Tips and Tricks
You can remove neutral aggro from your wolves when jungling or roshing just like you can remove tower aggro.
When Lycan is in Shapeshift form, she has 1800 night vision.
Lycan can defeat Roshan by himself at level 7, using equipment like the Mask of Madness, Power Treads, or Medallion of Courage.
Try to schedule ganks or Roshan kills for the evenings when Lycan’s abilities are stronger and enemies’ map vision is reduced.
Lycan’s Ability
SUMMON WOLVES
Two wolves are called to battle for Lycan. Permanent Invisibility is a feature of level 3–4 wolves, and Cripple, a level 4 wolf ability, has a 20% chance to cripple the target, doing 8 damage per second and reducing their attack speed to 60 for 4 seconds.
HOWL
Reduces armor and attack damage of all foes within 2000.0 range of Lycan and his wolves by striking dread into them. Units not under the control of the hero briefly flee. Howl’s armor and attack damage reductions are universal at night.
FERAL IMPULSE
Increases Lycan’s and all of his controlled units’ HP regeneration and damage.
SHAPESHIFT
An ally receives Shapeshifting abilities after being bitten by a Lycan. As long as they are within 1200.0 range of one another, Lycan and the bitten target each acquire 30.0% Lifesteal and share the healing effects of Lifesteal.
