Dark Willow

Notes:

• The visual effects and the sound during the 0.5-second bramble spawn delay are only visible and audible to allies.

• The projectile launched upon cast has only cosmetic purposes, and does not affect the delay.

• The brambles are always placed in the same formation.
  • 4 brambles are placed 200 range away from the center of the target area, towards north, east, south, and west.
  • 4 brambles are placed 500 range away from the center of the target area, towards north-east, south-east, south-west, and north-west.
  • The brambles spawn in 0.075-second intervals, starting 0.5 seconds after cast, so it takes 1.025 seconds for all brambles to spawn.
  • The inner circle spawns first, starting with the east bramble, going counter-clockwise. The outer circle starts with the north-east bramble.

• Each bramble is inactive for 0.1 seconds after spawning.

• A bramble roots the first enemy unit which comes within 90 range of it, after which it then disappears.
  • The brambles require no vision and can hit invisible enemies, or enemies in the Fog of War.
  • Does not provide True Sight over rooted enemies.

• Deals 60/53.33/50/48 damage in 0.5-second intervals, starting 0.5 seconds after the buff is applied, resulting in 2/3/4/5 instances.
  • Can deal a total of 120/160/200/240 damage to the target (before reductions).

• The brambles’ duration starts after the initial creation delay. This means the last bramble disappears 16.025 seconds after cast.

• Multiple instances of the debuff fully stack. Each bramble places its own independent debuff.

• Leveling the ability up while there are other active brambles does not update the root duration.

Notes:

• Does not interrupt channeling abilities upon cast.

• Shadow Realm disjoints projectiles upon cast.

• During Shadow Realm, Dark Willow is phased, attack immune and unselectable.

• Due to the unselectability, almost every ability treats Dark Willow as if she were invisible, except the following abilities:

• When cast while attacking an enemy, Dark Willow is ordered to stop, so that the attack out of Shadow Realm is not wasted.
  • However, when she is given an attack order (A) while outside attack range, casting Shadow Realm while she moves does not stop her from attacking immediately.

• Casting abilities or items during Shadow Realm does not end it, only attacking does.

• The Shadow Realm buff is lost upon launching an attack. Upon launch, Dark Willow gets the attack logic buff, which is responsible for the damage.
  • This buff disappears upon hitting the target, or within 3 seconds, whichever is shorter.
  • This means if the projectile flies for more than 3 seconds, the damage is not applied.
  • The buff responsible for the damage is lost on death, so when dying before projectile hit negates the damage.
  • The buff only works for the attack that created it. Any other projectiles launched afterwards do not apply the bonus damage.
  • With Aghanim’s Scepter, attacking no longer ends Shadow Realm, and each attack launched applies the Shadow Realm damage.

• The damage increases by 0.77/1.54/2.31/3.09 on each server tick, reaching its maximum in 3.5 seconds.

• The damage stops growing as soon as the attack is launched. It does not continue to grow while flying towards the target.

• The damage is dealt in a separate instance and is not added to Dark Willow’s attack damage.

• The bonus damage of Shadow Realm does not work against buildings and wards, but works on allies.

Notes:

• The sound and visual effect during the delay on the target is audible and visible to everyone.
  • The visual effect indicates the area to be affected on each second.

• Turning invulnerable or hidden does not prevent the debuff from affecting the area around the target.

Notes:

• Leveling this ability automatically levels Terrorize as well.

• Interrupts Dark Willow’s channeling abilities upon cast.

• While active, Terrorize is inactive and cannot be cast.

• Bedlam is inactive during Terrorize’s cast time, and stays inactive until Jex fully returns to Dark Willow after terrorizing enemies.

• On cast, Jex always appears on the west side and rotates clockwise around Dark Willow.

• Jex rotates around Dark Willow at a speed of 698.13, taking 1.8 seconds to finish a revolution.
  • This results in 2.78 revolutions over the whole duration.

• On each attack, Jex chooses a visible random target within range. There are no priorities. Does not attack buildings or wards.
  • The attack radius is centered on Jex. A light pink glow surrounds it, indicating the attack area.
  • Jex continues attacking even when Dark Willow is disabled. It stops only when she dies, or when expiring.
  • Jex’ attacks are not regular attacks. They are treated like an ability, and thus do not interact with any on attack effects.
  • This means that both spell damage amplification and spell lifesteal does work with it. Dark Willow is the damage source.
  • The attack projectiles traveling at a speed of 1400.

• With its 0.25-second attack rate, it can attack up to 20 times.

• Recasting Bedlam before the previous cast finishes refreshes the duration.

• The ability itself provides no vision, but Jex has 600 ground vision which he provides for the duration.

Notes:

• Leveling this ability automatically levels Bedlam as well.

• Terrorize is inactive during Bedlam.

• Terrorize is also inactive during its cast time, and stays inactive until Jex fully returns to Dark Willow after terrorizing enemies.
  • This means Terrorize cannot be cast again until Jex returned from a previous cast.

• Jex travels to the target point at a speed of 2000, and returns to Dark Willow at a speed of 600.

• The visual effect at the target area during the cast time/effect delay is visible to allies only. The sound is audible to everyone.

• Applies fear on all hit enemies within the radius, forcing them to run towards their team’s Fountain, while preventing them from acting.
  • When hitting neutral creeps, they retreat to their camps instead.

• Provides shared vision over all hit enemies for its duration. Affects invisible units, but does not provide True Sight.

• The ability itself provides no vision, but Jex has 600 ground vision which he provides during the duration.
