Beatrix Snapfire, or simply Snapfire, is a ranged strength hero armed with a wide array of firepower, riding into battle on her dragon toad Mortimer. Her powerful Scatterblast blasts foes who get too close, while her mounted turret increases her range, allowing her to unleash a barrage of rapid fire attacks. Snapfire's coveted Firesnap Cookies give allies a boost, allowing them to leap a short distance. The cookies aren't her only secret weapon, as her dragon toad has the ultimate nasty surprise for the enemy team—a long range artillery barrage of Mortimer Kisses that coats the map in searing lava.

Bio

Snapfire minimap iconBeatrix Snapfire
▶️ "Beadie and Mortimer. We're kind of a package deal."
Beatrix Snapfire and her dragon toad Mortimer are a welcome sight to the ragged folk who scratch out lives along the desert routes and oases scattered throughout Nanarak, the rain-forsaken gateway to the Outlands.

As well known for her unrivaled skills as a weaponsmith as for dispensing wisdom, mirth, and the meanest firesnap cookies the world has ever seen, Beadie's survived to a ripe old age in a young keen's trade by being quick with her wits and even quicker with her guns.

Indeed, the Outlands are littered with the bones of bandits and ne'er-do-wells who thought to take advantage of her small stature and propensity for kindness.

  • With the travel distance and end radius, it can hit units up to 1200 range away.
    • The complete area is shaped like a cone.

  • Leveling up Scatterblast, or choosing the damage increasing Talent talent does not update the damage of an already launched instance.
  • With Aghanim's Shard icon Aghanim's Shard, Scatterblast deals 245/350/455/560 (Talent 251/356/461/566) damage to units within point-blank distance.
    • Also stuns for 0.3 seconds and knocks enemies 250 range back within the point-blank distance. Knocks back at a speed of 833.33.
    • The knockback destroys trees the enemies collide with.

With the help of a secret mixture that pairs Beadie's baking skills with her passion for black powder, these battle biscuits pack a punch.

  • ↓↓ Double-tapping automatically target self.
    • Has no cast backswing when cast on self.
  • The projectile travels at a speed of 1000.
  • Cannot be cast on allied units that are currently channeling. This includes self-casting.

  • During the jump, the target is fully disabled, unable to move, turn, attack or cast abilities or items.
  • Can jump over other units and over impassable terrain.

Beadie constantly tinkers with a design she first dreamed up plotting an exodus from her old gang.

  • Increases Snapfire's attack range to 575/650/725/800, and sets her base attack time to 1.
  • Sets Snapfire's damage to the given values. This means attack damage bonuses and reductions are completely ignored.
    • With the level 20 Talent talent, Lil' Shredder uses her regular attack damage, so that all bonuses and reductions now work.
    • Leveling up Lil' Shredder or choosing the level 20 Talent talent do not update the damage of an already existing instance from a previous cast.
  • An attack charge is lost whenever an attack is executed, regardless of outcome. This means missed attacks use up charges as well.
  • The number of charges left is visible on the buff icon.
  • Lil' Shredder uses a single debuff on the target. Following attacks increase its stack count.
    • A number on the icon reveals the amount of stacks. The number is visible to everyone.
    • Since only one debuff is used, each attack resets the duration of the entire stack.
  • The armor reduction is applied on any attacked target, including buildings and allies.
  • Can reduce a total of 4.5 armor with all 6 attacks.
  • The attacks first place the debuff, then apply their own damage.
  • Successive casts do not stack, but refresh the buff instead, resetting the amount of attacks and updating the range bonus.
  • With the multishot Talent talent, Snapfire performs instant attacks on different random targets within attack range whenever attacking during Lil' Shredder.
    • These instant attacks can proc any attack modifiers and on-hit effects normally. They do not have True Strike, and are affected by disarms.
    • The secondary attacks have no target priorities. They simply choose random valid targets within range.

  • Can be cast on any unit, except for enemy heroes and creep-heroes.
    • Cannot be cast on allies who have Disabled Help from Snapfire.
  • Disjoints projectiles for the target unit upon cast.
  • During Gobble Up, the unit is periodically moved to Snapfire's current position. This periodic movement cannot be interrupted.
    • This means their auras are effectively bestowed around Snapfire until spat out.
  • The unit is automatically released after 3 seconds if not manually spat out.
    • If the unit is not a hero or a clone, it gets instantly killed upon getting released.
    • Targeted non-hero units also get their ownership changed to that of the caster, meaning its death counts as a deny.
  • Swallowing a unit turns this ability inactive and turns the Spit Out icon Spit Out sub-ability active.
    • This ability stays inactive until the unit is released, either by timing out, by using the sub-ability, or by the caster dying.

  • This ability stays inactive until Gobble Up icon Gobble Up is cast and turns inactive again once the targeted unit is spat out in any way.
  • The swallowed unit serves as projectile, and gets moved in an arc towards the targeted point.
  • The projectile has a minimum travel time of 0.6, and a maximum travel time of 2 seconds. While in the air, other units can pass below it.
  • Upon landing, the unit deals the impact damage and leaves a lava puddle behind. The puddle lasts 3 seconds.
    • The impact damage equals the one of Mortimer Kisses icon Mortimer Kisses, based on its current level.
    • The puddle applies the debuff on enemies in 0.5 second intervals, starting immediately as it is created, resulting in 7 instances.
    • The debuff lasts 1 second, and deals 50 damage in 0.5 second intervals, starting immediately upon being placed, resulting in 3 instances.
    • Can deal a total of 630/720/810 damage, considering impact damage, and standing within the puddle for the full duration.
    • Multiple instances of the debuff do not stack.
    • Since Spit Out and Mortimer Kisses icon Mortimer Kisses use the same modifer, they do not stack, with the damage from the first applied debuff taking priority.
  • The impact first applies the damage, then the stun.
  • The projectile provides 500 radius flying vision as it travels. This vision lingers for 3.5 seconds at the impact area.
  • Destroys trees within a 150 radius upon landing.

Little did Beadie know when she adopted Mortimer, dragon toads--which aren't even toads at all--share more than just a name with their distant draconic cousins.

  • The projectiles have a minimum travel time of 0.8, maximum travel time of 2 seconds, and a projectile speed of 1300.
    • This means up to 1625 range, the speed adapts to lower values, and for distance starting at 2600, the speed adapts to higher values.
  • For better readability, the turn rate during Mortimer Kisses is given as degrees per second, instead of radians per 0.03 seconds.
    • 75° per second equal a turn rate of 0.039.
  • Mortimer Kisses is canceled if Snapfire gets stunned, silenced, cycloned, hexed, slept, feared, or hypnotized.
    • Taunts prevent Snapfire from changing locations for the globs, but do not cancel it.
    • Mortimer Kisses can also be stopped manually by giving Snapfire any other order besides moving.
  • The location for the globs can be changed with a move order (Keyboard White Mouse Right Right Click or M).
    • Although reducing turn rate a lot while active, the globs are launched where the order was targeted, they are not launched based on facing angle.
  • Snapfire is disarmed during Mortimer Kisses. Attack orders behave like move orders during disarms, so right-clicking an enemy sets a new location as well.
  • The destination for each glob is marked with a red circle indicator, which is visible to allies only.
  • Launches globs in 0.75-second (Talent 0.429-second) intervals, starting immediately upon cast, resulting in 8 (Talent 14) globs.
  • Each glob deals the impact damage and leaves a lava puddle behind. The puddles last 3 seconds.
    • The puddles apply the debuff on enemies in 0.5 second intervals, starting immediately as they are created, resulting in 7 instances.
    • The debuff lasts 1 second, and deals 25/37.5/50 damage in 0.5 second intervals, starting immediately upon being placed, resulting in 3 instances.
    • Multiple instances of the debuff do not stack.
  • A single glob can deal a total of 385/577.5/770 damage, considering impact damage, and standing within the puddle for the full duration.
  • Provides 275 radius flying vision at the current targeted location for the globs, lasting until Mortimer stops launching projectiles.
  • The projectiles provide 500 radius flying vision as they travel. This vision lingers for 3.5 seconds at the impact area.
  • Leveling up Mortimer Kisses does not update the impact damage of already launched globs to the new level.
    • However, the lava puddles are updated to apply the debuff with the new level's value.
    • Already placed debuffs are not updated to the new level.
  • The movement speed slow increasing Talent talent immediately upgrades all existing puddles to the new value.
    • However, already placed debuffs are not updated.

Gameplay

The plucky Keen known as Beatrix Snapfire has survived to venerable old age in the harsh deserts of Nanarak, owing to her ingenious craftsmanship, and overwhelming firepower. Mounted on her dragon toad Mortimer, she dispenses Scatterblasts and Firesnap Cookies alike, while shooting down targets with barrages from Lil' Shredder, her mounted turret. For extremely distant enemies, Mortimer serves as Beatrix's artillery, issuing gobs of firespit from his gullet to cover the battlefield in pools of flame.
