Option A

Option B

Examples:

Price difference: 50 goldA lower price alone does not make an item the better choice.

Option A

Positioning access and the first move in a fight. It adds no ordinary stats, so its value is measured by the openings it creates.

19.3 min · median

middle 50%: 15.4-25.5 min · n = 1,115

When it helps and what to consider

The team can follow the initiation immediately and the map offers an objective for the position gained.

A late Blink without smoke, vision or follow-up can become an expensive way to arrive under focus first.

Option B

Controlled displacement that breaks a positioning error, saves an ally or completes the distance to a cast.

21.3 min · median

middle 50%: 18.7-26.9 min · n = 358

When it helps and what to consider

The threat depends on position, slows or terrain rather than a long chain of hard disables.

Without a preselected target, the active is easily spent for convenience and missing for the real save.

This is a role-level observation without matching the hero or situation. The median is not a recommended purchase minute.

Stat	Blink Dagger	Force Staff
intelligence	-	10
health	-	175

A dash means no explicit value is available in the catalog. Active abilities and unique effects cannot be reduced to a sum of stats.

Need both items? The planner uses a shared budget and consecutive purchases.
