SKILLS
Shark Bite
Bane infuses his weapon with a stack of Tidal Energy each time he uses a skill (up to 2 stacks). Each of his subsequent Basic Attacks consumes a stack to deal Physical Damage equal to (+95% PA) plus 4 (+0.4 per level) of the target's Max HP to nearby enemies.
(Percent damage dealt based on Max HP Damage Cap against Creeps: 200 (+20 per level). (see Patch Notes 1.7.82 Balance Adjustment))
Crab Claw Cannon
Cooldown: 8–6 s by level
slow
Bane fires his Crab Claw Cannon in the target direction, dealing 150–350 (+160% PA) physical damage to the first enemy hit and then 150%–200% damage to a random enemy behind them (prioritizes enemy heroes). Enemies hit are slowed by 10 (+10% MP)% for 1 second.
Every 100 Physical Attack that Bane possesses reduces this skill's cooldown by an additional 8%.
Ale
Cooldown: 7.5–4.5 s by level
Bane chugs his ale, recovering 200 (+150% MP) plus 5–10 (+1.5% MP)% of his lost HP and gaining 50% extra Movement Speed that decays over 2.5 seconds.
Use Again: Bane spits venom in the target direction, dealing 140–340 (+130% MP) magic damage (scales up to 200% with charging time) to enemies in a fan-shaped area.
Every 100 Magic Power Bane possesses additionally reduces this skill's cooldown by 7%.
