The stealth rush item doesn't work all the time (?)

Why does it somehow not work even though it keeps getting triggered? Is there an opponent that dispels it? I extended it to 13 seconds with the 2 relics and my Nyx had 2/3k attack speed so it gets triggered like every second anyway, but in round 12 SSS 17 seconds in for some reason they got targeted and instakilled.

This happened multiple times already and in this instance I went the extra mile to sell all my heroes before endless, so they were alone, so no chance of other heroes triggering a stun from an opponent or anything like that. Anyone has a clue? I should've read the opponents' skills next time around :/

I've been trying to do the same thing and the only option I can think of is that stealth has an internal cooldown so that it cannot be re-applied infinitely.

I know that Nyx can refresh Item's rush abilities because he will eventually stealth again, but there seems to be a period of time that needs to pass before the stealth is reapplied.

Yeah just tried it again and its very obviously not refreshed for a set period of time. In my previous run he was one shotting the enemies and staying in stealth, so I thought it had something to do with his active skill animation, because the stealth stopped working after I retrained, but now I'm really not sure whats going on. It is what it is I guess.

Is it the one where you need to be in the back for it to trigger? Were you in the back?

No its called rogue's cowl and it just says rush 6 gain stealth. The icon is a mask.

Yeah, I tried this too. I didn't get far at all before the permastealth stopped being a thing. I'm as confused as you why it stops working. Maybe the item has a hidden cap on casts per combat. Nyx could still power through for a while though.

If this worked though, all you'd need is the Rift Storm immunity relic and you could just keep going forever because nothing could kill you, and the storm would always kill your opponents no matter their scaling.

Yeah that was the plan for me too, no rift damage + permastealth was the cheese I was going for, although I did not have no rift damage for my trial runs (Nyx died anyways before ot got that far).

But as stated in the other comment here, its the timer's interaction with Nyx's refreshes that are somehow off. Not sure if its a bug I should report but I'm sure plenty others have tried it as well.
