Orbs to enemies and silences them. | |
Hatched on the frond of the Undertree, Puck's youthful mischievousness belied inscrutable motives. By teleporting to its Illusory Orb to Jaunt through short distances, it attacks and disrupt foes with bursts of Silencing Dust, Phase Shifting in and out of existence to avoid swords and spells alike. Equally adept at fighting and play, Puck Coils its foes to a single point, forcing them to break their restraints and be stunned, or stay and face Puck's advancing allies. | |

Bio[]
▶️ "I find myself strangely drawn to this odd configuration of activity."
Lore:
While Puck seems at first glance a mischievous, childish character, this quality masks an alien personality. The juvenile form of a Faerie Dragon, a creature that lives for eons, Puck spends countless millennia in its childish form. So while it is technically true that Puck is juvenile, it will continue to be so when the cities of the present age have sloughed away into dust. Its motives are therefore inscrutable, and what appears to be play may in fact indicate a darker purpose or just its endless fondness for mischief.

Abilities[]
Puck launches a magic orb that floats in a straight path, damaging enemy units along the way. At any point, Puck may teleport to the orb's location using Ethereal Jaunt.
Cast Range: 3000
Damage Radius: 225
Damage: 100/170/240/280
The playful Faerie Dragon delights in confusing others, vanishing and reappearing where unexpected.
- The orb emits red pulses for the last 650 distance, indicating that it is about to reach its maximum travel range.
- The orb has 450 range flying vision.
- The orb also spawns 7 ( 10) vision fields with the same vision range every 279 ( 273) distance traveled.
- These vision fields last for 3.34 seconds each.

Teleports Puck to a flying Illusory Orb.
- This ability is automatically learned whenever Illusory Orb is learned.
- This ability stays inactive until Illusory Orb is cast and turns inactive again once the orb of that cast is gone.
- Ethereal Jaunt disjoints projectiles upon cast.
- When two orbs are cast in succession, this ability only stays active for the duration of the first cast orb.
- However, it always teleports Puck to its last created orb.
Radius: 400
Damage: 100/160/220/280
Duration: 2/2.5/3/3.5
With a mischievous grin, Puck spreads its enchanted powder which disrupts magical flow.
- Despite the visual effects, the silence and damage are applied instantly in the entire radius.
- Waning Rift first applies the damage, then the debuff.
- Only the cooldown reduction from the level 20 talent is displayed. The level 25 talent can further reduce this to 6/5.25/4.5/3.75 (12/11.25/10.5/9.75 without the level 20 talent).
Max Channel Time: 0.75/1.5/2.25/3.25
With a quip and flash, Puck returns to the alien dimension from whence it came.
- Phase Shift disjoints projectiles upon cast.
- Certain items which do not cancel channeling spells (e.g. Shadow Blade or Shiva's Guard) do cancel Phase Shift.
- Puck is invulnerable and hidden during Phase Shift, turning it to an invalid target for every spell.
- The buff lingers for one server tick once the channeling ends or is interrupted, which allows using items while still invulnerable and hidden.
- Puck retains its collision size during Phase Shift.
- Puck can cancel Phase Shift at any time with any action.
Creates a coil of volatile magic that latches onto enemies, stunning, slowing and damaging them. Puck instantly attacks all enemies affected by Dream Coil every 0.6/0.55/0.5 seconds. If the enemy stretches the coil by moving too far away, it snaps, stunning and dealing additional damage.
Cast Range: 750
Coil Latch Radius: 375
Link Break Radius: 600
Attack Interval: 0.6/0.55/0.5
Movement Speed Slow: 90%
Initial Stun Duration: 0.5
Increases damage from coil breaks, increases coil duration, coil break stun goes through spell immunity.
The Faerie Dragon sows confusion by forcing its enemies to vividly dream about their own mortality.
- Every enemy within 375 range of the coil upon cast gets linked to it. The links last as long as the coil itself or until broken.
- Leashes all linked enemies, preventing them from casting certain mobility spells.
- Entering the area has no effect. The coil does not leash enemies after cast.
- Linked units have their movement speed slowed as well.
- If a linked unit moves 600 range away from the coil, the link breaks and stuns and damages the unit.
- It does not matter how far or how fast the unit moves away, the stun and damage always hit it, unless they are invulnerable.
- Dream Coil latches on invisible units and on units in the Fog of War. But the visible link draws to their last known location.
- The link break first applies the damage, then the debuff.
- Multiple instances of Dream Coil fully stack, with each cast placing its own separate debuff.
- Puck performs instant attacks on all enemies who have the coiled debuff.
- The attacks are limited to Puck's attack range, and are not global.
- These attacks can proc any attack modifier and on hit effects normally.
- The attacks are performed even while Puck is disabled, hidden or even while dead. This means the attacks happen even during Phase Shift.
- Since the attacking is bound to the coiled debuff, removing it earlier causes the attacks to stop, even when the enemy is still linked.
- Multiple instances of Dream Coil on enemies causes Puck to attack multiple times, for each instance, with the interval based on when the debuffs were received.
