Queen of Pain abilities

Shadow Strike

Hurls a poisoned dagger which deals large initial damage, and then deals damage over time. The poisoned unit has its movement speed slowed for 16 seconds. An instance of damage is dealt every 3 seconds.

Aghanim's Scepter: Causes Shadow Strike to become a 300 AoE Spell. When Shadow Strike ends or is re-applied to an enemy Hero, the target emits a Scream of Pain, hitting any nearby enemies.

Blink

Short distance teleportation that allows Queen of Pain to move in and out of combat.

Aghanim's Shard: Releases a sonic boom when Queen of Pain blinks, at both her starting and ending locations. Deals 125 damage in a 300 AoE and silences the target for 1.75 seconds.

Scream Of Pain

The Queen of Pain lets loose a piercing scream around her, damaging nearby enemies. 25% of the damage dealt to heroes is reflected back to her.

Succubus

All sources of Spell Lifesteal also apply to Pure Damage. Queen of Pain gains Spell Lifesteal that increases with proximity to her enemies. Lifesteal is at its maximum when the enemy is 150 units or closer to her and at its minimum when the enemy is 800 units or further from her.

Sonic Wave

Creates a gigantic wave of sound in front of Queen of Pain, dealing heavy damage to all enemy units in its wake and pushing them back.

Queen of Pain strikes without warning, destroying gathered foes with deafening screams. Should an enemy survive her onslaught, she slows their escape with a throw of her dagger before finishing them off.
