Lifestealer



Assimilate


Casting Method:Active

Cast Range: 150
Damage Radius: 700
Damage: 300
Ally Order Lock Duration: 2

How can Lifestealer resist the chance to sample an ally?
Mana Cost: 50 Cooldown Time: 50
Additional Information
Notes:
  • Requires Aghanim's Scepter to be unlocked.
  • Can only be cast on allied heroes, including Meepo clones, excluding illusions.
  • The allied hero is invulnerable and hidden and still gains experience and gold during Infest.
  • 2 seconds after assimilating an allied hero, the hero can move out of N'aix by issuing any order.
  • During Assimilate, the allied hero is periodically moved to Lifestealer's current position.
  • When Assimilate ends (be it via Eject, or Lifestealer dies), the allied hero will appear at the Lifestealer's location.
  • Every aura the allied hero has (including Gem of True Sight and Radiance) affect units around Lifestealer.
  • Relocate causes the periodic moving of the allied hero to get canceled, so that the 2 notes above don't apply anymore.
  • Recall will cause the ally to pop out of Lifestealer, dealing the area damage and then being teleported.
  • Assimilate does not stop any regeneration. So the ally will return with the health and mana he had before Assimilate + what Lifestealer healed + what he could regenerate during it.
  • Lifestealer is marked with a visual effect above him, visible to allies only.
