Lord Salforis is a melee strength hero in Heroes of Newerth.

Info[ | ]

Lore: Lord Salforis, Baron of Blackwal, commands necromantic powers that distinguish him from typical Hellbourne fodder. A potent sorcerer and general alike, his mere presence on the battlefield is enough to induce visions of fear in his foes, rotting them from the inside and draining their souls. Rumor has it that falling to his lance will doom one's soul.
 
  Lord Salforis is a lethal melee caster that can dish out huge amounts of spike damage with Mors Certissima. The Undying allows him to shut down healing and regeneration effects on a single target, making him a great counter to enemy tanks and life-stealing carries.

Abilities[ | ]

Mors Certissima
[ Q ]
Lord Salforis Mors Certissima
Cast Time: 0.1 / 0.9 seconds
Target Position Enemy Units
Type - Magic
Lord Salforis torments an area with unholy souls dealing damage to enemies and reducing healing they receive. The target will regenerate some of the damage done as health over time.
Range: 600
Radius: 250
Mana Cost: 80/85/90/95
Cooldown: 11/9/7/5 seconds
Target an area to blast it for 130/210/290/370 Magic Damage after a 0.65 second delay.

Afflicted targets receive Mors Certissima and regain 40% of the damage done as health regen over 5 seconds.

 

Mors Certissima Effects
-50% Healing received

Notes
  • Mors Certissima does not reduce Health Regeneration.
  • Mors Certissima applies charges equal to post-mitigation damage dealt times 0.2 (rounded down), and each charge grants +0.4 Health Regeneration.
  • If Mors Certissima is reapplied while the health regen buff still active, the health regen amount is reset to match the current instance of damage.
  • Health regen from Mors Certissima is capped at +48 Health Regeneration per second (120 charges), which means Mors Certissima regenerates less than 40% of damage dealt if it deals more than 600 post-mitigation damage.
  • After accounting for regeneration, this skill deals a net 78/126/174/222 Magic Damage.


Life Tap
[ W ]
Lord Salforis Life Tap
Cast Time: 0 / 0 seconds
No Target Enemy Units
Type - Magic
Salfori's blade thirsts for souls draining life from enemies. When activated, slows nearby enemies and causes your next attack to steal life from the enemy.
Radius: 275
Mana Cost: 60
Cooldown: 8/7/6/5 seconds
Activate to inflict a tapering 40% Movement Speed Slow around you for 2 seconds.

Meanwhile, for 5 seconds or until you successfully attack, you gain 50 Movement Speed and your next attack is charged with nether energies, adding 40/60/80/100 Damage, converting it to Superior Magic damage, and granting it 55/70/85/100% Life Leech.

 
Notes


Dark Lord's Presence
[ E ]
Lord Salforis Dark Lord's Presence
Aura Enemy Units
Radius: 300
Passively steals 30/45/60/75% of nearby enemy's Health Regeneration giving it to yourself.

Nearby enemies passively are dealt up to 15/25/35/45 True Damage per second. This damage is split between all nearby enemies. Minimum of 15 damage per second.

On use, Toggle's off the passive damage.

 
Notes
  • Toggling off disables the True Damage aura, but will still steal Health Regeneration.
  • Total Health Regeneration gained from Dark Lord's Presence is capped at +127.
  • Illusions inherit Dark Lord's Presence, but deal 33% damage. The amount of Health Regeneration reduced does not stack.
    • Dark Lord's Presence is an aura applies a non-stacking 30/45/60/75% Reduced Health Regeneration debuff and gives you Health Regeneration equal to the amount reduced in integers. The True Damage portion of this ability is an affector, which stacks.


The Undying
[ R ]
Lord Salforis The Undying
Cast Time: 0.35 / 0.65 seconds
Target Unit Enemy Heroes
Type - Superior Magic
Lord Salforis rips the soul from an enemy dealing a large amount of damage over time. While the target is afflicted, they cannot heal or regenerate health.
Range: 600
Mana Cost: 100/150/200
Cooldown: 80/70/60 seconds
Target an enemy hero to inflict it with The Undying for 12 seconds.

Pauses the duration while Salforis is within 600 range of the target. Deals 5 bonus damage per second for every hero that died while under the effects of Undying, up to a max of 50 bonus damage.

 

The Undying Effects
-100% Healing Received
Cannot Regenerate Health
Deals 20/35/50 Superior Magic Damage per second.

Notes
  • The Undying negates any health restored via Health Regeneration rather than reducing it, so Lord Salforis can still steal Health Regeneration from the target.
  • Deals a total of 300/480/660 Superior Magic Damage, and a minimum of 900/1080/1260 Superior Magic Damage after killing 10 heroes with this skill with Staff of the Master Staff of the Master.
  • State isn't transferable (e.g. by Ichor Ichor Ichor Transfusion Transfusion).
