Keen Flares

Keen Flares

Tier 3 or 4 neutral item. Good for scouting fights, but there are many drawbacks. The enemy can see it, the cooldown is long, manacost is high, and the item is gone after 3 uses. It also gives no passive bonuses to the hero so it is a significant tradeoff vs. most other neutrals.
