  ____________________

  Using dark magic, Khazal breaks his target's defences and deals damage proportionate to the target's strength. He then converts this to armour for a duration.

Immortal
Khazal

Khazal's whole concept revolves around his passive, Immortality, making him a difficult hero to slay. The ability automatically revives him at a small portion of his maximum health whenever he dies in the absence of enemies. This revival will give him the time and mana to either activate his Wraith Cloak, which would rapidly regenerate him to fighting fitness, or cast Devastation, which works both as a counterattack and a temporary buff that may help him resist additional attacks. His ultimate is undoubtedly the best spell in combination with his immortality. When used during a dire situation, he would be reborn temporarily with full hit points and mana, along with a massive boost to his primary stat and movement. This would give him the chance to escape, or even slay all enemies before the time runs out, allowing Immortality to bring him back to life when the duration ends. Fantastic hero for tanking and juking.

Khazal, prince of an ancient empire, was corrupted by the Lich King while on his quest for immortality. He now serves as a Wraith of The Scourge. His mere presence drains the lifeforce of enemies and his magic can destroy even the toughest of opponents, making him a feared adversary to content with. Whenever his enemies thought him slain, he just rose from the shadows, reborn, more powerful than before. Learns Devastate, Wraith Cloak, Immortality and Dark Resurrection.

Strength - 20 + 2.65
Agility - 20 + 2.0
Intelligence - 15 + 1.5

Devastate - Active, Hero Target



Notes:

• This ability disrupts channeling abilities.

• Magic immune targets are only unaffected by the slow, but will still suffer the knockback and ministun.

Wraith Cloak - Active, Toggle



Notes:

• The first second of percentage mana cost will be deducted upon activation of this spell.

• Cloak is disabled when hero runs out of mana.

• Activation/Deactivation of this skill does not charge magic stick nor trigger essence aura.

• This ability fully affects magic immunity.

Immortality - Passive


Notes:

• The Immortal is revived with all his mana.

• Revival delay is 1 second.

• Enemy creeps, neutrals and Roshan are also considered as 'enemies'.

• AoE check is implemented right upon death.

Dark Resurrection - Active, Automatic



Notes:

• Upon receiving a killing blow, this spell will autocast and apply effects immediately.

• After the spell's duration, Khazal dies and is considered to have killed himself.

• This skill will only activate automatically if the check for Immortality fails.

• Upon use, all buffs, positive or negative, are removed.

• Khazal can phase through units while this ability is in effect. (Not terrain)

• Team-only indicator will denote time left before death.

Any constructive comments are well appreciated

Thanks! Designed them myself XD

Care to elaborate o.O

[Necamijat]

I just don't know if armor amount detection for 1st is codable, check the B.L.U.T.
2nd is nice.
3rd is somehow unusable in team fights but seeing ultimate explains it all.
Btw can u check my heroes? (see signature)

[NMC]

The ultimate is way too imba.

If people play him quite well, he will never be killed by ENEMIES.

Revamped it.

Really nice hero! Although you could tweak some things:

1st skill : This one is nice and seems very balanced. Maybe increase the -armor/+armor duration.

2nd skill: Too much mana cost for a not so powerful spell. Buff it up a bit. It will basically cost all your mana to drain 1% of current HP per second plus 500 HP for all your mana.

3rd skill: A well-thought skill and balanced. Great!

Ulti: Not much to say here... Fits the theme and is greatly synergetyc. Really nice!

T-up on this hero

3rd skill:

[MorDorMaNiaC]

Epic Model!

Pretty much all his skills are balanced, however he needs Hp nerf, -100 - 120.

The armour increment/decrement is already too imba.

2nd skill: Too much mana cost for a not so powerful spell. Buff it up a bit. It will basically cost all your mana to drain 1% of current HP per second plus 500 HP for all your mana.

This spell is VERY powerful. Kept on any longer it will be imbalanced...

3rd skill: A well-thought skill and balanced. Great!

Ulti: Not much to say here... Fits the theme and is greatly synergetyc. Really nice!

T-up on this hero

3rd skill:

Thanks for the nice comments

[Nizaris]

simple, great, i like, T-Up

[sNz]

great job with this hero sugg , T-up

[wickman]

Wow, its actually balanced! That is a tricky theme to make work.
I really like the icons, the work you put in shows.

Is it possible to trigger his ult early by clicking it?

That's pretty much all I've got Spells are creative, and very well balanced in my opinion. I like that his strength is greator than his agility.

I have one question. Have you considered reducing the movespeed bonus in the ult a little to add a zero pathing aspect for the spell? Late game with chasing items he should catch most people, but creeps can still prevent him from catching people. I wouldn't give him flying pathing (from your balancing skillz, I'd say you agree that that would be imba) but when the ground gets sufficiently cluttered, a 522 night stalker still gets bogged down. Considering you've only got a short revive duration, it might be worthwhile.
I can understand leaving it as-is though. If an enemy is smart enough to creep/image block purposefully, he should get away

[wickman]

And just realized, we finally have another hero who can (sort of) survive axe's culling blade. I'm so excited....

Thanks, I took quite awhile to figure out the concept etc.

Yes, it is. Pretty much the same way borrowed time works.

About the phasing, I'd think it would be quite imba plus it wouldnt fit the theme of the spell. He shouldnt be insubstantial. Still I understand where you're coming from but a hero cant have everything.

[wickman]

Maybe I missed it, but what is the duration of the revival for the ult. The buff for revival is 8/9/10, but how long does he hang around after he comes back? Or is the 8/9/10 the total time?

[Clear]

T-up although the model is nice, it doesn't look warcraftish but since there's AA, it's okay.
