It's kinda like lotus orb, except it gets dispelled after one use (unlike lotus orb that can reflect many spells), and except that you can't choose the target you want to protect (unlike lotus orb where you can choose whom to put the orb on.
And the worst part is that the aghs shard costs more than lotus orb. Lotus orb you buy the stat components and get the ability without a recipe. Of course it's not really "free" but you do get significant value from the stat components anyway. The aghs shard of spirit breaker is just gold for the ability only, imagine if you had to pay 1400 for a lotus orb recipe.
Oh and spirit breaker's planar pocket crap has a longer cooldown than lotus orb. And for the protection to work spirit breaker must remain within a fixed radius of the teammate.
Wtf… it's just garbage.
You cast planar pocket and PA or Zeus or any hero can just throw ANY SPELL on ANY ONE of your teammates to remove the planar pocket (and damage bara with the spell at the same time)
