Intelligence Heroes

But once you master them, Intelligence heroes can turn into an unstoppable force, obliterating enemy heroes in mere seconds with a cavalcade of malicious magic. If you're willing to put in a little extra work to learn their intricacies, these heroes will not disappoint when it comes to pure spellpower.

Ancient Apparition

Ice Vortex: Creates a vortex of icy energy that slows movement speed (18%/22%/26%/30%) and increases magic damage done in its range (magic resist reduced by 10%/15%/20%/25%). Lasts 12 seconds.

Ice Blast: An explosive ball of icy hail that can be used to strike targets anywhere on the map. On first use, Kaldr launches a tracer towards the targeted location.

It deals damage (250/350/450) to enemy units and applies a frostbite curse to units in and around the area that prevents regeneration or healing. Frostbitten units will take minor damage over time; if the units drop below a certain percentage (10%/11%/12%) of HP, they'll instantly shatter and die.
