Hidden Sources

Description

When an ability that causes the Hidden effect, such as OD's Astral Imprisonment or Pudge's shard upgraded Dismember, is used on an allied hero that has cast or is under the effects of an ability that creates a link effect between the target and an enemy or a visual area of effect around the target, the effect will not display but will still apply its damage or debuffs. The abilities this was found to effect are Death Prophet's Spirit Siphon, Razor's Static Link, Bloodseeker's scepter upgrade ability Blood Mist, Clockwerk's Battery Assault, Dark Seer's Ion Shell, Grimstroke's Ink Swell, Lifestealer's Consume sub-ability, Tusk's Tag Team, and Ember Spirit's Flame Guard. Both effects and damage also failed to be applied for Doom's Scorched Earth or Necrophos' Heartstopper Aura.

Can you check if this works the same for other abilities with Hidden mechanic, like OD astral

fortu038 commented 1 year ago

@shaileshgarg This appears to also happen with other abilities that apply the hidden effect to allies like Shadow Demon's Disruption and Phoenix's scepter upgraded Supernova. The issue has been edited to include hidden effects in general and not just Pudge's Dismember.
