Chaos Knight's unwieldy power bludgeons those who stand before him, crushing the thickest of armors.

• Stacks additively with other sources of lifesteal.

Evasion Proc Chance: 11%/0%/0%/0%

Crit Proc Chance: 1%/11%/11%/11%

Critical Damage: 1100%/150%/250%/333%

Chaos Knight's unwieldy power bludgeons those who stand before him, crushing the thickest of armors.

• This ability got reworked into the following Chaos Strike in the 6.11.

• The evasion was only provided on level 1.

• The actual chance to proc a critical strike was 0%/10%/10%/10%, since the Warcraft 3 engine always rounded the percentage numbers to the next 5 position.
  • This means the chance to proc a 1100% damage hit was non-existent, so it only provided the evasion on level 1.

• Increased attack damage by an average of 0%/5.5%/16.5%/25.63%.

  • Even though the ability description said that About 11 summoned 11 illusions of Chaos Knight the ability only used to summon 9 illusions.
  • It seems that the original plan for About 11 was to summon 11 illusions but was nerfed before release and the ability description was not updated.

  • But the illusion Damage Dealt was 2%/4%/6% and the Illusion Damage Taken was 100%.
