Kinesis is a ranged intelligence hero in Heroes of Newerth.

Info[ | ]

Lore: The Prophet teaches that energy flows through all things, we must only harness it for ourselves. The mages invoke incantations, the priests call upon gods wicked and just, but for the truly powerful, the power is harnessed from within. These are the Disciples of the Way and among them there is one known for his mastery over all - Kinesis. Let the Hellbourne beware the power of his mind.
 
  Kinesis is an Intelligence ganker who may also be played as an effective support. Kinesis initiates by lifting an enemy with Stasis Smash, while the enemy is lifted, he Lifts up trees and creeps around them and when the enemy lands he Launches all of the Lifted units at the target for full damage. Later in the game, Kinesis is able to survive longer in teamfights due to his Inherent Defense.

Abilities[ | ]

Thoughtsteal
[ Q ]
Kinesis Thoughtsteal
Cast Time: 0.3 / 0 seconds
Target Unit Enemy Heroes
Type - Magic
Steals the first ability of an enemy hero.
Range: 800
Mana Cost: 100/120/140/160
Cooldown: 16/14/12/10 seconds
Activate to steal the first ability from the target hero and Silence them for 2 seconds.

The stolen ability is retained indefinitely until removed by activating your third ability. Doing so puts Thoughtsteal on cooldown.

I'm having a brainstorm
 
Notes
  • Cannot be used on Heropets such as Gemini Fire and Ice Fire and Ice.
  • When copying Soulstealer Demon Hand Demon Hand, it will always copy the medium distance version.
  • When copying Wildsoul Summon Booboo Summon Booboo, you can give your Booboo items, which will be permanently retained on it.
  • When copying a passive ability (Ex. Magebane Mana Combustion Mana Combustion), you can activate it again to remove the stolen ability.
  • Enemies that had their ability copied with Thoughtsteal will see a status effect indicating they were targeted by Thoughsteal.


Telekinetic Control
[ W ]
Kinesis Telekinetic Control
Cast Time: 0 / 0 seconds
No Target
Type - Magic
Lift up creeps or trees and launch them at your enemies!
Range: 800
Mana Cost: 60/80/100/120
Cooldown: 4 seconds
Lifts the 1/2/3/4 closest trees or creeps for up to 8 seconds. If not enough are present, pieces of ground are lifted instead. Lifted objects are invulnerable and will follow Kinesis at 450 speed during the effect.

Activate again by targeting an enemy to throw all lifted objects at it, dealing 60 Magic Damage per object and applying a 15% Movement Speed Slow for 2 seconds. Objects must be within 1500 range to be thrown.

Sometimes the Keeper of the Forest gets mixed in
 
Notes
  • If a lifted object gets more than 1500 units away from Kinesis, it will teleport to his location.
  • Can't lift player-controlled allied units if No-Help option is flagged on them.


Inherent Defense
[ E ]
Kinesis Inherent Defense
Cast Time: 0 / 0 seconds
No Target
Damaging enemy heroes grants you a stacking damage shield.
Whenever you deal non-DoT Magic Damage to an enemy hero, you gain a shield equal to 20/30/40/50% of pre-mitigation damage. Up to 500 points of shield can be built. The shield grants 10 Movement Speed plus 1 Movement Speed per 4 points of shield while active.

The shield expires after not building it for 8 seconds.

I'm having a brainstorm.
 
Notes
  • Buffs that grant bonus Magic Damage to Kinesis such as Revenant Revenant's Revenant Defile Defile will add to Inherent Defense.
  • Activating this ability will cause you to forgot the ability copied with Kinesis Thoughtsteal Thoughtsteal.


Stasis Smash (Stasis Throw)
[ R ]
Kinesis Stasis Smash
Cast Time: 0.3 / 0 seconds
Target Unit Enemy Units
Type - Magic
Lifts a target into the air then smash them down dealing area damage and stunning around them.
Range: 600
Radius: 400 (600)
Mana Cost: 100/150/200
Cooldown: 100/80/60 seconds
Places the target in a stasis and lifts non-hero units around it for up to 2.5/3/3.5 seconds. Target is Stunned and has 20% Damage Reduction while in stasis.

When stasis expires, the target takes 200/300/400 Magic Damage and an additional 20/30/40 bonus Magic Damage for every other unit lifted. Units lifted take the same damage. Other enemies in the area receive a 2 second 50% Movement Speed Slow if they are caught in the blast.

Ability can be activated again to to end the effect early (throw all lifted units including the target to a location you choose. Cannot throw further than 1200 distance).

- Units thrown at the target with Telekinetic Control will get caught as well.

I'll give you a crash course in physics.
 
Notes
  • Provides 1000 day and night clearvision around the lifted units while active.
  • Only the main target and lifted units will take damage. Enemy heroes within the blast are only slowed.
