Lana'thel by MrBr0s

Level 1

Predatory Instincts

Hitting an enemy Hero with Queen's Bite increases the healing from Basic Attacks against the target to 50% for 2.5 seconds. Basic Attacks against the target refresh the duration.

Passive: Increase Attack Speed by 20%.

Mistress of Pain

Every 4th time Blood Pact deals damage to a linked enemy Hero, its cooldown is reduced by 0.5 seconds and Lana'thel gains 50 Physical Armor against the next Heroic Basic Attack. Stacks up to 4 times.

Notes:
- The effect is triggered independently on each linked Hero; normal behavior would grant 2 stacks every 2 seconds

Rending Gust

Hitting an enemy Hero with Crimson Winds deals an additional 60 damage over 6 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. Dealing damage to the target from any other source consumes the effect, healing Lana'thel for 3% of her maximum Health per stack.

Notes:
- All stacks on the target are consumed at once
- The heal is not triggered on expiration of the damage-over-time effect

Level 4

Blood Trail

Enemy Heroes damaged by Queen's Bite lose 10 Armor and leave behind a blood trail for 3.5 seconds, increasing Lana'thel's Movement Speed by 30% for 2 seconds whenever she touches it.

Radius: 0.75

Notes:
- The trail behaves in the same way as Stitches's Putrid Bile ultimate

Curse of Frailty

Crimson Winds deals 30% more damage to Heroes affected by Blood Pact and pushes them 50% further.

Crippling Gale

Damaging the same enemy Hero with Crimson Winds 2 times in a single cast Stuns them for 0.75 seconds and increases the damage and range of Lana'thel's next Basic Attack by 75%.

Notes:
- The damage bonus does not stack, but it can be triggered again on an other target from the same cast after being consumed

Level 7

Death's Veil

Curse of the San'layn grants 1 Spell Armor for every 2.5% of Health missing, up to a maximum of 30. Whenever Lana'thel's Health drops under 25%, she gains 40 Armor for 4 seconds. This can happen once every 30 seconds.

Notes:
- Death's Veil ignores any other effects that affect Curse of the San'layn.
- The Armor bonus overwrites the Spell Armor bonus for its duration

Queen's Gift

Using Queen' Bite on an allied Hero causes its cooldown to recharge 100% faster for 6 seconds. Increase the duration of Essence of the Blood Queen by 3 seconds and grant 60% of Blood Pact's healing to affected allied Heroes.

Power Drain

Heroes affected by Blood Pact deal 15% less damage and heal Lana'thel for 15% of the damage dealt by their Basic Attacks. Overhealing from Power Drain is turned into a Shield for 5 seconds.

Notes:
- The Shields stack, but their duration cannot be refreshed; each instance of overhealing grants an independent Shield

Level 13

Undying Resolve

!Quest: Basic Attack enemy Heroes 12 times.

!Reward: Whenever Lana'thel' Health drops under 25%, she becomes Unstoppable for 2 seconds and gains 30% Basic Attack damage for 5 seconds. This resets the quest's progress.

Passive: Reduce the damage reduction of Curse of the San'layn to 0.45% per 1% of missing Health.

Death's Breath

Using Queen's Bite on a Hero grants Essence of the Blood Queen to Lana'thel. Hitting an enemy Hero with a Basic Attack or Queen's Bite reduces their healing received by 8% for 2 seconds, up to 40%.

Notes:
- The healing from the Queen's Gift talent does not affect Lana'thel

Shadow Weaving

Basic Attacks against Slowed Heroes deal an additional 25 Spell Damage, reduce the cooldown of Crimson Winds by 0.5 seconds, and stop any Slow decay.

Passive: Increase Basic Attack range by 100%.

Notes:
- Stops the decay of any decaying Slow, even those applied by other Units.

Level 16

Twin Fangs

Queen's Bite gains an additional charge, and its range is increased by 30%. Using Queen's Bite on an enemy Hero beyond its base range deals an additional 100 damage around the target after 1.5 seconds.

Radius: 2.5

Impending Doom

Increase Blood Pact's link damage by 12.5% for every second it remains active, up to 50%. Upon reaching 50% increased damage, the linked Heroes instantly take damage equal to 9% of their maximum Health.

Crimson Storm

Crimson Winds sends a 3rd gust in a straight line. If all 3 gusts hit the same enemy Hero, Lana'thel gains 15 Spell Power for 14 seconds, stacking up to 2 times.

Notes:
- The 3rd gust has the same range
- The Spell Power bonus can be gained once per cast

Level 20

Essence Collector

Shiphoning Orb remains stationary for 4 seconds after reaching its destination, and then explodes an additional time.

Prey on the Weak

Vampiric Feast deals an additional 15% of the target's missing Health as damage when it ends, and its cooldown is reduced to 15 seconds if they die within 1.5 seconds.

Soulbound

Blood Pact's initial curse lasts indefinetly and cannot be escaped, but the link deals 50% less damage if activated after 8 seconds.

Unquenchable Thirst

Active
Cooldown: 50 seconds

Activate to reverse the damage reduction of Curse of the San'layn for 6 seconds.

2.0

It has been 2 years since I last worked on this concept. The following changes are the result of a major rework and redesign of Lana'thel's abilities and talents.

BASE

Basic Attack:
Basic Attack damage increased from 95 to 120.
Attack Speed reduced from 1.25 to 1.10.

Curse of the San'layn (D):
Damage reduction reduced from 0.7% to 0.6%.
Additional functionality: Basic Attacks heal Lana'thel for 35% of the damage done.

Queen's Bite (Q):
Cooldown reduced from 7 to 6 seconds.
Damage reduced from 175 to 150.
Healing reduced from 350 to 150.
Essence of the Blood Queen damage bonus reduced from 15% to 10%.
Additional functionality: The healing is doubled against Heroes. Deals 50% less damage when used on allied Heroes. Cannot be used on allies that are under 15% Health.

Blood Pact (W):
Damage increased from 110 to 130.
Curse duration reduced from 8 to 7 seconds.
Damage per tick reduced from 55 to 50.
Healing increased from 20 to 24.
The initial curse can now be removed by being too far from the target.

Crimson Winds (E):
Completely changed.
Renamed from Delirious Slash to Crimson Winds.
Old functionality: Slash at enemies in an arc, dealing 55 damage instantly and an additionnal 175 damage over 5 seconds. Using Queen's Bite on an enemy affected by Delirious Slash increases its duration by 3 seconds.
New functionality: Send 2 gusts of wind to the target location, each dealing 80 damage and Slowing enemies hit by 50%, decaying over 2.5 seconds. The gusts merge and travel back to Lana'thel after reaching their destination, dealing 170 damage and pulling enemy Heroes.

Author's Note:
Lana'thel was supposed to be a front line bruiser from the start, but other than Blood Pact, which forced at least some repositioning from enemy Heroes, she didn't have any abilities that gave her an intimidating presence in fights. Crimson Winds, with its slow and knockback mechanics, is a tool that makes her feel more oppressive and that plays well with her Blood Pact by giving her a creative way of potentially moving targets away from one another.

Vampiric Feast (R):
Mana cost increased from 60 to 70.
Cooldown increased from 70 to 80 seconds.
Healing reduced from 300% of the damage done to 200% of the damage done.
Now has a cast time of 0.5 seconds.
Now a dash that affects the first enemy Hero hit.
