Blink Boots
Overview
Blink Boots are a Mystic item designed for aggressive heroes, assassins, and players who value mobility. Their unique effect allows heroes to discover Blink Runes while destroying bushes — runes that grant a Blink ability to instantly teleport a short distance. At higher levels, Blink Boots allow heroes to carry an additional Blink Rune and provide Critical Strike Chance, making them one of the most offensive boot options in the game.

Stats
Why Use Blink Boots?
Blink Boots are designed for heroes that rely on positioning. The ability to instantly blink gives players access to opportunities that would otherwise be impossible — a well-timed Blink can secure a kill, escape an ambush, dodge dangerous abilities, or quickly reposition during combat. Unlike many utility items, Blink Boots also increase Critical Strike Chance, which stacks with other sources of critical strikes and fits naturally into many offensive builds. The Blink Rune effect becomes available from the first upgrade, and later upgrades increase the number of runes that can be carried.
