Lilith is a Healer who excels at enabling allied Heroes to remain aggressive for extended periods of time. Unlike many Healers, her strongest healing isn't immediately available; it becomes more effective as her allies keep fighting and generate Sin. While she has consistent healing through Blood Petals, Lilith is strongest when her team stays committed to a fight rather than disengaging.

Much of Lilith's kit revolves around Sin, a temporary resource placed on allied Heroes. While affected, allies generate additional Sin by damaging enemy Heroes, and higher Sin increases the effectiveness of Lilith's main heal, Beautiful in Sin, and many of her talent options. Blood Petals, spawned through her W, Petal Pustule, or through her teleport, Rush of Blood, provide another way to sustain her allies, letting Lilith create healing zones that gradually increase the Sin of those who collect them and help allies start stacking.

Lilith's main priority is deciding when her allies should keep fighting and when they need protection from the consequences of doing so. Her trait, Mother's Embrace, allows her to completely protect an allied Hero from danger, either rescuing them from an enemy attack or can use her teleport, Rush of Blood, to carry them directly into the enemy team to initiate. Her goal is to encourage her allies to stay aggressive long enough to build Sin, sustain them while they do so, and use Mother's Embrace to either save them when that aggression becomes dangerous or create an opportunity to engage safely.

+ Strengths

+ Excellent sustained healing in prolonged teamfights.
+ Exceptional ally rescue, repositioning and initiation.
+ Empowers aggressive allied Heroes.

- Weaknesses

- Fragile when caught without cooldowns.
- Relies on allies buffing themselves.
- Limited crowd control and burst healing.

Combat Trait

Mother's Embrace (Trait)

Active:
Cooldown: 70 seconds

Lilith flies a short distance to a target allied Hero and wraps them with her wings in a protective shield, placing them both in Stasis. Both herself and her target gain Invulnerability for up to 3 seconds. Can be reactivated to end the effect early.

During Mother's Embrace, Lilith is able to use Rush of Blood, taking the Invulnerable ally with her, and ending the effect.

Primary Abilities

Beautiful in Sin (Q)

Cost: 40 Mana
Cooldown: 8 seconds

Heal an allied Hero for 160 (+4% per level) and grant them and Lilith 5 stacks of Sin. After 3 seconds, all allied Heroes near Lilith heal for 18 (+4% per level) per stack of Sin they have.

Sin: Allied Heroes affected by Sin gain 2 additional stacks when they damage an enemy Hero, up to a maximum of 20. This can occur once every 0.5 seconds. Sin lasts for 6 seconds, and its duration is not reset on additional applications.

Petal Pustule (W)

Cost: 40 Mana
Cooldown: 11 seconds

After 0.25 seconds, launch a pulsing projectile forwards. Reactivating this ability causes the projectile to detonate, dealing 205 (+4% per level) damage over 4 seconds to nearby enemies and leaving behind a Petal Pustule for up to 5 seconds.

Every second, Pustules launch a Blood Petal towards the lowest-health nearby allied Hero. The Petals last for up to 5 seconds and are consumed by allied Heroes who walk over them, healing them for 112 (+4% per level) over 4 seconds and granting 1 stack of Sin. Blood Petal healing does not stack, with each additional Petal consumed increasing the heal duration by 3 seconds, up to a maximum of 9 seconds.

Rush of Blood (E)

Cost: 50 Mana
Cooldown: 14 seconds

Transform into a bolt of blood, which dashes quickly in the target direction, leaving a trail of 3 Blood Petal in your wake. The Petals are consumed by allied Heroes who walk over them, healing them for 112 (+4% per level) over 4 seconds and granting 1 stack of Sin. Blood Petal healing does not stack, with each additional Petal consumed increasing the heal duration by 3 seconds, up to a maximum of 9 seconds.

Petals left from Rush of Blood expire when this ability is cast again.
