Notes:

• Successive attacks with Orb of Corrosion do not stack the debuff, but refresh the duration instead.

• The attacks first apply the debuff, then their own damage.

• If both melee and ranged hero with Orb of Corrosion attack the same target, the values of the first applied debuff is used and refreshed.

• Deals damage in 1-second intervals, starting 1 second after the debuff is applied, resulting in 3 instances.
  • Can deal up to 9 damage (before reductions).

• The damage from Corrosion is direct HP Removal, so it does not trigger any on-damage effects.

• Works against buildings and allied units. Does not work against wards.

• Does not stack with the slow and damage over time of Poison Attack.
  • If both debuffs are present, Orb of Venom's debuff does not slow or deal damage.

• Does not stack with the armor reduction of Lesser Corruption.
  • If both debuffs are present, Blight Stone's debuff does not reduce armor.

Recommended Heroes

• Melee heroes that naturally buy Orb of Venom and rely on physical damage:
  • Bounty Hunter
  • Lone Druid
  • Monkey King
  • Night Stalker
  • Pangolier
  • Tusk

Others

• Also works very well on Abaddon, as it has very good synergy with his passive Curse of Avernus
• Does really well when combined with Lifestealer's Ghoul Frenzy and Rage
• Great synergy between the item and Slardar's skills Slithereen Crush which stuns and also slows, Bash of the Deep which stuns and Corrosive Haze, which also lowers armor. Since Slithereen Crush and Bash of the Deep do Physical damage, Slardar benefits from the additional armor reduction.
