Modifiers
Buff or Debuff, based on the target`s alliance Disruption: Undispellable.
The pain of deception comes not while it happens, but when it is revealed.

Notes:

  • The targeted unit`s position is not shuffled with the possible illusion`s position. It always reappears between the 2 illusions.
  • The illusions carry the caster`s name, not the targeted unit`s player name, revealing that they are illusions when not cast on self.
  • Can be cast on illusions, creating illusions based on the original hero.
  • When the targeted unit dies during Disruption, no illusions are created.
  • The -disablehelp command prevents an allied Shadow Demon from casting this spell on you.

Search Radius: 450
Total Damage Amplification: 20%/30%/40%/50%
Duration: 12
Cooldown symbol.png 13/12/11/10 (Talent 7/6/5/4)
Mana symbol.png 50/60/70/80
Does not pierce spell immunity. Damage amplification persists if debuff was placed before spell immunity.
Modifiers
Debuff Soul Catcher: Dispellable with any dispel.
Trying to resist the Shadow Demon`s corruption is mostly a useless endeavor.

Notes:

  • Upon cast, all enemy units within the targeted area receive a debuff, which causes them to take increased damage.
    • The amount of increased damage is split evenly amongs all debuffed unit. The values are set upon cast and do not adapt if any of the targets lose the debuff prematurely.
  • Amplifies all 3 damage types, including self-inflicted damage and damage dealt by allies.
  • Successive casts on the same target do not stack, but refresh the duration, and update the amplification value based on how many units were hit by the new cast.

Magical
Deals damage in a line, and afflicts enemy units with a poison effect. The poison deals 1/2/4/8/16 times the stack damage based on the number of stacks on the target, up to 5 stacks. Additional stacks cause 50 damage each. This deferred damage is dealt when Shadow Poison`s duration is expired, or the Release sub-ability is used.
Cast Animation: 0.25+0

Does not pierce spell immunity. Attempts to deal damage if enemy turns spell immune before the poison is released.
Modifiers
Debuff Shadow Poison: Dispellable with any dispel.
The ever growing influence of the Shadow Demon can pollute the most valiant and pure of heroes.

Notes:

  • Shadow Poison travels at a speed of 1000 and always travels the full distance, which takes 1.5 seconds.
  • Can hit units up to 1690 (Talent 1765) range away (travel distance + effect radius).
  • Deals the initial damage instantly and adds 1 stack to all enemy units within 190 radius of it on each cast.
  • Successive hits on the same units fully refresh the whole stack`s duration.
  • The first 5 stacks multiply the stack damage by 1/2/4/8/16 depending on the amount of stacks, up to five.
  • Every following stack adds 50 damage on top of that, so the damage starts growing linearly after the 5th stack.
  • This is how much damage 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8 stacks can deal on each level (ignoring the initial damage):
    • Level 1: 20/40/80/160/320/370/420/470 damage
    • Level 2: 35/70/140/280/560/610/660/710 damage
    • Level 3: 50/100/200/400/800/850/900/950 damage
    • Level 4: 65/130/260/520/1040/1090/1140/1190 damage
  • The damage is dealt as soon as the Shadow Poison debuff is removed, no matter how.
  • The current number of stacks is visible to Shadow Demon and his allies above the affected units. Enemies cannot see it.
    • This number is visually capped at 19, be that as it may, the poison has no stack limit and can be stacked infinitely.
    • The current number of stacks is also shown on the debuff icon, which is visible to everyone.
  • The projectile provides 200 radius flying vision as it travels. This vision does not last.

Notes:

  • Shadow Poison Release is unlocked upon learning Shadow Poison and stays always active.
  • The cast of Release Shadow Poison is not registered as a spell cast and thus does not proc any on-cast effects.

Purges the target enemy unit, removing positive buffs, and slowing the target for the duration. The unit slowly regains its movement speed until the end of the duration, upon which damage is dealt. Units under the effect of Disruption can still be affected by Demonic Purge.
Cast Animation: 0.3+0.6
Cast Range: 800 (Talent 875)
Damage Attack damage is the amount of damage a unit is dealing with an unmodified basic attack; the base values are different for every hero. The total attack damage of a unit is the sum of dota2 : 200/300/400 (Talent 600/700/800)

Mana symbol.png 200
Upgradable by Aghanim`s Scepter. Cooldown is removed, replaced with 3 charges that replenish every 40 seconds. Also causes Demonic Purge to break its target`s passive abilities while active.
Blocked by Linken`s Sphere. Still loses a charge when blocked while upgraded.
Modifiers
Buff Demonic Purge Charge Counter: Undispellable.
Debuff Demonic Purge Slow: Undispellable.
Debuff Rooted: Dispellable with any dispel.
Once Shadow Demon no longer has any need for his collected cultist, he releases it from its subservience - and its life.

Notes:

  • Applies a basic dispel on the target upon cast. The damage is applied at the end of the duration.
  • The debuffs from multiple casts work fully independently from each other.
  • The damage can affect a unit under the effect of the most recent Disruption cast by Shadow Demon.
  • The slow decreases over 5/3/2 intervals, meaning it decreases every 1/1.67/2.5 seconds.
  • This is how much Demonic Purge slows on each interval and level:
    • Level 1: 100%/80%/60%/40%/20%
    • Level 2: 100%/66.67%/33.33%
    • Level 3: 100%/50%
  • When cast on non-hero units, it roots the target for the initial 3 seconds, preventing it from moving and casting certain mobility spells.
    • The slow is still applied to the target, so that it still is slowed for the remaining duration once the root wears off.
    • Does not interrupt the target`s channeling spells.
    • Does not provide True Sight over the target.
  • Can be cast on couriers, treating them as non-hero units.

Recommended items

Starting items:

  • Iron Branches provide cheap stats, and can later be built into a Magic Wand.
  • A set of Tangoes is useful for health regeneration early in the game. A Tango from the set can also be shared with the team`s carry, allowing them to stay longer in the lane.
  • If Shadow Demon takes significant burst damage, a Healing Salve allows him to quickly get back into action.
  • Animal Courier and a couple of Observer Ward, and Sentry Wards as needed as Shadow Demon is mostly played as a heavy support.

Early game:

  • A Magic Stick and Ironwood Branches can be upgraded into a Magic Wand, freeing up inventory space for additional core items.
  • Boots of Speed give Shadow Demon the mobility he needs for ganking and escaping.
  • Don`t hesitate to get a Smoke of Deceit as a way to get closer to your enemy for your disruption. You`ll be lucky to catch an enemy on whom you have an actual kill potential if you simply walk up to him.

Core items:

Situational Items:

  • Pipe of Insight gives very good health regeneration. More importantly, it allows Shadow Demon to cast a magic-resistant shield on nearby allies, extending their longevity in teamfights.
  • Shiva`s Guard will give an additional area-of-effect slow if the one provided by Demonic Purge is insufficient. The Freezing Aura, increased armor, and provided intelligence give Shadow Demon greatly increased sustainability in teamfights.
  • Necronomicon summons useful minions for pushing towers as well as focusing Soul Catcher`s affected target. The strength and intelligence that come with it are an additional boon. Necronomicon`s lvl 3 Warrior also has true sight, which is really helpful if enemies have invisible heroes.
  • Mekansm Burst health regen and armor, if used correctly can instantly turn the tide of teamfights in your favor. It also upgrades into the costly Guardian Greaves.
  • Ghost Scepter provides another defense mechanism that is quite often needed against right-clickers such as Phantom Assassin however it may not be a viable pick against heroes that tend to get a Diffusal Blade.
  • Eul`s Scepter of Divinity is a similar decent choice, as it gives you an extra purge to work with, which can help remove a

Among the sovereign Demons with explicit access to this world, Doom scarcely bothers with the affairs of Noninfernals and Lesser Spectral Consorts, while Shadow Fiend passes through almost exclusively on collecting expeditions.
