Modifiers

Time Walk

Death

• This ability got reworked into the following Time Walk (6.13-6.85b) in the 6.13 gameplay patch.

• Faceless Void is invulnerable and cannot be controlled during Time Walk. Does not disjoint projectiles upon cast.

• Searches for units within the radius in 0.5 second intervals, starting immediately upon cast. Stops instantly when it cannot find any valid target.

• The radius is centered at the point Faceless Void was upon cast for the whole duration, not around him.

• If no units are within the radius upon cast, the spell will not go into cooldown, but will still use the mana.

• Cannot target invisible units or units inside the fog of war. Does not target buildings and wards.

• Faceless Void performs instant attacks on each selected enemy, so attack modifiers can proc, and the attacks can miss.

WR

Ability
Passive

Affects
Self

Faceless Void dodges damage by jumping backward in time, eluding both physical and magical attacks.

Proc Chance: 10%/15%/20%/25%

Modifiers

modifier_faceless_void_backtrack

Undispellable

Darkterror sees what has yet to be seen.

• This ability was replaced by Time Dilation in the 6.86 gameplay patch.

• Backtrack belongs to the group of damage negating effects. It is not evasion.
  • This means it only negates damage, it does not evade any side effects of spells or attacks, like disables.
  • When an attack has e.g. Diffusal Blade and Backtrack triggers on the attack, the damage is avoided, but the mana burn still takes effect.
  • This also means that Monkey King Bar will not stop Backtrack from avoiding attack damage.
  • Evasion has priority over Backtrack. When evasion procs, Backtrack can't proc on that attack.

• Backtrack has the 3rd highest priority in the group of damage negating effects.
  • This means when combined with e.g. Aphotic Shield or Living Armor, Backtrack negates damage while the shield or armor do not.

• As with all damage manipulating effects and despite the ability description, Backtrack can negate all 3 damage types.
  • Increases Faceless Void's effective HP by an average of 11%/18%/25%/33% against those.

• Backtrack fully ignores damage which is flagged as HP Removal.

Evasion (Pre 6.10)

Evasion

• Since the Warcraft 3 engine rounds the numbers of this kind of abilities automatically down to the closest 5, the actual dodge chance was 15%/20%/30%/35%.

The strike of the Faceless Void lands with dimension shifting force.

• This ability got reworked into the current Time Lock in the 7.20 gameplay patch.

• Does not stack with other bashes. The bash from Skull Basher and Abyssal Blade is completely disabled for Faceless Void.

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

• Time Lock works against allied units, but not against wards and buildings.

• The bonus damage is dealt in one instance together with the attack damage, and counts as attack damage as well.
  • It can be lifestealed off of, but it is not considered by crit or cleave.
  • It is also not affected by percentage-based attack damage bonuses or reductions, but can be reduced with flat reductions.

• Adds an average of 5/11.25/20/31.25 ( 15/26.25/40/56.25) magical damage to every attack.

• Time Lock uses pseudo-random distribution.
