Description, attributes and patch history, in one place.
Gliding along her webs, Broodmother births an army of spiders to lead her team's forces toward the enemy base. As prey wanders near, she joins her children and attacks, slowing foes with incapacitating bites as she indulges her insatiable hunger.
For centuries, Black Arachnia the Broodmother lurked in the dark lava tubes beneath the smoldering caldera of Mount Pyrotheos, raising millions of spiderlings in safety before sending them to find prey in the wide world above. In a later age, the Vizier of Greed, Ptholopthales, erected his lodestone ziggurat on the slopes of the dead volcano, knowing that any looters who sought his magnetic wealth must survive the spider-haunted passages. After millennia of maternal peace, Black Arachnia found herself beset by a steady trickle of furfeet and cutpurses, bold knights and noble youths--all of them delicious, certainly, and yet tending to create a less than nurturing environment for her innocent offspring. Tiring of the intrusions, she paid a visit to Ptholopthales; and when he proved unwilling to discuss a compromise, she wrapped the Vizier in silk and set him aside to be the centerpiece of a special birthday feast. Unfortunately, the absence of the Magnetic Ziggurat's master merely emboldened a new generation of intruders. When one of her newborns was trodden underfoot by a clumsy adventurer, she reached the end of her silken rope. Broodmother headed for the surface, declaring her intent to rid the world of each and every possible invader, down to the last Hero if necessary, until she could ensure her nursery might once more be a safe and wholesome environment for her precious spiderspawn.
Whenever Broodmother kills a unit, she and all units under her control in a 600 radius receive a buff for 3s that heals them for a percentage of the victim's health every 0.5 seconds. Healing from creeps is reduced by 40%.
A violent lust for vital fluids increases Broodmother's attack damage and gives her and her Spiderlings a vampiric attack.
While Hunger is active, the bonus damage is increased by 4% every 1s.
Spins a large web that grants Broodmother a passive movement speed increase and increases her Turn Rate, while in its vicinity, as well as giving free movement. Spin Web can be cast from anywhere as long as the new web touches an existing web. Webs never expire, and can be manually destroyed. When the maximum limit of webs is exceeded, the oldest web disappears.
Broodmother's venom cripples enemy units, causing her attacks to slow and giving the affected unit a chance to miss its attacks and extra damage from attacks.
Broodmother may create up to 5 invisible web lines touching any existing web. Enemy Heroes that cross the web line will spring the trap, becoming rooted, revealed in fog, and take damage over time. Multiple Heroes can trip on the same line until it's destroyed after being initially triggered. Broodmother's team is alerted via the minimap when an enemy has triggered the snare.
Broodmother injects her young into an enemy unit, dealing damage and slowing them for 4 seconds. The spiderlings will hatch if the target is killed while under this influence.
