Sadist

Undispellable

Sadist Counter

Any

Poor souls who succumb to Rotund'jere's plagues are recycled for future use.

• This ability got replaced by Ghost Shroud in the 7.00 gameplay patch.

• Sadist triggers on every kill Necrophos makes, including denying allied units, but excluding illusions and Tempest Doubles.

• All stacks work fully independently from each other. They do not refresh each other, but share a status buff. The number of current stacks is visible on the buff.

• Restores health and mana in the form of health and mana regeneration, so it regenerates 0.1/0.2/0.3/0.6 health and 0.2/0.4/0.6/1.2 mana in 0.1 second intervals per stack.

• Each stack can restore a total of 6/12/18/36 health and 12/24/36/72 mana.

• Hero kills add 10 stacks at once, regenerating a total of 60/120/180/360 health and 120/240/360/720 mana.

• Although the Sadist counter buff is dispellable, doing so has no effect, as it gets immediately re-applied.
