Plague Rider

Description

The pestilential stench of the Plague Rider can be smelled for miles, a foul warning of the diseases following in its wake. Mounted atop his undead steed, carried aloft on a stinking cloud of flies, the Plague Rider sows sickness among friends and enemies alike, all with the end of spreading disease across the lands of Newerth.

The Plague Rider has nearly limitless mana from consuming units with Extinguish and is able to harass effectively with the low cooldown of Contagion. Earthblight keeps his targets in position for his deadly Plague Carrier, dealing immense damage as it bounces between weakened enemies.
