Does pure damage work with Etheral blade?

[McFlurry Butts]

I saw that Linas scepter changes the damage type to pure. Does it still work with etheral blade or not?

[achus93]

nope, because Pure damage is not Magical damage.

if you're planning on increasing the damage output of Lina's Agh's Laguna, you'd need Damage Amplification, like Shadow Demon, Chen, Bloodseeker and Undying, or you can get Orchid.

if you're not upgrading to an Agh's, you can still use the Veil + EBlade combo on her.

I haven't actually played Lina since the update, but I'm pretty sure aghs just makes it go through bkb instead of changing it to pure damage. Should still work with EBlade

Edit: I can't read titles

no, it was very much stated in the update that Lina's Agh's not only makes it go through spell immunity, but also deal Pure damage.

Only magic dmg.
Which is a shame because the change killed my carry Lina

or you could just not get Agh's, thus nullifying the change.

True, but the combo I had with eterial blade, scepter and Lina's ult instakilled most non-durable heros

because of the increased damage and range?
i usually get Agh's because it's cool to pierce through BKB.

True that

honestly, that was such a relatively minor buff (in comparison), but it's such an awesome thing.
"oh, you have BKB? well, ♥♥♥♥ you too buddy!"

She is a really counter counter to PA, espically with ghost scepter

[Not a Seagull]

dont forget that ghost form + magical ~ pure
actually ghost form gives sth like 1.05 x damage, when reduced with resistance
so actually not only gives bkb a pierce, but also some kind of ghost form

Suppose so.
I did enjoy the range bonus though
