Illusions (also commonly called illus) are imperfect, weaker copies of heroes, created by spells or items. They look like and are mostly treated like a hero, but are impaired, as they usually have incoming and outgoing damage penalties, dealing less damage and taking more damage than heroes. They are mostly incapable of casting spells or using active item abilities and also have some passive abilities disabled. They also may not drop or pick up items or runes. Illusions yield a little gold and experience based on the hero's level. They do not soak up any AoE experience and gold (they cannot level up, and the gold from last hits they make goes to their owners) and do not interfere with kill streaks or counters.
Illusions can be created from an allied, enemy, or the own hero, copying its appearance, level, attributes, attack values, defensive values like base armor and base magic resistance and their abilities on their current level. All items owned by the hero are copied as well, including all their stats (although some effects of abilities and items are disabled for illusions).
All illusions deal 60% less damage against buildings, making them weaker in pushing. This reduction stacks multiplicatively with the outgoing damage reduction which most illusions have, and also multiplicatively with the damage reduction hero damage does against structure armor type. However, due to the fact that illusions are based on heroes, their damage scales together with the heroes, making them still a significant pushing tool, especially in later phases of a match.
All illusions are invulnerable for one server tick (0.03 seconds) as they spawn. It does not matter which ability spawns them, this goes for all of them. Illusions also always play the same birth sound (which is only audible to allies) upon spawning, and the same death sound upon dying in any way, including upon expiring.
Visual appearance
All illusions have an extra texture layer, which makes them distinguishable from the original hero. There are 6 different types of textures which can be seen below.
To allies, illusions always appear with the texture layer, making them always look different than the original hero. For enemies, illusions which use the blue or the yellow textures appear like the original hero, making it difficult to tell them apart from the real hero. Illusions with the second, third, or seventh texture appear like illusions to the enemy, meaning enemies do see their illusion textures. However, despite this, the portrait of illusions always appears like the original hero to the enemy.
Illusions do not show damage numbers.
Appearance | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Portrait | |||||||
Abilities | Default | Blink, Phantasm, Illusionist's Cape, Manta Style, Mirror Image, Illusion Rune, Disruption, Haunt, Shadow Step |
Wall of Replica, Vengeance Aura | Conjure Image, Reflection | Doppelganger | Doppelganger, Juxtapose, Spirit Lance | Dark Portrait |
Camouflaged | - | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | No |
Besides their skin and portrait, their health bar also differs based on whether the illusion is allied or not. Allied illusions have the same health bar as creeps. This also means their mana bar is not visible, as it is only visible when having a hero or creep-hero health bar. Besides this, illusions also have a circle on the left side of the health bar, which indicates their duration.
Enemy illusions use a hero health bar to not make it obvious that they are illusions. They also display the player's or hero's name above them like regular enemy heroes (if the player has the name display toggled on player name or hero name). The player name is based on the owner of the illusion, not of the hero the illusion is based on. This means when an enemy Shadow Demon creates illusions of allies, the illusions carry Shadow Demon's player name. When hero names are chosen, instead of player names, it shows the name of the hero the illusion is based on, and not the owner's hero.

Stats
All 3 attributes of illusions (strength, agility and intelligence) are based on the original hero. They copy their base attributes, the attributes gained from levels, and all item bonuses. They fully benefit from every trait of attributes, health, health regen, mana, mana regen, armor, attack speed, and attack damage. They also copy the hero's movement speed, main attack damage, attack animation (and projectile speed), base attack time, attack range, bonus attack range, base magic resistance, main armor, base health and mana regen, vision, collision size and turn rate. An illusion's stats, level, ability levels and items are all set upon spawn and do not adapt to the original hero.
Besides copying all the base stats of heroes, these bonus stats (from items, talents or passive abilities) are also copied:
- Attack range
- Attack speed
- Attributes
- Base attack time
- Base attack damage
- Evasion
- Health
- Mana
- Health regeneration
- Mana regeneration
- Movement speed
- Spell damage amplification
- Status resistance
- Vision
These bonus stats are not copied and thus do not work for illusions (although some of them are displayed in the HUD still):
And finally, these bonus stats are inconsistent; some sources work, some do not:
Magic resistance
Magic resistance increasing effects do not affect illusions, except Fate's Edict, which fully works.
Magic resistance reductions are inconsistent with illusions. They either do, or do not affect them. However, in the HUD, magic resistance is always displayed as if they were fully affected.
Magical damage barriers fully work for illusions.
These abilities do reduce the magic resistance of illusions:
These abilities do not reduce the magic resistance of illusions:
Bounty
Illusions have a gold and experience bounty equal to their level times 2. The gold bounty is granted to the player killing the illusion, while the experience is shared within the default experience area. However, the experience is only granted when the illusion is killed by a player. Expiring illusions, or illusions dying to lane creeps, towers, fountains or neutral creeps do not grant any experience.
The following table shows their bounties on each level:
Level | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bounty | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 28 | 30 | 32 | 34 | 36 | 38 | 40 | 42 | 44 | 46 | 48 | 50 | 52 | 54 | 56 | 58 | 60 |
The following illusions grant 5 gold and experience, regardless of their level:
- Juxtapose (created by Phantom Lancer and from illusions)
- Spirit Lance
- Wall of Replica
Copying buffs or debuffs
Usually when an illusion spawns, it does not copy the buffs and debuffs the original hero has. There are some exceptions with buffs though. However, they do copy toggle statuses of items and of some abilities.
The following buffs are copied by illusions:
1 The Armlet buff gets copied and applies all its effects (as according to the stats section details), except for the health loss.
2 The wolf form is copied, but the aura is not, so once Lycan returns to his default form, the Shapeshifted illusions no longer move at max speed and no longer crit.
3 Although a consumed Moon Shard's buff is copied, illusions are not granted the attack speed bonus. Only the bonus night vision is applied.
Attack modifiers
These attack modifiers fully work for illusions:
- Abaddon – Curse of Avernus
- Anti-Mage – Manabreak2
- Brewmaster – Drunken Brawler Critical Strike
- Chaos Knight – Chaos Strike
- Crystalys – Critical Strike
- Daedalus – Critical Strike
- Diffusal Blade – Manabreak2

- Wraith King – Vampiric Spirit
1 The reductions of Split Shot and Marksmanship are the only reductions which affect illusions.
2 Mana Break and Diffusal Blade burn less mana for illusions than for real heroes.
3 All 3 modifiers of Elder Dragon Form work for illusions, however, the poison debuff placed by illusions deals no damage, the slow debuff doesn't actually slow target (though the speed on the HUD is decreased).
4 Only the accuracy works for illusions.
These attack modifiers do not work for illusions:
- Abaddon – Curse of Avernus1
- Abyssal Blade – Bash
- Battle Fury – Cleave2
- Battle Fury – Quell
- Blight Stone – Lesser Corruption

- Lua error: Found no Cargo data for "Ursa - Fury Swipes".
- Weaver – Geminate Attack
1 Places buff on the illusions on each attack, but does not apply the debuff on attack targets.
2 The particle effects of these attack modifiers appear and their sounds play, but their effects are not applied.
3 Tidebringer is always on autocast for illusions, so they proc whenever off cooldown, but none of its effects are applied.
Passive abilities
These passive abilities fully work for illusions:
- Abyssal Blade – Damage Block
- Aether Lens – Aethereal Focus
- Axe – Counter Helix
- Bristleback – Warpath1
- Crimson Guard – Damage Block
- Earthshaker – Aftershock
- Enchantress – Untouchable
- Faceless Void – Innate Chronosphere Immunity
- Medusa – Split Shot
- Naga Siren – Rip Tide
- Night Stalker – Hunter in the Night
- Octarine Core – Cooldown Reduction
- Ogre Magi – Multicast
- Phantom Assassin – Blur
- Phantom Lancer – Phantom Rush
- Shadow Fiend – Necromastery
- Storm Spirit – Overload
- Treant Protector – Nature's Guise
- Vanguard – Damage Block
- Visage – Gravekeeper's Cloak
1 Warpath does proc when illusions cast spells. Also, since Warpath always applies a stack on all owned illusions by default, illusions casting spells get 2 stacks per cast.
These passive abilities do not work for illusions:
- Abaddon – Borrowed Time1
- Alchemist – Greevil's Greed
- Anti-Mage – Counterspell1
- Lua error: Found no Cargo data for "Bloodstone - Mana Battery".
- Centaur Warrunner – Retaliate

- Meepo – Divided We Stand
- Pangolier – Lucky Shot
- Pudge – Flesh Heap
- Shadow Fiend – Requiem of Souls1
- Slark – Shadow Dance1
- Spectre – Dispersion
- Wraith King – Reincarnation
1 The passive components of these active abilities do not work for illusions.
And finally, these passive abilities work partially for illusions:
- Heal and speed limit removal work for illusions, but movement speed bonus and detection/vision do not.
- Illusions gain the damage reduction, but not the passive Quill Spray procs.
- Illusions benefit from the health regeneration, but not from the armor.
- Illusions benefit from the base bonus speed, not the self bonus speed.
- The Damage Block works for illusions, but the dispel effect does not.
- Illusions gain stacks and benefit from the health regeneration, but not from the armor.
- The damage and slow work for illusions, but they do not gain magic resistance.
Auras
These auras are bestowed by illusions:
- Assault Cuirass – Assault Aura
- Beastmaster – Inner Beast
- Buckler – Buckler Aura2
- Centaur Warrunner – Retaliate Aura
- Crystal Maiden – Arcane Aura
- Elder Titan – Natural Order1
- Guardian Greaves – Guardian Aura
- Headdress – Regeneration Aura
- Luna – Lunar Blessing
- Lycan – Feral Impulse
- Mekansm – Mekansm Aura
- Necrophos – Heartstopper Aura
- Lua error: Found no Cargo data for "Omniknight - Degen Aura".
- Pipe of Insight – Insight Aura

- Ring of Basilius – Basilius Aura
- Shadow Fiend – Presence of the Dark Lord
- Shiva's Guard – Freezing Aura
- Underlord – Atrophy Aura4
- Undying – Plague Aura
- Vengeful Spirit – Vengeance Aura5
- Lua error: Found no Cargo data for "Veil of Discord - Basilius Aura".
- Vladmir's Offering – Vladmir's Aura
1 Despite the illusions not having an Astral Spirit, their Natural Order always bestows the armor reduction and the magic resistance reduction.
2 Illusions copy the toggle status of these auras.
3 Radiance Aura is weaker on illusions, dealing 1.5 damage, instead of 60.
4 Illusions bestow the Atrophy Aura. When an enemy dies within aura range of an illusion, Underlord gets the damage bonus, if he owns the illusion, otherwise the illusion itself gets the damage.
5 Illusions do not spawn a Vengeance illusion upon death.
These auras are not bestowed by illusions:
Active abilities
Most illusions cannot use active abilities and items. The only exception are Talent-upgraded Vengeance illusions, which are allowed to cast Vengeful Spirit's abilities.
Almost all active abilities work normally for illusions, although there is currently no way for illusions to regularly use them. Only very few have a different effect when the caster is an illusion.
- Even when the illusion is allowed to cast spells, Borrowed Time still does not auto-activate when below 400 health.
- When the casting illusion dies, the fire trail immediately disappears, instead of staying for its remaining duration.
- All persuaded units die instantly when the illusion dies.
- Cannot be used by illusions at all. Attempting to cast this makes the illusion perform a regular attack.
- Illusions cannot cast this spell.
- When the illusion dies while having the Astral Spirit out, the Astral Spirit dies as well. It does not return.
- When the illusion dies, Nature's Attendants ends immediately, instead of continuing to heal nearby allies for the remaining duration.
- When the illusion dies, Diabolic Edict ends immediately, instead of continuing to damage nearby enemies for the remaining duration.
- When the illusion dies, Lightning Storm immediately stops bouncing.
- Although it can be toggled, Mana Shield does not work for illusions at all.
- Since the spell does not affect illusions, the casting illusion is not turned invisible.
- Illusions cannot cast this spell.
- Illusions cannot cast this spell.
- Only attack modifiers which work for the illusion can proc. This means Stifling Dagger cast by illusions can, for example, never bash.
- When the illusion dies or expires during Supernova, the Supernova does not end, continuing to damage and then stun enemies at the end.
- When the illusion dies, Fade Bolt immediately stops bouncing.
- When the illusion dies, Epicenter ends immediately, instead of continuing to release its pulses.
- Even though Greater Bash does not work for illusions, Charge of Darkness still applies the AoE bash.
- Even though Greater Bash does not work for illusions, Nether Strike still applies the AoE bash.
- Illusions cannot cast the blue Chakram.
- Illusions cannot cast this spell.
- Illusions cannot cast this spell.
- Illusions do not have the charge meter above them.
- When the illusion dies, Arc Lightning immediately stops bouncing.
Ability interactions
Most abilities treat illusions like regular heroes. However, some abilities have a different effect or interact in a different way with illusions. A few abilities do not affect illusions at all.
These abilities instantly destroy illusions when used on or against them:
1 Kills illusions on the first tick, not upon cast.
2 Requires Aghanims Shard.
These abilities treat illusions as creeps, instead of heroes:
- Abaddon – Borrowed Time aura
- Ancient Apparition – Ice Blast
- Bloodseeker – Thirst
- Lua error: Found no Cargo data for "Bloodstone - Mana Battery".
- Chen – Hand of God
- Dark Seer – Wall of Replica
- Earth Spirit – Rolling Boulder
- Enchantress – Enchant
- Guardian Greaves – Guardian Aura
- Lua error: Found no Cargo data for "Invoker - EMP".
- Io – Spirits
- Kunkka – Ghostship
- Mirana – Moonlight Shadow
- Nature's Prophet – Wrath of Nature
- Phoenix – Supernova1
- Pudge – Flesh Heap
- Pugna – Nether Ward1
- Riki – Tricks of the Trade
- Skywrath Mage – Concussive Shot
- Skywrath Mage – Mystic Flare
- Slark – Essence Shift
- Slark – Pounce
- Smoke of Deceit – Disguise
- Spectre – Haunt
- Undying – Decay
- Undying – Tombstone1
- Urn of Shadows – Soul Release
- Visage – Soul Assumption
- Witch Doctor – Paralyzing Cask
1 Illusions require the creep amount of attacks to destroy these, instead of the hero amount.
These abilities do not affect, cannot target, or do not work against illusions:
- Alchemist – Greevil's Greed1
- Alchemist – Aghanim's Scepter Synth2
- Broodmother – Spin Web2
- Necrophos – Heartstopper Aura
- Observer and Sentry Wards – Share Wards2
- Rubick – Spell Steal
- Shadow Fiend – Necromastery1
- Tango – Devour2
- Templar Assassin – Psi Blades
- Underlord – Atrophy Aura1
- Viper – Nethertoxin
1 These abilities ignore the death of illusions, so killing them does not make these abilities apply their effects (Attack damage from Atrophy Aura applies to illusions).
2 These abilities cannot target, or do not place their buffs or debuffs on illusions.
Finally, these abilities have different interactions with illusions. They either do not treat them as heroes, or apply different effects on them.
- Illusions do not provide any bounty when dying while tracked.
- Warpath places its buff/grants a stack to the caster and all illusions under the caster's control.
- Illusions deal 75% less damage against protected buildings, instead of 25% like any other unit. They also deal 60% less damage against unprotected buildings.
- Damages illusions, but does not count them for the damage and speed buff.
- Deals additional damage based on current health to illusions. Illusions are treated as creeps.
- Does not grant victory damage when defeating an illusion in a Duel.
- Does not drain mana from illusions.
- Grants 20 damage resistance against attacks from illusions.
- Does not steal intelligence from illusions, neither when they are attacked nor when they die.
- Deals damage against illusions on top of dispelling.
- Allied illusions cannot enter a Snowball. Only Tusk's own illusions can. Added illusions do not increase the damage.
