Templar Assassin abilities

Refraction

Templar Assassin becomes highly elusive, gaining a small barrier and bonus to her damage. The damage and avoidance effects are separate, and have a limited number of instances. If a barrier is consumed, a new one is created as long as there are charges left. If an instance of damage would deal more damage than the remaining barrier, all of the damage is absorbed.

Aghanim's Shard: Increases bonus damage. Refraction can be cast while disabled.

Meld

Templar Assassin conceals herself, becoming invisible as long as she remains still. If Meld's invisibility is broken by attacking an enemy, Lanaya's attack will deal bonus damage to the enemy and reduce their armor for 6 seconds. Bonus damage and debuffs from Meld are applied to all enemies in the Psi Blades split range.

Psi Blades

Templar Assassin's psi blades slice through the attacked unit, splitting and damaging enemy units directly behind it, while gaining bonus attack range. For each unit it damages, the split damage is reduced by a percentage.

Psionic Projection

CHANNELED - Allows Templar Assassin to teleport to any Psionic Trap after channeling for 2 seconds, detonating it upon arrival as if it was fully charged and instantly dealing 400 bonus damage. Channeling Psionic Projection does not break Meld.

Psionic Trap

Templar Assassin places mystical traps that invisibly monitor enemy movement. When sprung at her command, they exert a slowing influence of 20% in a 400 radius. Trap movement slow charges up to 50% after 3.5 seconds. Deals damage after 3.5s.

Aghanim's Scepter: When activated, traps now silence affected enemies.

Inner Peace

When remaining stationary and not taking damage for 0.2s, Templar Assassin begins meditating, gaining health and mana regeneration, reaching the maximum bonus after 1.85s of meditating.

Peppering the battlefield with slowing traps, Templar Assassin hides invisibly, ready to ambush her prey. Once she springs her attack, she shreds enemies with piercing psionic blades, and deflects counterattacks with her refracting shield.
