Muerta abilities

Dead Shot

Muerta fires a ghostly trickshot at an enemy unit or tree. When the bullet strikes, it damages and briefly slows, then ricochets in the targeted direction. The ricochet damages all units that it passes through, stopping when it hits a hero. Heroes hit by the ricochet are feared away from the impact.

Aghanim's Scepter: Dead Shot damage is increased. Dead Shot expands after it ricochets and pierces through enemy heroes as it fears them.

The Calling

Summons a group of 4 revenants that slowly circle the targeted location. Enemies within the area are slowed. Revenants deal damage and silence enemies as they pass through them.

Gunslinger

Toggleable. When toggled on, Muerta's attacks have a chance to fire a second shot at another target.

Spectral Slug

Muerta shoots a spectral bullet at an enemy, dealing damage, knocking them back, and turning them ethereal for 3s - rendering them immune to physical damage and unable to attack. The target is slowed and -20% more vulnerable to magic damage. Enemies will not be knocked out of Muerta's attack range.

Pierce the Veil

Muerta transforms, becoming ethereal, gaining bonus base damage and phased movement. Passively allows Muerta to always attack ethereal targets and attack when she is ethereal. When either she or her target is ethereal, all of her attack damage is dealt as magical damage and her physical lifesteal is treated as spell lifesteal. DISPEL TYPE: Basic Dispel

Aghanim's Shard: Muerta gains %spell_lifesteal%% Spell Lifesteal during Pierce the Veil. While Pierce the Veil is active Muerta permanently gains %spell_amp_steal%% spell amplification each time she kills an enemy Hero or they die in her vicinity. Bonus applies retroactively.

Supernatural

Whenever an enemy hero dies within 925 units of Muerta, she gains a stack of 1% spell amplification. When Muerta dies she loses half the stacks, rounded down.

Biography

There are as many stories about Muerta as there are graves in the Carrion Fields of Gorm. Some tell their children ghost stories of a young peasant girl returned from the dead to punish the bandits who killed her family. Others, drunk in dark taverns, slur conspiracy theories about kidnappings and phantom guilds of killers. One constant bleeds through every tale: of a woman so consumed by hate for those who killed her that she refused to die. And of Death, so impressed by whatever hate-filled engine that drove this woman that he gave her Mercy and Grace — twin ethereal pistols — and made her his second in command. Now she hunts down wayward souls whose last grains have tumbled from their hourglass, and drags them kicking and screaming to their eternal reward.
