Question 1

What type(s) of vision does Soulbind give over its secondary target?

Accepted Answer

Exposure, shared vision, True Sight - Soulbind cannot bind targets to their invisible allies, but will continue to bind them if they turn invisible.

Question 2

At what range is the Soulbind chain considered 'fully stretched'?

Accepted Answer

600 - The chain is fully stretched at 600 range, but can actually stretch up to 700 range (using forced movement or teleportation) until it breaks.

Question 3

Most forced movement sources can break Soulbind's leash effect. Which of the following cannot?

Accepted Answer

Self-casted Force Staff, Slark's Pounce, Ally-casted Force Staff - Ally-casted Force Staff used to be able to break the leash if the target had not moved after being bound

Question 4

Soulbind does duplicate abilities cast by creeps (including Dominated ones).

Accepted Answer

false A few ways to affect a Soulbind-ed target with a creep ability are through Doom's Devour, or Rubick stealing a Doom's Devour-ed ability

Question 5

Soulbind does duplicate abilities cast by creep-heroes.

Accepted Answer

Only from the Spirit Bear - Brewling abilities are hard-coded to not affect Soulbinded targets, and all other creep-heroes (Familiars, Golem, Astral Spirit) do not have unit-targeted abilities. I guess a double Storm Brewling's Cyclone would be a little strong...

Question 6

Which Soulbind target receives the bonus damage from Legion Commander's Duel if Legion Commander dies?

Accepted Answer

Both - Legion Commander Duels the first, then the second target. If the second target is a creep-hero, neither can be the winner of the Duel (although this used to be possible, +300 damage Spirit Bear!).

Question 7

Pudge's Dismember and Bane's Fiend's Grip always channel for their full duration on its secondary Soulbind-ed target.

Accepted Answer

True, unless the channel was canceled. - This actually used to be the case even if the channel was canceled, as if they couldn't possibly make those two heroes annoying enough. It still applies even if the debuff expires, however.

Question 8

Which Soulbind-ed target's death determines whether Axe's Culling Blade resets its cooldown?

Accepted Answer

Primary - Axe still gains the speed bonus if the secondary target dies to Culling Blade, however. He also receives the extra permanent bonus armor from his innate if either target dies.

Question 9

Which Soulbind-ed target does Clinkz issue an attack order on after casting Tar Bomb?

Accepted Answer

Primary - This used to be the secondary target, as is common with most Soulbind interactions.

Question 10

Death's Prophet can affect a target twice with Spirit Siphon through Soulbind, despite her not being able to cast the ability on units already affected by Spirit Siphon.

Accepted Answer

true If Death's Prophet casts Spirit Siphon on the secondary Soulbind target while already Siphon-ing the first prior to the Soulbind, it will be affected by two Siphons.

Question 11

Soulbind duplicates the 2 Moon Glaives fired on Luna's Lucent Beam from her Level 20 Talent.

Accepted Answer

true This doesn't apply to the Beams that are fired from Eclipse.

Question 12

Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness can only possibly hit its primary Soulbind-ed target. No effect happens to the secondary target.

Accepted Answer

false Charge of Darkness will charge to the secondary target if the charge is blocked by the primary target. This also applies to Huskar's Life Break. This doesn't apply for Spell Reflection, however.

Question 13

Soulbind can duplicate the following auto-cast abilities:

Accepted Answer

None of these - Soulbind does not copy any attack modifiers.

Question 14

Which of the following unit-targeted abilities CANNOT be reflected by Soulbind?

Accepted Answer

Urn of Shadows' Soul Release, Juggernaut's Omnislash - Soul Release will still show its visual effect on the secondary target, but the debuff will not be applied to them. Ion Shell used to ignore Spell Reflection as well.

Question 15

Terrorblade casts Sunder on a Soulbind-ed target. What order do the health values resolve as after casting?

Accepted Answer

Primary target's health Secondary target's health Terrorblade's health - A similar situation happens with Vengeful Spirit's Swap: Vengeful Spirit swaps with the primary target, the primary target swaps with the secondary, then the secondary target swaps with Vengeful Spirit.

Question 16

A unit be affected by more than one Soulbind at a time.

Accepted Answer

false Repeated castings of Soulbind refresh its duration; casting on a third target will not link to either of the two prior targets until the debuff expires.

Question 17

Duplicated abilities can still be reflected/blocked by the secondary Soulbind target through Spell Reflection/Block (e.g. Lotus Orb).

Accepted Answer

true Duplicated Soulbind spells used to ignore Spell Reflection on the secondary target.

Question 18

Soulbind's duration is independently calculated on each target through their status resistance.

Accepted Answer

true If the secondary target has more status resistance than the primary, the bind will expire early for them and the primary target will leash the next valid target.
