Azure Gloves

Overview

Azure Gloves is a Mystic item available from the beginning of the game. The item focuses entirely on one thing: Attack Speed. Unlike many other items that provide multiple bonuses, Azure Gloves are designed for heroes that already have strong attacks and simply need to attack faster. For some heroes, increasing Attack Speed provides a larger damage increase than purchasing additional damage items. Because of this, Azure Gloves can become one of the most effective offensive items in the right build.

Why Use Azure Gloves?

Azure Gloves dramatically increase Attack Speed. Heroes that already deal high damage often gain enormous value from attacking more frequently. Faster attacks mean more damage, more farming speed, more ability interactions, and more opportunities to trigger item effects. However, Azure Gloves are usually not an item that players rush to level 4 immediately. In many situations, upgrading the item once or twice early provides enough Attack Speed to gain a noticeable advantage. Players often finish upgrading the item later in the match once they have acquired additional damage sources. Because Attack Speed scales with other offensive stats, Azure Gloves become stronger as the game progresses.

Best Heroes for Azure Gloves

Stonewarden

Azure Gloves are one of the strongest offensive items for Stonewarden. His Basic Attack naturally deals high damage but attacks more slowly. Azure Gloves help offset this weakness by significantly increasing Attack Speed. This allows Stonewarden to attack more frequently while maintaining his powerful hits.

→

Spiritmonger

Spiritmonger can gain tremendous value from Azure Gloves. As she collects Souls, her damage becomes increasingly threatening. Additional Attack Speed allows her to apply that damage much more frequently. The result is a hero that can attack both quickly and extremely hard.

→

Grizzly

Azure Gloves work exceptionally well on Grizzly. His damage increases as he continues attacking the same target. More Attack Speed means he reaches higher damage levels much faster. Against durable enemies, this can dramatically increase his overall damage output.

→

Faerie

Although uncommon, Azure Gloves can be useful on support-oriented Faerie builds. Faerie's attacks heal allies. Increasing her Attack Speed allows her to heal teammates more frequently, making Azure Gloves an interesting option for players focused on supporting their team rather than maximizing damage.
