Additional Insights

Armor reduction does not stack with its components, Desolator, or Stygian Desolator.

What's even more amazing is that this orb's effect sticks around for a few moments, keeping your enemies feeling the burn even after the initial hit. It's like leaving a lingering sting that makes them think twice about messing with your hero!

Heroes with Orb of Corrosion as Core Item

A core item in the laning stage to slow down enemy heroes and do more damage with your right clicks by reducing the armor of your target. Also works well against tanky heroes by reducing their health restoration. The {agility} gain also provides armor and increases the damage you do with the Backstab right clicks.

A core early game item that increases the damage of your Sleight of Fist that allows you to boot out most heroes out of lane. The slow allows you to stay on top of your targets and chase them down while the healing reduction scales throughout the game.

An upgrade for {orb-of-frost} to dominate the lane with more damage with minus armor through right clicks and stay on top of enemy heroes. Gives you a better chance to activate Jingu Mastery and deal massive damage with Boundless Strike.

Trivia

It's description in Dota 'Seepage from the wounds of a warrior deity, sealed in an arcanist's orb following a campaign of vicious slaughter' is probably referring to a hero that isn't yet released, Yey! More Heroes!
