Move Speed Slow (Melee): 13%
Move Speed Slow (Ranged): 4%
Damage per Second: 2
Duration: 2
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.
- If both melee and ranged hero with Venom 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 2 instances.
- Can deal up to 4 damage (before reductions).
- The damage from Poison Attack is direct HP Removal, so it does not trigger any on-damage effects.
- Does not stack with the slow and damage over time of Corrosion.
- If both debuffs are present, Orb of Venom's debuff does not slow or deal damage.
Recommended Heroes[]
