Total Health Restored per Charge: 90
Total Mana Restored per Charge: 60
Duration: 2.5

Modifiers
Buff Bottle Regeneration: Undispellable.

Notes:

  • Has no effect when used while having no charges left, only the cooldown gets triggered.
  • Successive casts on the same target do not stack, but refresh the duration instead.
  • When casting without the Control key, it always casts on self in one click. When holding the Control key, a target has to be selected.
  • If the target is more than 600 range away, the caster moves to the target until it is within 350 range before casting.
  • Couriers can cast Regenerate, putting the item on its cooldown, but not regenerating the target or wasting a charge.
  • The owner does not have to face the target to give it a Bottle charge.
  • Restores in the form of regeneration, so it restores 3.6 health / 2.4 mana in 0.1 second intervals, which is 36 health / 24 mana per second.
  • All 3 charges together can restore up to 270 health and 180 mana.
  • Fully stacks with other health and mana regeneration increasing effects.

Runes can be stored in the Bottle for later use, and are activated automatically after 2 minutes.

Stored runes cannot be shared.

Notes:

  • Only one rune can be stored in a Bottle at a time. Attempting to store another rune into it just directly uses the new targeted rune.
    • Be that as it may, it is possible to have multiple Bottles in the inventory and store a rune with each of them.

General

Bottle is an early game item purchasable from the Consumables section in the Home Shop. It can also be bought from the Side Shop, but it will only have 1 charge. It is used to restore HP and Mana over a short period of time. The effect is lost if the user is attacked. Empty bottles refill near the fountain. Runes can also be stored in bottles to save for later use. After 2 minutes, stored runes will automatically activate. While a bottle is storing a rune, it is not droppable and cannot be shared.

Activating a stored rune refills the bottle. A powerup rune refills it fully while a bounty rune only refills it to two charges. A bounty rune always fills to two charges, even if there was one charge in the bottle beforehand. A courier carrying a non-full bottle moves 30% slower.

The bottle`s inventory icon shows how many charges it has remaining:

Notes
  • Heals 36 hp per second. Restores 24 mana per second.
  • Total health/mana restored with 3 charges: 270/180.
  • Bottle has a nearby buffer range, allowing it to be cast on allies within 600 range. Casting outside of this range results in the default 350 range being used instead of the buffer.
  • The effect is lost if damage is taken from an enemy player or Roshan.
  • This item can be shared with other players. While storing a rune, it is not droppable and cannot be shared.
  • HP Cost does not cancel the effect.
  • Hold Control to cast Regenerate on an ally.

Bottle Crowing

Bottle Crowing is a method by which the mid player calls the courier to come and ferry their bottle back to the fountain to refill it. This is efficient when the player is losing rune control against their opponent and can`t regularly refill their bottle. This saves time so the player will not miss out on any farm while the courier refills the bottle for them.

TP Refilling

If a hero was recently at the fountain, the fountain`s aura will linger on them for 3 seconds. As long as a unit has the fountain aura on it, any bottle it holds will be refilled.

In this scenario after teleporting near a hero with a bottle, the bottle can be given to the recently teleported hero to refill it. This is due to the hero who teleported still having the fountain aura on it, and it had held the bottle before the aura faded away.

Maximizing Regeneration Efficiency

Because bottle will heal hp and restore mana by a flat amount, temporarily lowering your total hp and mana will increase your overall gains. This works because the percentage of current hp and mana is maintained.

Example:

There is a hero with 100/1000 hp and 100/1000 mana (current/total). Normally using a bottle charge would give that hero 210/1000 hp and 170/1000 mana, which is inefficient.
In a scenario to maximize efficiency, the hero drops a vitality booster lowering its 100/1000 hp to 100/750 hp, and an energy booster lowering its 100/1000 mana to 100/750 mana. Using bottle in this state, it now has 210/750 hp and 170/750 mana.
The hero picks up both items it had temporarily dropped, and now has 314/1000 hp and 226/1000 mana, resulting in an overall gain of 79 hp and 56 mana.
This is an efficient way to gain more regeneration than you normally would.
This technique works because the percentage of hp and mana is maintained. For the mana in the example, 170 is 22.6% of the max 750. Increasing the max to 1000 keeps the 22.6%, thus increasing the current mana to 226.
This works for all flat regeneration sources, not just bottle. Flat means it is a fixed amount with no changing value based on a percentage.
Dropping items isn`t the only way either. It can also be performed with Power Treads. By switching the attribute of treads to agility before using the bottle, you can maximize the amount of hp and mana regained from the bottle charge.
