The Ghoul King

Melee - Durable - Carry

The end of his reign as King drew nearer, and Basil Eus lay on his death bed. His clerics failing him, he drew the aid of his court wizards, and when even they failed he took darker measures. A once great mage and recipient of the Ring of Basilius, now an Apostate to the Dead God, promised him eternal life. Basil Eus took the mage's offer but in turn paid dearly. Hideous appendages grew; horns of rock, long claws, scaley skin. Most of all the new ghoulish King feels a new hunger, not one of riches or power, but of flesh and war.

Primary Abilities

Shield of Retribution
Places a shield on a unit that increases movespeed if placed on an ally, and slows if placed on an enemy. If an enemy casts a spell or an item on a shielded unit they are zapped for damage and slowed.
Zap Damage is dealt before the spell or item effect happens, so if the casting enemy dies from the Retribution damage the spell effect does not happen.

Level 20 Talent grants one instance of Spell Block. Spell Block blocks the spell but still damages and slows the caster.

Ultimate Abilities

Death Defy
Upon dropping to below 10% health Ghoul King gains a burst of health that heals him back to 30% / 40% / 50% hp and applies a Strong Dispel to himself. He then slowly loses that hp over time. This health drain cannot kill him.
Death Defy health gain is coded as Health Manipulation and cannot be modified in any way. Health drain is pure damage. Drains 10% of Max HP per second for 3 / 4 / 5 seconds.
