Stalker · Bloodthirsty · Cruel
Identity
Drifter hunts enemies who are cut off from help. He can follow a marked target and plunge a fight into darkness, leaving his prey isolated even among teammates.
Swipe at enemies in a cone ahead of you, dealing spirit damage. If the enemy is in close range, deal bonus melee damage.
How to use. Use Rend at close range when you can benefit from its melee bonus. It can secure a last-hit and start the short trade.
Send out a mark that bleeds the first target it hits, dealing spirit damage over time. While the enemy is bleeding you can re-activate Stalker's Mark to instantly appear behind their back.
How to use. Put Stalker’s Mark on an isolated hero, then reactivate it when closing the distance creates a real kill opportunity. Avoid marking the hardest frontliner in a small fight just because they are closest.
See in-game tooltip.
How to use. Bloodscent is passive and rewards you for fighting isolated targets. Play toward the part of the map where one enemy is separated from reliable help.
Surround nearby enemy heroes in darkness, severely limiting their vision of other units. Affected enemies are briefly revealed to you and are considered isolated for the duration. You gain bonus sprint speed.
How to use. Use Eternal Night on the group or pair you want to split apart. The vision loss creates the isolation window; use that window to focus one target.
