Dota – Do orb effects stack

dota-2

Orb effect items in Dota 2 do not indicate that they have an Orb effect. Does this mean that I can stack them? If so, can I stack the same item with exactly the same Orb effect?

Orb effects in Dota 2 are called Unique Attack Modifiers - items that have attack modifiers are noted in the individual item descriptions, and they do not stack. That being said, you can still make use of multiple orb effects if you wish (although it is not recommended since they don't stack).

For example, if two attack modifiers are activated by chance, during any given attack one modifier or the other could activate.

The one exception to the above is in the case of ranged heroes using Eye of Skadi and Lifesteal. As it was in Dota 1, Skadi's slow and lifesteal will both stack.
