A soldier of the future that was sent in another dimension getting in tha war of the scourge against the sentinel.He wanted to go back to his world to defend his tribe because of a terrible war that had broke out.His skills are extraordinary,he can duplicate himself by blinking,ignore the rules of nature by changing dimensions,or even trap enemies in another dimensions.The sentinel promised to him that they will get him back to his world and now he is with the sentinel side.

Dimension blink (d)
The diastasis soldier blinks a short distance leaving a mirror image of him in the location he was before blinking.Image lasts 7 seconds.The image will engage any enemy unit that is within 300 range of it.Has priority of the closest unit to attack.
Level 1 - Blinks a maximum of 400 range.Image has 30% the damage of Versatillian,takes 300% damage.
Level 2 - Blinks a maximum of 500 range.Image has 30% the damage of Versatillian,takes 250% damage.
Level 3 - Blinks a maximum of 600 range.Image has 30% the damage of Versatillian,takes 200% damage.
Level 4 - Blinks a maximum of 700 range.Image has 30% the damage of Versatillian,takes 150% damage.
Mana Cost: 80/75/70/65
Cooldown: 25/20/15/10

Framework: The usual blink of e.g. Akasha.The image will appear at the place the hero was before blinking.

Notes: This skill is to be used to chase an enemy and leave something behind if creeps are chasing you.Also you may use it for escaping from a tower and let the image attack for you.Great for surviving when in danger from an enemy hero.

Curse of kinisis (c)
The Diastasis soldier inflicts a unit with a curse that makes it move faster,but takes damage as it moves.Lasts 8 seconds.
Level 1 - Improves MS by 5%.If the unit moves, it will take damage equal to 1/7 of its MS.If it stands still,it will get healed 15hp/s.
Level 2 - Improves MS by 7%.If the unit moves, it will take damage equal to 1/6 of its MS. If it stands still,it will get healed 20hp/s.
Level 3 - Improves MS by 9%.If the unit moves, it will take damage equal to 1/5 of its MS.If it stands still,it will get healed 25hp/s.
Level 4 - Improves MS by 11%.If the unit moves, it will take damage equal to 1/4 of its MS.If it stands still,it will get healed 30hp/s.
Mana Cost: 100/135/165/195
Cooldown: 30/25/20/15

Framework: The shadow strike icon appears on top of the unit.

Notes: This skill is good for chasing heroes with high MS like Balanar or N'aix.Also good to chase other heroes because they will have-sooner or later-to stand still cause the HP of it will be low.The only thing that causes an enemy hero to run is its low HP so this will help you a lot to get a kill.

Blacksword dimension attack (N/A)
The sword of Versatillian has special abilities and changes the rules of movement as it strikes.If youi strike an enemy that is under the effects of curse of kinisis the unit will get 5 less regen points when stands still.The MS change lasts 2 seconds if not attacked.
Level 1 - Each continious attack of Versatillian makes the enemy loose 0.50% MS and he gains 0.25% MS.
Level 2 - Each continious attack of Versatillian makes the enemy loose 0.75% MS and he gains 0.50% MS.
Level 3 - Each continious attack of Versatillian makes the enemy loose 1% MS and he gains 0.75% MS.
Level 4 - Each continious attack of Versatillian makes the enemy loose 1.25% MS and he gains 1% MS.
Mana Cost: N/A
Cooldown: N/A

Framework: I'm thinking the sword getting black.

Notes: This skill is good for chasing and combines with the other skills to make it easier.However this skill is not that useful against heroes that can bash/storm bolt you because of the lesser duration.

Dimension lock (s)
Versatillian locks a target unit in another dimension for a period of time dealing damage to it.If a hero is killed by this skill,every enemy creature in the map will take damage.Does not affect buildings/mechanical units.The locked target takes damage only by the spell.It is invulnerable to attacks and magic.
Level 1 - Lasts 6 seconds,deals 50 damage per second.If the hero is killed,enemy heroes and creeps take 100 damage.
Level 2 - Lasts 8 seconds,deals 55 damage per second.If the hero is killed,enemy heroes and creeps take 200 damage.
Level 3 - Lasts 9 seconds,deals 60 damage per second.If the hero is killed,enemy heroes and creeps take 300 damage.
Mana Cost: 200/305/355
Cooldown: 120/110/100

Framework: The unit gets inside a black sphere.

Notes: Looks like chronosphere but affects only one unit and a liitle like Culling blade but deals damage to all other heroes.Great for farming also.

Discussion:

Item synergies

The item build is based on damage,AS&MS boosting so you can rapidly attack,chase,and kill.
Item build

1.Power treads:Attack speed and move speed boost needed and these give it to you as they are cheap and good.

2.Sange&Yasha:Further MS&AS boost as well as maiming chance for easier chasing STR boost for higher HP.

3.The butterfly:AS,Evasion which is also important +25 all stats so it gives higher HP.

4.Aegis of the immortal:this will make you more resistant so nukes or other attacks cant deal much to you.

5.Divine rapier:in combination with the items above you cant be stopped.

6.Let this item slot open for items like scroll,water,bottle etc.

This is how your inventory must look like:Scroll is recomended.

Best allies

Supporting heroes and nukers like Vengeful/Magnus or Lina/Lion

Worst enemies

Nukers can be your allies but are very dangerous against you in early/mid/sometimes late game also

Skill synergies

1.Blacksword dimension attack&Curse of kinisis=If stands still the regen rate will become slower and you can chase if he moves.

2.Curse of kinisis&Dimension blink+Dimension lock=If you cant chase with curse of kinisis you can use blinking and when he is low use the ulti.If killed you will get much gold and maybe a double kill!

Interesting hero, the ultimate is kinda weak and a couple places are a tad iffy but its cool

2 By quickbrownfox 2007-01-17

Dimension Blink: Cute variation,but most of the time, you're not tricking anyone with that illusion. I suggest having 2 skills appear when this is leveled, one to blink and leave an illusion at the previous spot, or produce an illusion at the target area. Something out of my Idea bin,you may find it useful. Curse of Kinisis: I think you mean Kinesis,or don't you? Well, needs a duration. Also, approx. 130 damage with 522 MS. Damage per how many units moved,or per second of movement? Blacksword: MS steal per hit. fine as it is. Dimension lock: Reverse the cooldowns,early game should take longewr becauseit is more capable of killing then, late game,it removes an enemy from battle. Stats:Pretty slow on the base AS,1.5 is fair enough. everything else is fine. Overall: Skills look a bit anti-synergistic.Skill to increase your opponents MS for damage and a skill that lowers MS doesn't sound synergistic. AGI chaser.

I reckon the MS steal needs to be higher, especially if you only have 285 base. And... is the ultimate channeling? Almost as strong as Bane's and you don't damage yourself. I reckon for the item build just get BoT and grab another Butterfly, between those you have MORE attack speed, MORE MS, and the teleport for free. I mean, if you're grabbing Aegis-Rapier, why waste cash on scrolls? Overall pretty sweet hero, stats a wee bit high.

4 By Secres 2007-01-17

really good...where do you get those icons?? is there a site for it???

5 By Black Angel 2007-01-17

@quickbrownfox i made the blink leaving the illusion behind cause the normal blink is something usual in many heroes in dota.Curse of kinisis:i mean kinisis as it is.The illusion created at blinking is for striking the towers more as you escape from them.I have forgotten the curses last sorry about that.Your comments are petty useful,thanks man!Ill edit asap.
@ Shimrra_3 the ulti is not channeling.
This hero is good at chasing so i was thinking that the MS steal would be a little unfair.

6 By Black Angel 2007-01-17

So how does it look now?

7 By Shimrra_3 2007-01-17

Pretty powerful, my friend was wondering about the ult channeling, hes a pro Bane player. I suppose it'd be pretty lousy if it made you channel for 9 seconds lol.

8 By quickbrownfox 2007-01-17

I suggested the 2nd part of the blink to make it more combat trick than just an escape tool. confuse the enemy by making the think which one is actially you. Okay as it is, though.

9 By donchovi 2007-01-17

i like this. for dimension blink, increase the %ile of damage the image can do as it lvls. for this, if the range is long enough for the blink, the enemies won't even know that the hero blinked. make it similar to ww but in blink form, that could make this hero dangerous. [2] curse works on friendly unit too right? [3] i saw someone else with continuous attacks, i don't get it...like how if they're runnibng away how can you do cont. attacks. ...this is just a thought but curse goes well with hero with heart.

10 By Black Angel 2007-01-17

@donchovi curse works on friendly unit too.Continious attacks mean that if you attack the enemy without missing,or he escapes you do something to him.
So if the hero blinks the 3rd skills effects will dissapear.

11 By oD.Razor 2007-01-20

i think the blink idea is nice very good but the rest..

12 By Black Angel 2007-01-20

@oD.Razor whats wrong withg the rest?

13 By someone 2007-01-25

...mhmmm nice

14 By Holy Shit 2007-01-26

superb hero..........

15 By Shimrra_3 2007-02-27

Could you cast the ult on an ally to stop him being walloped by enemies?

16 By Black Angel 2007-02-27

I wouldnt reccomend doing it,but yes.As i sad:"Versatillian locks a TARGET UNIT in another dimension" you can do it.

17 By R2 2007-03-15

Very playable hero. I always have a soft spot for AGI heroes who can chase well, so i think Blacksword dimension attack is a decent skill, if you're facing only one enemy. Couple that with Dimension Blink and you could make entire chases through the nine hells
Versatillian.. hmm.. i like the name too.

18 By Nicholas 2007-04-10

Well... nice hero, but... IT'S ULTI IS TOO POWERFULL!!! Come on now! Deals damage to ALL enemies??? I don't know about you, but I think it is very unfair!

19 By Lordsuffa 2007-05-14

Could Curse of Kinisis be used on self wen standing still to heal 320hp?

20 By Lordsuffa 2007-05-14

to heal self i mean lol watchin tv got no maths skills

21 By Mariso 2007-06-18

hmmmmm.

very intresting

i give it like 8.5 ??

my opinion, i think dat the ulti creep dmg should be lowered 25 dmg??

not dat u should lol

22 By rchowmein 2007-06-20

kinisis skill is confusing. be more detailed. cuz you say dmg is 1/4 of move speed. is that just one lump sum of dmg? cuz its not very much and honestly even if i were low on health and you cast that on me, i would just stand there and attack you back while i'm getting back 30 hp/s. It kinda doesn't make sense. its like a backwards rupture that the enemy would use to his advantage.

23 By h2c 2007-06-25

super hero!!!

24 By f1rstwizard 2007-06-26

hey i like this hero, esp the curse of kinisis

25 By XHellspawNX 2007-09-23

Nice blink but i think it should have 5 secs cooldown for chasing and escaping and also the ulty should do at max 500 damage to every unit.

26 By OceanPwntage 2007-10-24

very good overall XD keep up ur good ratings!

27 By AXCELACCEL 2007-11-27

nice hero

28 By folechno 2008-08-01

needs a better background story, with background and less info about his abilities

base stats and stat gains are fine

dimensional blink is cool, and would work well with Magina's new blink animation

curse of kinisis is kinda cool, but with BS and NS they will kill you fast enough that the damage due to the distance mved won't matter (unless you are bs/ns running away from the other), I would take out the healing though, giving your opponents health is generally a bad idea, the threat of

29 By folechno 2008-08-01

damage is good enough to prevent them from moving, also, I'd reduce the mana cost a little

is it damage based on its ms or the distance it travels? (like rupture?) if the first, then you should increase the fractions, if the second then follow the previous comments

the blacksword needs a hotkey, is it an orb effect? the % (both) need to be increased or the effect should last longer than 2 sec (you might get at max 3-4%ms off of them)

30 By folechno 2008-08-04

dimension lock is kinda imba imo, can you attack the enemy hero while he is in the sphere? take away the rape all the units effect and increase the damage a bit, mana cost is pretty good, but you could increase it since it totally disables the hero

if blacksword is an orb effect (which I think it should be) then you can't have SnY, and if you can't have SnY then you will need BoT for enough movespeed to catch up to people and to trigger the blacksword enough

aegis has been changed, so take

31 By folechno 2008-08-04

it and DR out (since you don't have aegis and hp, it's bad to get DR)

skills don't really synergize with any other skills, so he doesn't really work well with other heroes, a support hero would be good to help him so he can become the carry hero

enemies, nukers, orb walkers (if you can't connect with blacksword, then they can escape easily)

disagree with your skill build, I would max blink and blacksword first, he doesn't have the mana to cast curse very often, blink and blacksword help

32 By folechno 2008-08-04

much more in getting first blood and being able to chase, which you say this hero is good for, curse will be more useful mid game when they have a higher ms (so they take more damage) and can be used for mind games to trick them into staying to die

dimension lock at 6/11/16 for sure

creative, fairly balanced, 7/10
