Heroes of Newerth guide to Bubbles auto take cover
What works and how and what does not
Introduction
Bubbles take cover ability can pretty much dodge every incoming attack if timed correctly. A good bubbles player can utilize this to his advantage.
But there are a few abilities that it will work better against if being put on autocast. In this post I will therefore address all the abilities that does have some sort of effect on bubbles, if take cover being on autocast. It might be direct damage, or it might be damage over time, slow, silence, etc. Take a note of these and learn them.
Every other spell not mentioned in this post his auto take cover does protect him from.
The 'guide' is a bit lengthy but cannot really be shortened more than to the below rule of thumb.
General rule of thumb
Every ability that does damage usually triggers his take cover. Unless they provide a stun and/or a silence. But he will always usually get the effect from the spell.

Finishing words
People probably won't need this 'guide' for a whole lot but I needed to know what worked with bubbles. And I'm sorry if other guides of the same is already made.
PS. limited to 65 images so some hero avatars are missing.
Oh, and I didn't know where to post it because it isn't really a guide per se.
Edit:
Ah crap, someone else has made a better one already.
