DotA2 Skill: Mist Coil

Mist Coil

Abaddon releases a coil of death that can damage an enemy unit or heal a friendly unit at the cost of some of his own health.

Damage Type: Magical
Cast Animation: 0.25 + 0.67
Range: 625
Radius: 0 ( 375)
Self Damage: 40%
Target Damage/Heal: 80 / 150 / 220 / 290

• Deals pure damage to self.
• Abaddon cannot deny himself with this ability.
• The self damage is absorbed by Aphotic Shield.
• The self damage can trigger Borrowed Time. While under the effect, the self damage will heal instead.
• The self damage is affected by spell damage amplification and other sources of damage manipulation.
• The self damage is applied instantly upon cast. That means that if Abaddon simultaneously kills an unit and denies himself, he does not get the experience.
• If the target ally turns hidden* before projectile impact, it still gets healed by it.
• Can be cast on siege creeps.
• The Abaddon: +350 AoE Mist Coil talent adds a 375 radius to this spell. The targeting reticule must be centered over an enemy unit.
  • Also targets units inside the fog of war and invisible units. However, invisible targets instantly disjoint it.
  • The self-damage stays the same, regardless of how many targets got coiled.

The following abilities turn the target hidden: Assimilate, Astral Imprisonment, Disruption, Doppelganger, Enchant Remnant, Infest, Manta Style, Mirror Image, Phantasm, Phase Shift, Primal Split, Snowball and Tricks of the Trade.

Spell Immunity: Can be cast on spell immune allies. Cannot be cast on spell immune enemies. The self damage pierces spell immunity. Spell Block: Blocked upon impact, as primary and secondary target, therefore, Abaddon still loses health. Disjoint: Can be disjointed by enemies and allies.
