Whenever a dagger hits and does not kill an enemy, it leaves a stacking debuff that lasts for 6 seconds. When the debuffed unit dies, they launch one Stifling Dagger per stack at random enemies around the target, prioritizing heroes. These daggers have 50% damage and slow duration values
Stacks can't be dispelled and each new dagger refreshes the duration of all current stacks. Recast range equals Stifling Dagger's cast range centered around the debuffed enemy
