Dota – How does Ghost Scepter affect sustained damage abilities

If an Ultimate is "Scepter Upgradable", that means purchasing the Aghanim's Scepter item will enhance your hero's ultimate. Usually there is a damage increase, cooldown decrease, and/or mana cost decrease, although some heroes have additional enhancements (i.e. Tiny with a scepter will wield a tree that enhances his Toss damage and gives him cleave damage for his regular attacks).

Aghanim's can be assembled with a Point Booster (you can get this at the Secret Shop), a Blade of Alacrity, an Ogre Axe, and a Wizard Staff.

Total Cost: 4200

While there is a limited amount of heroes whose Ultimates are enhanced by Aghanim's, IceFrog has previously stated that he wishes to implement scepter upgrades for all heroes.

Axe's Culling Blade is the only ability that kills through Shallow Grave. Techies is also capable of killing themselves when under the effect of Shallow Grave by using Suicide. The Shallow Grave ability is also not able to be purged, so there is zero worry other than that.

Some spells will poison/affect you for longer than the 5 seconds that Shallow Grave lasts and thus may kill you as the effect ends if you're not careful.
