Abilities
Essence Bomb
Sacrifice some of your health to launch a bomb that explodes after a brief arm time, dealing area damage. Self damage type is Spirit and can be mitigated.
Life Drain
Create a tether that drains enemy health over time and heals you. Target must be in line of sight and within max range to drain. You can shoot and use other abilities during the drain, but your move speed is reduced. Alternate Cast to give health to friendly Heroes.
Malice
Sacrifice some of your health to launch blood shards that apply a stack of Malice. Each stack slows the victim and increases the damage they take from you. The slow effect decreases over time.
Soul Exchange
Swaps health levels with an enemy target within close range. There is a minimum health percentage that enemies can be brought down to and a minimum amount of health received based on victim's current health. Cannot be used if you would receive less than 30% of your max health.
Strengths
- + Excellent sustain through Life Drain allows extended trades and regeneration in fights
- + High burst combo potential with Essence Bomb + Malice stacking
- + Soul Exchange can instantly swing 1v1 fights or secure kills on low-health targets
- + Strong scaling with spirit power amplifies all ability damage and healing
- + 80% damage-to-heal conversion on Life Drain is extremely efficient
- + Good area control with Essence Bomb's radius and Malice's spread
- + Malice stacking provides both damage amp and slow for follow-up
Weaknesses
- − Vulnerable to crowd control during Life Drain channel (40% slow to self)
- − Anti-healing items (Healbane, Toxic Bullets) severely limit sustain
- − Self-damaging abilities (Essence Bomb, Malice) can be exploited
- − No escape abilities makes her vulnerable to ganks
- − Short cast range on Soul Exchange (5.5m) requires dangerous positioning
- − Very long ultimate cooldown (190s) creates extended windows of weakness
- − Predictable ability patterns - Essence Bomb arm time and Malice spread are telegraphed
- − Struggles against heroes who can burst her down before she can Life Drain
