Does not release projectiles for spell immune enemies. Already launched projectiles do nothing if their target turns spell immune.

Modifiers

modifier_gungir_debuff: Dispellable with any dispel.

Notes:

• Launches projectiles onto enemies within the area.
  • Can target invisible units and units inside the fog of war.

• The projectiles travel at a speed of 1750.

• Roots the targets, preventing them from moving and casting certain mobility spells.
  • Provides True Sight over the target, but only when the target was not invisible or within a fade time upon hit.
  • This means invisible enemies within the area do not get revealed, although they are fully affected by it.

• Gleipnir first applies the damage, then the debuff.

• Successive casts on the same target do not stack, but refresh the duration instead.

• Shares cooldown with Rod of Atos.

Bounce Distance: 650

Number of Bounces: 4

Bounce Interval: 0.25

Damage: 160

0.2

Modifiers

modifier_maelstrom_chain: Dispellable with death only.

Notes:

• Does not stack with the Chain Lightning of Maelstrom, Mjollnir or other Gleipnirs.

• When obtaining multiple items with the Chain Lightning ability, only the one that has been continuously the longest in the inventory works.

• The lightning bounces in 0.25 second intervals, so hitting max targets takes 0.75 seconds.

• Can proc on fogged or invisible units, but does not bounce toward fogged or invisible units.

• Can never hit the same unit more than once per proc.

• All bounces together can deal up to 640 damage (before reductions).

• Against a lone target, adds an average of 48 magical damage to every attack.

• Chain Lightning can proc while a previous chain lightning is still bouncing.

• Chain Lightning does not proc if the attacker is dead. However, it can proc if the target is dead.

• Chain Lightning uses pseudo-random distribution.

• Attacks which proc Chain Lightning cannot miss.

• The Maelstrom Chain buff is a hidden buff required for the lightning to jump.

• Chain Lightning does not use a regular cooldown. It is neither displayed on the item icon when proccing, nor is it affected by cooldown manipulating effects.

Trivia

• In Norse Mythology, Gleipnir is the chain that is used to bind Fenrir, a wolf that is the son of Loki and Angrboda.
• Gleipnir's intern name is "Gungir", an incorrect spelling of Gungnir, which is the spear of the Norse Mythology God Odin.
