• Skill Synergy
• Item Synergy
• Hero Synergy
  

+ = As the orb will expand literally, the orb will certainly hit enemy units. With her Demonic Spark, Prowess can create a pseudo-disable skill where she can stun the opponents within the affected area. Well, this combination can be used ti initiate any mega spell like Black Hole and so on.

+ = Orbs can be used to farm/harass the enemy units. With such a short CD, she can keep harassing and harassing, thus for sure the creeps will die. When the creeps die, they will burst, set aflame on the ground, and prolong the harassing process.

+ = Orbs and Hellbringer's Ballet will ensure Prowess to deal massive damage. With the orbs keeps expanding, while the fire wave keeps been released, Prowess is sure can clear any massive creep wave, and easily lowers the her opponent's HP.

+ = Demonic Spark and Pyro Curse is a great combination as to ensure Prowess can cast her spell effectively. The stun from Demonic Spark can help Prowess to cast her Hellbringer's Ballet as it is a channeling spell. Besides, the damage from both skills can help her being a good DPS-er.

+ + + = All of these spells is too good to be combined. As you can see, all of her skills synergizes very perfect, and thus making her as one of possible best INT Ganker/Caster/DPS-er hero.

Possible item for Prowess to get are as below:
1. Black King Bar/Lothar/Linken Sphere - These item is possible item or maybe one of the core for Prowess as she got channeling nuke ultimate. She gonna gets herself immune to stun or whatsoever in order to deal max damage from her ulti.

2. Bloodstone/Heart of Tarrasque/Vanguard - Prowess have low STR and STR gain. She gonna need some HP booster item as to enable herself to tank some damage. Besides, her ulti need a close range with her enemies, thus a bit HP can help her to do that.

3. Orchid Malevolence/Giunsoo - What more can we ask? The amazing mana regen that you can get from these items is great to keep Prowess spam her spell.

4. Radiance/Shiva's Guard - More AOE damage? You're welcome then.

5. Kellen Dagger of Escape - Its all about ulti's placement, baby and help you to escape effectively too.

[PuЪLiㄷEиəℳy#1]

3rd skill's icon is very much subjected to Parental Guidance
The icon looks sexy but the model looks like an old hag...

If she was revived by Lich King, why is her affiliation classified as Sentinel?

Aside from these, I think I'll give you a T-UP...

[Lotus V Eater]

aaahhh sorry, FORGOT to edit that...LoL...

thanks for the T-UP!!

[cp14]

I have a question? does the ultimate trigger your stun?

Although i fail to see synergies (literally there are no words in synergy sectionLOL) I could imagine this hero as a powerful AoE Leshrac like hero. She uses her 1st skill for some ranged nuking and and for triggering both 2nd skill and 3rd skill. Ultimate is powerful although it has the major disadvantage of being close ranged making it pretty balanced, also 1st and 2nd skill can be used to keep enemy in place jut enough time to get in ulti range. IMO her strength gain is small considering that she needs to get close to use her ultimate. Nice bitchy model though.

all of the disadvantages thingy is just to balance her ultimate...

thanks...XD
anything else?

[Nizaris]

This hero remind me of Druid and Necromancer in Diablo 2.

Skill 1 Volcanic Rock is so similar Druid Molten Magma

Skill 3 Pyro Curse is similar with Necromancer's Corpse Explosion but in different application..

Her ultimate mana cost is too high.

ARE YOU LIKE REALLY2 SURE? Too high? Then you better look at Lina's ultimate...how many mana does she use to cast her Laguna Blade?

Thanks for the short review...XD

[Averrios]

I will leave the blances away, because I was never good with that xD

So now Skill 1-4 are simply fine and awesome ^^ have a good synergie and act very cool together

she could be a Agi though ^^ ... a ganker dpser and carry ... PvP Hero

T-Up I see nothing to improve here

[Lotus V Eater]

actually she gonna be that agility bitch during late game coz she earn AGI as her secondary attribute. ahahaha

are you sure that my Prowess doesn't have anything else to tweak or edit? then i ask someone to make a testmap then...(as i think she gonna be awesome in real game) hahaha joking!!

[Averrios]

Balancing is here a bit too difficult for me, ask TLG or another guy for that ^^

[Lotus V Eater]

hurmmm maybe i will ask Sgt.Failure or NoTHlnG bout the balance thing...anyway thanks for your compliments....

[ChaoS_ThronE]

Ah, usual Comment Style, i will use
First - Io's Wisp for now, not so creative. OR it has another framework
It is a target-based spell or like Io's? What's the orbital range?

Second - Hell yeah, synergize well with your orbital rock. Cooldown needs nerf.

Third - Incinerate on Warcraft III, except it is DPS
Orb Effect is something that overrides normal attack, not magical. So, there is no point of adding Orb Effect thingie on this skill

Ulti - 750 AoE around her right? Too Small, You might want to increase it every level increment (750/900/1050 or other you can think of). It is an okay idea, but it is almost undodgeable. I suggest the Duration to be around 2-4 second, and per wave is released AT LEAST 1 sec or 0,75 sec interval

I am neutral for now. Edit and Fix the typo that she is "he"

actually this hero idea was post before the 6.68 was released. so no comment on the Io thingy. each of the rock swirl in the opposite direction.

okay, will work on that.

[Lotus V Eater]

HONOURABLE BUMPING!

I need someone to make me a testmap for this hero!...

[Nizaris]

Isn't 600 MS for Volcanic Rock too fast? Is it invulnerable or can be destroyed?

This hero is ok, but if you have other Uti it will be better i think, since it look the same like Yunero.

yup, it is too fast, and intended to be spammable...

This hero is ok, but if you have other Uti it will be better i think, since it look the same like Yunero.
yup, it is a bit the same in term of concept, the damage, AOE, duration, type of spell, type of damage and etc is totally different...and i think it is very synergize with other of her spells.....
