DotA2 Skill: Battle Hunger

Battle Hunger

Enrages an enemy unit, causing it to take damage over time until it kills another unit or the duration ends. The damage is increased by a factor of Axe's armor. The enemy is also slowed as long as they are facing away from Axe.

Duration: 12
Movement Slow: -18% / -22% / -26% / -30%
Damage Per Second: 12 / 18 / 24 / 30
Armor Multiplier: 1


Multiple instances of Battle Hunger can stack on a single target.

• Grants movement speed for every affected enemy. This effect stacks.
• Casting Battle Hunger multiple times on the same target does not stack, but refreshes the duration instead.
• Denying an ally or destroying buildings or wards also removes the debuff.
• Using Devour, Demonic Conversion, or Hand of Midas also removes the debuff.
• Killing illusions does not remove the debuff.
• The affected unit itself has to make the kill to remove the debuff. Summons or illusions owned by the same player do not remove it when they make a kill.
• Deals damage based on the level upon cast of the ability. Leveling up Battle Hunger does not update the damage of already placed debuffs.
  • However, choosing the Axe: 2x Battle Hunger armor multiplier talent immediately upgrades all of Axe's currently active Battle Hunger debuffs.
• Deals damage in 1 second intervals, starting 1 second after the debuff is placed, resulting in 12 instances.
• Can deal up to 192 / 288 / 384 / 480 ( 1632 / 1728 / 1824 / 1920) damage (before reductions) when lasting its full duration.
• When upgraded, directly reduces any damage the debuffed target deals. This includes damage from spells.

Spell Immunity: Does not pierce spell immunity. Spell Block: Blocked when primary target. Not blocked when applied by Culling Blade. Dispel: The debuff is dispellable with any dispel. The movement speed bonus is undispellable.
