Tips and Tricks
Wraith King should typically start fights and take some damage first because of his durability.
On Wraith King, Soul Ring or Mango can come in helpful to make sure you have enough mana for a last-second Reincarnation.
It’s sometimes a good idea to hold off using your Reincarnation skill point. Decide to level the spell when you need it rather than putting it on cooldown early if your squad can’t benefit from it.
Wraith King’s Ability
WRAITHFIRE BLAST
With ghostly fire, Wraith King pierces an opponent unit, dealing damage and stunning the victim before dealing damage gradually and slowing it. For the duration of the debuff, summoned skeletons in the area of the target will have increased movement and attack speed.
VAMPIRIC SPIRIT
Depending on the harm the Wraith King causes when assaulting enemy units, restore health. Skeletons may be summoned by casting Vampiric Spirit. Vampiric Aura adds a skeleton charge for each two kills Wraith King or any unit under his control score against adversary troops. When killed, skeletons only reappear once.
Skeletons harm heroes more often while weakening structures.
Creeps’ ability to steal life is lowered by 40.0%.
MORTAL STRIKE
Wraith King has a passive ability that increases damage on attacks with cooldowns.
REINCARNATION
When the Wraith King is killed in battle, his body reassembles after death, enabling him to rise again. After dying, enemy units within a 900.0-radius will slow down and spawn one (1) skeleton to attack each enemy hero in the area. Wraith King can be instantaneously killed by a self-cast spell.
