Passive Ability Effect
Shadow LeechSHADOW LEECH
Control
After Marja takes damage, she restores her HP and reduces enemy movement speed by 20% for 2 seconds with each normal attack and ability hit.
Ability Mechanics:

  • Life steal and magic life steal increase by 1% for every 2% of HP lost
    • the formula for Ghostwalk provides less healing than Dark Pulse and Soul Devourer. 
    • When the heal amount is under 50, Marja will still heal but the green number won’t appear (this applies to all heroes, but is relevant for Marja players who may erroneously believe her passive is bugged)
  • “Ability hit” means every time an enemy is damaged, so damaging multiple enemies will multiply the heal received
  • There is no time limit on the word “after”: Marja simply can’t heal if she hasn’t taken damage  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • Additional magic damage dealt via items like Apocalypse and Zweihander will heal Marja in addition to the heal from her normal attack. Additional physical damage from Omni Arms does not heal

Ability Mechanics:

  • Ability Range: 600 units
  • Damages all enemies in range
    • Cannot be manually aimed unlike most other auto-aim abilities
  • The Soul Devourer must travel to the enemy before the damage is conveyed
    • Though there is an animation showing the Soul Devourer returning, the heal occurs at the same time the damage is conveyed
    • Even when directly next to an enemy, the Soul Devourer still takes about half a second to connect 
Ultimate Effect
GHOSTWALK
Mana: 0
Magic Damage
Marja turns into a phantom, increasing her movement speed by 30% and becoming immune to damage for 2 seconds. She deals 450 (+0.65 AP) magic damage to nearby enemies when she enters and exits Ghostwalk.

Base Damage 450 675 900
Cooldown 24 24 24
Ability Mechanics:

  • Damage Range: 400 units
  • Dark Pulse, Soul Devourer, and normal attacks can be used during Ghostwalk
  • Removes slows and roots, but cannot be used when stunned
  • Cannot pass through walls
  • Allied buffs, like Alice‘s Friendship, do not affect Marja while Ghostwalk-ing
    • the heal talent does not heal Marja in Ghostwalk, even when used by Marja. The other talents all work
    • the healing from Marja’s passive works during Ghostwalk

In-Game Tool Tip

Marja’s regeneration is not very strong, so she will need some equipment to cover that. Her normal attacks reduce enemy movement speed, so use them more when you need to slow enemies down.

  1. I thought I said this alr
    For every 2% hp lost of Marja, she gains 1% lifesteal and spellvamp
    The slow one is
    For evevy 5% hp lost of Marja, she slows enemies on dmg by 1% more. Max 20%

    • If you had I totally missed it! Thanks for the clue, as I was too dumb to check her lifesteal/magic life steal mechanics when testing. I had thought it was a separate effect similar to Kil’groth or Lubu’s regeneration effects.
