Ancient Apparition

Kaldr, the Ancient Apparition, is a ranged intelligence hero that is mostly fit for supporting, considering how squishy he is yet immobile and able to dish lots of spell damage.

Difference to vanilla

• Increased Cold Feet cooldown.
• Decreased Ice Vortex slow and resistance reduction.

Launches a tracer towards any location of the battlefield, which must be triggered again to mark the area to be blasted by a damaging explosion of hail. The further the tracer travels, the larger the explosion will be. Enemies caught in the explosion, or who touched the icy ball of hail as it travels, are frostbitten, taking damage and prevented from regenerating or healing. If a frostbitten unit's health drops below a certain percentage, they will instantly shatter.

• After the Cold Feet changes in vanilla, it changes everything in this game, which makes him way too overpowered. Hence the ban hammer to this hero.
