sikle discussed a bug involving Lina’s Crystalys and Daedalus in Dota 2
Lina’s left talent at level 25 does not work in combination with Crystalys and Daedalus. This was reported by Team Spirit analyst Mark “sikle” Lerman.

Lina is currently a fairly popular flex hero [carry and mid], and she has been picked 18 times in tournaments so far, with 5 of those builds reaching Daedalus Doberalis and another 5 reaching Crystalys. In other words, critical strike items have become an integral part of the late-game build.
However, with this purchase, the talent “Targets under the effect of her innate ability receive 150% critical strikes” stops working.
There’s already been some buzz on Reddit about the bug, so a fix could come as early as today. <...>
Currently, Lina is tied with Earth Spirit for 5th–6th place in pick rate at The International 2026. They’re trailing behind Hoodwink, Mirana, Centaur Warrunner, and Undying.
