Able to captivate and disable enemies with her song.
Once a highly regarded commander of the Slithereen Guard, Slithice fell from honor following a seemingly trivial oversight. She was to find the one stolen chalice, or remain banished forever. Slithice splits a squad of Mirror Images, sending them to scout ahead and mislead foes. She Ensnares targets in a luminous net, then lashes out with Rip Tides to soften their armor. With the sound of her voice, the enemy halts in mid-swing, lowering their weapons at the sound of a haunting aria. There they will stand, mesmerized, unresponsive to Slithice's encircling allies as they listen to the Siren's Song that has lulled them to their deaths.

Bio

Slithice, the Naga Siren

▶️ "I sing the Siren song of war."

Lore:

Among the high-sworn of the Slithereen Guard there is a solemn vow oft repeated before battle: No Slithereen may fail. In truth, these words are equal parts oath and enforceable covenant, for those who fall short of their duty are banished from the order. To fail is to be other than Slithereen.

Once most highly esteemed of her race, Slithice for many years commanded a battalion of her fellows, using her formidable voice as her greatest weapon. Powerful, sinuous, serpentine, she led her deadly Guard in defense of the Deep Ones, and the great wealth of the sunken cities. But in the final battle of Crey, her forces were driven back by a marauding army of levianths intent on finding tribute for their god Maelrawn. After the long and bloody onslaught, as the bodies were cleared from the sunken halls, a single jeweled chalice was found missing from the trove. Of her hundred Guard, only a handful survived, but their bravery and sacrifice were of little consequence. What mattered was that treasure was taken. Honor destroyed. And so Naga Siren was cast out. Banished to search for the stolen chalice. Though she might add a hundred times her weight to the golden trove, she is doomed to live apart until that day she returns that which was taken. For no amount of gold is equal in honor to the honor she lost.

Slithice, while being strong in her own right, is notoriously hard to track down.

• Applies a basic dispel on Naga Siren and disjoints projectiles upon cast.

• Naga Siren is invulnerable, hidden and spell immune during the split time.

• After the 0.3 seconds split time, Naga Siren reappears with her illusions.
  • The reappear locations are based on Naga Siren's position upon cast, with one appearing at the cast location, and the others north, east, south or west from that point.
  • This means when spawning 3 illusions, the formation is T-shaped and when spawning 4 illusions, it is shaped like a plus.
  • The distance in between each is 72 range.
  • Though the formation is always the same, Naga Siren and her illusions take a random position in the formation and have all the same facing angle.

• Orders the caster to stop after the split time, canceling all queued orders, and orders given during the split time.
  • Also stops all ongoing targeted orders of other units that have been issued before Mirror Image was cast.

• Recasting Mirror Image replaces the illusions from the previous cast, no matter under whose control they are.

The only way to escape the onslaught of a Slithereen is to never oppose one in the first place.

• The net travels at a speed of 1500.

• Roots the target, preventing it from moving and casting certain mobility abilities.
  • Provides True Sight over the target.

• All illusions owned by Naga Siren within 900 range of the target also cast a fake Ensnare.
  • They play the whole cast animation and release their fake nets at the same time the real net is released.
  • When illusions currently are not having any order and are standing still, they turn to face the target and cast the fake nets.
  • When illusions are moving or attacking, they continue to do so and do not turn to face the target. They still play the cast animation, overriding their move or attack animations.
  • When canceling the cast, the illusions still play the full cast animation, but do not release the fake nets.
  • The fake nets do not interact with anything and do not root.

• With Aghanim's Scepter, Ensnare can be cast on and fully affect any invulnerable unit, not just sleeping units.

Rip Tide

Ability
Passive

Affects
Enemies

Damage
Magical

Every 6 attack from naga and her illusions, the Naga Siren and her images will hit all nearby units with a damaging wave of water that lowers armor for 4 seconds.

Required Hits: 6 ( -14)

Radius: 300

Damage: 40/45/50/55 ( 65/70/75/80)

Armor Reduction: 2/4/6/8 ( 3/5/7/9)

Duration: 4

 Move Speed Slow: 20%

Aghanim's Shard Upgrade:

Slows enemy movement speed when the counter reaches its required hits.

Illusion Notes:

If the illusion was stolen or created by an allied or enemy ability (i.e. if the owning hero does not have this ability), the illusions have independent attack counters.

Rip Tide is only applied around heroes and illusions that have this ability.

A torrent from the Deep Ones crushes the defenses of the Siren's enemies.

• Each successful attack performed by Naga Siren or her illusions applies the attack counter buff on Naga Siren.
  • If the buff is already present, its stack count gets increased instead.
  • Counts attacks against any enemy unit except for buildings.
  • Does not count attacks from units that do not have this ability (e.g. illusions of Shadow Demon created by reflecting Disruption).
  • The counter buff has no duration and last indefinitely.

• When the counter reaches 6 ( -14), Rip Tide's effects are applied around all units under Naga Siren's control that have this ability, and the counter buff is removed.

• Enemies may only be hit by one instance, even when within range of multiple Rip Tides. Neither the damage nor the debuff stack.

• The damage source of all Rip Tides is the unit that performed the triggering attack, meaning on-damage effects react on the unit that triggered it (e.g. Blade Mail).

• Rip Tide first applies the armor reduction debuff, the slow debuff, then the Rip Tide damage, and then the attack damage.

• The armor reduction increasing talent does not update already placed debuffs.
  • Already placed debuffs update their values only when refreshed.

Slithice's powerful voice enchants leagues of opponents, while calling her Slithereen kin in a time of need.

• Applies a sleep on affected units, preventing them from acting, until woken up.

• Affected units are invulnerable while sleeping.

• Song of the Siren's radius is centered on Naga Siren for the full duration, so if she moves far enough away from affected units, they wake up.

• The sleep is provided by an aura. Its debuff lingers for 0.4 seconds.

• Song of the Siren cannot be interrupted. Only Naga Siren's death or the Song of the Siren End sub-ability can stop it.
  • However, silencing Naga Siren prevents her from manually stopping the song with the sub-ability.

• Does not affect Roshan, wards or hidden units. Does affect buildings.
  • Does not affect invulnerable units either, unless their invulnerability is provided by Song of the Siren.

• With Aghanim's Shard, a second aura is provided by Naga Siren, which increases the health regeneration of allies within range.
  • The aura uses the same values radius and linger duration as the aura that affects enemies.
  • Affects invulnerable, but not hidden allies. Does not affect buildings or wards.
  • Can regenerate up to 37% of an ally's max health over its full duration.

Sub-ability of Song of the Siren.

• Replaces Song of the Siren until the sub-ability is used or the song duration ends.

• Song of the Siren End interrupts Naga Siren's channeling abilities on cast.

• Goes into a 1-second cooldown right after Song of the Siren is cast, this is to prevent accidental double-casts prematurely ending the ability.

• When cast, enemies wake up after the aura's 0.4-second linger duration.

Trivia

• The DotA Naga Siren from Warcraft universe sports the same weapons as Slithice, the only difference being that the DotA version had one weapon, and four arms, while the Dota 2 has two weapons and two arms.
• Song of the Siren's ▶️ sound is based on this ▶️ voice line of Naga Siren. Whether there is an extended version of that line or if the rest of the song was manually put together is unknown.
