Tor'Val by Vindicator_Morty

---

Blood Sacrifice allows him to become a great threat in prolonged engagements. This ability is based around strength which is also his primary attribute. This ability gains power while Tor'Val is in combat (getting hits on enemy heroes) giving him physical damage increase for next 3 attacks after being activated.

-Blood Sacrifice damage has no time limit (only lose the bonus damage after attacking).

-Blood Sacrifice stacks are gained even while ability is on cool down.

-If Tor'Val successfully damages an enemy with maximum number of Blood Sacrifice stacks the oldest stack refreshes its expiration timer (or get replaced with a new one - whichever you prefer).

Soul Siphon allows Tor'Val to finish off or chase fleeing targets. Agility heroes usually require mobility to quickly enter or leave skirmishes. This significantly increases his strength against enemies with no escapes. It can also be used as a finisher on low health enemies fleeing for their life.

Orb of Darkness is most versatile and powerful ability Tor'Val possesses. It works in a similar way as Fissure where you pick a target and the orb travels from Tor'Val in selected direction. Then the ball travels and steals mana from nearby enemies (especially good against heroes with smaller mana pools or those who rely on expensive abilities) and afterwards deals damage or restores mana (and health if mana is full).

-Orb is always shot from Tor'Val's front side (meaning you need to take turn rate into account when you want to shoot it in the direction he isn't facing).

-Just like first and second ability focus on Strength and Agility this one is based around Intelligence. Because many Intelligence heroes rely on their big mana pools to cast abilities in team fights ( Skywrath Mage, Leshrac) while also being relatively weak because they rarely purchase defensive items this ability works well if you manage to reach the detonation threshold (also works great in combination with area-of-effect disables such as Black Hole or Earth Splitter.

The Collection tries to vary his play style from game to game. Since you rarely encounter the same enemy team composition his ending attributes (and passive ability buffs ) tend to vary on how successful he is in getting kills/assists on enemy heroes as well as their overall composition (because you can only get one stack per unique hero).

-Tor'Val should ideally decide his play style (if he wants to be a carry, nuker or tank) depending on enemy team composition (can he get many Agility stacks for bigger slow, or more Intelligence for more powerful nuke) as well as his own.

-This ability guarantees Tor'Val's relevance in late game if he manages to get the attribute stacks (which can be amplified with lv.25 talent).

LORE

---

Tor'Val never really liked his peers. Even in his youth his mind was preoccupied with shiny objects, hidden treasures or other artifacts of collectible nature. That's why he got a reputation of a "demon magpie" when growing up.

But through time as his power and knowledge grew so did his ambition to create the most magnificent collection any realm had ever seen. As his collection of weapons, relics and other valuables expanded, so did his need of collecting even more powerful objects for his collection.

Sadly there were forces that even mighty Demon Overlord couldn't overcome with brute force. His strategy needed some adaptation. Therefore he offered his services as a mercenary in exchange for the object(s) he desired.

This led him to cross swords with Juggernaut after helping thieves to steal the Defender from Ivory Isles, leading the charge in Fields of Endless Carnage and riding along Chaos Knight's side in many battles.
