Description
Nullification Burst was a legacy answer to high-value buff windows. Instead of winning through raw DPS, it broke the enemy's setup by removing positive effects and denying stamina use and healing for several seconds. It was especially valuable into snowball carries or supports relying on layered protection, because one good cast could flatten an otherwise impossible fight shape.
Legacy Status

This legacy item currently uses a lighter reference template focused on patch history, core explanation, and old-guide lookup value.
Use cases
- Use it to break buff-stacked carries or cleanse-reliant frontliners before they fully engage.
- It is strongest when your team can immediately punish the 7-second deny window.
- Save it for the actual power spike target instead of spending it on low-value poke setups.
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.
