Hunts with her army of Spiderlings.
Inhabiting the larva tubes below the caldera of Mount Pyrotheos, Black Arachnia grew tired of recent adventurers stepping on her many offspring. And so, the Broodmother set out to rid the world of every potential intruder, one hero at a time. Warm bodies make ideal nurseries, a fact not lost on Black Arachnia as she injects her eggs into dying foes to Spawn Spiderlings. Across patches of land she Spin Webs of Silken Fiber, sheltering herself within to recuperate injuries or laying down Snares to catch her prey. Driven by an Insatiable Hunger, the Broodmother goes into a feeding frenzy, sucking the vital fluids from wandering heroes with each bite, replenishing herself for the next spawn cycle.

Bio

Black Arachnia, the Broodmother

▶️ "I've promised you to my children."

Lore:

For centuries, Black Arachnia the Broodmother lurked in the dark lava tubes beneath the smoldering caldera of Mount Pyrotheos, raising millions of spiderlings in safety before sending them to find prey in the wide world above. In a later age, the Vizier of Greed, Ptholopthales, erected his lodestone ziggurat on the slopes of the dead volcano, knowing that any looters who sought his magnetic wealth must survive the spider-haunted passages.

After millennia of maternal peace, Black Arachnia found herself beset by a steady trickle of furfeet and cutpurses, bold knights and noble youths--all of them delicious, certainly, and yet tending to create a less than nurturing environment for her innocent offspring. Tiring of the intrusions, she paid a visit to Ptholopthales; and when he proved unwilling to discuss a compromise, she wrapped the Vizier in silk and set him aside to be the centerpiece of a special birthday feast.

Unfortunately, the absence of the Magnetic Ziggurat's master merely emboldened a new generation of intruders. When one of her newborns was trodden underfoot by a clumsy adventurer, she reached the end of her silken rope. Broodmother headed for the surface, declaring her intent to rid the world of each and every possible invader, down to the last Hero if necessary, until she could ensure her nursery might once more be a safe and wholesome environment for her precious spiderspawn.

Any

Paralytic toxins come from Black Arachnia's fangs, causing a slow and painful death to those who intrude on her webs.

• The projectile travels at a speed of 1200.

• Silken Bola first applies the debuff, then the damage.

• The bonus damage is considered as a conditional attack damage bonus and is magical damage.
  • Although the attack damage bonus values are not displayed in the HUD, it is still considered and directly added to the unit's attack damage.
  • However, it is considered by lifesteal, crit or cleave, and it can be reduced only by flat reductions (e.g. magical damage barrier).
  • Since it is considered bonus attack damage, it is not affected by percentage-based attack damage bonuses or reductions.

• The bonus damage only triggers for allied hero attacks (including illusions and clones, excluding creep-heroes), and any attacks done by units owned by Broodmother.

• Blind uses pseudo-random distribution.
  • Stacks additively with other blind sources and multiplicatively with evasion sources.

• Successive casts do not update the ability values but refresh the duration.

• TALENT
  The area of effect talent turns Silken Bola into a 400 radius area-targeted ability, so that it cannot directly target units anymore.

Ability Draft Notes:

Requires drafting Spawn Spiderlings to be unlocked.

The slightest tremor of her web is all Arachnia needs to find her prey.

• Requires Aghanim's Scepter to be unlocked.

• Has a Global cast range when there is a Spin Web within 800 range of the targeted point.
  • The vector-targeted direction of Spinner's Snare is not considered, only the initially selected center point matters.

• Cannot be cast within the vicinity of another web line. The vector must not overlap with another line to cast.

• The web line forms over a 2-second duration, during which the line is completely inactive.

• The web lines are completely invisible to the enemy and cannot be revealed.

• Once formed, the line can trigger on enemy heroes and clones coming within its area of effect.
  • Treats illusions and creep-heroes as creeps.

• When triggered, allies get a ‼ Ping on their minimap, while the triggering hero receives a single debuff that applies all ability effects.
  • The modifier exposes the target, provides True Sight over them, and slows their movement speed.
  • After 0.25 seconds, the modifier roots the target, preventing them from moving and casting certain mobility abilities.
  • This means the root effectively lasts 2.75 seconds.
  • The damage over time starts immediately in the same interval after this delay as well, and ticks in 1-second intervals, resulting up to 4 instances.
  • Can deal up to 400 damage to the target (before reductions).
  • Invulnerable and spell immune units can trigger the snare but are not damaged.

• Once triggered, the snare becomes visible to enemies and disappears after 3 seconds.
  • This timer is independent of the debuff on the enemy, so removing the debuff does not cause the snare to disappear earlier.
  • During this time, other enemy heroes still may get debuffed by the snare.

• The snares have no set duration, they last until triggered.
  • Exceeding the max allowed number of snares instantly destroys the oldest snare.

• The snares do not provide vision and are not visible through the Fog of War to anyone.

Recommended Items

Starting items:

• Tango provides needed health restoration during the laning phase.
• Healing Salve keeps Broodmother in lane by restoring her health.
• Enchanted Mango provides some passive health regeneration and burst mana until she is able to get Soul Ring.
• Clarity gives mana to produce Spiderlings.
• Iron Branch provides cheap attributes. Use with Tango for more healing.
• Quelling Blade makes last hitting easier.

Early game:

• Soul Ring allows her to use Spawn Spiderlings more often without fear of running out of mana to harass the enemies, take last hits, and amass Spiderlings.
• Magic Wand gives attributes and restores health and mana in burst, keeping Broodmother healthy to continue making Spiderlings.
• Medallion of Courage increases mana regeneration so Broodmother can continue to spawn spiderlings and it's active helps to hasten farm speed.

Mid game:

• Solar Crest bolsters Broodmother defense with armor and attributes. Its active ability helps Broodmother and Spiderlings tear down neutral creeps and enemy heroes by lowering their armor.
• Black King Bar prevents Broodmother from being affected by most stuns allowing her to continue to attack her enemy and benefit from the amplified damage and lifesteal of Insatiable Hunger to keep Broodmother alive in team fights.
• Orchid Malevolence aids Broodmother in killing heroes that have abilities that allow them to escape or disable Broodmother. Also solving most of her mana problems.
• Aghanim's Shard will allow Broodmother's Insatiable Hunger to gain bonus damage output for 4% for every second of it's duration.

Late game:

• Assault Cuirass increases the attack speed and armor of Broodmother and her spiders, while also reducing the armor of nearby towers. A fantastic item to compliment Broodmother's strengths.
• Butterfly works very well with her passive making it even harder for enemies to hit her along with its excellent stats to increase Broodmother's carry potential.
• Nullifier can prove useful against items like Ghost Scepter or to prevent enemies from dispelling Orchid Malevolence's silence.
• Bloodthorn supplies mana and increases Broodmother's damage output. Its active ability silences the target and grants True Strike to any enemy affected.
• Aghanim's Scepter will give Broodmother access to Spinner's Snare which will allow her to place up to 5 invisible web lines touching any existing web from Spin Web. If enemy heroes unwittingly step onto those lines, they will become revealed, rooted and will take magical damage over time, allowing Broodmother to keep enemies under watch and disrupt their ganking attempts and initiations while also alerting her and her allies on their presence.
• Monkey King Bar will give Broodmother lots of attack speed and attack damage, and it will also give her attacks great chances to pierce through armor and evasion.

Situational items:

• Hand of Midas accelerates Broodmother's leveling allowing her to reach her late-game talents sooner.
• Vladmir's Offering will give Broodmother a lifestealing aura that will benefit both Broodmother and her spiderlings.
• Mask of Madness offers cost-effective attack speed to combine with the bonus damage granted by Insatiable Hunger for a cheap increase in damage output.
• Desolator gives excellent damage and armor reduction increasing Broodmother's pushing and killing speed.
• Diffusal Blade can be picked up early for an additional slow on enemies in addition to its decent stats. Can be later upgraded into Disperser for an dispel in an area for allies and brief immunity to slows.
• Silver Edge will give Broodmother bonus attack damage and attack speed, and it will also give her escape tool and ability to disable passive abilities of certain heroes.
• Pipe of Insight because Broodmother can farm so fast, picking up a pipe for the team can allow her and her spiders to survive heavy magic burst that would usually prove lethal.
• Linken's Sphere can give Broodmother bonus health and mana regeneration, good damage output, nice attributes and the ability to block powerful single-targeted abilities every 13 seconds.
• Dagon can give Broodmother good attributes along with a spell lifesteal, allowing her to heal herself using Silken Bola and Spawn Spiderlings. And it's magical damage burst can be further amplified with Silken Bola. Dagon can also allow Broodmother to put Linken's Sphere on cooldown and make it's owner more vulnerable to other disables.
• Ethereal Blade will give Broodmother bonus cast range, allowing her to use Spin Web, Silken Bola and Spawn Spiderlings from longer distances, and the extra mana and attributes will allow Broodmother to get lots of Spiderlings needed for pushing more often. Ethereal Blade will also allow Broodmother to defend herself against enemy heroes who rely on direct attacks to deal damage or to disarm them and make them more vulnerable to Silken Bola's and Spawn Spiderlings's magical damage output. Bear in mind, however, that Ethereal Blade will not allow Broodmother to attack enemy heroes directly with Insatiable Hunger as she often relies on direct attacks rather than on abilities to be effective.
• Revenant's Brooch will give Broodmother lots of attack damage along with spell lifesteal that will allow her to heal herself using Silken Bola and Spawn Spiderlings. Revenant's Brooch's active ability will also allow Broodmother's attacks to deal magical damage and attack ethereal units with while she has Insatiable Hunger active, making it a good alternative for Nullifier. Likewise, the active ability of Revenant's Brooch can be further amplified with Silken Bola while it's active.
• Parasma will give Broodmother more attack speed, more armor, more intelligence and true strike every 9 seconds. Parasma's active will also allow Broodmother's attacks to weaken enemy heroes's magic resistance by 20% for 3 seconds, rendering them more vulnerable to Silken Bola's and Spawn Spiderlings's magical damage output,
• Maelstrom will give Broodmother bonus attack damage and will also allow Broodmother's attacks to passively trigger a chain lightning that can bounce between enemies and damage them, giving her much needed AoE capabilities. Maelstrom can later be upgraded either into Mjollnir for bonus attack speed and more AoE capabilities, or into Gleipnir for a root in an area and the ability to prevent enemy heroes from fleeing.
• Abyssal Blade offers a reliable stun and occasional bashes to further lock down enemies, even through debuff immunity.
