Ghostship

Summons a ghostship to cut a swath through battle, causing damage and stuns to enemy units as it crashes through. Allies are doused in Kunkka's Rum, receiving bonus movement speed and a delayed reaction to damage.

BIO

As The Admiral of the mighty Claddish Navy, Kunkka was charged with protecting the isles of his homeland when the demons of the Cataract made a concerted grab at the lands of men. After years of small sorties, and increasingly bold and devastating attacks, the demon fleet flung all its carnivorous ships at the Trembling Isle. Desperate, the Suicide-Mages of Cladd committed their ultimate rite, summoning a host of ancestral spirits to protect the fleet. Against the demons, this was just barely enough to turn the tide. As Kunkka watched the demons take his ships down one by one, he had the satisfaction of wearing away their fleet with his ancestral magic. But at the battle's peak, something in the clash of demons, men and atavistic spirits must have stirred a fourth power that had been slumbering in the depths. The waves rose up in towering spouts around the few remaining ships, and Maelrawn the Tentacular appeared amid the fray. His tendrils wove among the ships, drawing demon and human craft together, churning the water and wind into a raging chaos. What happened in the crucible of that storm, none may truly say. The Cataract roars off into the void, deserted by its former denizens. Kunkka is now The Admiral of but one ship, a ghostly rig which endlessly replays the final seconds of its destruction. Whether he died in that crash is anyone's guess. Not even Tidehunter, who summoned Maelrawn, knows for sure.

BIO

Born to a royal family, a blood princess next in line for the Solar Throne, Mirana willingly surrendered any claim to mundane land or titles when she dedicated herself completely to the service of Selemene, Goddess of the Moon. Known ever since as Princess of the Moon, Mirana prowls the sacred Nightsilver Woods searching for any who would dare poach the sacred luminous lotus from the silvery pools of the Goddess's preserve. Riding on her enormous feline familiar, she is poised, proud and fearless, attuned to the phases of the moon and the wheeling of the greater constellations. Her bow, tipped with sharp shards of lunar ore, draws on the moon's power to charge its arrows of light.

Nevermore the Shadow Fiend is a ranged agility Hero possessing abilities that inflict superb burst damage from varying distances. Whether near or far, Shadow Fiend is able to release incredible offensive power, both physical and magical. Shadow Fiend's true power comes from the souls he takes, thus, he is more dangerous every time he kills. With enough souls, he can release all of the captured souls in a devastating burst, dealing more damage to enemies that are closer to him. Shadow Fiend is a carry who is powerful at all stages of the game, a trait something most carries don't have. He can harass and conquer early game, set out and kill unsuspecting Heroes during the mid stages, and unleash more power and dominate other Heroes late game.

Due to Nevermore's versatility as a carry Hero, it is possible for him to dominate the opposing team at any point. However, his strong dependence on good last hitting and positioning of his skills may prove to be problematic for new players; without those, he is entirely useless. Not to mention, he is fairly squishy and has no natural escape mechanisms, making it easy for new players to die and lose those hard earned souls. A good Nevermore player knows the dangers of each skill an opponent has; newer players might be oblivious to impending doom, and can easily make mistakes. Once a few deaths pile up, his role as a carry can be easily lost, causing Nevermore to become deadweight. He is recommended for high-intermediate to advanced players with a supporting team.

[edit]Bio

Nevermore, the Shadow Fiend "It's now or Nevermore." Role: Carry / Nuker Lore: It is said that Shadow Fiend has the soul of a poet, and in fact he has thousands of them. Over the ages he has claimed the souls of poets, priests, emperors, beggars, slaves, philosophers, criminals and (naturally) heroes; no sort of soul escapes him. What he does with them is unknown. No one has ever peered into the Abysm whence Shadow Fiend reaches out like an eel from among astral rocks. Does he devour them one after another? Does he mount them along the halls of an eldritch temple, or pickle the souls in necromantic brine? Is he merely a puppet, pushed through the dimensional rift by a demonic puppeteer? Such is his evil, so intense his aura of darkness, that no rational mind may penetrate it. Of course, if you really want to know where the stolen souls go, there's one sure way to find out: Add your soul to his collection. Or just wait for Nevermore. Voice: Responses

[edit]Abilities

Shadowraze Q/W/E Z*/X*/C* Ability Damage No Target Magical Shadow Fiend razes the area in front of him, dealing damage to enemy units in an area. Range: 200(Q)/450(W)/700(E) Radius: 250 Damage: 75/150/225/300  10  75 Nevermore's trademark for harvesting souls.

Notes: When Shadowraze is learned, three independent skills will be given to Shadow Fiend, each one generating a Shadowraze at a specific distance in front of him.

Necromastery D N Ability Passive Shadow Fiend steals the soul from units he kills, gaining bonus damage. If the killed unit is a hero, he gains 6 souls. On death, he releases half of them from bondage. Maximum souls: 12/20/28/36 Bonus damage per soul: 2 Harvested souls swirl in and out of the Abysm, empowering the Shadow Fiend to increase the size of his collection.

Notes: Denies, neutral creeps, and buildings also provide bonus damage through Necromastery. The soul (with its 500 movement speed) must reach Nevermore before providing its bonus damage. The more souls Shadow Fiend has, the more powerful Requiem of Souls will be.

Presence of the Dark Lord F P Ability Affects Aura Enemies Shadow Fiend's presence reduces the armor of nearby enemies. Radius: 900 Armor Reduction: 2/3/4/5 Even being near Nevermore eats away at one's soul.

Notes: Fully stacks with other armor reduction abilities and auras (like Amplify Damage,Gush, etc.).

Requiem of Souls R R Ability Damage No Target Magical Captured souls are released to deal massive damage, as well as slowing and reducing the attack damage of nearby enemy units. Requiem of Souls creates one wave of damage for every 2 souls stored by Necromastery. The closest enemy units are hit the hardest. Requiem has a 1 second cast time before it is activated. Damage Radius: 1375/1425/1475 Damage Per Line: 80/120/160 Slow Radius: 700 Slow Duration: 5 Slow and Attack Damage Reduction: 15%/20%/25%  120/110/100  150/175/200  Starts cooldown but spell is in no way blocked. The captured souls of those past slain are released to ravage their former allies.

Notes: The amount of damage dealt is related to the number of souls captured with Necromastery. Requiem of Souls generates damaging lines around Nevermore, 1 per 2 souls stored, for a maximum of 18 lines. The closer the targeted unit is, the greater the number of lines hit it. Reduces both movement speed and attack damage of units in a 675 radius. This ability can give full damage if Shadow Fiend is in the very centre of the body of the enemy by using Shadow Blade or Phase Boots. This ability breaks invisibility a short time before it's released. When using Shadow Blade Shadow Fiend will not get revealed during the cast time. (Does not work with "Invisibility Rune")

[edit]Recommended Items

[hide] v • d • e Recommended Items Starting       Early-game     Core    Situational

Explanation: Slippers and branches add much needed damage for a better last hit, while the healing items are simply there in case of harass. Nevermore cannot function well at the middle lane if someone else has not bought a courier; if you have to buy it yourself, then do so. Magic Stick, Treads, and Wraith Bands are fairly obvious choices; getting a Magic Stick takes priority over the other two, however, as the extra burst mana and health is crucial for razes. Your first true core is either going to be Blink Dagger/Shadow Blade versus Black King Bar, both a matter of situation. A Blink Dagger/Shadow Blade allows Nevermore to gank easier, and also creating an early escape mechanism and mobility tool. However, the Immunity status granted from BKB allows uninterrupted razes and Requiem of Soul, provided you don't get stunned or ensnared. It also allows for easier tower pushes. Which order you purchase them is determined by your judgement of the situation. If your farm is going well, and if armor reduction synergizes with your team, (such as Dazzle's Weave) consider an early Desolator for extreme amounts of damage; this also means skilling Presence of the Dark Lord instead of getting stats after Level 11 as well. Assault Curiass, Monkey King Bar, and Butterfly are common items for Agility Carries, adding damage and increased attack speed. Consider a Manta Style as well.

[edit]Tips

• Blink Dagger is usually built to help position your Ultimate and Razes, as well as add an escape/chasing mechanism. Shadow Bladeis an easier to build, and simpler alternative, but lacks the instant initiation like a blink dagger will do; it is also countered with invisibility detection.
• Shadow Raze and Necromastery should be maxed before skilling Requiem, as the first one is your main nuke and Requiem doesnt do much damage without full souls.
• While laning, try to use Shadow Raze to harass your opponent as well as kill creeps.
• If you get killed, you can easily restore your souls by razing jungle creep camps or razing/denying lane creeps.
• Always fill up your souls as soon as possible and avoid dying by all means.
• In team fights, after you get Dagger, let someone else initiate and blink in and Requiem when the enemies are crumpled up.

[edit]Trivia

• Shadow Fiend's alternate/fun name in Dota Allstars was "YaphetS", name of a professional Dota player and a legendary user of Nevermore.
• Voice responses between Shadow Fiend, Shadow Demon and Doom Bringer suggests that SF was once a servant or pet of the two
