Why are these two items a must-buy in almost every game?

1. Counter HP Regen or Heal

In meta season 18, there are many sidelane fighter heroes who rely on very high regen or heal so they are very difficult to kill. Examples of these heroes are: Uranus, Khaleed, and Hilda which you can meet in almost every game.

The effects of Necklace of Durance (NOD) and Sea Halberd will reduce the regen or heal effect by 50%. So enemies who have 200 HP regen per second will only get 100 HP per second. So for the heroes above who can’t die because their regen is higher than your team’s damage, suddenly the regen is not as effective as before so the enemy hero is not that strong anymore.

And also this includes the heal effect of emblems such as Assassin – Killing Spree. This emblem is very well used by current hyper core heroes who are diligent in roaming and killing here and there. Now the NOD effect will also cut the heal effect of the Killing Spree from 20% to 10% additional HP.

2. Counter Shield Gain

Well it turns out that quite a lot of people don’t know that NOD and Sea Halberd can reduce the Shield gain effect. Examples of heroes that have the effect of adding a shield are Esmeralda, Chang’e, Uranus, Hilda, Silvanna, Jawhead and Harith.

Just like the regen effect, the additional shield effect from the skills of the heroes above will also be reduced by 50%. For example, Uranus uses skill 2 and adds 1,000 shield points, if affected by the NOD effect, he only gets 500 shields.

In meta season 18 now there are many OP heroes because of the high shield gain. So NOD and Sea Halberd will be very effective to counter these heroes.

You can watch this video for proof of the effect of NOD and Sea Halberd to shiled gain:

3. Counter Lifesteal

Heroes with high lifesteal are also very troublesome, especially when entering the late game phase. Heroes who were almost dead can suddenly have their HP full again. Examples of lifesteal heroes are Alucard, Yu Zhong, Roger, Silvanna, and Leomord.

Lifesteal here includes Spell Vamp, Physical Lifesteal, and Magical Lifesteal

NOD and Sea Halberd also counter heroes or lifesteal items such as Endless Battle, Haas Claw, and Queen’s Wing. What was 25% lifesteal for example 250 from 1000, so it should be reduced by 50% to 125 only.

So you can see for yourself why this item has become an item that you have to buy in almost every game. Almost all overpowered heroes in season 18 have one of the 3 abilities above: high regen, large shield, and lifesteal.

Let’s just say that when you buy NOD or Sea Halberd the above heroes decrease their effectiveness by around 50%.

Which hero should buy a Necklace of Durance (NOD)?

Almost all heroes who rely on Area of ​​Effect (AOE) skills can buy NOD. Because when you use skills, you can make several enemy heroes affected by the NOD effect at once.

Because of that NOD is usually bought by heroes Mage or Support who have skills with wide AOE. Examples: Chang`e, Pharsa, Valir, Kagura, and Cecilion.

But it is possible for tank or fighter heroes to also buy NOD when there are no other heroes who can buy it. Examples of fighter or tank heroes who have AOE skills that are still suitable to buy NOD: Hylos, Uranus, Esmeralda, X-Borg, and Baxia.

To be effective, better only 1 hero bought NOD because the NOD effect cannot be stacked even though it is purchased by 2 different heroes.

Which hero should buy Sea Halberd?

Actually this item does not need NOD because as explained above, NOD and Sea Halberd effects cannot be stacked.

Then when is the best time to buy Sea Halberd? You can consider this item for your core when:

  1. Core is a marksman hero (MM) that requires high attack speed such as Wan Wan, Claude, Karrie, Thamuz, and Hanabi
  2. Other heroes from your team are not suitable to buy NOD. Examples of heroes like Selena who mostly have single target burst skills, so they are less effective when using NOD
  3. When other heroes from your team are poor and only you have more Gold to immediately counter the opponent’s hero

When Should You Buy NOD or Sea Halberd?

If you fight a very overpowered hero from the early game because of the heal, lifesteal, or shield effects. You should buy this item in your second item after shoes.

Because if you can counter overpowered (OP) heroes with NOD from the beginning of the game you will feel much easier because these OP heroes will have difficulty when farming & war so they will die more often.

For Sea Halberd itself, the price is quite expensive at 2350 compared to 2010’s NOD. So to buy a hero core at first it seems less than optimal.

Now the trick is that you can first buy the cheap version of the item called Deadly Blade (only 1200). Deadly Blade itself does not have high damage and attack speed like Sea Halberd, but you can enjoy the 50% reduction effect on regen, shield, or lifesteal. So when you already have some other items you can upgrade Deadly Blade to Sea Halberd
