As for its stats, the item gives the following attributes.

  • +60 adaptive damage
  • +15 movement speed
  • Unique Passive – Lethality: After dealing damage to an enemy hero, excutes the hero if their HP is lower than 6%.
    Gains 10 stack(s) of Lifebane for each kill and loses 30% of current stack(s) for each death.
    Each stack of Lifebane increases the HP threshold of the execute effect by 0.1%, stacking up to 60 times.

What makes it even more lethal is that the HP threshold of the execute effect increases with each kill, making it a powerful option for early-game assassins who tend to secure many kills in the first 10 minutes of the game.

Furthermore, this item serves as a good substitute for the Execute battle spell, offering flexibility for assassins to choose other battle spells while still maintaining a powerful finishing move.
