Io

Notes:

• Has a Break Tether sub-ability that lets Io break the tether while connected with an ally.

• Tethering a unit that is 700 units or further away causes Io to latch on and pull itself to the target.
  • Pulls Io at a speed of 1000, until coming within 300 range of the target.
  • Can pull Io over impassable terrain and through trees.
  • Destroys trees within 150 radius around Io once the pull ends.
  • If Io breaks the tether while getting pulled to the tethered target, the pull immediately stops.
  • The pull gets interrupted when Io gets stunned, hexed, hidden, feared, hypnotized, or rooted during the pull.
  • Forced Movement cancels the pull as well, but only after the movement ends, and not upon getting applied.
  • Taunts, leashes, and silences do not interrupt the pulling.
  • If the distance between Io and the target gets greater than 2150 during the pull, the pull ends and the Tether breaks.

• If the distance between Io and the target gets greater than 1000, the Tether breaks.
  • When the distance between Io and the tethered target gets greater than 700, the link’s visual appearance changes.

• The movement speed bonus is only applied to the tethered ally, while Io copies the target ally’s movement speed.
  • Sets Io’s base movement speed equal to the base speed of the target, plus any speed bonuses they have, flat and percentage.
  • This means tethering a unit that has less movement speed than Io causes Tether to reduce Io’s movement speed.
  • Since it sets Io’s base movement speed, percentage-based movement speed bonuses and slows are based on this value during Tether.
  • Fully overrides any flat movement speed bonuses and reductions on Io, from items and abilities alike.
  • If the target is slowed, the slow is not copied by Io. Tether copies the target’s movement speed as if they are not slowed.
  • Does not copy the target’s movement speed while Io is hasted.
  • While tethered, Io cannot bypass the maximum movement speed limit, even if the tethered ally does.

• If Io or the tethered unit is invisible, enemies can only see a fake link leading to the invisible unit’s last known location. If the tethered unit is visible to the enemy, enemies can still see the unit is tethered.

• The movement speed slow gets applied to every enemy that comes within approximately 55 range of the tether link on each server tick.

• With the level 25 talent, Io performs instant attacks on every enemy the tethered ally attacks.
  • These instant attacks can proc any attack modifiers and on-hit effects normally. They do not have True Strike.
  • The attacks are performed as soon as the ally launches their attack (including instant attacks from the ally). It does not matter whether the attack actually hits or not.
  • The instant attack does not trigger if Io is stunned or disarmed.
  • Does not perform attacks when the tethered target also has this talent (i.e. an illusion of Io).

• With Aghanim’s Shard, enemies are also damaged and stunned along with the movement speed slow.
  • Enemies also receive the hidden tracker modifier which lasts for 1.75 seconds, preventing enemies from getting stunned more than once every 7 seconds.
  • This modifier is affected by status resistance, so increased status resistance results in more frequent stun and damage instances.

Notes:

• Replaces Tether until the sub-ability is used or the tether is broken.

• Interrupts Io’s channeling abilities upon cast.

• Break Tether goes on a 0.25-second cooldown when Tether is cast, this is to prevent accidental double-casts and prematurely ending the ability.

Notes:

• Interrupts Io’s channeling abilities upon cast.

• 5 spirits are summoned over the course of four seconds so that the distance between each spirit is equal.
  • The first spirit is always spawned to the north of Io, with the following spirits spawning in 0.8-second intervals behind the previous spirit.
  • The spirits expand automatically to their maximum distance upon cast.
  • The spirits always rotate clockwise and are locked to Io’s location, following it wherever it goes.
  • Moving the spirits in or out does not break their formation. They always rotate in a circle and keep an equal distance from each other.

• The spirits complete a revolution every 2.7 seconds regardless of distance from Io.
  • Their angular velocity is constant, meaning their speed increases the further away they are from the caster.
  • This means the first created spirit can rotate at most 7 times around Io.

• When a non-hero unit comes within the 110 collision radius of the spirits, it takes the collision damage.

• When a hero comes within collision radius, the spirit explodes, dealing the explosion damage within a 360 radius.

• Spirits do not collide with or explode on invulnerable or hidden heroes.

• Remaining spirits explode simultaneously at the end of the duration or if recast, dealing the explosion damage around them.

• Spirits provide 150 radius flying vision for 3 seconds at the location where they collided with a hero.
  • They do not provide vision when exploding caused by expiring or recasting.

• The spirits are invisible to the enemy if Io is invisible.

• Can deal up to 150/250/350/450 ( 450/550/650/750) damage to a single unit when all spirits explode on a target (before reductions).

• Treats creep-heroes as heroes and illusions as creeps.

• With Aghanim’s Scepter, Spirits turns into a passive ability, constantly spawning spirits around Io.

Notes:

• This ability is hidden if Io does not have the spirits buff.

• Does not interrupt Io’s channeling abilities upon cast.

• Moves the spirits towards Io at a speed of 250. It takes 1.8 ( 3) seconds from moving the spirits from maximum to minimum distance.

Notes:

• This ability is hidden if Io does not have the spirits buff.

• Does not interrupt Io’s channeling abilities upon cast.

• Moves the spirits away from Io at a speed of 250. It takes 1.8 ( 3) seconds from moving the spirits from minimum to maximum distance.

Notes:

• Interrupts Io’s channeling abilities upon cast.

• Applies generic outgoing damage amplification on Io and the tethered ally. Stacks additively with other sources of generic outgoing damage manipulation.
  • The amplification affects only spell damage Io and the tethered ally deal that is not flagged as HP removal. Attack damage is not amplified.

• Io does not need to be already tethered to the target transfer the Overcharge. Tethering afterward transfers it as well.
  • The Overcharge on allies does not show a duration, and always appears like a permanent buff.

• Can regenerate up to 4%/4.8%/5.6%/6.4% of Io’s max health over the duration.
  • Can restore up to 4%/4.8%/5.6%/6.4% of the target’s max health, plus 2.8%/4.32%/6.16%/8.32% of Io’s max health on the Tethered ally.

Notes:

• ↓↓ Double-tapping automatically targets the team’s fountain.
  • ☐ Disabled Help prevents Io from relocating the tethered ally.

• If Io is rooted, stunned, slept, cycloned, or hexed during the effect delay, Relocate gets cancelled.
  • If Io is silenced as the delay finishes, the teleport does not happen.
  • Disabling the tethered ally of Io does not prevent the ally from getting teleported if Io successfully does so.
  • The returning teleportation cannot be prevented.

• Enemies get a ‼ Ping on their minimap during the teleport delay, showing them where Relocate was targeted.
  • Creates a visual effect at the targeted point during the teleport delay, which is visible to everyone.
  • Creates a visual effect at Io’s position before the teleport happens, which also is visible to everyone.

• Relocate interrupts channeling abilities and every current order of Io and the tethered ally both on initial teleport, and when teleporting back.

• Disjoints projectiles for Io upon teleporting to the targeted point, but does not disjoint upon teleporting back.
  • Does not disjoint projectiles for the teleported ally, neither upon teleporting to the target point, nor upon teleporting back.

• Io may break Tether at any time to prevent bringing an ally back.

• Can only teleport heroes, clones, illusions and creep-heroes.

• Teleports invulnerable and hidden targets.

• Destroys trees within 150 radius around Io upon both teleports.

Notes:

• This attack damage talent is added as bonus attack damage.
  • Does not benefit illusions and is not affected by most percentage-based damage increasing or reducing effects.

• The spell lifesteal talent stacks additively with other sources of spell lifesteal.
  • Heals for 3% from non-hero units. Treats creep-heroes as creeps and does not heal off of illusions.

• The health talent increases maximum health capacity, and keeps the current health percentage.
