Description
Cloak of Opportunity was a legacy utility-oriented capstone that turned one successful disengage or flank reset into a second play window. Instead of offering raw stat violence, it gave you hidden approach potential, extra movement speed, and stronger item cooldown flow, which made it especially valuable on heroes that chained multiple actives together. It was less about brute force and more about winning the timing war around when you re-entered the fight.
Legacy Status
Legacy item entry preserved for historic utility-reset builds, patch-note compatibility, and old community references.
This legacy item currently uses a lighter reference template focused on patch history, core explanation, and old-guide lookup value.
Use cases
- Use it on heroes that care more about reset timing and route access than about standing still for a stat check.
- It is strongest when your build already contains several impactful active items that benefit from faster cycling.
- Look for flank-heavy or pick-heavy games where stealth and movement speed create a real second engage window.
Quick Decision
Best On
Give this to heroes that can repeatedly convert its vitality profile instead of only admiring the raw tooltip.
Buy It When
Treat this as a mid-to-late decisive purchase: wait until your core identity exists so the expensive slot actually decides fights.
Do Not Force It When
Skip or delay it when your real problem is damage conversion rather than survival or front access.
Why This Legacy Page Stays
- This entry still maps to 2 historical patch references, so it remains useful as an old-guide and patch lookup target.
- The page keeps core explanation, use cases, stats, and version indexing instead of expanding into a full modern build-style page.
