Atrophy Aura reduces BASE attack damage and PL being an Illusion hero greatly benefits from stacking Agility and increasing his Base damage and Attack Speed to empowers his Illusions. Agility stacking means high armor so both Firestorm and Pit of Malice are great at providing reliable Magic damage and Crowd Control for him and his Illusions due to their AOE properties.
