Lifestealer abilities
Rage
Launch into a maddened rage, becoming Debuff Immune, increasing magic resistance and gaining movement speed. DISPEL TYPE: Basic Dispel
Open Wounds
Lifestealer rends an enemy unit, slowing the victim's movement speed and allowing all allies to regain health for a percentage of the damage they deal to that unit. The victim recovers movement speed over the duration.
Feast
Lifestealer's attacks deal damage and provide heal for a percentage of his target's max health. He gains permanent max HP whenever he kills a unit.
Ghoul Frenzy
Passively grants Lifestealer Attack Speed.
Infest
Lifestealer infests the body of a target unit, becoming undetectable, and healing for a portion of his max hitpoints every second while inside. He can then explode from the host body, dealing damage to nearby enemies. If the infested unit is an enemy creep or a neutral creep, he can take control of the unit's ability to move and attack, and the creep loses a portion of their max hitpoints over time. Does not work on enemy heroes. DISPEL TYPE: Basic Dispel
Aghanim's Shard: Consuming a creep with Infest drenches enemies in blood which deals damage over time based on the host's remaining health.
Aghanim's Scepter: Increases cast range and reduces cooldown to %bonus_AbilityCooldown%s. Infest may target enemy heroes for a short duration, attacking them from the inside while increasing Lifestealer's regeneration rate.
Should Lifestealer get close to his prey, there is little that can save them. Travelling within a creep or an allied hero, once he nears a foe he explodes from his host body, surprising enemies and tearing into them with his claws.
