Lady Vashj

The Naga Sea Witch

A mystical Hero, adept at ranged combat. These scaly denizens of the ocean have often been associated with the coming of prodigious storms, but few have actually seen them rise from the sea and lived to tell the tale.

Combat Trait

1
Mana Shield
Every enemy hit by Lady Vashj' basic attacks will be marked by a mana orb floating around them. These orbs will vanish after 10 seconds. If a enemy minion or hero dies, Lady Vashj restores 5 mana (40 for heroes).

You can activate the trait to reduce incoming damage while losing mana for each point of damage prevented that way.

Primary Abilities

1
Mind Bolt
If Mana Shield is disabled, Mind Bolt will hit the targeted unit for 50 (+20) damage, while receiving additional 20 (+5) for each unit in an area around the target that is marked by mana orbs, removing those orbs and dealing 30 (+15) damage.

If Mana Shield is enabled, every enemy around Lady Vashj gets struck by Lightning, slowing them down for 20% for 2 seconds, while every marked enemy will restore 15 mana to Lady Vashj. Removes marks.
2
Frost Arrows
Increases attack speed for 50%, while making Lady Vashj able to attack and move at the same time. Lasts 3 seconds.
3
Mana Storm
While Mana Shield is disabled, tornadoes will seek out from Lady Vashj after a short delay, hitting every marked enemy, stunning them for 0.2 seconds and dealing 70 (+25) damage.

While Mana Shield is enabled, a tornado will knock every enemy around Lady Vashj back in a circular direction, applying a mark on each enemy hit and restoring 5 mana for each enemy hit.

Heroic Abilities

1
Mana Flare
Hits an area after a short delay, strikes two times in quick succession. The first hit will mark each enemy in the area, slowing them for 30% for 2 seconds. The second strike will remove all marks from all enemies, dealing 20 (+20) damage for each marked minion and dealing 100 (+20) damage for each marked hero. Heroes are unable to use mana for the next 2 seconds.
2
Multi Shot
Enhances Lady Vashj' basic attacks, hitting the closest 5 targets in range other than the first target. Restores 5 (+1) mana per target hit. Lasts 4 seconds.

Comments & thoughts

- The Naga Sea Witch is all about mana management and applying orbs to enemies. The whole hero kit is designed to give the player more ressources to manage while also making the mana pool an important ressource.

- While your mana pool adds to your survivability, you also have to be careful not to fall into a trap to not cast spells. Therefore, each spell will effectively decrease your HP pool, giving you something to think about for each spellcast.

- Naga Sea Witch also has practically two modes: An offensive mode that adds damage and cc while mana shield is not active, making it easier to understand for newer players. While Mana Shield is active, you'll get self-peel and mana restoration in order to get tankiness on the fly.


- She can be skilled to be more disruptive in teamfights, to be a ranged carry or to have fairly high sustain with more mana restoration.

- Numbers can easily be tweaked, as it's just a blueprint of a hero design, feedback much appreciated :)
