It is likely because "A unit Starts the effect of an ability" runs twice for metamorphosis: once for when you morph, and then once when you unmorph. So when he unmorphs, it will run the "Demonorphosis" logic again (it'll store his real name as "Albedo" since "DemonorphosisRun" hasn't run to revert his name yet). And that later causes issues when "DemonorphosisRun" fires, as it will first change his name back to his real name, and then to "Albedo" (since it got triggered when he "unmorphed").

I recommend doing two things:

1. Use the "Finishes casting ability" event so that you can change the name once the morph is finished
2. Add a condition to check that the unit-type of the triggering unit is the morphed form to make sure this only runs when you morph (not on the "unmorph")

• Demonorphosis
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Demon Hunter (Demon Form)
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Demonorphosis
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet DemonoInt[0] = (DemonoInt[0] + 1)
    • Set VariableSet DemonoUser[DemonoInt[0]] = (Triggering unit)
    • Set VariableSet DemonoRealName[DemonoInt[0]] = (Proper name of DemonoUser[DemonoInt[0]])
    • Hero - Set Name of DemonoUser[DemonoInt[0]] to Albedo
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • DemonoInt[0] Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on DemonorphosisRun <gen>
      • Else - Actions

Then it should work as you expect!

Thanks to replies and it worked as expected!!
