Attribute Bonus

Ability
Passive
Affects
Self
The Morphling`s Attribute Bonus adds a straight up 2 points to agility, strength and intelligence. You don`t see the icon and bonus points become part of Morphling`s base attributes.
Strength Bonus: 2/4/6/8/10/12/14/16/18/20
Agility Bonus: 2/4/6/8/10/12/14/16/18/20
Intelligence Bonus: 2/4/6/8/10/12/14/16/18/20

Notes:

  • Morphling used this modified version of Attribute Bonus in the gameplay patches 6.04 to 6.28.
  • Unlike the regular Attribute Bonus of all other heroes, this one directly added the attributes to Morphling`s base attributes.
  • This means these extra attributes could be used by Morph.
  • In the gameplay patches 6.04 and 6.04b, this had 14 levels. It required level 1/3/5/7/9/11/13/15/17/19/21/23/25/27 to learn.
    • This means the last level was not learnable since the level cap is at 25.
  • This used to not grant intelligence in the gameplay patches 6.04, 6.04b and 6.20-6.28. It used to grant 1 intelligence in 6.05.
