''Empath is a ranged intelligence hero in Heroes of Newerth.

Info[ | ]

Lore: Tied to the lifeforce of all creatures that move across the lands of Newerth, the Empath has suffered greatly in the war against the daemons. Nevertheless, her gift -- and curse -- is a powerful asset for the Legion, for the Empath is able to call on her magic to heal allies, weaken foes, and even merge her essence with other heroes.
 
  The Empath is a unique support hero capable of entering an ally with As One and greatly buffing it. Meanwhile, Essence Link fulfills multiple roles by siphoning an enemy's health to the Empath herself.

Abilities[ | ]

Essence Link
[ Q ]
Empath Essence Link
Cast Time: 0 / 0 seconds
Target Unit Organic Enemy Units
Type - Magic
Steals life from the target over time. If the link is shattered from distance, the target is stunned.

While bonded to an ally with As One, Essence Link heals the host instead of you.

Sucky sucky.
 
Notes

  • Deals/heals up to 100/150/190/230 True Damage/Health.
