I just had a game where Tiamat didn't apply Sheen (I assume this is the same for Hydra too). I know this worked before so is this intended or a bug?
I'd also appreciate confirmation that Sheen won't work with Hydra as well.
Fredart1 votesYou have to use an ability to use sheen, activating an item doesn't count.
atomicwit1 votesI was reading some old threads that said it applied Sheen. Now, I see that they might actually referring to the splash damage also getting increased damage from Sheen. Can anyone confirm that this is true?
EDIT: It is not true.
There are still places that say it works with Sheen in the traditional way:
Also forgot to mention: the active on Hydra and Tiamat can also proc Sheen/Triforce/Icebourne Gauntlet. This means that you can squeeze in more burst damage by hitting with a sheen-buffed autoattack. An example is GP: I like to build Hydra on him, since it works well with IBG to clear waves quickly and get multiple kills with a parrley (with the bonus gold on each kill). In a fight, if your Q is on cooldown and you need to proc the slow from IBG, just AA-Hydra-and AA to get 3 autoattacks in less than a second, and do bonus damage with a slow on the last hit.
