Enemy Max Health as Damage/Lifesteal&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

• This ability got reworked into the current Feast in the 7.23 gameplay patch.

• Cannot damage and lifesteal off of wards, buildings, Roshan and allied units.

• The damage is directly added to Lifestealer's attack damage. It can be reduced with e.g. Static Link and also be increased with e.g. Empower.

• On top of the skill's own lifesteal, Lifestealer additionally can lifesteal the damage dealt by this ability with other sources of lifesteal. It also can crit or cleave.

• The heal is fully independent from the bonus damage dealt, meaning it always heals for the full amount, regardless of how much damage Feast did to the target.

&&&

N'aix attacks sting, adding a slight poison-based damage and significantly slowing movement speed.

• Debuffs of successive attacks do not stack, but refresh the duration instead.

Lifestealer infests the body of a target unit, becoming undetectable inside. He can then explode from the host body, dealing damage to nearby enemies. If the infested unit is an enemy creep or a neutral creep, he can take control of the unit's ability to move and attack, and when consumed the creep will heal Lifestealer's health equal to the creep's current health. Does not work on enemy heroes.

• This ability got reworked into the current Infest in the 7.23 gameplay patch.

• Applies a basic dispel on Lifestealer and disjoints projectiles upon cast.
  • This basic dispel removes buffs as well, and not only debuffs.

• Lifestealer is invulnerable and hidden during Infest.

• Lifestealer still gains experience and gold during Infest.

• During Infest, all three spells of Lifestealer are turned inactive, Infest is replaced by Consume, and Lua error in Module:Ability_ID at line 61: Could not find Cargo data for "Control". is added.

• During Infest, Lifestealer is periodically moved to the host's current position. This affects multiple things such as:
  • When Infest ends (be it via Consume, or the host dies), Lifestealer appears at the host's location.
  • Every aura Lifestealer has (including Gem of True Sight and Radiance) affects units around the host.
  • Effects which react on heroes' presence, such as Smoke of Deceit, Marksmanship or Blur, react on the host's presence.
  • Relocate forces Lifestealer out of the infested unit, dealing area damage.
  • Holy Persuasion gets dispelled as soon as Lifestealer casts Infest.

• Can be cast on, but cannot take control over allied heroes and allied creep-heroes.

• When on level 2 or higher, can be cast on and take control over ancient creeps.

• Cannot be cast on Roshan, couriers, wards, buildings, enemy heroes and enemy creep-heroes.

• The infested unit receives the Infest Effect modifier, which creates the visual effect above it, visible to allies only.

• Once purchased, Lifestealer cannot drop or sell his Aghanim's Scepter.

&&&

Lifestealer seizes control of the host body's nervous system, allowing him to issue movement and attack orders from within. Controlled units share Lifestealer's movement speed. Cannot be used on heroes.

• This ability got removed in the 7.23 gameplay patch.

• Appears when Infest is cast and stays until Lifestealer gets out of the host.

• Cannot take control over heroes, creep-heroes and units already owned by Lifestealer. All other infestable units can be controlled.

• When the host cannot be controlled, this spell is inactive.

• Upon cast, Lifestealer gets de-selected and the infested unit gets selected automatically.

• The unit also gains the Consume ability, allowing Lifestealer to consume it from the unit's HUD. It disappears when the unit's ownership changes again.

• Unlike other dominating spells, Control does not applies any dispel on the target.

• Fully restores the unit's mana upon cast. Its health stays unaffected.

• Constantly sets the unit's movement speed to Lifestealer's current movement speed, regardless of its default movement speed.

• If the infested unit was an ally of the opposing team, it still appears as an ally to them after taking control over it.
  • However, since its ownership changes to that of Lifestealer's, they can attack it by ordering it. It is not automatically attacked.

• Control can take over a unit only once per host. This means if an enemy takes over it with another dominating spell, Control cannot take it back.

&&&

Lifestealer eats the host body from the inside out, exploding from within.

• Does not kill or harm an allied unit (except for lane creeps) that Lifestealer has infested, unless Control was used.

• The damage is applied instantly in the area.

• When not taking control over the creep, Consume's legacy hotkey is T. When using Control, it changes and is different based on the controlled creep.

&&&

The Lifestealer tears its way into the unfortunate body of a target unit, laying dormant and undetectable inside its living frame until he is ready to consume it and come to form. Regains health from the infested unit.
