Lacerate ends up adding only a little bit more damage to his combo as his current passive, just over time, which complements his q.

With regards to Upper Hand: When are you going to be taking damage from champions while being not visible to the enemy team, except while ulting?

You're misreading Shadow Armor: It's not triggered by dropping below a certain percentage, but rather by taking damage equal to a certain amount of his max health, and it also stealths for longer. I agree that it's not all that good, though.
