All Documented Modifications (5)
Designer Note
A Blood Demon who can pass the damage to multiple enemies via the link of curse.
Carmilla steals Physical & Magic Defense (scales with level) from the enemies while dealing damage to them. Each target can be stolen only once in several seconds. The stolen Physical & Magic Defense can be stacked up to 5 times.
Carmilla increases her Movement Speed, and summons 2 Crimson Flowers circling around herself. Enemies hit by the Crimson Flower will receive Magic Damage and be slowed down. Meanwhile, the circling speed of the Crimson Flowers will be increased. Each time the Crimson Flowers deal damage to enemies, Carmilla will restore HP.
Carmilla accumulates Bloodbath Energy, greatly increasing her Movement Speed (decays rapidly). Use Again: Carmilla casts Bloodbath Energy to a designated enemy (cannot target at Minions), dealing Magic Damage and stunning the enemy. (The damage and the stunning duration scale with the Bloodbath Energy accumulation.)
Carmilla casts Curse of Blood in a designated direction. The Curse will spread out from the target enemy to nearby enemy heroes (capped at 3 targets), dealing Magic Damage and slowing them down. The debuff and control effect will be shared among all cursed enemies, whilst the damage and control duration will decay.
