Modifiers

[external_link offset=2]

modifier_dagon: Dispellable with death only.

Notes:

  • Places a debuff on the target, which applies the damage upon expiring. The debuff lasts 0 seconds.
    • Due to server tick rates, the debuff effectively lasts 0.033 seconds. A true 0 second duration for modifiers is not possible.
    • This means the damage can be avoided by being invulnerable or hidden as the debuff expires.
  • Instantly kills regular illusions, regardless of any status effects, except for Shallow Grave.

Recommended Heroes[]

  • Tempest Double grants a second cast of Energy Burst to quickly kill enemies.

  • He can reduce the cooldown of the Dagon by 50% with his ultimate.

  • The damage from Energy Burst can easily bring an enemy into the kill threshold of Reaper’s Scythe.

  • Rearm resets Energy Burst’s cooldown for constant damage output.

  • Using Energy Burst on an enemy affected by Maledict will cause severe burst damage from the latter.

Others[]

  • Ganking heroes can use Dagon for an additional burst of damage to help secure kills.
  • Heroes that can reduce the magic resistance:
  • Nukers that want additional burst damage:
  • Heroes that lack burst damage:

Tips[]

  • Most heroes have 25% magic resistance by default, causing Energy Burst to deal 300/375/450/525/600 damage to them, considering no other sources of reduction or amplification.
  • Powerful against high armored enemies, damage block and evasion.

Trivia[]
