  • Reworked Split Shot
Old Split Shot:
Medusa magically splits one arrow into many, firing an arrow at multiple nearby enemies.
Radius: 700
Number of arrows: 4/5/6
Damage per arrow: 100%
Notes: Is an ultimate-like and a passive ability in Medusa`s 4th ability slot. Requires level 5/9/13 to be leveled.
New Split Shot:
Medusa magically splits her shot into three arrows. These arrows deal a lower percent of her normal damage.
Radius: 700
Number of arrows: 3
Damage per arrow: 20%/30%/40%/50%
Notes: Is a regular toggle ability in Medusa`s 1st ability slot. Requires level 1/3/5/7 to be leveled, like regular abilities. All her attacks deal the reduced damage when toggled on, not only the extra arrows.
Gaze:
Medusa focuses her most ancient power on an enemy unit. It slowly turns the unit into stone, slowing its movement speed. Medusa must channel all of her energy into this Gaze. Taking damage breaks the channeling. The slowing effect of the stone slows the unit`s speed for up to 5 seconds.
Cast range: 500
Max channel time: 10
Movement speed slow per second: 9%/18%/27%
Attack speed slow per second: 9/18/27
Slow duration: 5
Mana cost: 150/200/250
Cooldown: 45
Notes: Is a channeling ability. The slow gets stronger by the mentioned values for each channeled second. When the channeling ends or gets canceled, the slow lingers for 5 more seconds. Recasting this on the same unit resets the slow.
