Volkath’s Abilities
Passive: Doom Lord Passive
Whenever an adversary receives damage, it leaves a Doom Mark. When a mark reaches four stacks, it explodes, dealing 200 (+110% of bonus AD) physical damage (which increases by 100 with each level) and 200 (+100% of AD) shield for three seconds (which has an 8-second cooldown).
Skill 1: Death Sweep
Deals adjacent opponents 350/400/450/500/550/600 (+130% of additional AD) in physical damage. targets with Dark Mark are dealt an extra 40% damage and are stunned for one second.
Skill 2: Excrution
Deals 260/280/300/320/340/360 (+60% of bonus AD) physical damage, temporarily slows the victim, leaves a dark mark on them for 5 seconds, and also gives them eyesight.
Recast this spell when there is at least one Dark Mark on the target to charge it, dealing 400/450/500/550/600/650 physical damage (+110% bonus of AD) plus 16% of lost HP.
The cooldown is immediately reset if this ability successfully kills the marked target.
Skill 3: Ultima
Volkath eliminates all self-control effects and enters an 8-second Overload state with a 5/10/15% damage reduction bonus. When active, his regular attacks deal opponents in a circle 20 (+100% of AD) physical damage.
To push back nearby opponents while causing 300/450/600 (+160% of bonus AD) physical damage and taking on Volkath’s Doom Lord form for 3.5 seconds, use the ability once more. Volkath increases his attack speed to 80%, his movement speed to 30%, and he becomes invulnerable while in Doom Lord form. When he leaves the Doom Lord form, 25% of his maximum HP are recovered.
When Volkath is in Overload, every time one of his regular attacks hits an opponent hero, he gets 1 Dark Might, up to a maximum of 3 stacks. The lifespan of Doom Lord is increased by 0.5 seconds for each stack of Dark Might.
