Modifiers

Notes:

• The damage from Poison Attack is flagged as HP Removal, so it does not trigger any on-damage effects.

• Successive attacks with Orb of Venom do not stack, but refresh the duration instead.

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

• When a melee and a ranged hero with Orb of Venoms attack one target, the slow of the first applied debuff is used and refreshed.

• Deals damage in 1 second intervals, starting 1 second after the debuff is applied, resulting in 3 instances.

• Can deal up to 15 damage when applied by melee heroes and 9 damage when applied by ranged heroes (before reductions).

• Does not work against wards and buildings. Works against couriers.

• The damage over time is lethal.
