Armlet of Mordiggian

The Armlet of Mordiggian is an item purchasable at the Main Shop, under Weapons.

Additional information

 * Heroes can buy multiple Armlets, but the active effect does not stack.
 * If multiple Armlets are toggled on, turning off any Armlet ends Unholy Strength.
 * It can be re-enabled toggling on any inactive Armlet.


 * One Armlet of Mordiggian grants the following:
 * While toggled off, grants a total of health regeneration,  armor,  attack speed and  attack damage.
 * While toggled on, grants a total of health,  health regeneration,   armor,  attack speed and  ( to  strength heroes) attack damage.

Tips

 * When toggled on, Armlet increases maximum and current health by 475. This means when not at full health, it can effectively work as a temporary heal. However, it also has the opposite effect when toggling off, instantly reducing the hero's health by 475 (but not below 1). When toggled properly, this allows heroes at low health to survive and turn fights.
 * This item is very good with lifesteal, and if the user's damage output is high enough it can negate the health loss, depending on the amount of lifesteal the user has.
 * The Heart of Tarrasque's passive regen vastly overturns the health loss, allowing to have the Armlet constantly active, as long as the heart does not get disabled. The health loss of Armlet also does not disable the regeneration of Heart of Tarrasque, since it is considered HP Removal.
 * The Armlet is a very cost-effective item to build, especially on strength heroes that naturally benefit most from its effects. It is also useful on heroes with illusions or abilities that increase their base damage (like Sven's ultimate).
 * Lone Druid's Spirit Bear is normally affected by the health drain, but does not benefit from the strength bonus.

Trivia

 * Armlet of Mordiggian is named after Mordiggian, a deity in the Cthulhu Mythos created by Clark Ashton Smith in his story The Charnel God (1934), whose powers consist of sucking away life force and whose cult consists entirely of ghouls.
