Parasite — HoN Hero Guide

Parasite

Parasite is a melee Intelligence hero in Heroes of Newerth.

His first ability: LEECH

Casted on a single target, it steals movement speed for 4 seconds and deals moderate magic damage. This is his only form of magic damage and also his only snare

His second ability: INFEST

Allows him to ‘Infest’ an ally neutral or enemy non-ancient creep, gaining bonus attack speed, damage and movement speed. While infested the creep passively loses 2% of his max health every second, making the maximum duration up to 15 seconds, if it doesn’t take damage from an enemy unit. Parasite can also kill his host, instantly healing himself for a percentage (%) of his health pool. He also gains any gold/experience that he would normally gain by killing the host.

His third ability: DRAINING VENOM

Is a passive venom that applies to a target on attack, the venom reduces all sources of damage that the target does to Parasite whether magical or physical. At the same time he also increases all damage he does to the target. The bonuses will also work while infesting a creep.

His ultimate: FACE HUG

Causes Parasite to leap at the face of a single foe dealing a burst of magic damage and swapping any debuff to the target while stealing any positive buffs from it. This skill also silences the enemy for a short duration. Stealing positive buffs applies to a few more than a few small bonuses, even Double-Damage rune effect or Jeraziah’s ultimate can be stolen, giving this ability amazing potential.

Gameplay

Parasite’s Abilities Tips and Tricks

Leech gives you ms and slows enemy. GREAT tool for harassing + beating people to rune (If you solo middle)

Leech is also awesome when running away, always ALWAYS turn back to apply the slow. You slow them + gain a significant speed boost.

Infest removes ALL debuffs from you. For example, if keeper of the forest ulties you, just infest a creep it’ll be gone. Of course, when you infest a creep and your creep has debuffs, consuming it will not transfer debuffs on to you.

Beware, your ultimate can be disjointed. If you’re ulting someone and they blink before you reach them. it won’t register.

Silhouette

Silhouette is a ranged Agility ninja hero in Heroes of Newerth.

Abilities

Death Lotus

Silhouette passively creates 1/2/3/4 blades that orbit around her and deal 60 Magic Damage to enemy units they pass through. Blades can be shot outwards, dealing 100/160/220/280 Magic Damage to enemies they pass through.

Tree Grapple

Target a location to hook and create a chain to the first tree encountered. The chain lasts for 6 seconds or if it stretches to 1800 units. While Silhouette is chained to a tree, she gains 100 Movement Speed and Tree Grapple is replaced by two sub-abilities, Sky Dance and Log Bolas. Sky Dance and Log Bolas deal 50/100/150/200 Physical damage and a 1/1.5/2/2.5 second Stun.  Silhouette hooks onto a tree and pulls herself towards the tree or pulls the tree towards her.

Relentless Salvo

Passively causes attacks to apply Relentless Salvo on the target, which lasts 3 seconds and stacks up to 5 times. Attacks deal 6/9/12/15 bonus Physical Damage for each stack of Relentless Salvo on the target. After activating a skill, Silhouette gains 250/300/350/400 Attack Speed for 2 attacks or 4 seconds if the skill is off cooldown. Does not propagate to illusions.

Shadow

Activate to disjoint, dispel all states on self, and create a shadow. The shadow is an illusion that lasts for 30 seconds and takes 200% of normal damage and deals 33/66/100% of normal damage. Creates a sub-ability which allows Silhouette to swap locations with the shadow.
