Dark Conversion
80 Mana Cooldown: 70 seconds

Channel on an enemy Hero for 0.75 seconds, then swap Health percentages with the target over 3 seconds.


Type: Damage / Healing
Scaling: -
Affects: Enemy Non-Vehicle Heroes / Self
Targeting: Unit Target
Cast time: 0.75+0.15 seconds
Range: 3.75
Tickrate: 2 / s (x6)

  • First, the ability examines both units' life percent. They get assigned HigherHealth (HH) and LowerHealth (LH). Now their current health is "saved", and a new health is now assigned. HH new health is LH's current health percent, while LH new health is HH current (note these are variables, no damage is done yet). Now two new variables are set, SwapDamage, which is HHcurrent-HHnew and SwapHeal, which is LHnew-LHcurrent, this is done to change from percent to a flat ammount. A DoT of SwapDamage strength is made for HH, and SwapHeal HoT for LH. A visual effect is created then if HH is the casting unit (to add insult to injury).
  • The HoT/DoT ticks 6 times over 3 seconds. Once every 0.5 seconds.
  • Since both the DoT and HoT are flat ammounts, this means that they're both affected by anything that affects those effects. Armor reduces the damage, it can be dispelled by effects like Valeera's Cloak of Shadows, and you can multiply the heal by effects such as Valeera's Wound Poison. If the DoT is removed, you'll still get healed. If both heroes have the exact same hp percent, then Mal'Ganis gets a 0 damage DoT while the opponent gets a 0 damage HoT.
  • Interrupting the ability puts it on a 10 second cooldown.
  • Cast is interrupted, if the target moves 3 range past its maximum range.
  • Dark Conversion damage is not affected by the lifesteal from Vampiric Touch.
  • If Mal'Ganis has higher percentage of health than the target enemy hero, the ability will damage Mal'Ganis while healing enemy hero. It can even deal fatal damage to Mal'Ganis.
