Eye of Skadi
Situational / another teammate may buy · 20–34 min
Why against Necrophos
Skadi's attacks cut their healing, regen and lifesteal, so heroes who win by sustaining through fights can't outheal your damage.

Situational / another teammate may buy · 26–40 min
Why against Necrophos
Mutes the save spells and items on their heroes, so the target you jump actually dies.
