Can someone please tell me what’s useful about Scorchsap? All I can see is curses and curses that affects teammates only.
You are supposed the shift the curse to opponent and force them to use the harmful skills. You can combo him with one on one/lemon to wake up your sleeping monsters too. He is a niche monster but a useful for combo players. It’s a very old strategy tho so don’t expect it to be super competitive.

You can use it alongside one-on-one (OoO) to wake up your team with painful curse then pass over to the enemy team when you’re ready. Bear in mind it poisons the enemies on entry so they will wake up, but you can time when you do it.
Some extra things you can do with it: set up poison monsters due to the entrance or use it as a target for defang / antidote / flame eater / double counter strike (i.e. get an easy kill for a blood move or allow you to critical something else too).
Generally the its design works is it’s 100s before you can pass it over, then 200s before they can pass it back so it wastes lots of time for them and you kill it just before it passes back.
These days there are quite a lot of mythics with sleep immunity so people usually use them with OoO, but in the past there was much less stuff that stayed awake so Bundleblazer was a good enabler and there were fewer OoO counters too so it was more reliable despite having low speed.
In PvE it’s very easy to pull off this OoO combo. You can also simply use it alongside something like stun. I think the AI always creates the Bronzeshells in its team so it’s an easy way to slow them down lots.

Thank you so much! I guess I didn’t realize what shift curse meant because it didn’t have a link for it. Now I know😊
Thanks a lot for answering
