Lore   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Slithice, the Naga Siren Among the high-sworn of the : Among the high-sworn of the Slithereen Guard there is a solemn vow oft repeated before battle: No Slithereen may fail. In truth, these words are equal parts oath and enforceable covenant, for those who fall short of their duty are banished from the order. To fail is to be other than Slithereen.

Once most highly esteemed of her race, Slithice for many years commanded a battalion of her fellows, using her formidable voice as her greatest weapon. Powerful, sinuous, serpentine, she led her deadly Guard in defense of the Deep Ones, and the great wealth of the sunken cities. But in the final battle of Crey, her forces were driven back by a marauding army of levianths intent on finding tribute for their god Maelrawn. After the long and bloody onslaught, as the bodies were cleared from the sunken halls, a single jeweled chalice was found missing from the trove. Of her hundred Guard, only a handful survived, but their bravery and sacrifice were of little consequence. What mattered was that treasure was taken. Honor destroyed. And so Naga Siren was cast out. Banished to search for the stolen chalice. Though she might add a hundred times her weight to the golden trove, she is doomed to live apart until that day she returns that which was taken. For no amount of gold is equal in honor to the honor she lost.

Slithice, while being strong in her own right, is notoriously hard to track down.

Notes:

  • Resets all current attack and spell targeting orders from other units on Naga Siren.
  • The formation of Naga Siren and the illusions is always the same. One spawns on Naga Siren`s cast location and the others randomly on the north, east, south or west side each.
  • Though the formation is always the same, Naga Siren and her illusions take a random position in the formation and have all the same facing angle.
  • Recasting Mirror Image replaces the illusions from the previous cast, no matter under whose control they are.

The only way to escape the onslaught of a Slithereen is to never oppose one in the first place.

Notes:

  • The net travels at a speed of 1500 and can be disjointed.
  • Roots the target, preventing it from moving and casting certain mobility spells.
    • Interrupts the target`s channeling spells, but does not prevent it from starting to channel during it.

Modifiers
Debuff Rip Tide: Dispellable with any dispel.
A torrent from the Deep Ones crushes the defenses of the Siren`s enemies.

Notes:

  • Rip Tide interrupts Naga Siren`s channeling spells upon cast.
  • The damage source of the Rip Tide coming from an illusion is the illusion itself, meaning certain on-damage effects react on the illusion rather than on Naga Siren (e.g. Blade Mail).
  • Illusions always cast their part, even when they are disabled.

Modifiers
Buff Song of the Siren Aura: Undispellable.
Buff or Debuff, based on the target`s alliance Song of the Siren: Undispellable.
Slithice`s powerful voice enchants leagues of opponents, while calling her Slithereen kin in a time of need.

Notes:

  • The area of the song follows Naga Siren, so if she moves far enough away from affected units, they wake up.
  • Song of the Siren cannot be interrupted. Only Naga Siren herself or her death can stop it.
    • Be that as it may, silencing Naga Siren prevents her from manually stopping the song.
  • The sleep is provided by an aura. Its debuff lingers for 0.5 seconds.
  • The heal from the Aghanim`s Scepter upgrade is provided by an aura as well, which also lingers for 0.5 seconds.
    • Heals in the form of health regeneration, so it heals for 1% of maximum health in 0.1-second intervals.
    • Can heal up to 75% of a unit`s maximum health if it stays within range for the full duration (song duration + buff linger time).
    • The heal affects every ally. Be that as it may, despite placing the buff on allied buildings, they do not get healed.


Song of the Siren End
Play
R
G
Ability
No Target
Release enemy units from your song so they can be targeted again.
Cast Animation: 0+0.97
Cooldown symbol.png 1

Notes:

  • Replaces Song of the Siren until the sub-spell is used or the song ends.
  • The cast of Song of the Siren End is not registered as a spell cast and thus does not proc any on-cast effects.
  • Song of the Siren End interrupts Naga Siren`s channeling spells on cast.
  • Goes into a 1-second cooldown right after Song of the Siren is cast.
  • Does not instantly wake affected enemies up. Instead, it removes the Song of the Siren aura which causes enemies to fall asleep, so the debuff still lingers for 0.5 seconds.

Among the high-sworn of the Slithereen Guard there is a solemn vow oft repeated before battle: No Slithereen may fail. In truth, these words are equal parts oath and enforceable covenant, for those who fall short of their duty are banished from the order. To fail is to be other than Slithereen.

Once most highly esteemed of her race, Slithice for many years commanded a battalion of her fellows, using her formidable voice as her greatest weapon. Powerful, sinuous, serpentine, she led her deadly Guard in defense of the Deep Ones, and the great wealth of the sunken cities. But in the final battle of Crey, her forces were driven back by a marauding army of levianths intent on finding tribute for their god Maelrawn. After the long and bloody onslaught, as the bodies were cleared from the sunken halls, a single jeweled chalice was found missing from the trove. Of her hundred Guard, only a handful survived, but their bravery and sacrifice were of little consequence. What mattered was that treasure was taken. Honor destroyed. And so Naga Siren was cast out. Banished to search for the stolen chalice. Though she might add a hundred times her weight to the golden trove, she is doomed to live apart until that day she returns that which was taken. For no amount of gold is equal in honor to the honor she lost.
