Lore
Former head of House Paxley who'd stop at nothing to revive her lover. In a battle against the Abyss' invasion. Valentina and her lover, Irlan, were betrayed by some members of House Paxley, which eventually caused Irlan to lose his soul. To revive her lover, Valentina made a deal with an Evil God and gained immortality and the power of shadow. Since then, she'd been hiding among the shadows, silently waiting for the appearance of the Heart of Anima—a broken piece from the Twilight Orb that was said to be the key to retrieving her lover's soul.

Skills
Primal ForceValentina gains 8-50 extra EXP (scales with level) each time she deals damage to an enemy hero. Cooldown: 2s. If the enemy hero's level is not higher than hers, 30% of the damage dealt is converted into her HP.
Shadow StrikeValentina casts Shadow Strike in the target direction, dealing 475 (+145% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies hit and slowing them by 40% for 1s. Enemy heroes hit are marked with a Shadow Sigil for 4s. Marked enemies hit by Shadow Strike again are Terrified for 1s (a target can only be terrified once every 4s).
Arcane ShadeValentina dashes in the target direction, firing 3 Shadow Bolts at nearby enemies that deal 90 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage each. She can cast this skill again within 6s (costs Mana). Each time a Shadow Bolt hits an enemy, the cooldown of Shadow Strike is reduced by 1s.
I Am YouValentina slows the target enemy hero by 70% for 0.5s and gains the ability to cast their Ultimate. Casting the enemy's Ultimate turns her into the enemy hero's form and inherits their Basic Attack type for up to 12s (her regular skills remain unchanged unless the enemy's Ultimate has a Morph effect). The stolen Ultimate's level equals Valentina's own Ultimate level, and its cooldown is 120% of the target's (but no lower than 10s). If the target is a Physical Damage hero, Valentina gains (+100% Total Magic Power) for the duration. This cannot be used on an enemy Valentina.
