Razor the Lightning Revenant is a ranged position-based agility tank/carry that employs his abilities to deal massive damage in a relatively short amount of time, chase down the fleeing injured with his speed, and inflict debuffs on more powerful foes. Razor prefers to keep his position or kite his enemies allowing his spells to unleash its full potential. Known for being one of the Anti-carry heroes, Razor specializes in using his opponent's own powers against them, draining them of their damage and using it to smite them, as well as damaging, slowing, and purging them of buffs should they dare cast a spell on him. His ultimate, Eye of the Storm, further enhances his carry-killing powers by inflicting constant, armor-shattering, lightning strikes on the foe with the lowest HP within a 500 radius. For those who rely on their pure brute force alone to fight, there is truly no escape from the Underscape.

Bio

Razor, the Lightning Revenant

▶️ "I bring my lightning whip not to punish souls, but only to hasten them toward the inevitable exit."

Lore:

Among the emblematic powers that populate the Underscape, Razor the Lightning Revenant is one of the most feared. With his whip of lightning, he patrols the Narrow Maze, that treacherous webwork of passages by which the souls of the dead are sorted according to their own innate intelligence, cunning and persistence. Drifting above the Maze, Razor looks down on the baffled souls below, and delivers jolts of scalding electricity that both punish and quicken the souls as they decide their own fates, hurrying on toward luminous exits or endlessly dark pits. Razor is the eternal embodiment of a dominating power, abstract and almost clinical in his application of power. Yet he has a lordly air that suggests he takes a sardonic satisfaction in his work.

The Lightning Revenant rules the Underscape with plasmatic power.

• Plasma Field has an instant cast time, but interrupts channeling spells.

• Plasma Field expands and retracts with a speed of 636.

• The damage is divided into 2 instances. One instance is applied while expanding, and the other one whiler retracting. Both instances can hit a unit only once each.

• Plasma Field's damaging area is actually a 200 radius ring, which is right infront of the actual visible ring.

• This means that upon cast, it instantly will damage units within 200 radius and can hit units up to 900 range away.

• So upon expanding, the damage hits 200 range before the visible ring hits, and upon retracting, the damage hits after the ring passed the units already.

• Plasma Field is centered on and follows Razor.

• Plasma Field provides 700 radius flying vision, following Razor and leaving a trail of vision which lasts 2 seconds.

• Static Link provides shared vision with the target while draining.

• Static Link drains damage in 1 second intervals, starting 1 second after linking.

Ride the lightning.

• Always targets the unit with the lowest current health in range as first.

• The armor reduction debuff on units lasts as long as long as the storm, or until Razor dies.

• Eye of the Storm strikes first deal their damage and then apply the armor reduction.

• Eye of the Storm does not affect Roshan, invisible units and units in the Fog of War.

• Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eye of the Storm does not lower the armor of buildings.

• Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eye of the Storm always prioritizes units over buildings.

• Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eye of the Storm does not affect subsidiary buildings and Tombstone.

• Eye of the Storm can strike up to 42/50/60 (50/60/75) times and deal up to 1600/2500/3700 (1600/2500/4687*) damage to a single unit when all strikes hit.

• When Razor turns invisible, the whole storm and its strike turn invisible aswell, but still striking on nearby enemies without them seeing or hearing it.

• Eye of the Storm immediately ends when Razor dies.

Tips

• Consider Phase Boots instead of Power Treads, as they allow you to keep in tether range of Static Link.
• Yasha is a strong item to get after the core as it works well with Unstable Current and further increases the movement speed of Razor plus it grants you the opportunity to upgrade it into either the Manta Style or the Sange and Yasha based on different situations.
• Plasma Field can be manipulated by moving Razor around, since it centers around him. This can help you position yourself so that Plasma Field can hit right at its maximum range. This ability does significant damage, so in lane it can be used to harass and force your opponents out of lane at the cost of pushing the lane. If your lane is warded, this can often times be worth it.
• Razor has very few escape mechanisms, but can be deceptively durable with Unstable Current if focused.
• Eye of the Storm damages the lowest health enemy close to him, making this ability very weak near creep waves. Try to save the ultimate for isolated team fights, or use Plasma Field to clear the creep wave quickly to focus the damage on heroes.
• Static Link will not be purged if Razor's target becomes magic immune during the drain.
• Shadow Blade is an excellent item on Razor because the invisibility will conceal the particles for Static Link and Eye of the Storm, concealing Razor's position.
• Refresher Orb allows two instances of Eye of the Storm to be active at the same time, allowing for extreme DPS and armor reduction.
  • Combined with Aghanim's Scepter, this can deal twice the damage to buildings.
• Generally in the early game, its best to pick up Static Link as it can boost your survivability by lowering enemy damage as well as allow you to create a noticeable difference in you and your opponents last hitting power. This allows you to dominate the last hitting stage of the lane and keep your enemies in check.
• When laning against a single opponent, you can easily zone your opponent out of last hits by using Static Link on them then standing in or behind their creep wave. This forces them to do one of a few things: fight you, walk away to break the link and prevent the damage steal, or let you steal all of their damage. This capability makes Razor a solid choice for mid lane.
• Static Link will also stay applied to the hero Brewmaster when using Primal Split, and will continue to sap damage from the Earth Spirit.

Trivia

• Razor's alternate/fun name was Gillette, which is also the name of a reputable brand of shaving razors.
• As Razor moves, sometimes he says "Ride the Lightning", which is also the name of Metallica's album and song (which references execution via electric chair).
• One of Razor's quotes upon picking up Aegis of the Immortal is "There is a lightning that never goes out" which is a reference to a song "There is a light that never goes out" by The Smiths.
• All of Razor's skills except Unholy Aura have been changed since his introduction. His first skill used to be Frenzy, which gave him an attack speed boost, second was Chain Lightning and his ultimate was a passive Stormseeker which dealt damage to enemies near him every few seconds.
