Gives Mercurial a chance to avoid damage and disperse it to an area around her. Has a minor stun effect. Can only disperse for as much health as she has.
Proc Chance: 4%/8%/12%/16%
Disperse Radius: 400
A daunting task lies before enemies of Mercurial - killing a shadow with blade and magic.

Notes:

  • This ability got reworked into the current Dispersion in the 6.50 gameplay patch.
  • Reflected damage is not felt by Spectre, effectively reducing the incoming damage.
  • Reflected damage is not shared between enemies. All of them take the full reflected damage.


Vengeance (6.33-6.33b)
Cannot be used by illusions. Does not pierce spell immunity.
W
V
Whenever an enemy kills a unit, it releases an energy to damage its killer as its last act of vengeance.
Radius: 1000
Creep Vengeance Damage: 30/45/60/75
Hero Vengeance Damage: 100/200/300/400
Spectre Illusion Vengeance Damage: 50/100/150/200
Cannot be used by illusions. Spectre`s illusions do not carry this aura.
Modifiers
Debuff Vengeance Aura: Undispellable.

Notes:

  • This ability got replaced by Desolate in the 6.34 gameplay patch.
  • The aura places a debuff on enemy units. If an enemy with the debuff on kills a unit, it damages the killing debuffed enemy instantly.
  • Whether or not denying allies while debuffed causes damage is unknown.
  • The aura`s debuff does not linger.

Haunt (pre 6.33)
Not blocked by Linken`s Sphere. Partially pierces spell immunity.
W

Mercurial haunts the target hero. The hero is frozen in fear while the illusion attacks. The effects of this are amplified if the enemy cannot see the true Avatar of Vengeance. At level 4, Spectre gains the Reality sub-ability.

Partially pierces spell immunity. Cannot be cast on spell immune enemies. If the enemy turns spell immune during it, the stun gets blocked, but the illusion still spawns.
Modifiers
Debuff Haunt: Undispellable.
At the height of combat, Mercurial`s physical manifestation shatters, and the shadowy pieces haunt those who still cling to life.

Notes:

  • This ability got reworked into the current Haunt in the 6.33 gameplay patch.
  • Creates 1 haunt illusion for the target upon cast. This illusion lasts for 0.6 seconds, during which it attacks the target.
  • 4-7 seconds later, the illusion re-appears for another 0.6 seconds, repeating until the target was haunted 3/3/4/5 times.
  • The 4-7 interval timer starts at the beginning of a haunt, not at the end and only uses integers.
  • During the 0.6 seconds of each haunting, the target is stunned.
  • When the target has no vision over Spectre, the haunting and stun duration increase to 1.6 seconds.
  • The illusion is used for each haunt interval. This means when the illusion is destroyed, it does not appear again on the remaining intervals.
    • Be that as it may, the stun is independent and does continue to occur for the remaining intervals.
  • When Spectre or the target are dead upon the next haunting, the spell stops.
    • This means if either respawn before the next interval is going to happen, the spell does not end prematurely.


Reality (pre 6.33)
Pierces spell immunity.

R
Ability
No Target

Mercurial makes the next haunting a reality by visiting the target herself.
Cast Animation: 0+0
Cooldown symbol.png 60
The scattered shadows unite into the one true Spectre.

Notes:

  • This ability got reworked into the current Reality in the 6.33 gameplay patch.
  • Requires Haunt level 4 to be unlocked.
  • Does not disjoint projectiles upon cast.
  • When Reality is cast, the next time a haunting of Haunt occurs, Spectre herself visits the target, instead of a Haunt illusion.
  • This does not skip the 4-7 second interval of Haunt; rather, its effect occurs at the next haunting.
  • When this happens, no further hauntings occur on the target until Haunt is cast on it again.
  • When cast while the target has no vision over Spectre, it uses the 1.6 second stun duration.
  • When Spectre gets moved to the target, the player`s camera is moved as well.
