Drowse Needle

ActiveUnit

Send a sedative dart at the current enemy target, putting it briefly to Sleep without dealing damage. Enemies carrying damage over time cannot be selected for this Sleep.

Hint

Use an existing Do T to deny eligibility, disjoint the dart, apply a strong dispel, or let incidental damage wake the sleeper.

Rules & data

FOV grants one ability point per level from 1–22: 15 kit ranks and 7 shared stat boons. Basic ranks normally unlock at 1/3/5/7 (then 9 if a fifth rank exists); ultimate ranks at 6/12/18, up to that ability's authored maximum. Per-ability overrides take priority. These are minimum hero levels, not a wait after your last pick: delayed catch-up ranks are allowed. Every pick is checked against earlier and later allocations.

Boons add +1 to all attributes; all seven ranks unlock at level 2 and share the ability-point budget. Existing shared guides retain later banked picks in the same grid; invalid old picks stay removable.

Talents have not yet been published for this hero; this guide plans abilities only. Innates and item upgrades cost no ability points.

Hero kits are proposed designs and may change during development. This is a planning draft, not a certified in-game build.

PROPOSED LANE PROFICIENCY
  • Mid55
  • Soft Support90
  • Hard Support75
Playstyle

Precise Sleep setup with no damage over time, a small reward for attacking hard-controlled targets, and a short anti-item needle that leaves enemy spellcasting available.

Trade-off

Allied damage can waste Sleep and targets already carrying damage over time cannot be slept. Short attack openings, projectile dodges, dispels and pressure after Tail Skim limit him.
