The Ghost is a saving support hero. Their toolkit includes the ability Flicker, which is a soft dispel and a way to disjoint projectile based abilities. Their second ability, Distraction, is a team fight spell that strips opponents of their ability to find targets. Their third ability allows them to play the map better with better vision, but beware as enemies can see the lantern as well. Their... View more

TYPE active

DAMAGE none

TARGET MODE none

The lantern that the Ghost carries offers a sense of comfort for those surrounding them, as well as a way to ward off the darkness. Toggle this ability to rapidly gain vision of the surrounding area, but also grants enemies vision of you if they are within a certain radius. Enemies will only spot your position in a 100 radius. This ability has bonus at night. ? Enemies will spot you if Ghost's field of view is within any enemy vision. There will be a 100 unit radius circle around Ghost.

TARGET MODE unit

The Ghost latches on to a target ally, becoming untargetable by spells or attacks for the duration or until the ally dies. While they are latched, Flicker now affects the ally and can be channeled for up to 1/2/3 seconds. In addition, whenever the ally suffers a attack, the Ghost makes 1/2/3 Distraction jumps for a reduced taunt duration. Finally, toggling Lantern Bearer on will mark all real enemies from illusions and invisibility.

- Does not reveal invisible enemies but allows you to trace their location - Does not protect Ghost from AoE magic damage. + Can cast Flicker while doing Distraction jumps. + Distraction Jumps can be interrupted, but does not pull Ghost out of ult.

SAY YOUR THOUGHTS

Datfizh commented 3 years ago

Man, 0 Agility on Tiny can work well because the game doesn't rely too much on Increased Attack Speed or Armor the Agility provides as oppose to health on Strength or Mana on Intelligence. Your hero is pretty much food for Axe or Ancient Apparition once they hit level 6. Some players may not think to counter solely a support hero but free armor bonus on Axe is something players would take into consideration.

joel replied 3 years ago

What if i swapped the innate ability, causing him to lose mana first before losing HP? That would solve the AA probelm. It also allows him to buy like several fluffy hats to prevent axe from one-shot him as well

Datfizh replied 3 years ago

Well, that can be good measure. I'm sorry if I looked rude on my previous comment.
