Recipe

The Force Staff is an Item purchasable at the Main Shop, under Caster. It is commonly used for chasing and escaping, particularly over terrain obstacles.

Ability

Force Play Ability Affects Target Unit Units Pushes any target unit 600 units in the direction it is facing. Double click to self-cast. Cast Range: 800 20 25

Notes: Quick-cast will cause you to use Force on yourself. Force Staff doesn't interrupt the target's actions. Will not work on a unit inside Chronosphere or Black Hole. Units are pushed over a 0.3 duration. Can force units over cliffs and through trees (destroying them in the process). However, there are a few ledges and pits that Force cannot cross which will set the item on cooldown without moving the targeted unit.
