If the projectile kills the first enemy, the bounce damage increases up to 200%. Enemies hit will also be slowed down. Each unit of physical attack Reduces the cooldown of this skill by 0,05%..

How to play Bane
In this guide, we will focus on playing Bane in the experience lane. The player needs to be well versed in the map, to get the most out of your hero power. The gameplay can be divided into three phases, then we will consider each of them.
Beginning of the game
Bane can deal damage to enemies early in the game with his first skill. You must use this skill correctly to hit the enemy hero and minion wave in one cast. When the enemy laner gets close to the minions, try to hit them to deal more damage to the enemy.
If you play in the forest, take all buffs and forest monsters. After that, move around the map and help the allies until the first Turtle appears. Be sure to try to kill her, as in one of the updates The buff from this monster has been improved.
Mid game
Bane is very strong in the mid game. You can restore most of his health with the second skill, but his abilities consume a lot of mana. Use skills only when necessary to return to base less and not waste time regenerating mana.
Bane's ultimate is a good skill for controlling enemy positions. This is very useful for team battles. Another feature is that this ultimate can deal damage to towers. You can destroy the structure very quickly, so always use this opportunity. Your main job as an experience lane hero is to push or defend your lane.
late game
At the end of the game, always try to stay close to your team. Bane is very good in teamfights due to the huge range of his ult, high damage and stun effect. Try to ambush enemy shooters, killers and mages, as the hero's combo can kill them in seconds.
Like any other hero, Bane also has weaknesses. Despite the fact that he can deal massive damage, the hero has a rather low survivability in the late game. You must be more careful in choosing your position. Bane is very weak against heroes with crowd control skills, such as Chu or Paquito.
Conclusions
You can play Bane as a laner or jungler. This hero is a great choice for ranked play in the current meta. We hope this guide will help you play better as this hero. This guide comes to an end. If you prefer to use Bane in a different way, be sure to write about it in the comments below. Good luck and easy victories!
No entiendo por qué ahora sí estás en una tf tiras la abilidad suena a sale pero no sale tenés q tocar otra vez. En alguna ocasión pasa como solucionar eso o es algo de los ajustes
I balance between physical damage and tank build.
I take boots to:
Reducing control either on physical def.
First item:
Ax of War - for pure damage and at least some survivability.
Blade of Despair - for huge damage from the first skill and passive (which also brings physical damage).
Endless Battle - for more pure damage, lifesteal and skill cooldown.
Dominance of Ice - a huge supply of physical protection and passive.
The Oracle is a bit of a physical and a defense mage, and also has a plus for survivability from the second skill.
As a spare item, you can take the brute force cuirass to further reset the control cooldown.
The guide is ok, but I'm collecting Bane in a tank because it's not very good to play with randoms at a rate
make me a mage, you will get top heal, with one use of the second skill you can heal up to 4k HP
Unfortunately, I'm not a boom-boom when it comes to gear selection, because I use purely other people's builds (except when I need to choose Haas Claws or something else for healing). However, I think Bane is a well balanced hero in terms of base stats (survivability, damage, CC, difficulty).
In terms of tactics, I am more pumping ult and beer (2 skill), and I use the crab gun purely as a crutch for finishing-control. That is, first I use my ult, I run up to the enemy with the help of "Sprint" (as it is much better than "Flash" in my opinion), then I attack him, taking damage, I do the "Beer to Dash" move and wait until it accumulates scale (poison damage increases by a maximum of 150% if overexposed to the red line). Then I set up a blevatron, attacking the enemy twice with the passive and thereby finishing him. If something goes wrong, I use the first skill and again the passive for finishing. This tactic works in terms of combat with 1-2 enemies, no more (since if there are more than 2 enemies, then the chances of success are extremely small). That is why it is better to beware of large concentrations of enemies and not go into battle alone.
Also, I don't agree about the big mana waste - I spent all my mana only 2 times in the entire history of my game as Bane. I myself like him because he can act as a tank / controller / jungler or just a hero with high damage like Balmond.
Hello!! Great guide, thanks a lot...
Please tell me about Bane Mage..
As a friend explained to me, Bane plays on experience, the main damage comes from the ult and sneeze (2 skill, 2 act)
Best bane build I've tried
Boots on cd
Blade of Despair
Oracle
Bloody Wings
sacred crystal
Fleeting Time or Divine Sword or Endless Battle or Angry Roar (depending on the situation and opponent items) - Fleeting Time is a universal item
Why is this build
Throughout the game, for the most part, bane plays at the expense of skills - therefore, you need to use them as often as possible, so the boot on cd
The main skill at each stage of the game is the first skill, it depends on physical damage. Therefore, after the blade of despair, the bane begins to drag. Before assembling this item, you need to play defensively, you are too weak
Oracle: 10% cooldown, magic defense and 2 main points when assembling the indicated magic items, bane will recover from the second skill (if you have ~ 50% hp) 1500-2500 every 3-4 seconds
Plus, the oracle increases the shield from the wings of the queen, in this assembly there are approximately 1200 shield units
Blood Wings also grant 30 movement speed. In combination with the indicated emblems, floor 2 skill, the speed will reach 530 units.
Well, after killing / assisting under a fleeting, the cd of the ult will be ~ 10 seconds
Support emblems with 3 perks
For movement speed - maximum
Hybrid recovery - will solve the problem with mana
It is better to play through the forest, however, bane feels great in any role other than roaming.
You need to play like this, if you see a solo uel and you can sneak up without using 2 skills all of a sudden, do it and kill. 2 skill + Ult + 2 auto attacks + 1 auto attack + 2 + auto attack - do not survive thin targets
In fights, stay behind and as soon as the tank starts absorbing damage and casting control, burst in with your ult, second skill and fly into the fight if the querens that control will fly at you
Bane is a very strong and underrated hero, with huge amount of AoE damage, healing, ranged damage (like adk) escape in the form of haste and a mass ult with control
He also coolly pushes creeps under the tower and demolishes other people's towers thanks to his passive
Thanks for the detailed comment! We are sure that other players will find this information very useful.
I like Bane, in my opinion he is an iconic one, he is my favorite, and thanks for the assembly, she really suits this hero
