Hero Abilities

Decay

Aghanim's Shard Upgrade: Increases radius by 100. Spawns zombies near each hero hit.

• Multiple casts of Decay stack on both targets and Undying itself.

• Cannot lower Hero Power below 0, but Undying always gains full Power for each Hero hit

• Steals power before damage is dealt
  
• The target's loss of strength does not retain a percentage of their current health to their maximum, but it instantly removes 20 health per strength from their current health.
• Strength gained by Undying also does not retain the percentage of current health to maximum, but instantly adds 20 health per strength to current health.
• If Undying dies, he loses all the stolen power, but this power does not return to enemies - and vice versa.

soul rip

• Can be cast on a tombstone, but not on other ward creatures
• The 1300 search radius is assigned to Undying, not to the target.
• Creatures in the area are randomly selected and have 19/26/33/40 (31/38/45/52) health taken from them (that's health robbing damage). The loss of health will never be fatal.
• Does not count Undying, target, wards, buildings, invisible enemies, and creatures in the fog of war.
• Spell immune allies count, including tombstone zombies.
• Creatures that require a certain number of attacks to kill do not lose health when Soul Rip is applied.
• If there are no suitable creatures within the search radius, then the damage or healing will be equal to zero.
• Damage or healing values are first added together and then applied from a single source.
• Soul Rip deals or heals up to 152/234/330/440 (248/342/450/572) health (before reductions).

Tombstone

• On cast, destroys trees within a 300 radius around the tombstone.

• Zombies do not spawn near invisible creatures or creatures in the Fog of War.

• Zombies do not spawn near wards, buildings, couriers, hidden creatures, and zombies from enemy pellets.

• Zombies are uncontrollable and only attack a given target. However, they can be accelerated with the help of allied spells or auras.
• The first wave of zombies spawns immediately after the tombstone is raised, creating up to 8/9/10/12 waves.
• If the target becomes invisible, the zombie it summons dies after 0.1 seconds.
• If the target dies, the zombie it summons instantly dies, unless the target was Meepo.
  
• If the target is hidden in the fog of war, the zombie it summons will follow it.
• If the tombstone's lifetime expired or was destroyed, then all zombies will instantly die.
  

Zombie Description

Flash Golem

• When used, Flesh Golem interrupts Undying spells being cast.

• Increases overall strength, including additional.

• Periodically checks Undying's strength and instantly adapts the bonus.

• Increases Undying's base movement speed to 330.

• Multiple attacks on the same target do not stack, but refresh the duration.

• Increases all 3 types of damage, including damage dealt to self or allies.

• Flesh Golem is canceled on death.

Learning abilities

The main strength of Undying in the lane is his 3rd skill, with which he wins fights in the early stages of the game. Maxing Decay doesn't make sense due to the small damage increment with level. This skill is pumped once to steal strength from opponents and keep them on their toes.

Talents

In terms of talents, the emphasis is on Tombstone, as this is the main ability of Undying, since a bunch of talents at 20 and 25 leveled summons Tombstone upon death. Taking another talent at level 20 makes sense if you have a fast aganim and everything is good in farming.

For a support

We don't have much money in this position, as we are always in the center of the fight and absorbing damage while trying to deal as much damage as possible. The hero does not have the ability to quickly farm a pack of creeps in the lane, so he has difficulty getting gold.

Gameplay

The potential of the hero must be realized as early as possible, since the longer the game, the weaker the hero becomes. In team fights, Undying's task is to plant Tombstone and spam the rest of the skills. Flesh Golem's ult can be safely used at the very beginning of the battle and does not need to be protected. The ult lasts for a long time, so it will definitely be enough for any fight. In the Undying battle itself, it is advisable to get close to the enemies and thereby increase the effectiveness of the ultimate and do not forget to use all the skills as soon as the cooldown passes. The character brings chaos to the battlefield, diverting attention to himself, while zombies begin to actively multiply and gnaw at enemies.

On the lane, you need to try to hit Decay on two enemies, who will always scatter to the sides when they see you. The hero can win a lane for his cows, thus giving them an initial advantage.

Learning to play Undying is not difficult. It is enough just to figure out how it works and how to properly install the tombstone. You will be surprised how strong and useful a hero can be for the team at the beginning of the game.
