Modifiers

modifier_lone_druid_spirit_link

Any

• This ability got reworked into the current Spirit Link in the 7.23 gameplay patch.

• Interrupts Lone Druid's channeling spells upon cast.

• The buff is always placed on the Spirit Bear as well, no matter where it is.
  • The Spirit Bear has to be alive while Spirit Link is cast in order to be affected by it.
  • This also means that, when the Spirit Bear dies while under the effect of Spirit Link, the buff on the Spirit Bear is fully lost.
  • However, when Lone Druid dies while having Aghanim's Scepter, the buff on the Spirit Bear are not lost.

• Buffs the Spirit Bear even when it's invulnerable or hidden.

• The heal works like lifesteal, with the difference being the attacking unit does not get healed.
  • Attack damage dealt by the Spirit Bear heals Lone Druid and vice versa.
  • Only heals from attack damage. Spell damage does not trigger the lifesteal.

• The visual effect on cast only appears when the Spirit Bear is within 1500 range of Lone Druid.
