Lion is a ranged character. His primary attribute is intelligence. The hero is mainly taken to the easy lane as a support. Most effective in the early and late game.
A very useful hero at almost any stage of the game due to the Earth Spike and Hex abilities, which allow him to catch and kill even stronger enemies. Thanks to Mana Drain, Lion is able to absorb his opponent's magical energy. After purchasing Aghanim's Shard, this ability can save Lion from a magical attack. Finger of the Death is able to instantly eliminate an enemy. The effectiveness of this spell increases with each opponent killed. After purchasing Aghanim's Scepter, Lion is able to deal massive area damage, which makes him an indispensable unit in team fights.
Once a Grandmaster of the Demon Witch tradition of sorcery, Lion earned fame for fighting on the side of light and righteousness. But adulation corrupts. The mage turned to evil, trading his soul for prestige. He rose from hell, slaying even those who had once called him master. Those who present themselves as his acolytes or students are soon relieved of their mana and carried off by the faintest gust of wind.
