Description

Tome Rating: tome_of_knowledgetome_of_knowledge

Lifestealer is a strength core hero who is extremely good against high HP targets. His skillset allowes him to outlive opponents in fights and be durable, while Feast gives him damage based on enemy HP.
Lifestealer lacks three things: attack speed, armor and mobility. He is also good at fighting early, using minus armor to amplify his damage.
