Cannibalize

Barbarian skill · Survival line · tier 1

Beta 0.7.2

Eats what he brings down. Disgusting and effective.

It has no cooldown: it is always on while it sits on the hero's active bar, and does nothing anywhere else.

Values by rank

Cannibalize scales with Lifesteal. Its value at each rank is 250 + 70 × rank:

Rank12345678910
Value320390460530600670740810880950
Lifesteal+3.2%+3.9%+4.6%+5.3%+6%+6.7%+7.4%+8.1%+8.8%+9.5%

Lifesteal is a percentage stat, so the value is used as written (in basis points, shown here as a percentage), times the skill power.

Lifesteal = value × skill power
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Survival skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it
