Dota: Harbinger
68The obsidian destroyer was constructed by the Lich king himself and his necromantic energy. While his birth was accidental, he's proven to be a helpful addition to the scourge forces. The construct has control over psychic energies and utilizes them to cause the sentinels woe. Harbinger's botched summoning has left him with an intense craving for magical energy in hopes that it will mend his broken mind. The construct is always left unsatiated with a desire for more, possibly because he uses his own mental energy to power his psionic attacks. Nevertheless, he's a proud servant of the scourge and looks forward to the day they've won the Defense of the Ancients.
Obsidian Destroyer abilities
A fearsome foe on the battlefield. This scourge hero is weak early on in the Defense of the Ancients, but quickly grows in power as the war wages on. Most of the construct's skills rely on him having many intelligence increasing items for their maximum effect.
Arcane Orb: The Dota Harbinger hero's primary source of damage. It adds a portion of all his remaining mana into your attacks. This is based on the amount you have, and with the proper items, the obsidian destroyer will be able to kill most characters in just a few hits later during the battle. Magic immunity does prevent this additional damage from taking effect.
Sanity's Eclipse: The ultimate ability of this hero character. Harbinger lets out a psionic storm that blankets an area in radiant red energy. Lesser minds will be penetrated and take the full brunt of the storm, usually leaving them as lifeless lumps. Anyone else might be able to resist much of his brutal attack, but the effort will cost them a great deal of mana energy. This ability can be coupled with a refresher orb for a team devastating sequence of attacks.
Astral Imprisonment: Transfers the obsidian destroyer's target into another realm. They return a few seconds later, but refuse to say what they saw. Even the scourge have nightmares about what lies on the other side.
Essence Aura: Any allied forces near Harbinger will have a chance to regain a large amount of mana whenever they cast a spell. This has a lesser effect whenever he casts his arcane orb.
