CURRENT ITEM DOSSIER

Mobility and positioning

Reduces the effect of enemy Move Speed penalties.

Enduring Speed functions as mobility and positioning within the Vitality shop. The strategic value is improving access, escape, or the ability to preserve a favorable firing angle. Because it is a transitional purchase, the right comparison is the fight pattern it unlocks versus the other purchases that the same 1,600 souls could complete.

LOCK LAB ANALYSIS

When Enduring Speed belongs in the build

BUY WHEN
  • Positioning is the main reason your damage or utility is not reaching the right target.
  • The extra movement enables a repeatable engage, rotation, chase, or disengage pattern.
  • You can convert the mobility into objective pressure rather than only correcting late positioning.
SKIP WHEN
  • Hard control or burst damage prevents movement from solving the actual problem.
  • Your hero already reaches fights reliably and needs stronger conversion after arriving.
  • The item would be used as an emergency escape instead of supporting a deliberate game plan.
DATA-BACKED BUILD CONTEXT

Timing, movement, and hero fit

Enduring Speed is a transitional purchase at 1,600 souls. Judge it against the next fight and the purchases it delays, not only against its isolated tooltip value.

Lock Lab has not received a reliable current sample for Enduring Speed yet, so no performance conclusion should be drawn from missing data.

EDITORIAL REVIEW · August 16, 2026
HERO & ABILITY INTERACTION

Enduring Speed preserves movement when enemies rely on slows to control spacing. It is especially valuable for heroes who must keep a firing angle, maintain a chase, or retreat without surrendering all momentum.

COMMON MISTAKE

Buying it against hard stuns, roots, or knockdowns. Slow resistance does not replace a cleanse or immunity answer to complete movement denial.

HOW OPPONENTS ANSWER

Layer hard control after the reduced slow, or force the buyer into terrain where movement speed cannot create a new angle. Do not depend on one soft slow to secure the catch.

PRACTICAL BUILD EXAMPLE

Upgrade from general movement when slow effects—not map travel—become the repeated reason engages and escapes fail.

COMPARE BEFORE BUYING

Sprint Boots improves rotations, Extra Stamina improves active dodging, and Dispel Magic removes specific debuffs. Enduring Speed is the persistent anti-slow choice.
