Leshrac, the Tormented Soul, is a ranged intelligence hero who is known for his ability to put out a tremendous amount of area magical damage. His array of spells makes him a dangerous foe to stand around, as he can disable and nuke down anyone who dares to stand against him. Split Earth is an area stun that, after a delay, will stun all enemies in its radius while dealing damage. Diabolic Edict is a damage-over-time spell that deals physical damage, corroding all enemies near Leshrac. Unlike most other spells, it can also affect buildings, making Leshrac a very powerful tower killer who can push very effectively. Lightning Storm is a targeted nuke that damages and slows enemies as it jumps from foe to foe, easily clearing away creeps. His ultimate, Pulse Nova, deals magical damage in an area around Leshrac while it is active, making short work of nearby enemies. Few can withstand Leshrac's damage output, as all of his spells combined allow him to scour his foes from the battlefield.

Bio[edit]
Leshrac, the Tormented Soul▶️ "Imbalance demands it."
Lore:
Leshrac, Tormented Soul, is an entity torn from the heart of nature, a liminal being that exists half in one plane of existence, half in another. His penetrating intelligence is such that he can never ignore for a moment the agonizing horror at the heart of all creation. Once a great philosopher who sought the meaning of existence, he plumbed the depths of nature with the haunted Chronoptic Crystals, and was forever altered by the hideous mysteries thereby revealed to him. Now the darkest depths of his enlightenment are illumined only by the fitful glare of his arrogance. Like other elemental characters, he is completely at one with nature, but in his case it is a nature lurid and vile. He alone sees the evil truth of reality, and has no use for those who believe the cosmos reserves a special reward for those who practice benevolence.

modifier_leshrac_diabolic_edict: Dispellable with death only.Chronoptic energy bursts from one plane to the other, evaporating anything it touches.
Notes:
- Diabolic Edict's radius is centered on and follows Leshrac.
- Randomly selects nearby valid units for each explosion. There are no priorities.
- Fully affects invisible units and units in the Fog of War.
- When no valid targets are nearby, the explosions randomly appear within a square with 500 side length. These random explosions deal no damage.

Attempts to damage if enemy turns spell immune during the delay. Slow persists if debuff was placed before spell immunity and when not dispelled.
Blocked fully only when primary target.Modifiers
modifier_leshrac_lightning_storm_scepter_thinker: Undispellable. Persists death. modifier_leshrac_lightning_storm: Undispellable. Persists death. modifier_leshrac_lightning_storm_slow: Dispellable with any dispel.The Tormented Soul's mastery of the elements is evident in the massive storms that strike down armies before him.
Notes:
- The lightning hits the initial target after the 0.25-second effect delay and then jumps to other targets in 0.25-second intervals, so hitting all targets takes 1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds.
- Because of the effect delay, the initial lightning can be avoided with spell immunity, invulnerability, or becoming hidden. However, this does not prevent it from jumping.
- Does not bounce on invisible units, or units in the Fog of War.
- Can never hit the same unit twice per cast.
- All jumps together can deal up to 360/780/1360/2100 ( 760/1380/2160/3100) damage (before reductions).
- Lightning Storm first applies the damage, then the debuff.
- The lightning storm buff is a hidden buff required for the lightning to jump.

Recommended items[edit]
Starting items:
- Tango sustains health to stay in lane.
- Healing Salve restores large amount of health.
- Clarity restores mana. In the early game, having mana to use Split Earth more frequently can help with setting up kills for your team. Later on, the item keeps his mana up so he can spend more time on the map as opposed to the fountain.
- Observer Ward establishes vision of enemy movements, saving your team from getting ganked or planning your own.
- Null Talisman gives intelligence to use abilities as well as some damage to last hit.
Early game:
- Magic Stick gives burst health and mana to help frail Leshrac use abilities.
- Boots of Speed provide movement speed boost for Leshrac to position and chase with Disbolic Edict.
- Bottle helps with sustain and storing runes for the right occasions.
- Wind Lace also gives movement speed bonus for cheap, later build to Eul's Scepter of Divinity.
- Infused Raindrops offers mana regeneration for cheap and absorbs some magical damage.

Mid game:
- Arcane Boots sustains mana to Leshrac and teammates, and can disassemble later on for Bloodstone or Aether Lens.
- Magic Wand provides attributes and increased charge storage for more burst restoration.
- Bloodstone increases health, mana, and mana regeneration to help Leshrac use abilities often. The active heal may keep Leshrac alive long enough to escape or ditch out damage for kills.

- Kaya boosts intelligence and spell damage, while decreasing the mana cost of abilites and items so Leshrac can use them more often.
Late game:
- Octarine Core raises health and mana for sustainability. Cooldown Reduction and Spell Lifesteal allows Leshrac to constantly use abilities while keeping himself healthy. However, you may need a large mana pool or regeneration to make the most out of this item.
- Shiva's Guard enhances Leshrac's survivability against physical attacks with armor and attack speed slow aura, while also increasing his intelligence. Use Arctic Blast to slow enemy movement speed and keep them within range of Pulse Nova.
Situational items:
- Urn of Shadows provides a little bit of attributes, armor, and mana regeneration; its charges from fallen enemies can heal or deal damage depending on targets.
- Phase Boots grants great movement speed boost to position, as well as chase or flee with Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova.
- Drum of Endurance provides attributes, and movement speed to position in ganks.
- Aether Lens increases mana and mana regeneration; the higher cast range allows Leshrac to use abilities and items while keeping a safe distance from dangerous foes.
- Veil of Discord gives survivability through attributes and armor, while the active ability reduces enemy magic resistance, helping Leshrac's and teammates' abilities deal more magical damage.
- Blink Dagger grants exceptional positioning for surprise Split Earth, also useful to keep up with targets of Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova.
- Force Staff grants ability to reposition any heroes in the game, pushing allies to favorable locations while moving enemies into your abilities.
- Glimmer Cape protects Leshrac and allies with invisibility and magic resistance, an item for escape but you can use it to initiate with Split Earth as well.
- Boots of Travel allow Leshrac to teleport globally to join ganks and pushes. Furthermore, the enhanced movement speed lets Leshrac chase down almost any enemy targets.
- Rod of Atos gives attributes and a root to set up Split Earth at long range.
- Black King Bar grants strength and spell immunity, enabling Leshrac to run rampant through the enemy ranks without fear of disables and magical bursts.
- Lotus Orb bolsters defense with armor, regeneration, and Echo Shell that reflects spells back to enemies.
- Linken's Sphere gives attributes, regeneration, and spellblock that protects against unit-targeted abilities occasionally.
- Scythe of Vyse grants attributes, intelligence, and mana regeneration to let Leshrac use more abilities. The active Hex disables a dangerous target and set up for Split Earth.
- Aghanim's Scepter allows Leshrac to essentially decrepify nearby enemies, slowing them and boosting the damage of his abilities.
- Guardian Greaves restores health and mana to allies, while removing debuffs from Leshrac that may hinder his abilities; furthermore, the aura armor and health regeneration works better on heroes at low HP.
Gameplay[edit]
| Roles: | Carry Support Nuker Pusher Disabler |
|---|---|
| Complexity: | ★☆☆ |
| Playstyle: | Once a worldly philosopher, the hideous truth at the heart of existence twisted Leshrac into the vile being he is today. The Split Earth beneath his hooves opens to consume the unsuspecting, while Lightning Storms strike down entire fields of foes. He pronounces a Diabolic Edict, saturating the air with bouts of magical explosions. Warping the structure of spacetime, Leshrac emits a continuous Pulse Nova, disintegrating nearby foes without ever lifting a finger. |

- The name Leshrac comes from a Planeswalker from the Magic: the Gathering multiverse.
- Diabolic Edict is the name of an iconic black card in that game; much like the Dota 2 spell, the Magic card was more effective when there were fewer targets, as your opponent got to choose which target got hit.
