Raindrop
“Drop” (or “drops”) in Dota 2 is a slang term for the item Infused Raindrops. It becomes available for purchase starting from the 3rd minute of the game and is highly effective in lane against heroes with a lot of magical damage, because it blocks 120 magical damage from abilities when the incoming damage exceeds 75.
