Description, attributes and patch history, in one place.
As his deadly familiars scout the field, Visage cloaks himself in armor and seeks the next battle. Once near a skirmish, he gathers soul energy from damage inflicted upon nearby fighters before releasing it in a devastating attack.
Perched atop the entrance to the Narrow Maze sit the looming shapes of sneering gargoyles, the paths into the hereafter forever in their gaze. Beasts and birds, men and monsters, all creatures that die and choose to travel beyond must someday pass beneath their sight. For an untethered spirit, the decision to journey through the veil of death is irrevocable. When chance comes, and by craft or cunning some restless soul escapes their hells and heavens, it is the dreaded gargoyle Visage, the bound form of the eternal spirit Necro'lic, who is dispatched to reclaim them. Ruthless and efficient, unhindered by the principles of death and fatigue, Visage stalks its prey without mercy or end, willingly destroying all which may give shelter to the fugitive essence. That which flaunts the laws of the afterlife may never rest, for while it is true that the dead may be revived, it is only a matter of time before Visage finds and returns them to their proper place.
Visage gains flying movement and bonus movement speed. Upon attacking or casting, the speed and flying movement are lost and Visage and his familiars deal additional attack damage for 2s.
Increases movement speed, damage, and duration. Turns Visage and familiars invisible for the duration until the flying movement is lost.
Visage drains the movement and attack speed of the targeted unit, gaining the drained speed for itself and nearby Familiars.
Visage gathers charges of soul essence each time nearby heroes take more than 100 damage. When the essence is released, it deals base damage as well as damage for each gathered soul charge.
Visage generates a layered barrier that protects him from damage. If he receives damage from a player, one layer is removed, and takes time to recover. Visage's Familiars are protected by his cloak when within 900 range of him, based on the number of layers Visage has.
Gains an active component, allowing Visage to use Stone Form, stunning enemies for 0.8 / 1.0 / 1.2 seconds in an 375 area around it, dealing 60 / 100 / 140 damage and becoming invulnerable for 6 seconds. Restores up to 25% of your health.
Conjures 2 blind Familiars to fight for Visage. Familiars possess the Stone Form ability, that allows them to turn into stone, stunning enemies upon landing.
