Leshrac, the Tormented Soul, is a ranged intelligence hero who is known for his ability to put out a tremendous amount of area magical damage. His array of spells makes him a dangerous foe to stand around, as he can disable and nuke down anyone who dares to stand against him. Split Earth is an area stun that, after a delay, will stun all enemies in its radius while dealing damage. Diabolic Edict is a damage-over-time spell that deals physical damage, corroding all enemies near Leshrac. Unlike most other spells, it can also affect buildings, making Leshrac a very powerful tower killer who can push very effectively. Lightning Storm is a targeted nuke that damages and slows enemies as it jumps from foe to foe, easily clearing away creeps. His ultimate, Pulse Nova, deals magical damage in an area around Leshrac while it is active, making short work of nearby enemies. Few can withstand Leshrac's damage output, as all of his spells combined allow him to scour his foes from the battlefield.

Bio[edit]
Leshrac, the Tormented Soul▶️ "Imbalance demands it."
Lore:
Leshrac, Tormented Soul, is an entity torn from the heart of nature, a liminal being that exists half in one plane of existence, half in another. His penetrating intelligence is such that he can never ignore for a moment the agonizing horror at the heart of all creation. Once a great philosopher who sought the meaning of existence, he plumbed the depths of nature with the haunted Chronoptic Crystals, and was forever altered by the hideous mysteries thereby revealed to him. Now the darkest depths of his enlightenment are illumined only by the fitful glare of his arrogance. Like other elemental characters, he is completely at one with nature, but in his case it is a nature lurid and vile. He alone sees the evil truth of reality, and has no use for those who believe the cosmos reserves a special reward for those who practice benevolence.

Duration: 10
22 95/Modifiers
modifier_leshrac_diabolic_edict: Dispellable with death only.Chronoptic energy bursts from one plane to the other, evaporating anything it touches.
Notes:
- The radius is always centered at Leshrac's current position, not at the cast location.
- Randomly selects nearby valid units for each explosion. There are no priorities.
- Fully affects invisible units and units in the Fog of War.
- When no valid targets are nearby, the explosions randomly appear within a square with 500 side length. These random explosions deal no damage.
- Creates explosions in 0.25 ( 0.14) second intervals, starting immediately as the spell is cast, resulting in 40 ( 70) explosions.
- Buildings take 11.2/28/44.8/61.6 damage per explosion.
- Can deal up to 320/800/1280/1760 ( 560/1400/2240/3080) damage to a single unit, or 448/1120/1792/2464 ( 784/1960/3136/4312) damage to a single building (before reductions).

Attempts to damage if enemy turns spell immune during the delay. Slow persists if debuff was placed before spell immunity and when not dispelled.
Blocked fully only when primary target.Modifiers
modifier_leshrac_lightning_storm_scepter_thinker: Undispellable. Persists death. modifier_leshrac_lightning_storm: Undispellable. Persists death. modifier_leshrac_lightning_storm_slow: Dispellable with any dispel.The Tormented Soul's mastery of the elements is evident in the massive storms that strike down armies before him.
Notes:
- The lightning hits the initial target after the 0.25 second effect delay and then jumps to other targets in 0.25 second intervals, so hitting all targets takes 1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds.
- Because of the effect delay, the initial lightning can be avoided with spell immunity, invulnerability, or becoming hidden. However, this does not prevent it from jumping.
- Does not bounce on invisible units, or units in the Fog of War.
- Can never hit the same unit twice per cast.
- All jumps together can deal up to 360/780/1360/2100 ( 1060/1830/2760/3850) damage (before reductions).
- Lightning Storm first applies the damage, then the debuff.
- The Lightning Storm buff is a hidden buff required for the lightning to jump.
Pulse Nova
Cast Animation: 0+0
Damage Radius: 475
Lightning Storm Radius: 0 (
750)
750)Lightning Storm Recharge Time: 0 ( 1.5)
1.5)Mana Cost per Second: 20/40/60

While Pulse Nova is active, Lightning Storm will hit one random unit in a radius every 1.5 seconds.Modifiers
modifier_leshrac_pulse_nova: Dispellable with death only.If necessary, the Tormented Soul can manipulate space time itself, ravaging lesser beings.
Notes:
- Pulse Nova does not interrupt Leshrac's channeling spells upon toggling.
- Deals damage in 1 second intervals, starting immediately upon toggling the spell on.
- Drains mana in the same intervals, so activating it basically costs 90 mana.
- However, when having less than 90 mana and toggling it on, it will still deal 1 damage instance and then toggle itself off.
- Fully affects invisible units and units in the Fog of War.
- When having Aghanim's Scepter, a single bolt of Lightning Storm strikes a random unit.
- Once a strike happens, the effect has to recharge for 1.5 seconds. This recharge time cannot be altered.
- The single bolt of Lightning Storm does not strike invisible units or units hidden in the Fog of War.
- Prioritizes heroes (including illusions and clones, excluding creep-heroes) over other units.
- In Ability Draft, Lightning Storm must be drafted as well for this upgrade to work.

Recommended items[edit]
Starting items:
- Tango sustains health to stay in lane.

- Observer Ward establishes vision of enemy movements, saving your team from getting ganked or planning your own.
- Null Talisman gives intelligence to use abilities as well as some damage to last hit.

- Magic Stick gives burst health and mana to help frail Leshrac use abilities.

- Kaya boosts intelligence and spell damage of Leshrac, while decreases mana cost of abilites and items so Leshrac can use them more often.
Late game:
- Octarine Core raises health and mana for sustainability. Cooldown Reduction and Spell Lifesteal allows Leshrac to constantly use abilities while keeping himself healthy. However, you may need a large mana pool or regeneration to make the most out of this item.
- Shiva's Guard enhances Leshrac's survivability against physical attacks with armor and attack speed slow aura, while also increasing his intelligence. Use Arctic Blast to slow enemy movement speed and keep them within range of Pulse Nova.
Situational items:

- Phase Boots grants great movement speed boost to position, as well as chase or flee with Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova.

- Blink Dagger grants exceptional positioning for surprise Split Earth, also useful to keep up with targets of Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova.
- Force Staff grants ability to reposition any heroes in the game, pushing allies to favorable locations while moving enemies into your abilities.

- Guardian Greaves restores health and mana to allies, while removing debuffs from Leshrac that may hinder his abilities; furthermore, the aura armor and health regeneration works better on heroes at low HP.
Gameplay[edit]
| Roles: | Carry Support Nuker Pusher Disabler |
|---|---|
| Complexity: | ★☆☆ |
| Playstyle: | Once a worldly philosopher, the hideous truth at the heart of existence twisted Leshrac into the vile being he is today. The Split Earth beneath his hooves opens to consume the unsuspecting, while Lightning Storms strike down entire fields of foes. He pronounces a Diabolic Edict, saturating the air with bouts of magical explosions. Warping the structure of spacetime, Leshrac emits a continuous Pulse Nova, disintegrating nearby foes without ever lifting a finger. |

Trivia[edit]
- The name Leshrac comes from a Planeswalker from the Magic: the Gathering multiverse.
- Diabolic Edict is the name of an iconic black card in that game; much like the Dota 2 spell, the Magic card was more effective when there were fewer targets, as your opponent got to choose which target got hit.
