He is based on [[dota2:Shadow Fiend|Shadow Fiend]] from ''Defense of the Ancients: All-Stars''. ==Info== {{Hero bio | melee = | ranged = 5 | solo = 5 | jungler = | carry = 3 | support = | ganker = | initiator = 1 | pusher = 1 | lore = The priests tell young men bound for the battlefield that if they fall, Elysian fields and peace awaits them. But this is not strictly true, not as long as the Soulstealer walks the battlefield. Gathering the spirits of those he kills in a bloody, shadowy sack, he augments his own power with their suffering. Those who see him quake in terror to know that death, for them, will be no release, but only a fiery captivity and oblivion. | role = Soulstealer is one of the most rounded heroes in the game, featuring mana-efficient but damaging magical spells but also high Physical Damage. Soulstealer's only weaknesses are a lack of survivability and mobility, but these can be remedied by amassing wealth. }} ==Abilities== {{Ability infobox|Q |name = Demon Hand |image = Soulstealer Demon Hand.jpg |action = Facing |target = Enemy Units |type = Magic |castactiontime = |castbackswing = |range = |radius = 250 |manacost = 90 |cooldown = 10 |description = Soulstealer calls upon the greater Hellbourne daemons to lay waste to the enemies before him. |effects = Deals {{sc|100/175/250/325}} Magic Damage to each target in radius. |status1 = |status1-effects = |status2 = |status2-effects = |flavortext = Don't grab me there! |notes = * Upon learning Demon Hand, Soulstealer learns three seperate versions of Demon Hand, each dealing damage a certain distance away from Soulstealer.

The larger starting radius makes it slightly more reliable to obtain the full damage at very close distance. * The debuff radius is a circle centered around Soulstealer, expanding to 700 radius over 1 second. * The maximum damage obtainable with Soul Burst is 1200/1800/2400 (with Level 4 Soulsteal), but it requires Soulstealer's hitbox to be inside the unit's by using Unitwalking. * Since the startup is based on cast time, if Soulstealer is stealthed while casting Soul Burst, he will not be unstealthed until Soul Burst goes off. }} {{Heronav}} [[Category:DotA Ports]]
