The Dark Lady
Wielding twin, scythe-like blades, the she-reaper known
as the Dark Lady has moved through the Legion’s ranks
like a shadow of death. For soldiers seeking to buck up
their courage, she is a punch-line: “Careful you don’t find
the Dark Lady,” they joke to their carousing friend. But even
these jokes are accompanied by a shudder. Swift and cold and
lethal as the frozen winds off the steps, black as the
cloud-choked night, she is no laughing matter.

New hero!
Great abilities too. Would be great for gangs.
the only thing slightly recognizable is charge strike. looks to me like it resembles windrunners arrow
I’m wondering about the Charging Strikes ability. The “attacks”, are they actual real attacks, just as if she’d done a normal strike? Or is it more like juggernaut’s slashes with his ulti? Does orb effects come into play on every strike?
@Scuffler there is no orb effect in HoN yet. You can have manta style and life steal and get both of them. Also, the attacks are normal yes.
Night Stalker~
No night bonus, no movespeed bonus, no attack speed bonus. Silence doesn’t have a miss chance. I can see the Ns comparison though.
a mix of nightstalker and templar.. or something xP
Wow…great!
How long do Dark Blade actually last? Not the silence, the skill itself.
@HenryD actually i think there is an orb effect in hon. the morph attack items.. and u can see at some skills it also says morph and not stacking with others
how is that ns??
this hero was made from scratch
Charging Strikes looks kinda like a Powershot that blinks you but other than that, all new.
I really like the idea of the ult, I’d shit my pants if I couldn’t see anything, or any of my teammates, and then people just started dying. She seems really fun.
can you put duration of 1st skill buff?
how long will it buff you till it goes off
Reminds me of the assassin Garona
o hai thar tuna
now my question is does her ult really black out everything, like not just a fog of war but totally black (so for example you can blink into fog of war but not a total black area in dota)
It is BALANAR NIGHT STALKER
imo this hero is pretty useless beside ganking right now… change her first skill so she wont be silenced that would make her bit more powerfull…
and her charging strikes, is her base damage dealt? should be a fixed amount of damage like 300 on lvl 4, she has potential
ulti is quite nice though
oooh i got it wrong… the foes are silenced by her first skill ^^
well anyway the charging strikes should get the fixed amount of damage
for th third skill i think its useless to be ranged
I think she is too weak when solo, better to make her damage more, but she is useful when GANGBANG.
She has been buffed and is right now a crazy hero. For all those who didnt know….Theres a very powerful usage for charging strikes.
Pop Dark Blades, then do charging strikes thru enemy team. Whole team is now silenced lol. Keep in mind ur attacks deal the 130% dmg minus the charging strikes multipler.
Add in runed axe and lifesteal and u will practically splash the whole team and suck health to full…IMBA!
THIS IS NO FUCKING BALANAR ITS A NEW HERO MY GOD….
Does her charging strike make her magic immune?
It should! It’s very quick spell anyway
this hero is my fav. its so powerful. its a late game hero. i make steemboots for that extra hp at beginning and helm of black legion. then i make (if needed) magic immunity( that head thing). then i amp up the attack speed because damage is already boosted. and in the end i make lifesteal and that electric hammer thingy. the 20% electric damage on the hammer activates everytime she hits with the strike so by 4 heroes it activates quite sure. you might think shes weak because she has low hp and no armor but when you have lifesteal, anti magic and you activate all your skills she can not be stopped. the slow is good for catching enemies + the strike helps too.
I’ve beaten her once in a game so it’s pretty shit
Best carry in the game.
Anybody saying this is Balanar is, excuse my language, a fucking idiot.
To “HoN G33K”, you are an idiot as well, if you’re saying this hero is shit.
She has insane carry ability and she can dish out a crazy amount of damage. Dark Blades combined with charging strikes makes her a very decent ganker and the silence is amazing to rip apart those squishy int heroes that base themselves on stuns/disables. Her ultimate is very original imo, and very effective as well if used at the right time.
very nice hero overall.
I think the ulti would be way more usefull, if it just hit all heroes like spectre, zeus and silencers ultis
i played Dark Lay a couple of dozens times now and i think she’s a very good hero…
lane until u have enhanced marchers and the mask of madness (DOTA)..
after that, farm, gank for your runed axe (battle fury)…
By the time you have the axe, u can farm whole creep waves in less than 2 sec.
Buy a Shield Breaker or anything with morph effect coz they do stack with life steal and it do splash when using your charging strike…
think of the possibilities: less armor all heroes or bash all enemies or chain lightning each enemies individually, mana burn all enemies, slow all enemies…
as for the combo…
pop ulti then madness, 1st skill then charge kill opponents’ stunner/nuker…
try before commenting..
she has no DOTA equivalent by the way…
Not because she’s called the DARK LADY, you could associate her with NIGHT STALKER…
She has a very unique skill set which when used properly, owns most heroes…
As for skill build i use this..
max 1st and 2nd
leveling ulti every opportunity..
then 2nd skill or stats depending on the opponents…
Haven’t tried shroud though…
the crit would be nice…
and an additional escape mechanism to DL who have 5 escaping ploy with this build would also be nice…
haven’t tried linken or BKB…
i mean maxed 1st and 3rd skill…
hehehe…
you would nerf this hero if you put a damage limit to her 3rd skill…
3rd skill hamonizes with DL’s first skill and her items…
*harmonizes
*harmonizes
my bad
shes an interesting hero. i cant say why i am so appealed to play with her, regardless of her difficulty. you cant just press a button, right click and wait for the kill. you need timing for her 1/3 skill to be effective.
Haha heard much items for but only once with thunderfury… ?!?
WTF, its mostly the best Item for her, first steamboots,then the lifeleech mask, and now u can add the thunderitem… it procs everytime i do the charge, and when i got that build, enemies have hard hard hard hard hard time
.
FAV. HEROE
madness+SnY+Buriza = BLOODBATH!!!!
w/ buts of course
Excellent Hero. Actually my favorite. I find she reminds me of Phantom Assassin from dota with the increased activated attack damage somewhat like an activatable crit, a reworked single-target slow, the charging strikes a re-worked blink strike with the +IAS. Not sure about orbs but the silence buff placer works with the charging strikes so i assume orbs would work as well.
Its easy to farm w her earky cause of the nuke I mean 35 mana is nothin and 75 range dmg is good 4 last hits and its very usefull when chasing fast foes so lvl all the skills and get Riftshards its imba u can 2-3 shot ppl
I prefer to build her with agi items first. Cause the first skill increases BASE damage, so damage from say savage mace or shieldbreaker doesn’t get boosted.
Your starting damage + damage gained from stats/agi items does.
Wow anyone who compares who to NS from Dota needs to /wrists.
The only thing REMOTELY close to him is the slow which is like his void.
IMO TDL needs some buffs. They should improve the duration of Dark Blades by 1 second and buff the duration of the silence in order to make her more useful to the team. Also, they should make the ult global imo.
Still the (second) hardest carry in the game, though.
i tried her. VERY TRICKY, but very interesting. her first skill lasts about 5 seconds i think, which is pretty short. but remember that it doubles her dmg [+ 110%] givs her silence touch [silence target for 2.5, not stackable] and that at lvl 4 its cooldown is 10 sec, meaning after 5 seconds u can cast it again.her second is self explanatory. As for her third skill she is actually blinking AND attacking all enemies along the way. Now it is up to you to figure out how to use this skill properly [hint: try experimenting wit her first skill then 3rd skill, it will silence all enemies hit
]. Last but DEFINITELY not least is this insane ult. it literally disconnects the affected targets from the rest of the team, meaning that they will not see wat the infected sees, nor will he see what his allies see. Again its up to you to figure out how to use it
this is how used it when i played:
i was pushing top lane [im hellbourne] and a major fight was starting mid [3 vs 3]. i run through the forest to join while my allies are backing up, then scout starts attacking me from invisibility. I quickly cast my ultimate and run towards my retreating allies, who turn towards scout. Now the guy starts getting beaten up real bad, but his allies are still pushing in the mid lane. They finally move into the forest and scout backs away to the river [vanish is useless cz swiftblade had eye of true sight] we managed to finish him off just after my ult finished, while the opponents were still in the forest top [we could see them cz we had well placed wards]. our last ally from bot lane caught up and us 5 we managed to get 2 more kills in the forest
so thats a way of doing things, there are many ways to use it. note: no recommended for noobs, requires training and research
This is BALANAR NIGHT STALKER !!!!
lol balanar was nothing like this. u trashy dota noob doesn’t even know his roots, she is original.
@cinderburn, enemies hit by splash are not affected by orbs such as bash and will not give a chance to cause chain lightning.
@zachary read it again, i said orb effects do splash when you used charging strike. i do not say that it splash when you have runed axe.
what im saying is that when you use charging strike, DL physically attack everyone on her path thus enabling morph attack items easily.
