Auroth, the Winter Wyvern[edit]
| Recommended Roles |
 Support  Disabler  Nuker
|
Like many great poets, Auroth just wants time to write, but the Winter Wyvern's life is full of interruptions. The epics of the Eldwurms have a long and colorful history, but some fear that the remaining dragon scholars are not as prolific as they once were, with few lines added to the Eldwurm Eddas since the last age of greatness. Auroth laments: "We forget that there is more to life than triumph and dominion over enemies. We must also live our lives in the pursuit of creative expression." She embarks on research expeditions, collecting books for inspiration. But all this research can be terribly distracting, and she spends less time writing than she should. Although she knows she should be lurking in her lair, adding to the Eddas, she finds herself engaged in epic battles against powerful enemies. She loots castles, raids ancient libraries ... and if she happens to heap glory on herself in the process, she tells herself that it's merely a side effect of her research. The fact is, while her skill and power on the battlefield are legendary, her scholarly travails have thus far hardly been the stuff of literary acclaim. But she is not content to stand as a protagonist of heroic lore. She wishes also to create it.
Winter Wyvern stalks the skies, slowing foes with burning cold as she soars over the battlefield. Should the enemy be foolish enough to gather, she curses them to attack one of their own as she blasts the gathering with icy splinters.
Abilities[edit]
Arctic Burn
QR
Winter Wyvern soars upon an arctic wind, granting her unobstructed movement and allowing her to exhale a blistering chill into each attack. While soaring, her attacks travel further and faster, and slow enemies with a burning freeze that strips them of a percentage of their current health each second.
Her sight is also hardened against night's chill, granting her additional vision range at night.

The same organ where some dragons stoke their inner flame is, in Auroth, a crucible of unimaginable cold. From deep within her frosty gullet, an exhalation sends enemies into burning agony.
Notes
- The health burn is based on a percentage of the enemy's current hp.
- Auroth can move through impassable terrain for the duration.
- Destroys trees in a 250 radius around Auroth when the duration ends.
- The debuff can only be applied to enemies once per cast. Aghanim's Scepter removes this limit.
- Does not affect Roshan.
Splinter Blast
WT
Launches a ball of brittle ice toward an enemy. The ice shatters on impact, leaving the primary target completely unaffected, while hurling damaging splinters into nearby enemies within a radius. Enemies struck by these splinters are slowed.

Cold Embrace
EE
Encases an ally in an icy cocoon, freezing them solid while healing a base amount as well as a percentage of their maximum health each second. The cocoon blocks all physical damage.

| |
| Affected by cast range bonus. |
From winter's heart comes a cold, healing embrace. The ice slows the blood and allows the spell to better work its curative magic.
Notes
- Total heal:
- 56/72/88/104 + 12%/16%/20%/24%
- The heal is based on a percentage of the ally's maximum HP.
- The allied unit is disabled for the duration of the buff.
Winter's Curse

Unit Target
Affects
Enemy Units
Enemy Units
Winter Wyvern dispells then freezes an enemy in place while striking those nearby with a maddening curse which causes them to attack their frozen ally with increased attack speed. The frozen ally and those cursed to attack their ally are immune to all damage from their enemies with the exception of magic and pure damage from Winter Wyvern or her controlled units, that is amplified.

| Pierce Debuff Immunity on the primary target. Does not pierce Debuff Immunity on secondary targets. | |
| Blocked by Spell Block. | |
| Reflected by Spell Reflection. | |
| Dispellable only by death.
| |
| Affected by cast range bonus. |
The oldest of Auroth's spells, the curse lends truth to the old saw: sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my enemy still.
Notes
- Winter Wyvern gets credit for kills done this way.
- The taunt radius moves with the stunned target. Entering the radius will force attacks to the target. Exiting the radius will not dispel it. The curse ends when the stunned target dies.
- All units affected by Winter's Curse are immune to damage from enemies, except from the Winter Wyvern player's hero or units.
