DotA2 Skill: Bristleback

Bristleback

Bristleback takes less damage if hit on the sides or rear. If Bristleback takes 275 / 250 / 225 / 200 damage from the rear, he releases a Quill Spray of the current level. Provides Warpath stacks with each Quill Spray released.

Reduced Damage (Rear): 16% / 24% / 32% / 40%
Reduced Damage (Side): 8% / 12% / 16% / 20%

Adds active ability to Bristleback. Bristleback rotates towards the targeted direction and, after 0.5s, forcefully ejects 5.0 sequential Quill Sprays in a tight conical pattern out of his back every 0.4s. Bristleback's facing is locked during this time, he is disarmed, and his speed is reduced by 40.0%. Costs 125 mana and has a 24 second cooldown.

• Bristleback's rear is considered to be within 70 degrees from the back.
• Bristleback's side is considered to be within 110 degrees from the back.
• When taking rear damage, Bristleback's effective health will be increased by 19.05% / 31.58% / 47.06% / 66.67%
• When taking side damage, Bristleback's effective health will be increased by 8.70% / 13.64% / 19.05% / 25%
• Damage reduction (and Quill Spray triggers) are calculated by comparing the location of the damage instance's source to Bristleback's orientation. This applies to damage over time ticks as well.
• The amount of damage considered towards buff removal proc is the one actually done to Bristleback, and is reset after a passive Quill Spray from Bristleback occurs.
• Passive Quill Spray proc does not cost mana.
• Bristleback's Quill Spray proc does not work against towers.
• Ability is disabled by Doom and Chronosphere.
• Animation shows Quill Spray procs even if the Quill Spray is not learned, but it does no damage.

• Illusions benefit damage reduction, but not Quill Spray procs.
