How it works
  • 14% crit chance: that share of basic attacks crit for x 1.75 damage (at the base +75% crit damage), so basic attacks deal x 1.11 on average. Skills never crit; at most 100%.
  • 19% armor penetration: the hero's physical damage counts only 81% of the target's armor (a share, not a flat amount). Against 200 armor 38.2% of a hit lands instead of 33.3% (x 1.15 damage); against 50, 71.2% instead of 66.7% (x 1.07). Penetration from several sources adds up, at most 100%; it does nothing to 0 or negative armor.
  • 6.6% evasion: each basic attack aimed at the unit misses 6.6% of the time (about 0.7 in 10), so basic attack damage taken falls by that share on average. Skills, procs, damage over time and attacks that cannot miss still land. Sources add up, at most 90%.

Lore

Crafted in Hakurai by shadow assassins who wrapped a wolf preybane fang into ribbons of a shadeveil cloak. It shrouds the stalker in silent darkness and tears savagely through weakened prey.

Appearance

A wavy-bladed kris dagger forged from twilight-hued star-iron, finished with a pommel carved from a yellowed direwolf canine tooth. Strips of midnight-blue gloom silk wrap the hilt above an obsidian crossguard, trailing wisps of purple gossamer smoke. Drawn from an oiled leather sheath at the small of the back, the blade shows dark dried marrow along the fuller, pulsing with cold shadow that flares into scarlet malice against wounded targets.
