Tips

  • Use the Cyclone offensively by disabling an enemy before a gank, giving you the time to set up your abilities.
  • Use the Cyclone on fleeing enemies to give your team the time to surround the target.
  • Use the Cyclone on enemies in teamfights to take them out of the fight for a few seconds. This is especially effective on carries.
  • Use the Cyclone on yourself during teamfights, baiting enemies into using their abilities on you, then becoming invulnerable to interrupt their burst damage.
  • Use the Cyclone to buy yourself a little more time for abilities and items to come off cooldown, especially items like Blink Dagger or Blade Mail.
  • Use the Cyclone on an enemy who has activated items like Blade Mail, Satanic, or Lotus Orb. Doing so will waste the duration of those items.
  • Eul`s Scepter provides a cheap and beneficial dispel for support heroes who are very succebtible to silences. So when facing a lot of silences, or other strong but dispellable effects, Eul`s Scepter is usually the best option.
  • The 40 bonus movement speed works well with other items that increase movement speed, such as Phase Boots.

  • In conjunction with Phase Shift, Eul`s Scepter keeps Puck out of enemy reach, allowing more time for his numerous elusive abilities and items to come off cooldown.
Rubick
  • Eul`s Scepter provides Rubick with his only means of escape, and helps him avoid initiations so he can safely steal abilities after Cyclone ends.
Shadow Fiend
  • Eul`s Scepter is an excellent set up for Requiem of Souls, allowing Shadow Fiend to place himself directly on top of the target.
Skywrath Mage
  • Eul`s Scepter helps Skywrath Mage survive a little longer, and can be a good set up for Mystic Flare.
Techies
  • Eul`s Scepter provides much needed mana regeneration for Techies to lay more mines, and helps him set up mines under a Cycloned target.
  • Techies can also survive longer by Cycloning himself after using Blast Off!, while his team follows up.
Zeus
  • Eul`s Scepter improves Zeus` low mobility, and keeps his mana up for more frequent nuking.

Others

  • Bloodseeker can use the Cyclone to set up Blood Rite, preventing the target from moving out of its radius. It`s also widely used to prevent enemies from fleeing with Town Portal Scroll.
  • Timbersaw can place his Chakram underneath the Cyclone, thus hitting and slowing the target immediately after landing. He can also position himself for an easy Timber Chain. Since Timbersaw is reliant on his abilities for escape, using the Cyclone to dispel silences can ensure his survival if the enemy has no other follow-up disables.

Trivia

  • The scepter`s name is a reference to Eul, the creator of the first DotA map back in 2003.

General

Eul`s Scepter of Divinity (also known as Eul`s) is an excellent mid game item for supporting Intelligence heroes. Cost effective, it provides very high mana regeneration for its low cost. Its components can be bought from a combination of the Home Shop and Secret Shop, and Sage`s Mask is also purchasable from the Side Shop.
Eul`s movement speed bonus stacks with other items, but does not stack other Eul`s.

Notes
  • Blocked by Spell Immunity on enemies. Can always be casted on self, even when spell immune.
  • Blocked by Linken`s Sphere.
  • Cyclone effect can be purged, but the damage is still dealt.

Aggressive Use

Use it on heroes to give your allies time to get in position, or on heroes while they are running away to allow your spells time to cooldown. This is especially effective for locking down enemies with Blink Dagger as the fall damage will disable it.

Defensive Use

You can use it on enemy heroes chasing you allowing for time to escape, or use on yourself to give your allies time to come help.

Notable Heroes

  • Invoker: It provides a move speed boost that benefits movespeed-based Quas/Wex Invokers, and provides a good disable that gives you time to position yourself to use your spells effectively.
