Broodmother (Dota 2) - Broodmother Skills

This page details each of Broodmother's abilities/skills.

First Ability

Spawn Spiderlings [Keybind: Q]
	Ability Affects Damage Target Unit Enemies Magical
	Broodmother injects her young into an enemy unit, dealing damage. The spiderlings will hatch if the target is killed while under this influence.
Range: 700 Damage: 75/150/225/300 Count: 1/2/3/4 Cooldown: 10 seconds Mana Cost: 120
Lore: Black Arachnia continues to raise her young, even amidst the field of combat. The brood quickly learns how to support their mother. Is blocked by Spell Immunity. Units from which the Spiderlings spawn leave no corpse on death. If the target is killed within 2 seconds of being hit by this ability, regardless of what the killer is, the Spiderlings will spawn (This includes denying an "infected" ally or committing suicide). Units killed by Spiderlings will then give birth to Spiderites, smaller and less powerful versions of the Spiderlings.

Second Ability

Spin Web [Keybind: W]
	Ability Affects Target Point Broodmother & Spiders
	Throws out a web that renders Broodmother and her Spiderlings invisible, grants a passive movement speed increase, gives free movement, and boosts regeneration while in its vicinity. Free movement is disabled for 6 seconds if damage is taken. Webs never expire. When the maximum limit of webs is exceeded, the oldest web disappears.
Range: 1000 Radius: 900 Maximum Webs: 2/4/6/8 Bonus Health Regeneration: 2/4/6/8 Bonus Movement Speed: Double Charges: 1/2/3/4 Replenish Time: 40 seconds Mana Cost: 50
Lore: Weaving a bed of silken fibers, Arachnia's web both protects her and her offspring, as well as giving advancing opponents a sense of foreboding. Has an invisibility fade time of 2 seconds, but invisibility is instantly lost outside the web. Spin Webs are selectable and have an ability to destroy themselves. Spin Web can be cast from anywhere as long as the new web touches another. Movement speed and health regeneration are instantly granted and lost when moving in or out of the web. Also affects Spiderlings and Spiderites. If more webs are spawned than allowed, the oldest one will disappear. Webs are marked by icons on the minimap. She gains unobstructed movement within the web (can walk over cliffs, trees, etc) with no collision box. Spiderlings get unobstructed movement and move speed bonus. Unobstructed movement is disabled for 6 seconds when she takes damage. Has a 0.4 cast point (slower than default). Broodmother will not be able to become invisible while muted, but will not lose her invisibility if she is already on a web. Other components behave normally. Whenever Broodmother is taken out of Spin Web's free pathing, she destroys nearby trees.

Third Ability

Incapacitating Bite [Keybind: E]
	Ability Affects Passive Enemies
	Broodmother's venom cripples enemy units, causing her attacks to slow, as well as giving the affected unit a chance to miss its attacks. Incapacitating Bite is a Unique Attack Modifier, and does not stack with other Unique Attack Modifiers.
Duration: 2 Miss Chance: 30%/40%/50%/60% Move Slow: 10%/20%/30%/40%
Lore: Paralytic toxins come from Black Arachnia's fangs, causing a slow and painful death to those who intrude on her webs. Is blocked by Spell Immunity. Is a unique attack modifier. Illusions possess it. The affected enemies' miss chance stacks with evasion and terrain dodge chance.

Ultimate Ability

Insatiable Hunger [Keybind: R]
	Ability Affects No Target Self
	A violent lust for vital fluids increases Broodmother's attack damage and gives her a vampiric attack.
Bonus Damage: 60/80/100 Lifesteal: 60%/80%/100% Duration: 14 Cooldown: 45 seconds Mana Cost: 100
Lore: While most of her prey is wrapped in silken cocoons and saved for her young, the Broodmother herself has a taste for wandering heroes. Fully stacks with all items providing lifesteal (both Unique Attack Modifiers and auras). Can only be removed by Purge (from Diffusal Blade, Demonic Purge, Unstable Current, or the Satyr Trickster).
