Drow Ranger

Notes:

• The cast range of Frost Arrows is based on the attack range of the caster.
  • The cast range can be further increased by other attack range bonuses. However, it is not affected by cast range bonuses.

• The bonus damage is dealt in one instance together with the attack damage, and counts as attack damage as well.

• The attacks first apply the debuff, then their own damage.

• The slow from successive casts does not stack, only the duration gets refreshed.

• Frost Arrows does not work against allied units, buildings or wards.

• With Aghanim’s Shard, attacks place one hypothermia debuff on the enemy. This debuff gets stronger when it gets refreshed with successive casts.

• If the target dies with the hypothermia debuff on them, they release projectile towards all enemies within a 650 radius around them.
  • These projectiles travel at a speed of 1300.
  • The projectiles first apply the damage, then the debuff.
  • The projectiles deal up to 60/120/180/240/300/360/420 damage, based on how many stacks the unit had.

• The bonus damage increases to the following values with certain amount of hypothermia stacks on each level:

Notes:

• With the travel distance and the effect radius, Gust reaches up to 1150 ( 1400) range away.
  • The wave travels at a speed of 2000, reaching max distance in 0.45 seconds.

• The knockback distance is based on the distance between Drow Ranger and the hit enemy. The closer they are, the further they get knocked back.
  • The knockback is strongest when the distance between Drow Ranger and the enemy is 1 range, pushing the enemy 450 range away.
  • Each additional range of distance between them affects the knockback’s distance, reducing it by 0.5.
  • However, the knockback values are truncated, so that the knockback distance decreases by 1 for every 2–2 range between Drow and the enemy.
  • Due to this, the minimum knockback distance is 1 range.
  • When standing at the exact same location as Drow Ranger, no knockback occurs, since the formula then multiplies by 0, which results in 0 knockback.

• Since the knockback distances are the same on each level, and the knockback duration increases per level, the knockback speed gets lower on each level.
  • Therefore, the maximum knockback speed is 750/642.86/562.5/500, while the minimum speed is 1.67/1.43/1.25/1.11.

• Can push units over impassable terrain. Destroys trees enemies come in contact with during the knockback.

• Units are not disabled during the knockback. They can still turn, attack and use items. Channeling items are not interrupted.

• Does not affect Roshan.

• With the level 10 talent, Gust also blinds enemies.
  • Gust’s blind uses pseudo-random distribution.

Notes:

• The arrows fly at a speed of 1200, and fly either the full distance or until hitting an enemy.
  • The speed is not affected by projectile speed increasing effects.

• Releases the waves in a 0.55-second interval. The first wave starts 0.1 seconds after channel begin.
  • Within the waves, the arrows are released with a 0.033-second delay between them, so it takes 0.1 seconds for all arrows of a wave to be released.
  • This results in a total duration of 1.3 seconds to release all arrows, making it safe to cancel the last 0.45 seconds of the channeling without losing an arrow.

• The arrows are released in a cone centered in front of Drow Ranger. The first arrow in each wave always starts on Drow Ranger’s right side.
  • The cone’s angle is calculated as if 6 arrows get released per wave. If 6 arrows would get released, the cone’s angle would be 50°.
  • However, since only 4 arrows get released, the cone’s angle is 33.33°, with an angle of 8.33° between each arrow.
  • Considering Drow Ranger’s default attack range of 625, the cone has an end radius of 358.5.

• The arrows provide 100 radius flying vision around them as they travel.

• An enemy may only be hit one arrow per wave, so that up to 3 ( 5) arrows can hit the same enemy per cast.

• Despite the appearance, Multishot does not use instant attacks.
  • The arrows deal physical spell damage, with the damage based on Drow Ranger’s average main attack damage, plus Frost Arrows‘s damage.
  • This means the arrows cannot proc any attack modifier or trigger any on-attack effects, but are affected by spell damage amplification and spell lifesteal.
  • Despite not utilizing instant attacks, Multishot does not affect attack immune units at all, unlike other sources of spell damage.

Notes:

• An icy particle effect is visible on Drow Ranger while Marksmanship is active.

• Checks for nearby enemy heroes (including invulnerable or hidden ones) in 0.1-second intervals and adapts the bonus accordingly.

• Does not react on the presence of illusions or creep-heroes.

• The aura checks Drow Ranger’s agility periodically and adapts the bonus agility instantly. Its buff lingers for 0.5 seconds.
  • The aura affects invulnerable, but not hidden allies.

• When proccing, the attack deals damage ignoring their main armor. The attack also deals extra physical damage.
  • The damage is dealt in one instance together with the attack damage, and counts as attack damage as well. It can lifesteal, but not crit.
  • Proccing attacks have True Strike.

• With Aghanim’s Scepter, causes Drow Ranger to perform instant attacks on random enemies around the primary target.
  • The splinters are regular attacks using Drow Ranger’s 1250 projectile speed and being disjointable.
  • These instant attacks can proc any attack modifiers and on-hit effects normally (including Marksmanship). They do not have True Strike.
  • However, the splinter attacks always use Drow Ranger’s default attack projectile visual.

• The splinters are only released if the primary attack successfully hits a target. This means missed or disjointed attacks do not release any splinters.
  • The splinters originate from the primary target’s location, not Drow Ranger’s location.
  • Since the splinters are independent attacks, their damage does not depend on how much damage the primary target took.
  • The damage penalty only applies to the attack damage and any bonuses. Damage dealt in separate instances is unaffected (e.g. Maelstrom).
  • Attacks do not splinter to/from invisible, invulnerable, or hidden units.
  • Attacks also do not splinter to couriers, buildings, wards, allied units or units in the Fog of War, but can splinter off of them to nearby valid targets.
  • Splinter attacks are not disabled by being within 400 range of an enemy hero.
