Hero Skills Breakdown
1. Sticky Napalm
Drenches a target area in highly flammable oil. Any damage dealt by the caster to units affected by this substance is significantly amplified, while the targets suffer from reduced movement speed and restricted turn rates. Stacking this effect on the same targets increases these penalties and refreshes the effect duration.
- Damage Type: Magical
- Unique Behaviors: Damage does not amplify items like Radiance or Urn of Shadows; deals reduced damage to non-hero units.

Quick Gameplay Tips
- Napalm Stacking: Always apply Sticky Napalm before engaging with Flamebreak or Firefly. The damage amplification per stack is what makes your abilities lethal; hitting a target with 3+ stacks of Napalm significantly increases the damage output of your lingering fire.
- Lasso Dragging: When you have successfully secured a target with Flaming Lasso, do not move in a straight line if possible. Maneuver in a way that drags the enemy through your Firefly trail or towards your allies. Ensure you do not use Blink immediately after snagging a hero, as it will cause the lasso to break instantly.
- Positioning with Firefly: Use Firefly to bypass terrain obstacles during ganks. Being able to fly over trees and cliffs allows you to approach targets from unexpected angles, setting up a perfect Flaming Lasso without the enemy having time to react.
