Voodoo Restoration allows the character to maintain his allies’ health, which is useful in team fights. The hero's key spell is Death Ward, which can deal significant damage to a selected target unit, and with the purchase of Aghanim's Scepter, the ability becomes very effective in team fights. The ultimate is most effective against enemies affected by Maledict.
