Зловещее знамение

Catastrophe·Descendingactive, area, pure damage

Bad Omen summons 1 / 2 / 3 Lava Demons that fight for 10 s; each one deals 150 pure damage and stuns nearby enemies for 1 s when it appears. Three seconds later there is a 50% chance for one more demon to arrive, 60 s cooldown.

Role: an expensive late-game summoner that sits in the back line and adds extra bodies plus stuns to the board. The demons soak damage and buy time for your carries, and he fits Warlock and Cave Clan lineups.

Synergies

Cave Clan · species
Synergy effect: (2) All allies gain +150 health. (4) All allies gain +400 health. (6) All allies gain +400 health, plus additional health equal to 800 × the percentage of the chess player's lost health.
How to play
Cave Clan is the simplest survivability for the whole board: cheap heroes reach (2) in the first rounds, and (4) with its large health boost comes together by the mid game and makes the team noticeably thicker against any damage type. (6) needs the expensive heroes and adds more health the more player health you have already lost, making it a synergy for a player who is behind and wants to claw back through survivability.

Warlock · class
Synergy effect: (2) Allied pieces gain +10% basic attack lifesteal and +10% spell lifesteal. (4) Allied pieces gain +30% basic attack lifesteal and +30% spell lifesteal. (6) Allied pieces gain +30% basic attack lifesteal and +30% spell lifesteal. Death rattle: every time any piece dies, the allied Warlock with the lowest health percentage restores 30% of its maximum health. Class trait: at the start of the battle, Warlocks convert 25% of their health into 50% mana.
How to play
Warlocks are a sustain synergy built on lifesteal: from (2) allies heal through attacks and abilities, (4) makes the effect noticeable in drawn-out fights, and (6) adds the death rattle — healing the weakest Warlock whenever anything dies on the board. The class assembles gradually: cheap heroes give you (2) early, while the higher thresholds are closed by mid- and high-cost heroes in the mid and late game. Warlocks are a good support for any fighters that need to stay alive longer.
