Question about Riki 's new ult

So does Riki's new ult purge dust, or would he still be dusted? As a corollary to that is his new ult more of a defensive or offensive spell? I could see it doing both.

There's no indication that it purges anything. Just makes you invisible and you channel it.

Not really defensive, they know where you are so if they have a ground targeted stun you won't be using it long. You can probably use it to force them back from a dive, but I generally see it entirely for offensive use in conjunction with things like Ravage, Overgrowth, Reverse Polarity etc.

Actually I want to see Riki + CM now.

I was thinking stalling for your team to counterinitiate, but I guess the duration is probably too short.

Also, I thought it phased, not invisibly so you can't be stunned.
