Lachdanan

By:
Last Updated:

As a Cursed Knight, Lachdanan toes the line between retaining his humanity and fighting with honor, or succumbing to his cursed self and fighting with bloodlust.

Most of the time he's a warrior, but prolonged fights cause him to lose his durability and became a high-risk assassin, perfect for cleaning up after a team fight. He has a hard time becoming cursed in the early game, but his level 7 talents let him curse himself easier.

While in his Uncursed Form, Lachdanan has very high self-sustain, to quickly recover from the self-damage he takes in his Cursed Form.

HP: 2260
Armor: 20 (0 when in Cursed Form)
Attack: 106 (186 when in Cursed Form)
Attack Speed: 0.9/sec

Effective HP when in Uncursed Form is 2,712, about 60 more HP than Chen.
His DPS in Cursed Form is 167, about 10 more than Thrall.

Combat Trait

Cursed

When in combat, Lachdanan gains 5 curse a second, up to 100. Lachdanan does not generate curse if there are no enemy heroes nearby. When not in combat, or if no enemy heroes are nearby, Lachdanan loses 5 curse a second instead.

When he reaches maximum curse, Lachdanan enters his Cursed Form, causing him to deal a bonus 80+4% damage per autoattack, and have a different set of abilities, but he loses his 20 armor and loses 1.5% of his current (not max) HP on every attack.

While in Cursed Form, Lachdanan loses 5 curse a second, doubled when out of combat. Lachdanan's CDs do not reset upon switching forms.
(i.e if he uses Brave Thrust, then 1 second later becomes Cursed, Disembowel will still be on a 7 second CD)

Primary Abilities

Brave Thrust

Lachdanan thrusts forwards after a 0.2 second delay, dealing 140+4% damage to the nearest enemy hit, and stunning them for 0.5 seconds. This is a very narrow linear AoE skillshot.

CD: 8 seconds

Valiant Charge

CD: 11 seconds

Secondary Abilities

Disembowel

Lachdanan thrusts forward after a 0.2 second delay. Enemies hit take 140+4% damage as well as a further 140+4% damage over 5 seconds. In addition, they are slowed by 20% for the duration. This is a very narrow linear AoE skillshot.

Bloodthirsty Cry
