Ethra is a ranged agility hero specializing in inflicting the Ethereal status to her enemies. Units in ethereal form cannot attack and cannot be attacked. They are immune to all physical damage, but takes increased magic damage. Psych Out discombobulates an opponent's spirit in which they are inflicted with fear and ethereal debuff, while Ethereal Gate unleashes ghostly energies that turns her and her enemies ethereal.
And while you would expect that this specialization allows her to focus on dealing magical spell damage to her enemies, none of her spells deal damage whatsoever! Instead, she wields her Spirit Glaive^[1], a weapon designed to sunder spirits. Toggling on the weapon allows her to bypass the ethereal status, attacking with increased speed and converting it to magical damage while severely slowing enemies. However, the glaive cannot damage the mortal flesh, so not a single bonus is gained when attacking non-ethereal units, other than keeping her melee.
Able to make rifts between the mortal and the spirit realm, Her ultimate Phantasmagoria creates an ethereal rift. This rift resonates to her form, teleporting her a short distance while the same rift ravages the spirits of her foes, silencing and muting in an area. The
The combined strengths of her abilities effectively turns her into a powerful disabler! Phantasmagoria into Ethereal Gate into Spirit Glaive is a silence + mute + disarm + Massive Slow all at once; That's basically an honorary stun! In the right hands, Ethra can unleash godly amounts of both disable and damage while being nigh untouchable herself! For this reason, she will be played mostly as a safelane position 1 or a tempo-setting mid-laner, similar to Templar Assassin.

^[1](not to be confused with the throwable weapons also called "glaives" used by Silencer and Luna. It's a single-edged pole weapon. A swordspear, if you will.)

Millennia, or perhaps an eon, have passed since the order of the Veiled Assassins struck down their first victim, after then they'll become only whispers. Ethra was the third to join the Veiled Sisters, and the first to perish... However, this makes her the first to demonstrate that, by one's power and devotion to the duty of assassination, could death becomes merely a small distraction that cannot remove them from their sacred duty.

The Veiled Oracle recognizes her talents and strengths as among the strongest of the assassins, and for this reason is why her list is long, with names of gods and mortal spanning across timelines, centuries apart. But the list is finite, and she's finally down to the tail end of her sacred list. Her mission is almost done, and how perfectly wonderful is it that they will all be gathering on one very eventful day...

[Q] Psych Out Launches a maleficent energy to a single enemy unit, breaking their spiritual bridge. Target becomes feared, slowed and ethereal. ABILITY PIERCES IMMUNITY? CAST ANIMATION CAST RANGE : TARGET ENEMY : NO : 0.4 + 0.5 : 500 Duration Movement Slow Magic Resistance Reduction MANA COOLDOWN : 1.0 / 1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 : 20% : 30% / 40% / 50% / 60% : 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 : 9 Ethra discombobulates an opponent's spirit, whether they realize the undeniable fate which awaits them is trivial.

NOTES / ADVANCED COMMENTS: Psyche Out – Dispellable (strong) Lobs projectile at 700 speed. Disjointable.

[W] Ethereal Gate Ethra and all enemy units surrounding her becomes ethereal. ABILITY PIERCES IMMUNITY? CAST ANIMATION RADIUS : NO TARGET : NO : 0.01 + 0 : 475 Duration Self Magic Resistance Reduction Enemy Magic Resistance Reduction MANA COOLDOWN : 2.25 / 3 / 3.75 / 4.5 : 25% : 30% / 35% / 40% / 45% : 60 : 14 (825) Banishing mortal spirits into the gates of the nether is an easy task for those who carry the very gate with them.

NOTES / ADVANCED COMMENTS: Self-Ethereal - Dispellable Ethereal - Dispellable (basic) Effect is not instant. Acts as a wave: it's radius increases from 0 to 475 in 0.5 seconds. The center follows Ethra's position. (Like a fast & tiny Shiva's Guard)

[E] Spirit Glaive Toggle. Ethra wields her legendary weapon. She becomes melee, as well as have her attacks converted to magic damage and bypass the ethereal status. Attacking an ethereal target, she gains bonus attack speed, (20true strike,) as well as apply a crippling slow. The slow cannot persist outside of ethereal state. ABILITY CAST ANIMATION : TOGGLE : 0 + 0 Melee Range Atk Spd Increase Slow Slow Duration COOLDOWN : 200 : 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 (90 / 100 / 110 / 12015) : 20% / 40% / 60% / 80% : 2 : 0.2 With her passing to the realm of spirits had Ethra discovered new methods to kill.

NOTES / ADVANCED COMMENTS: Toggled ON icon change Slow — Dispellable (basic). Also dispels itself if target is no longer ethereal. "bypass the ethereal status" ~ She can attack ethereal units and even when she's ethereal herself. Critical works as expected and stacks with the enemies' reduced magic resistances! A Daedalus is a late-game must-have! Cleave damage are not converted to magical damage. Cleave's damage type works independent from Ethra's own attack damage-type. Other attack modifiers that deal extra attack damage MAY BE converted to magical damage. Here are some cases where damage is converted: If the proc damage is magical already. (e.g. Javelin, Mjollnir) If the damage is dealt in one instance together with the attack damage, counting as a regular attack damage. (e.g. Diffusal Blade, Skull Basher, Silver Edge)

[D] Omni-present Strike Unlocked by Aghanim's Shard. Ethra attacks all enemies around her once, dealing all applicable attack modifiers. ABILITY PIERCES IMMUNITY? CAST ANIMATION : NO TARGET : YES : 0.4 + 0.4 Radius MANA COOLDOWN : 600 : 60 : 12 If her presence is multi-permeating, so is her blade.

NOTES / ADVANCED COMMENTS: All attacks are dealt instantaneously to all enemies. (no delay, no projectile) Affects units in fog of war, but not invisible units.

[R] Phantasmagoria Teleports a short distance and creates a zone of debilitating aura in the destination that silences, (20breaks) and mutes enemy abilities. Leaving the area will mute all effects until she comes back. ABILITY PIERCES IMMUNITY? CAST ANIMATION CAST RANGE : TARGET POINT : NO : 0.4 + 0.2 : 600 / 750 / 900 (1500 / 1650 / 180025) Effect Radius Duration MANA COOLDOWN : 475 : 4 / 4.5 / 5 (5.5 / 6 / 6.5) : 120 / 150 / 180 : 80 / 70 / 60 Ethra disperses her spirit and she'll do the same to her enemies... with astronomically different results.

NOTES / ADVANCED COMMENTS: Phantasmagoria — UNDISPELLABLE (aura) Unselectable — UNDISPELLABLE
