All information about neutral items in Dota 2

On 27th November night Valve introduced a new Dota 2 update - The Outlanders.

Let's talk about the neutral items today. Where get them? What to do with them? Who they suit better? The answers to these and other questions are here.

General information

The neutral items are unique. That means that you cannot buy them at Secret Shops or base, but you may share them with your ally. You may put them out, but you cannot destroy them.

Summing up

There tons of items, but which of them are necessary and who needs them? Nealy all the neutral items have analogs available at shop. For instance, Arcane Ring is very similar to Arcane Boots, and Phoenix Ash is similar to Aegis of Immortal. That is why we advise you to act on a situation and share the items with your allies. Let's say you play for Enchantress and knock from the jungle creep Tome of Aghanim. In this case, you better give it to the mid-lane Invoker. As Dota 2 is a team game.
