• Lifestealer is invulnerable, hidden and spell immune during Infest.

• Lifestealer still gains experience and gold during Infest.

• During Infest, all three spells of Lifestealer are turned inactive, Infest is replaced by Consume, and Control is added.

• During Infest, Lifestealer is periodically moved to the host`s current position. This affects multiple things such as:
  • When Infest ends (be it via Consume, or the host dies), Lifestealer appears at the host`s location.
  • Every aura Lifestealer has (including Gem of True Sight and Radiance) affects units around the host.
  • Effects which react on heroes` presence, such as Smoke of Deceit, Marksmanship or Blur, react on the host`s presence.
  • Relocate and Recall force Lifestealer out of the infested unit, dealing area damage.
  • Test of Faith (Teleport) gets dispelled as soon as Lifestealer casts Infest.

• Can be cast on, but cannot take control over allied heroes and allied creep-heroes.

• When on level 2 or higher, can be cast on and can take control over ancient creeps.

• Cannot be cast on Roshan For Roshan as he appears in holiday events, see Roshan (Diretide 2012) and Roshan (Diretide 2013) Roshan Ancient Jungle Creep Level 30 Health 5500 Health regeneration 20 Armor 15 Magic resistance 55% Attack damage 65 , couriers, wards This page is about in-game units.

• The infested unit receives the Infest Effect modifier, which creates the visual effect above it, visible to allies only.

• Once purchased, Lifestealer cannot drop or sell his Aghanim`s Scepter.

Notes:

• Appears when Infest is cast and stays until Lifestealer gets out of the host.

• The cast of Control is not registered as a spell cast and thus does not proc any on-cast effects.

• Cannot take control over heroes, creep-heroes and units already owned by Lifestealer. All other infestable units can be controlled.

• When the host cannot be controlled, casting this spell has no effect.

• Mechanics upon cast:
  • This ability turns inactive from Lifestealer`s HUD (it is inactive when the unit is under Lifestealer`s control in general).
  • Lifestealer gets de-selected and the infested unit gets selected automatically.
  • The unit also gains the Consume ability, allowing Lifestealer to consume it from the unit`s HUD.
  • The unit`s mana gets fully restored. Its health stays unaffected.
  • Constantly sets the unit`s movement speed to Lifestealer`s current movement speed, regardless of its default movement speed.
  • The unit`s ownership changes to that of Lifestealer, so upon casting Consume, no bounty is granted and it counts as a deny.
  • If the infested unit was an enemy unit, it appears as an ally for the enemy (its health bar appears green to them).
  • Be that as it may, since its ownership changes to that of Lifestealer`s, enemies can attack it by ordering it. It is not automatically attacked.

• Mechanics when an enemy takes control over the creep ( Enchant, Holy Persuasion, Helm of the Dominator):
  • The Consume ability disappears from its HUD, so Lifestealer cannot consume it from its HUD anymore.
  • The ownership changes from Lifestealer`s to that of the enemy which took control over it, so Lifestealer cannot control it anymore.
  • The unit`s health bar color changes from green to red for the enemy, despite being an ally to them now.
  • Casting Control again as Lifestealer has no effect. He cannot take back the control over the unit.
