After a short delay, summons two scorching Hellhounds at target location, stunning and damaging enemies in a radius around the spawn point. They move very fast but have low damage and health. Each hound has an autocast ability that causes their next attack to deal 100% more damage and disarm the enemy, with a 10 second cooldown and at 0 manacost.

Summons a two headed, eight legged, magma spitting hell horse with a passive that grants bonus movespeed to allied units in a great area around it. The ability can be recast on the steed to cause Moltro to mount it, combining them into one unit with both units attacks, but with the steeds HP. Moltro gains bonus cast range while on the Hellsteed. If the steed times out or dies while Moltro is mounted, it grants him the movespeed aura bonus for 5 seconds.

Ruins the targeted enemies mental fortitude, dealing pure damage per second and slowing them based on the number of Moltros summons in a radius around them.

TARGET MODE none

Hellscaping is a family business, and Moltro lets his brothers in on the action. Summons two flaming brothers with passive auras that grant Moltros summons and allied heroes bonus damage. The auras are independent of eachother and stack. The brothers are ranged units with Moltros stats that deal a portion of Moltros attack damage, take extra damage from all sources, and can mount a Hellsteed if it is summoned.

TARGET MODE unit

Brands the targeted ally, dealing damage to them and applying lifesteal and attack bonuses based on whether they are melee or ranged. Melee heroes gain cleave, and ranged heroes gain bonus attack range. When cast on Moltros summons these effects are increased by 50% and the cooldown is halved. Allied damage from Bestow cannot be lethal.

Hellfiend Giant

TYPE active

DAMAGE magical

TARGET MODE area

Granted with Aghanims Scepter. Creates a pool of bubbling magma that damages and slows enemies. After 5 seconds a Hellfiend Giant arises from the lava, slow moving, but adept at destroying buildings. The giant has 2 passives; Molten Aura causes him and allied units in a radius around him to deal bonus magic damage on all attacks against buildings. The giant benefits from this passive more than any other units. Carapace Aura causes Moltros other summons and the giant to gain bonus HP in a radius around it.

ITEM & SKILL BUILDS

Optimized item & skill guides for Moltro, the Hellscaper.

Overwhelming Teamfighter

offlaner

Could play very similarly to Lycan and Chen offlane- a steroid item (Drums, Assault Cuirass, Solar Crest) and defensive aura (Vlads, Pipe, Crimson Guard) will make you and your many summons very formidable teamfighters at low gold cost and very early into the game. Primary goal here is to quickly snowball off winning forced and chaotic mid-game fights into killing towers and taking Roshan, with heavy one-lane pushing for an early game end.

View Full Guide

Tower Split-Pusher

mid laner

Alternatively, an early Agh's Scepter and an escape item (Shadow Blade, BKB) with Boots of Travel can make for an extremely effective tower pusher and map splitter. Could play very similarly to Lone Druid or Nature's Prophet, with emphasis on your hero leaving the scene of the crime while your many units destroy towers and racks over the course of a long game, forcing the opponent to save their buildings, or to kill you and try to push with creep disadvantage.

View Full Guide

Damage Combo Support

soft support

The support build plays off of the Agh's Shard and casting Torment as frequently as possible with as many allied heroes and summons in the radius. Crippling items (Diffusal, Atos) and a buff item for allies that are focusing your target (Solar Crest, Drums) make you extremely adept at single target takedowns. Reach items (Lens, Force Staff) are important to help you chase down escaping enemies, and reach further from safety in teamfights. Refresher can double the amount of damage your Torment casts deal, and Spirit Vessel works in combination with the pure damage from offensive Bestow casts to quickly melt tanks.

Very cool post

frenky commented 3 years ago

Cool summon-based concept. Really playing around the summons in an interesting way. Really reminds me of the scrapped Summoner hero from early dota mixed a bit with Warlock.
