HIDDEN MECHANICS
What the in-game descriptions do not tell you: crowd-control rules and verified skill quirks. How crowd control works →

- Crash Course increases Chip's basic attack range to 3.5.
Overtime- Overtime increases Chip's basic attack range to 3.5.
Shortcut- Immobilize — low-level control: does not interrupt skills — the target can still cast; blocked by control immunity.
- The first connecting portal that a Hero comes in will be marked as the connecting portal for them.
- Going through a connecting portal will trigger Phoveus's Demonic Force but not on returning.
- A hero can only return to the previous portal once after 2 seconds of waiting delay.
- The Main Portal is treated as a creep, and is fully affected by Retribution.
- Does not create Connecting Portals to unit inside Yin's My Turn and vice versa if Chip is inside.
