Venomous Gale
A concoction of various stings, poisons, and toxins gathered from the jungles of Jidi Isle, victims surviving it are rare.

  • Modified values: None.
  • The gale travels at a speed of 1200, taking 0.71 seconds to reach max distance.
  • Can hit units up to 975 (Talent 1125) range away (travel distance + radius).
  • The slow decreases over time. Hit units regain 1% of their movement speed in 0.3 second intervals, starting immediately as the buff is applied.
  • A unit with less than 25% of its maximum health can be denied when it has the Venomous Gale debuff on.
  • After the initial damage, it deals damage over time in 3 second intervals, resulting in overall 6 damage instances.
  • Venomous Gale can deal up to 75/250/425/600 damage to a single unit (before reductions).
  • The debuff from successive casts does not stack, only the duration gets refreshed.
    • Does not stack with Venomous Gale icon Scourge Gale either.
    • Venomous Gale's debuff takes priority.

A mixture of his old herbalist talents and newfound toxic mastery creates a living embodiment of plague.

  • Modified values: None.
  • Plague Wards automatically attack enemies within their attack range, using default auto-attack rules.
    • It is possible to manually give the wards an attack target by just right-clicking an enemy in range.
    • It is also possible to stop the wards from attacking by ordering them to stop (only works when the auto-attack option is turned off).
  • Plague Wards' attacks apply Poison Sting on enemies. The debuff stacks with that of Venomancer's own attacks, but their effects do not stack.
    • This means that wards place a separate Poison Sting debuff on attacked enemies and do not refresh the debuff from Venomancer's attacks.
    • However, the debuff placed by a ward is muted (does not damage or slow) if the enemy is also affected by Venomancer's debuff.
  • The damage source of the wards' Poison Sting is set to be Venomancer, not the wards themselves.
  • Plague Wards have a lower target priority than units and heroes, so they are attacked by towers and lane creeps last.


Scourge Ward
Unknown icon

Physical
Summons a scourge ward to attack enemy units and structures. The ward is immune to magic. Scourge Wards can use a less powerful version of Venomous Gale, and the level is equivalent to the level of Venomancer's Venomous Gale.

  • Scourge Wards automatically attack enemies within their attack range, using default auto-attack rules.

In the Acid Jungles, creatures releasing noxious poison to their attackers is common; Venomancer spreads this plague beyond the Jidi Isle.

  • The ring expands with a speed of 500.
  • Poison Nova can hit units up to 830 range away (575 travel distance + 255 width).
  • Despite the nova having a width, units between the ring and Venomancer still get hit, even when not within 255 width of the nova ring (such as blinking into the area some time after the spell is cast).
  • Deals damage in 1 second intervals, starting immediately as the debuff is placed, resulting in 17 instances.
  • Does not tick when affected units turn spell immune, so that Blink Dagger icon Blink Dagger is not disabled.
  • Poison Nova can never kill a unit. It does not drop affected units below 1 health from its damage ticks.
  • Can deal up to 510/935/1360 (Upgradable by Aghanim's Scepter. 1020/1445/1870) damage to a single unit (before reductions).
