NOTES

• The damage counter accumulates all damage instances dealt to the Soul Rend target within the last 5 seconds.
  • Damage instances from all damage types the target received are summed up and dealt as another single spell damage instance.
    • Accumulate amount is based on actual damage amount taken by the target (i.e. after all damage manipulation is applied).
  • Neither accumulate damage flagged as HP Removal or damage sources with the no-reflection flag (e.g. Blade Mail).
  • The accumulated bonus damage dealt can be avoided if the target becomes invulnerable, or hidden at the end of the duration.

• Applies the accumulated damage as soon as the debuff expires. Therefore, the debuff being dispelled negates the accumulated damage bonus entirely.
  • Successive casts on the same target refreshes the debuff duration and delays, and increase the accumulated bonus damage value further.
  • The accumulated damage dealt is credited to the last caster of Soul Rend on the affected target.

• Attacks against the affected target have absolute accuracy, which prevents its attacks from being missed (i.e. evasion or blind effects).

• The attack-based bonus damage is dealt in a separate damage instance, and counts as spell damage.
  • This means it is not affected or considered by anything that works with attack damage.
  • The bonus damage is applied to all incoming attacks, including attacks from buildings, wards, and allies.
  • The source of the damage is the Bloodthorn caster, not the attacker itself, and thus utilises the caster's spell amplification and spell lifesteal sources.

• Shares cooldown with Soul Burn.

Pierce

Ability
Passive

Enemies

Damage
Magical

Grants each attack a 40% chance to pierce through evasion and deal 60 bonus magical damage.

Proc Chance: 40%

Damage: 60

Illusion Notes:

Illusions do not benefit from the conditional bonus attack damage.

Other aspects of Pierce are fully functional.

NOTES

• Pierce from multiple Javelins work fully independently from each other.
  • This means that two of them can proc on the same attack and both deal their damage.
  • Also stacks with Pierce.

• The bonus damage is considered as a conditional attack damage bonus and is magical damage.
  • Although the attack damage bonus values are not displayed in the HUD, it is still considered and directly added to the unit's attack damage.
  • It is not considered by lifesteal, crit or cleave.
  • It can be reduced only by flat reductions (e.g. magical damage barrier).
  • Since it is considered bonus attack damage, it is not affected by percentage-based attack damage bonuses or reductions.

• Does not work against buildings, but works against wards and allied units.

• Adds an average of 24 magical damage to every attack.

• Pierce uses pseudo-random distribution.

• Attacks which proc Pierce cannot miss.

Trivia
