Notes:
- Successive attacks with Orb of Venom do not stack, but refresh the duration instead.
- The attacks first apply the debuff, then their own damage.
- When a melee and a ranged hero with Orb of Venoms attack one target, the slow 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 2 instances.
- Can deal up to 4 damage (before reductions).
- The damage from Poison Attack is flagged as HP Removal, so it does not trigger any on-damage effects.
- Does not stack with the slow and damage over time of Orb of Corrosion. If both debuffs are present, Orb of Venom's debuff does not slow or deal damage.
- Fully stacks with any other item.
Recommended Heroes[]
- Orb of Venom is generally picked up by melee heroes who intend to harass in lane.
- Phantom Assassin can also poison enemies through Stifling Dagger
- Melee heroes without reliable lockdowns can also opt for an Orb of Venom.
Trivia[]
