What is Procast?
Ad blocker detected!
Procast
Procast (or burst combo) is a sequence of abilities and/or active items used in a very short time to deal maximum damage or quickly achieve a specific effect (like disable, kill, or initiation).
It’s most often associated with heroes whose spells deal magic damage and are most effective when cast quickly and precisely in succession. A good procast requires execution, reflexes, and timing awareness.
Example: Invoker: Rod of Atos/Gleipnir → Chaos Meteor + Sun Strike → Deafening Blast — a classic procast for instant kills.
