Andariel

The Maiden of Anguish

"Andariel was the only female Evil. She aided the Lesser Evils for many years, but eventually she lost faith in their plots. Two decades ago, she chose to help Diablo during his resurgence and seized the Citadel of the Sightless Eye. Ultimately, she perished at the hands of brave heroes."

— Deckard Cain, writing on Andariel

(((Author's note: I highlighted balance targets in purple text. Further, I am assuming standard +4%/level growth of health, mana, and all damage statistics; numbers are given for Level 1.)))
(((Author's note: Work in progress. Also, she might actually be a bruiser.)))

Combat Trait

1
Maiden of Anguish
Andariel thrives on her enemies distress. Her basic attacks and basic abilities inflict stacks of Anguish on enemy Heroes. Anguish stacks up to 10 times, and decays over time; enemies lose one stack of Anguish every 4 seconds. Anguish fuels Andariel's basic and Heroic abilities.

Primary Abilities

Pain Lash
Mana: 40
Cooldown: 6s (0.5s per charge)
Range: 3 (Single target)
Charges: 3

Andariel lashes out with her claws, causing panic and striking down her enemies. The target is inflicted with Anguish. Then, Pain Lash deals 40 damage to the target, plus an additional 8 damage for each stack of Anguish on the target.

Toxic Spray
Mana: 75
Cooldown: 12s
Range: 2 (AoE, 90 degree cone cone)

Andariel exhales a cone of deadly vapors over an area, poisoning anyone caught in the cloud. Poisoned enemies take 30 damage every 0.5s for 3s and are inflicted with Anguish with each tick.

Vicious Claws
Mana: 65
Cooldown: 18s
Range: 4 + 1 (skillshot plus AoE)

Heroic Abilities

1
Existential Feast
Mana: 85
Cooldown: 150s
Range: 5 (AoE, centered on Andariel)

Andariel feeds on the anguish of her foes. After a 0.25s delay, Andariel's wrath bursts forth, dealing 90 damage and inflicting Anguish on all enemy Heroes nearby. Then, after another 0.25s delay, she consumes all stacks of Anguish on enemy heroes in the area. For each stack of Anguish consumed, each enemy takes 15 damage. If Andariel consumed at least 10 stacks of Anguish, they are also slowed by 50% for 2s. If she consumed at least 20 stacks of Anguish, they are blinded and silenced for 2s.

Dismember
Mana: 85
