Death

• Fountain Damage is considered as a conditional attack damage bonus.
  • Although the attack damage bonus values are not displayed in the HUD, it is still considered and directly added to the Fountain's attack damage.
  • Since it is considered bonus attack damage, it is not affected by percentage-based attack damage bonuses or reductions.

• On each attack Fountain Damage first adds 1 stack and then deals damage based on the stack count.
  • This means that the bonus attack damage is applied even with the first attack.
  • Each successful attack refreshes the whole stack. Missed attacks neither place the buff, nor add a stack or refresh it.
  • The number of stacks is visible on the debuff icon placed on affected units.

• With its current attack rate of 6.67, Fountain Damage increases the Fountain's damage by 20 per second.

• Grants the Fountain's outgoing attacks a percentage-based accuracy preventing its attacks from being missed by 25% from evasion or blind effects.
  • Stacks multiplicatively with other outgoing accuracy sources.

• Does not work against wards.

Trivia

• In original DotA, Fountain is considered an organic unit. As such, many heroes spells and passives works against the Fountain such as Crystal Maiden's Frostbite and Wraith King's Vampiric Aura (Pre 7.23). The former were infamously known to be able to destroy Fountain in an instant, likely due to Warcraft III engine-related bug.
