Cydaea

By:
Last Updated:

Cydaea is a hero defined by her incredibly strong Mount ability that lets her practically be wherever she wants. By rappelling upwards, she can travel across the map without being seen, faster than a hero with a default mount, and while travel is not instantaneous she is also not limited by a CD like heroes with a global mount.

Cydaea lacks attack damage, and isn't as durable as a warrior, but has very strong utility and crowd control. She's certainly tricky to play, but her short CD ultimates can be used to turn teamfights in your favor.

HP: 1870+4%
Attack Damage: 107+4%
Attack Speed: 0.95 (Ranged)

Combat Trait

Rappel

Cydaea uses a special mount.

Primary Abilities

Weave Shot

Throw a linear skillshot forwards. If it hits an enemy they are slowed by 30% for 1 seconds. If you are still holding the Q key when the duration ends, they are pulled to you. You can move while holding the Q key in this way.

Deals 87+4% damage.

If the skillshot hits terrain instead of a hero, you will be dragged to the terrain after 1 seconds if you are holding the Q key.

CD: 7 seconds Mana: 60

Web Wall

Throw a slow moving orb forwards. If it collides with something, it explodes, dealing 66+4% damage in a short 140 degree cone facing whatever it hit, and silencing everyone it hits for 1.5 seconds.

In addition, if the orb takes damage mid-flight, it explodes and creates a wall of blocking terrain, facing the source of the damage, that also destroys projectiles. The wall lasts for 5 seconds, and can be destroyed by reactivating this ability.

CD: 14 seconds. Mana: 70

Net Toss

Cydaea throws a large web a short distance away, dealing 103+5% damage, and slowing targets for 40% as long as they remain on the web. The web lasts 2.5 seconds

CD: 11 seconds Mana: 80

Secondary Abilities

Scouting Web

Level 1 Talent:

Only usable while mounted. Creates a large web at a target location. All enemies in the web are revealed until they leave the web. The web lasts for 45 seconds.

(Functionally, this is exactly like an untargetable Scouting Drone that also reveals invisible units and sees over terrain)

CD: 45 seconds, holds up to 2 charges.

Heroic Abilities

Abduct

Can only use while mounted.

Cydaea quickly descends on the target hero, and lifts them up, removing them from combat for 4.5 seconds. During this time they can move at 50% hero speed and can't be seen by your team. Does not end your mount.

CD: 45 seconds Mana: 100

Succubus Decoy

Target yourself or an allied hero. They are cleansed of CC, and enter stealth for 3 seconds, unrevealable for the first second, and a decoy is created at their current location that continues to attack nearby enemies, albeit for no damage. The decoy appears as a succubus to your team. The succubus has the same attack range and speed as the targeted hero.

Decoy has 100% of the target's current health.

CD: 35 seconds Mana: 90

Special Mount

Rappel

Cydaea channels for 2 seconds, interruptible by taking damage, then rappels upwards. While rappelled, she moves 40% faster, is invisible and untargetable to enemy heroes, and can move over terrain. Unlike Medivh, who has a similar ability, she cannot dismount by casting spells.

Dismounting has a 1.5 second animation. Cydaea can only take damage once the animation ends.

CD: 4 seconds
