Modifiers
modifier_spawnlord_master_stomp

  • The armor reduction is based on the affected units' base armor and armor granted by agility. Direct armor bonuses are ignored.
  • The armor reduction adapts based on how the affected units' armor changes due to agility loss or gain in 0.5 second intervals. It is not set upon placing the debuff.
  • Desecrate first applies the debuff, then the damage.
  • Multiple instances of the debuff do not stack.
  • As a neutral unit:
    • The Prowler only casts this spell when there is at least 1 or more enemy within the radius while it is attacking.
    • The enemy must be a valid target for the spell. Units which are not affected by the spell do not count.
  • As a player controlled unit:
    • No restrictions.
  • Has a cast backswing of 0.17 when cast by Doom minimap icon Doom (acquired through Talent Devour icon Devour).
  • Has a cast backswing of 1.07 when cast by Rubick minimap icon Rubick (acquired through casting Spell Steal icon Spell Steal on Doom).

modifier_spawnlord_master_freeze_root

  • Roots and disarms the target, preventing it from moving, attacking and casting certain mobility spells.
  • Deals 37.5 damage in 0.5 second intervals, starting immediately on cast, resulting in 4 damage instances.
  • Refreshing the debuff on a target does not stack. It refreshes the root duration, but not the damage.
  • The attack first applies the debuff, then its own damage.
  • The Prowler's weapon emits a purple glow whenever the ability is ready.
  • As a neutral unit:
    • Petrify is set to autocast for the Prowler, so that it gets used whenever it is ready on an attack.
  • As a player controlled unit:
    • No restrictions.
  • When acquired by Doom minimap icon Doom, it is initially on autocast as well. Cannot be stolen by Rubick minimap icon Rubick.


Trivia[]

  • This creep's internal name is Spawnlord Master.
  • According to the game files, the Prowler Shaman was supposed to have a bash ability. It had a 40% chance to stun for 1 second. It presumably got scrapped during the beta.
