Andariel

Maiden of Anguish

Andariel is a squishy burst mage, vulnerable to being focused. The main differences between her and other burst-mages are that her autoattacks actually deal decent damage (albeit only in melee combat) and most of her damage is dealt in the form of DoTs. Andariel benefits strongly from CC, but doesn't have reliable CC of her own. Like most mages, Andariel needs to be wary about her mana. Andariel benefits from CC, but doesn't have reliable CC of her own.


HP: 1450
ATK: 120
ATK/Sec: 0.9
If you're in melee combat with an enemy hero though that's usually a bad sign.

Trait: Suffering. Andariel deals more damage to CC'd opponents. In addition her basic attacks deal DoT.

Q: Poison Dart. Andariel fires a skillshot that deals more damage to targets that are taking DoT, or have recently been damaged by Andariel.

W: Noxious Burst. Delayed AoE skillshot that has 2 charges, and applies a DoT, as well as a slow to proc your trait.

E: Malevolent Cloud. Slow moving but large skillshot that quickly deals damage to enemies inside it and cant stun if they stay in it long enough.

R1: Anguish. Andariel poisons all enemies she's recently damaged, including from her DoTs.

R2: Killer Sting. Andariel puts a foe in stasis, damaging them, healing herself, and restoring mana while channeling.

Combat Trait

1
Suffering
Andariel's basic attacks deal a bonus 100+4% damage over 5 seconds. This does not stack with itself.

Andariel deals 40% more damage to targets affected by any form of crowd control not caused by the source of damage. Andariel's Damage over Time effects retain the bonus damage even after the CC ends.

(i.e Noxious Burst deals 240 damage and slows, with no bonus damage, but Toxic Dart will deal 40% bonus damage to a target slowed by Noxious Burst. If an enemy is stunned while taking damage from Noxious Burst, the remaining damage from Noxious Burst will be increased)

Primary Abilities

1
Toxic Dart
Andariel fires a dart. On impact, it deals 140+4% damage. If the enemy has taken damage from Andariel or any DoTs (including ones not from Andariel) in the past 1 second, it deals an additional 90+4% damage.

CD: 4 seconds, 50 mana
2
Noxious Burst
Andariel marks an area with medium range. After a 1 second delay, it explodes, dealing 240+4% damage to all targets in it over 4 seconds, and slowing by 20%. DoT from this ability stacks between separate casts.

CD: 10 seconds, holds 2 charges. 60 mana.
3
Malevolent Cloud
Andariel fires a cloud forward. It travels very slowly (about 75% the speed of an Arcane Orb) but expands as it moves, travelling for a total of 4 seconds. Enemies that enter the AoE take 288+4% damage every second, doing a damage tick every 0.0625 seconds. If they take 1 second worth of damage ticks, they are stunned for 1 second.

CD: 14 seconds, 70 mana

Killer Sting
Lunge at a nearby target (roughly twice the range of a melee attack), then lift them up in the air with your stingers, making them untargetable. Channel for up to 3 seconds, dealing 380+4% (543 if affected by CC) damage to them for the duration. In addition to healing for 100% of the damage done, regain 50% of your mana during the channel.
