Tips and Tricks
A limited field of vision is provided by the Stroke projectile both during travel and at its destination.
When you cast Phantom’s Embrace on a target that has Soulbind active, it is the only one whose cooldown will be refreshed. Cast it on the foe that has a lower chance of putting the ghost to death.
The faster Ink Swell hits the maximum stun duration, the more heroes being hurt by its tendrils.
A siege creep that has been cast Phantom’s Embrace will immediately stop attacking the tower and begin catapulting the Phantom.
Grimstroke’s Ability
STROKE OF FATE
With his brush, Grimstroke creates an ink path that harms and immobilizes foes. With each adversary that the ink touches, the damage increases.
PHANTOM’S EMBRACE
Summons a phantom that races over to the target and, when she gets there, latches onto it. The ghost harms and silences once it latches. If she makes it through the whole latch duration, she rends her victim for significant damage and resets the cooldown for Phantom’s Embrace.
The phantom counts each of the hero’s attacks as three.
INK SWELL
A unit that is allied with Grimstroke has its movement speed accelerated. The allied unit gradually inflicts damage with inky tendrils on any enemies within range. It provides damage and stun in accordance to how long ink tendril was near any hero in a region around the unit after 5.0 seconds or when manually triggered.
DARK PORTRAIT
Sreates a target enemy hero’s illusion in ink. Illusion has a bonus to movement speed and attack damage, is resistant to debuffs, and has a magic resistance of 95%.
