Hero Overview
Undying is a strength hero who excels as a support and frontline tank. His ability to steal strength with Decay, sustain with Soul Rip, and control teamfights with Tombstone makes him a formidable presence in the early and mid game. With the "Ceaseless Dirge" innate ability, he can potentially respawn immediately after death, catching enemies off guard.
The hero's strength lies in his lane dominance and teamfight control. Decay allows him to weaken enemies while strengthening himself, making him increasingly dangerous in prolonged engagements. Tombstone serves as his real ultimate, creating chaos and providing vision control. With Flesh Golem, he becomes a massive threat that can amplify damage for his team while being incredibly difficult to kill.

Phase-by-Phase Game Strategy
Early Game (Laning)
In lane, focus on using Decay to steal strength from enemies when they're grouped together. Try to catch multiple heroes with each Decay to maximize its effectiveness. Remember that Decay deals double damage to creeps, making it useful for farming as well. Use Soul Rip to heal yourself or damage enemies based on the number of units around you. Position aggressively to zone enemies away from your carry.
Mid Game (Rotations & Teamfights)
This is where Undying shines. Look for opportunities to gank with your team, using Decay to weaken enemies before engagements. In teamfights, position yourself to maximize Tombstone effectiveness - place it in awkward spots where enemies can't easily destroy it. Remember that Tombstone is your real ultimate, so use it carefully when the fight is committed. Use Soul Rip to heal your Tombstone or sustain your team through prolonged engagements.
Late Game (Positioning & Execution)", "lateGameContent": "In late game, your role becomes more about proper Tombstone placement and Flesh Golem usage. Place your Tombstone in hard-to-reach locations like cliffs or high ground areas. Use Flesh Golem to initiate fights or survive ganks, as the STR bonus provides additional HP. Remember to apply the Plague debuff to high-value targets with your attacks in Flesh Golem form. With the \"Tombstone On Death\" talent, even your death can provide value by spawning a Tombstone to continue the fight.
