Ability

Affects
Enemies

Your attacks reduce the target's armor by 2 for 8 seconds.

Armor Reduction: 2

Duration: 8

Modifiers

Blight Stone Buff: Dispellable with any dispel.

Notes:

• Successive attacks with Blight Stone do not stack the debuff, but refresh the duration instead.

• The attacks first apply the debuff, then their own damage.

• Works against wards and buildings, but does not work against allied units.

• Fully stacks with the Corruption of Desolator.

Recommended heroes

Bounty Hunter

• Shadow Walk helps Bounty Hunter get close enough to debuff targets with Blight Stone, and increases the damage from Jinada. Support Bounty Hunters can also build it into a Medallion of Courage later.

Phantom Assassin

• Blight Stone helps Phantom Assassin get last hits in the early game. She can upgrade it later into a Desolator.

Slardar

• Blight Stone's armor reduction stacks well with Corrosive Haze.

Vengeful Spirit

• Blight Stone's armor reduction stacks well with Wave of Terror, and builds into Medallion of Courage, a common item for Vengeful Spirit.

Others

• Heroes who intend to build a Desolator can pick up Blight Stone in the early game:
  • Weaver
  • Sniper
  • Legion Commander
  • Lifestealer
  • Windranger
  • Clinkz
  • Mirana
  • Templar Assassin
  • Wraith King
  • Tusk
  • Nature's Prophet
  • Viper

Tips

• Blight Stone is ideal for a ranged support or ranged carry to harass lanes during the early game.
• Blight Stone is stronger if you can take advantage of how its armor reduction boosts all physical damage the target receives, such as that of your laning partner, lane creeps, or summoned units. It is less effective in more straightforward 1 vs 1 scenarios.
• Blight Stone is useful for pushing towers early on, especially when used in tandem with the armor aura from Ring of Basilius and the assistance of additional allies.
