Izsha acts as a parasite living within Kerrigan's Leviathan. Her purpose is to aid Kerrigan with her goals by providing tactical advice and planning, as well as storing key information given to her.
Izsha is a unique melee support hero, in that she is immobile while surfaced above ground. Her mounting ability is replaced with Burrow, which allows her to pull herself back underground to move unseen throughout the battlefield.
Much like Abathur, Izsha does not engage in direct combat, and instead utilizes her potent parasites to both aid her allies and harm her enemies. Her main role is healing as a supportive hero.
Combat Trait
1
Brood Worms
10 sec cooldown
A Brood Worm erupts from the ground near Izsha peridically and moves down the nearest lane for 20 sec. Brood worms will infest the first enemy they attack, burrowing inside them. Infested enemies are revealed, and take X damage per second for 10 seconds. If an enemy dies while infested, two Brood Worms will spawn and begin moving down the nearest lane for 20 sec.
Notes: A Brood Worm's health functions similarly to the coin chests on Blackheart's Bay, or Murky's pufferfish. They are killed in just one attack, but if they damage an enemy, that enemy becomes infested, and the worm will be consumed after attacking.
Primary Abilities
1
Q - Regenerative Parasite
3 Charges - 10 sec cooldown - 30 range
Infest an allied unit with a parasite. The parasite heals the target for X every sec and is used in combination with other abilities. Parasites last for 10 seconds and can stack up to three times on the same target, increasing the duration.
2
W - Parasitic Frenzy
16 sec cooldown - 30 Range
The parasites in your targetted allied hero, minion, or mercenary release adrenaline into their host for 3 seconds, increasing the parasite's healing effect by 100% and the movement speed of the host by 20%.
3
E - Consume
3 sec cooldown - 30 range
Order your Brood Worms in the targetted enemy to consume their host. Instantly kills minions to spawn 2 Brood Worms, or causes heroes to instantly suffer the full duration of the Brood Worm's damage over time, removing the effect in the process. If the hero is killed by this damage, two Brood Worms will spawn from them.
Heroic Abilities
1
R - Infestation Pool
90 sec cooldown - Unlimited Range
A large, infested pool erupts from the ground at the target location for 5 seconds. Allied units standing in the pool are infested with a Regenerative Parasite every second. Enemy units standing in the pool are infested with Brood Worms every second.
2
R - Leviathan
90 sec cooldown - Unlimited Range
Call down a powerful Zerg Leviathan at the targeted visible location. The Leviathan will drop two zergling pods below it every second , each containing 2 zergling that will move down the nearest lane and attack enemies. The Leviathan lasts 10 sec, and zerglings last 20 sec.
Special Mount
1
Burrow
1 sec cast time
Izsha is completely immobile while above ground, and can only move while burrowed. Being burrowed makes Izsha more difficult to detect. Izsha can not use any abilities or spawn Brood Worms until she surfaces.
