Leshrac's skills

Leshrac has four main skills and one additional skill with Aghanim's Scepter.

First skills named Split Earth. Leshrac will stamp his feet, bringing out thorns from the ground in an area of your choosing. Gives 120/180/240/300 magic damage and 2 second stun.

 

If you use Aghanim's Shard on Leshrac, Split Earth will appear 4 times with a larger area.

Second named Diabolic Edict. Leshrac will emit a small explosion around it. If there are enemies, the explosion will be under them and deal 7/14/21/28 damage puredamage per explosion.

 

The number of explosions can reach 40-65 pieces. This skill can penetrate Black King Bar (BKB) and can also attack buildings (Tower, Barracks, etc.)

Third skills named Lightning Storm. Leshrac will emit a bolt of lightning and will also strike nearby enemies. Gives 70/120/170/220 magic damage and Slow Movespeed 75% a maximum of one second.

 

 Nihilism is an additional skill if Leshrac has Aghanim's Scepter. Nihilism makes Leshrac and all enemies around him ethereal. Enemies don't attack or get attacked, move slowly, and receive an additional 30% magic damage and Slow Movespeed.

 

This effect only affects enemies, while Leshrac will get an additional 30% Move Speed.

Finally, the Ultimate from Leshrac named Pulse Nova is Toggled. Leshrac gives off an aura that gives 100/150/200 magic damage every one second to the surrounding enemies.

 

To activate it, Leshrac must spend 70 Mana. As long as it's active, every second, Leshrac will lose 25/45/65 Mana according to the skill level.

This skill cannot be interrupted by status silenced, disabled, or hidden. The way to make this skill die is simply by pressing the skill again or until Mana Leshrac runs out.

Reasons for Hero Dota 2 Leshrac to Be the Choice of TI 11 Pro Players

Just like the writer wrote the previous article about Earth Spirit, the writer rarely uses Leshrac. But after watching pro players play, the level of difficulty, and trying to unranked, it turns out that Leshrac is quite easy.

Before writing about the greatness of this hero, the writer wants to briefly convey his shortcomings. The only one deficiency the fatal thing is that Leshrac is a hero with base health thin, that's all.

Ok, back to the pros, here are some reasons why Leshrac is so good:

Stunners and Dealer Damage The good one

It's actually not that hard to find a damage dealer with crowd control good ones like Earthshaker, Lina, or Luna. But, Leshrac can be an excellent choice.

Stun AoE of the consistent Split Earth skill for two seconds makes it pretty good. Especially if you add Aghanim's Shard, it makes Split Earth appear four times with a larger area.

You can take advantage of this opportunity by issuing Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova. Then if he runs away, you can use Lightning Storm to slow down the enemy's path.

With this combo, as minimum as possible you can give 600-700 damage magic damage in the early game with 365-540 Mana.

You can also attack using basic attacks while using Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova.

Attacking Buildings

Only a few skills from Hero Dota 2 can injure Buildings such as Towers, Barracks, to Ancient. Examples include Mass Serpent Ward Shadow Shaman, Nether Blast Pugna, and Proximity Bomb Techies.

Attacking Buildings with skills is a plus point because it can easily destroy objectives. Apart from that, you can not only focus on buildings, but also attack enemies at the same time.

Diabolic Edict can also attack enemies even though you are in the Fog of War. With a rather far cast range, you can deal damage to enemy towers without being hit by their attacks behind the trees.

Reasons for Dota 2 Hero Leshrac Over Power at TI 11: Nihilism!

Yes, Nihilism is the best skill and is very useful for Leshrac and the team. With the enemy status being Ethereal, you and your teammates can give magic damage bigger.

If Decrepify Pugna, Death Seeker Necrophos, and Ethereal Blade are only for single targets, Nihilism works in the form of AoE. Every enemy around Leshrac's body will get this effect.

The first point is that enemies affected by this effect will become Ethereal and Disarm (cannot attack basic attack). Perfect for fighting Legion Commanders, Ursa, Troll Warlords, and other heroes DPS other.

The second point is that the enemy will move 30% slower and add 30% magic damage. Very suitable if you are a team with a hero magic damage dealers like Earthshaker, Lion, Lina, Snapfire.

Lastly, with Nihilism, Leshrac doesn't receive amplified damage and instead his movement speed increases. So only the status is Ethereum, Disarm, but will not receive additional damage spells!

Moreover, Leshrac is a hero who relies on skills rather than basic attacks. With Nihilism, you can chase enemies while using Lightning Storm and Pulse Nova. After that, you can use Split Earth to slow down the enemy's movement.
