Damage

Stomps the ground, dealing damage to nearby units and reducing their base physical armor by 50%.

Cast Animation: +

Radius: 300

Damage: 200

Base Armor Reduction: 50%

Duration: 6

12

100

Modifiers

Any

The armor reduction is based on the affected units' base armor and armor granted by agility. Direct armor bonuses are ignored.

The armor reduction adapts based on how the affected units' armor changes due to agility loss or gain in 0.5 second intervals. It is not set upon placing the debuff.

Desecrate first applies the debuff, then the damage.

Multiple instances of the debuff do not stack.

As a neutral unit:
- The Prowler only casts this spell when there is at least 1 or more enemy within the radius while it is attacking.
- The enemy must be a valid target for the spell. Units which are not affected by the spell do not count.

As a player controlled unit:
- No restrictions.

Has a cast backswing of 0.17 when cast by Doom (acquired through Devour).

Has a cast backswing of 1.07 when cast by Rubick (acquired through casting Spell Steal on Doom).

Modifiers

Any

Roots and disarms the target, preventing it from moving, attacking and casting certain mobility spells.
- Provides True Sight over the target.

Deals 37.5 damage in 0.5 second intervals, starting immediately on cast, resulting in 4 damage instances.

Can deal up to 150 damage to the target (before reductions).

Refreshing the debuff on a target does not stack. It refreshes the root duration, but not the damage.

The attack first applies the debuff, then its own damage.

The Prowler's weapon emits a purple glow whenever the ability is ready.

As a neutral unit:
- Petrify is set to autocast for the Prowler, so that it gets used whenever it is ready on an attack.

As a player controlled unit:
- No restrictions.

When acquired by Doom, it is initially on autocast as well. Cannot be stolen by Rubick.

Trivia[]

This creep's internal name is Spawnlord Master.
According to the game files, the Prowler Shaman was supposed to have a bash ability. It had a 40% chance to stun for 1 second. It presumably got scrapped during the beta.
