Notes
Shooting an enemy hero deals 45 damage and applies 1 stack of Siphon* for 20 seconds, refreshing on subsequent applications, and stacking infinitely. Afflicting an enemy with Siphon places the effect on a per-user cooldown of 0.8 seconds. Each stack of Siphon lowers the maximum health of affected heroes by 45.
- The damage dealt by Siphon Bullets is not able to be increased in any way or lowered in any way by Bullet Resist or Spirit Resist. (Shiv's Bloodletting has a bug which enables him to entirely mitigate a portion of this dealt damage as it is visually deferred but he does not take damage).
- The damage is not subject to damage falloff and does not proc item effects.
- Siphon Bullets can be applied by Ricochet, but the per-user cooldown of 0.8 seconds still applies.
Upon inflicting Siphon on an enemy, the user gains one stack of Siphoning for 20 seconds and then heals 0.45 health for every 1% of maximum health they are missing, up to 45 at 100% missing health. Each stack of Siphoning increases maximum health by 45. When an enemy with Siphon has their stacks refreshed, the Siphoning stacks gained from that enemy also have their duration refreshed. If Siphoning stacks have been gained from multiple enemies, refreshing the duration of Siphon on an enemy will only refresh the duration of Siphoning stacks gained from that target.
When an enemy affected by Siphon dies, the item holder heals 45 health and gains one invisible stack of Siphoner. Additionally, the killed enemy gains one invisible and uncleansable stack of Siphoned. Upon death, the two most recently applied Siphoned stacks are removed from their targets and the item holder will lose two stacks of Siphoner.
- Selling Siphon Bullets does not remove Siphoned or Siphoner from their targets.
Health gained from Siphoning is visible on the user's healthbar to allies and enemies.
*All visible buff/debuff stacks are labelled as "Siphon Bullets" in-game. The health gained from kills is not explicitly displayed to the item holder or the target. Terms have been adjusted for clarity on this page.
