Shuriken Details

Type Attack Price 750 Tier 2	[Effect] Attack Speed +25%
Gold Efficiency	81.46% (not including Vital Point passive)
Unique Passive(s)	Vital Point: Normal attacks deal additional 20 physical damage (+1 per hero level) for melee heroes and 40 physical damage (+2 per hero level) for ranged heroes.

The attack speed that Shuriken offers pairs well with its unique passive, the flat damage adding up as the wielder lays more and more attacks onto their target. In addition, Shuriken builds into Fafnir’s Talon, a powerful item sought by numerous damage based heroes.

Recommended Heroes and/or Situation:

Shuriken is a great fit for marksmen, the attack speed and passive effect benefiting their basic attack-focused play style. When building Fafnir’s Talon, the damage and speed it provides can help the wielder farm more than the other components, making this a strong item to quickly build.
