Naga Siren is a Charisma hero

Able to captivate and disable enemies with her song.
Once a highly regarded commander of the Slithereen Guard, Slithice fell from honor following a seemingly trivial oversight. She was to find the one stolen chalice, or remain banished forever. Slithice splits a squad of Mirror Images, sending them to scout ahead and Reel In mislead foes. She Ensnares targets in a luminous net, then lashes out with Rip Tides to soften their armor. With the sound of her voice, the enemy halts in mid-swing, lowering their weapons at the sound of a haunting aria. There they will stand, mesmerized, unresponsive to Slithice's encircling allies as they listen to the Siren's Song that has lulled them to their deaths.

Bio

Slithice, the Naga Siren

▶️ "I sing the Siren song of war."

Lore:

Among the high-sworn of the Slithereen Guard there is a solemn vow oft repeated before battle: No Slithereen may fail. In truth, these words are equal parts oath and enforceable covenant, for those who fall short of their duty are banished from the order. To fail is to be other than Slithereen.

Once most highly esteemed of her race, Slithice for many years commanded a battalion of her fellows, using her formidable voice as her greatest weapon. Powerful, sinuous, serpentine, she led her deadly Guard in defense of the Deep Ones, and the great wealth of the sunken cities. But in the final battle of Crey, her forces were driven back by a marauding army of levianths intent on finding tribute for their god Maelrawn. After the long and bloody onslaught, as the bodies were cleared from the sunken halls, a single jeweled chalice was found missing from the trove. Of her hundred Guard, only a handful survived, but their bravery and sacrifice were of little consequence. What mattered was that treasure was taken. Honor destroyed. And so Naga Siren was cast out. Banished to search for the stolen chalice. Though she might add a hundred times her weight to the golden trove, she is doomed to live apart until that day she returns that which was taken. For no amount of gold is equal in honor to the honor she lost.

Slithice, while being strong in her own right, is notoriously hard to track down.

• Applies a basic dispel on Naga Siren and disjoints projectiles upon cast.

• Naga Siren is invulnerable, hidden and spell immune during the 0.5-second split time.

• After the 0.5-second split time, Naga Siren reappears with her illusions.
  • The reappear locations are based on Naga Siren's position upon cast, with one appearing at the cast location, and the others north, east, south, or west from that point.
  • This means when spawning 3 illusions, the formation is T-shaped and when spawning 4 illusions, it is shaped like a plus.
  • Though the formation is always the same, Naga Siren and her illusions take a random position in the formation and have all the same facing angle.
  • The illusions have a
    expr
    2 × IllusionLVL bounty.

• The distance in between each created illusion is 108-distance if the caster's collision size is 27, and 72-distance if its collision size is 18.

• Orders the caster to stop after the split time, canceling all queued orders, and orders given during the split time.
  • Also stops all ongoing targeted orders of other units that have been issued before Mirror Image was cast.

• Successive casts replace the illusions from the previous cast, no matter under whose control they are.

Ability Draft Notes:

Toggling Autocast on swaps this ability out with Reel In. Their cooldowns are separate.

The only way to escape the onslaught of a Slithereen is to never oppose one in the first place.

• The net travels at a speed of 1500 ( 2400).

• Roots the target, preventing it from moving and casting certain mobility abilities.
  • Provides True Sight over the target.
  • Can be cast on and fully affects any invulnerable unit, not just sleeping units.
  • Fully affects Couriers.

• All illusions owned by Naga Siren within 900 range of the target also cast a fake Ensnare.
  • They play the whole cast animation and release their fake nets at the same time the real net is released.
  • When illusions currently do not have any order and are standing still, they turn to face the target and cast the fake nets.
  • When illusions are moving or attacking, they continue to do so and do not turn to face the target. They still play the cast animation, overriding their move or attack animations.
  • When canceling the cast, the illusions still play the full cast animation, but do not release the fake nets.
  • The fake nets do not interact with anything and do not root.

• SCEPTER
  Increases the default cast range to 800/840/880/920.
  • Stacks additively with other sources of percentage-based cast range manipulations, and is calculated after all flat cast range bonuses.

A torrent from the Deep Ones crushes the defenses of the Siren's enemies.

• Each successful attack performed by Naga Siren or her illusions applies the attack counter buff on Naga Siren.
  • If the buff is already present, its stack count gets increased instead.
  • Counts attacks against any enemy unit, except buildings.
  • The counter buff has no duration and lasts indefinitely.

• When the counter reaches 6 ( 5), Rip Tide's effects are applied around all units under Naga Siren's control that have this ability, and the counter buff is removed.

• Enemies may only be hit by one instance, even when within range of multiple Rip Tides. Neither the damage nor the debuff stack.

• The damage source of all Rip Tides is the unit that performed the triggering attack, meaning on-damage effects react on the unit that triggered it (e.g. Blade Mail).

• Rip Tide first applies the armor reduction debuff, the Rip Tide damage, then the attack damage.

    • Hidden units, unless it turns hidden while already being moved.
    • Units affected by true sight immunity.
    • Untargetable units.
    • Tree Dance unit, although the ability can be cast on them.

Slithice's powerful voice enchants leagues of opponents, while calling her Slithereen kin in a time of need.

• Applies a sleep on affected units, preventing them from acting until woken up.

• Affected units are invulnerable while sleeping.

• Song of the Siren's radius is centered on Naga Siren for the entire duration, so if she moves far enough away from affected units, they wake up.

• Naga Siren is unable to level Song of the Siren up while this sub-ability is active.

Recommended Items

Starting items:

• Tango provides needed health regeneration during the laning phase.
• Healing Salve also restores health early on.

Mid game:

• Diffusal Blade gives her more damage, armor and attack speed, as well as Manabreak on attacks which greatly boosts damage output of her and her illusions.
• Manta Style gives her good attribute bonuses as well as the ability to summon more illusions.
• Radiance gives a lot of damage and the Radiance aura works on illusions, giving Naga Siren the ability to farm multiple areas of the map at the same time thanks to Mirror Image. Makes ultimate ability very dangerous. Positioning deep inside of enemies prevents enemies from blinking away or in once ultimate expired and they got a tick of damage from Radiance.

Late game:

• Octarine Core reduces the cooldowns of Naga Siren's abilities, greatly improving her pushing power and making her much harder to gank.
• Aghanim's Scepter allows Naga Siren to cast Ensnare on spell immune enemies and it also gives her Reel In ability, with which she can pull the enemy hero affected by Ensnare to herself and her team, similarly to Batrider's Flaming Lasso.
• Aghanim's Shard provides great heal to allied heroes during Song of the Siren, a terrific support item to boost team's survivability and turn around teamfights.
• Bloodthorn will give Naga Siren great attack speed, attack damage, intelligence, magic resistance, health regeneration and mana regeneration, and will allow her to silence and enemy hero and to cause every attack from her and her illusions to have true strike while also weakening spell damage of the enemy who gets attacked by it.

Situational items:

• Infused Raindrops gives good mana regeneration to keep using your abilities, and allows Naga Siren to survive some magical burst.
• Magic Wand provides attributes and burst of health and mana, a useful sustain item no matter the role of Naga Siren.
• Arcane Boots solve Naga Siren's early mana issues, and it can later be upgraded into Guardian Greaves to heal nearby allied heroes and to apply a basic dispel on Naga Siren.
• Drum of Endurance gives solid overall attributes, and an active that increases movement and attack speed to Naga Siren, allied heroes, and illusions around her.
• Meteor Hammer's area stun combos well with Song of the Siren, giving the enemies little time to react.
• Spirit Vessel grants Naga Siren various bonuses like health and movement speed, as well as an ability to heal teammates or counter enemy healing.
• Blink Dagger grants mobility so Naga Siren can better initiate with Song of the Siren.
• Boots of Travel makes Naga Siren an incredibly strong pusher and increases her farm speed.
• Heart of Tarrasque provides a large amount of health, tanking Naga Siren and her illusions up massively. It also provides enormous passive health regeneration while not fighting, so she can return to fights faster with full health.
• Butterfly offers bonus attack speed, damage, and armor, as well as evasion that gives more survivability to her and her illusions.
• Linken's Sphere provides good all around attributes as well as regeneration, which allows Naga Siren to stay farming without having to go back to base. On top of that, it provides a spellblock which can make Naga Siren harder to kill in conjunction with Song of the Siren.
• Dagon can give Naga Siren great magical burst damage and a tool to put Linken's Sphere on cooldown if an enemy hero tries to protect themselves with it against Ensnare. And it will also give Naga Siren spell lifesteal, which will allow her to heal herself by dealing damage with Rip Tide and Radiance.
• Ethereal Blade can give Naga Siren good attributes, bonus mana regeneration, protection against enemy heroes who rely on physical damage, and it can also amplify the damage or Rip Tide, Radiance and Dagon (if she already has it) and increase the cast range of Ensnare. However, Ethereal Blade should be bought only when playing Naga Siren as Nuker because Naga Siren relies mostly on direct attacks to be effective.
• Veil of Discord can give Naga Siren some good attribute points and it can also amplify the damage of Rip Tide, Radiance, Ethereal Blade and Dagon (if she already has it).
• Revenant's Brooch will give Naga Siren and her illusions great attack damage, and spell lifesteal that will allow them to heal themselves by dealing damage with Rip Tide and Radiance.

• Shiva's Guard, an upgrade for Veil of Discord will give Naga Siren and her illusions nice attributes, lots of armor, and will also allow Naga Siren to weaken attack speed, healing and magic resistance of nearby enemy heroes, making them more vulnerable to Rip Tide's magical damage.
• Black King Bar will give Naga Siren spell immunity, which will allow Naga Siren to fight against enemy heroes during teamfights with minimal risk of getting affected by enemy abilities and items alike.
• Monkey King Bar will allow Naga Siren's attacks to pierce through the evasion, allowing her to have easier time to apply Rip Tide on enemies.

• Song of the Siren's ▶️ sound is based on this ▶️ voice line of Naga Siren. Whether there is an extended version of that line or if the rest of the song was manually put together is unknown.
