Tracking down Invisible heroes

[HeartAttack]

Am I suppose to see Invisible Heroes running away? I was playing earlier today,was chasing Madman ,but then he went invisible. For some reason I could track him down because there was a "red glowy aura" running around with the sound of a "heartbeat". Never noticed that before,was it always a game mechanic or someone in my team using some kind of hack?

it is bloodhunters skill, you still cant attack them if they are invis though, you just know where they are.

In madman's case his invisibility only lasts a few seconds so if you can see bloodhunters skill highlighting him, chase him anyway so you can jump him when it expires.

Oh,so thats a Bloodhunter spell =O Thanks

It's not a spell, its a passive. It allows him to follow heroes that have low health, also enhancing his movement speed. Great chasing skill.

Actually, it's a tracking spell that only works when an enemy hero is below 40% hp. I find that getting the HP MP % mod as a .honmod and using that can be very helpful in situations where you're wondering how much hp you have. When I'm playing against bloodhunter and see myself under 40% hp, I quickly regen and run in a completely different direction to throw them off the scent.

At level 4, you can almost see the entire map if someone was under 40% hp, (with edges basically the exceptions if you are in dead middle)

Words of wisdom - don't go under 40% hp when against blood hunter, you WILL be owned.

Maybe of note to OP, aoe attacks still damage invis players. Anyone who can cast at area instead of unit combines well with bloodhunter's ability :)

Weren't you able to attack people if you were standing right next to them and auto-attacking while they were invis when bloodhunter's passive was turned on in DOTA ? Doesn't it work the same way in HON ? =3

Might've in Dota, but in HoN, all it means is a kind of half-LoS, which is still a huge benefit. Mainly it's useful because of the speed bonus it gives.

Hey, not every AoE skill affects invisible heroes. I'm thinking now of Valkyrie's Call of the Valkyrie. Also Javelin of Light doesn't stuns, altought still inflicts damage. Probably there are other examples as well, I'm just lazy to think.

I like the combo BH + Soul Reaper and specially BH + Sand Wraith.

Subtle difference between skills that are true AoE, such as Pyro's stun or Hag's batblast, and skills that will hit any valid target in an area, like that Valk skill or TB's chain lightning. Someone you can't see isn't a valid target for a spell, be it single- or area-targeted.

This was possible in Hon too for a short time, but a update fixed it :mad:

He's right to an extent though. I share Dominaire's definition of AoE, but any attack that requires sight of the target to hit them will still not proc with the blood aura.

Isn't that the case with valk's ulti?
