Undying the Almighty Dirge is a melee Strength Hero who serves as a formidable tank and a dangerous spellcaster. His abilities force opponents to either kill him or suffer powerful debuffs in a teamfight. Decay is a spammable skill that steals enemies' Strength in an area, making them more fragile and Undying himself more durable as the fight goes on. Soul Rip can act as both a powerful heal or nuke, redirecting the flow of living energy to a target. By ripping some of the health of his ally or enemy in an area, the target can be healed if an ally, or damaged if an enemy. This is empowered by Tombstone, which acts as a static tank by summoning Zombies to slow Undying's foes while active. With the Zombies summoned, Soul Rip can perform to its fullest, while Decay weakens Undying's foes. Finally, Undying can transform into a horrific Flesh Golem. This transformation increases all allied damage by a significant percentage, and helps keep him alive as his team kills the enemy. Monstrous and truly sadomasochistic, Undying finds great pleasure in keeping himself alive and vital, while his adversaries suffer as he delivers death to the field. With powerful abilities that scale well into late game, the Dirge may never cease.

Bio

Undying, the Almighty Dirge  "Again and again, I live and die." Role: Durable / Pusher / Disabler / Initiator Lore: How long has it been since he lost his name? The torn ruin of his mind no longer knows.  Dimly he recalls armor and banners and grim-faced kin riding at his side. He remembers a battle: pain and fear as pale hands ripped him from his saddle. He remembers terror as they threw him into the yawning pit of the Dead God alongside his brothers, to hear the Dirge and be consumed into nothingness. In the darkness below, time left them. Thought left them. Sanity left them. Hunger, however, did not. They turned on each other with split fingernails and shattered teeth. Then it came: distant at first, a fragile note at the edge of perception, joined by another, then another, inescapable and unending. The chorus grew into a living wall of sound pulsing in his mind until no other thought survived. With the Dirge consuming him, he opened his arms to the Dead God and welcomed his obliteration. Yet destruction was not what he'd been chosen for. The Dead God demanded war. In the belly of the great nothing, he was granted a new purpose: to spread the Dirge across the land, to rally the sleepless dead against the living. He was to become the Undying, the herald of the Dead God, to rise and fall and rise again whenever his body failed him. To trudge on through death unending, that the Dirge might never end.

Abilities

Decay Ability Affects Damage Target Point Enemies Magical Undying saps the life from enemy Heroes in an area, dealing damage and stealing Strength for the duration. Range: 625 Radius: 325 Duration: 25/30/35/40 Strength Stolen: 4 Damage: 20/60/100/140 10/8/6/4 70/90/110/130 The strength of the living is simply borrowed from the strength of the dead. Notes: Decay stacks, but can't reduce a Hero's strength below 1. The strength loss takes effect before the damage. Every point of strength stolen makes Undying bigger. Heals Undying for 76 HP per enemy hero affected.

Soul Rip Ability Affects Damage Target Unit Units Magical Redirects the flow of energy through a target friendly or enemy unit, healing or damaging it depending on how many units are near Undying.

Every counted unit, ally or enemy, takes 25 damage; units cannot be killed by this, only reduced to 1 HP.  Soul Rip can Heal/Damage a maximum of 125/250/375/500 The 25 damage is HP removal.

Tombstone Ability Target Point Summons a tombstone at the target point. Zombies will frequently spawn next to every enemy unit in the area around the Tombstone, and attack them. Zombies have the Deathlust ability, which causes their attacks to slow the target, and if the target reaches below a certain amount of health, increases the attack and movement speed of the zombie. Range: 600 Radius: 400/600/800/1000 Duration: 15/20/25/30 Spawn Interval: 3 Hit points: 200/400/600/800 60 120/130/140/150 Dirge calls on his fallen brothers to fight for the Dead God.

Flesh Golem Ability Affects No Target Self Undying transforms into a horrifying flesh golem that possesses a Plague Aura.

The flesh of the recently dead add to the power of Dirge's plague. Notes: The souls of units killed near Undying will return to heal him even if he did not kill them. Plague Aura is strongest within 200 distance of Undying and decreases farther away from him. Dying illusions don't trigger the heal.
