Ability 4

Increases attack speed and splits attack to hit 1/2/3 additional enemy heroes for 5/6/7 seconds.

Mana 100/125/150
Cooldown 60/45/30
Cast range self

+50/75/100 attack speed
Lasts 5/6/7 seconds

Splits attack to hit 1/2/3 extra visible enemy heroes
Split attacks do 60% damage
Primary target takes full damage
Split range is 750 (further than normal attack range)
When Ability 3 is at 1 charge, all split attacks will apply the fire.

Split attacks work the same as Forsaken Archer when it comes to chance to miss and item attack modifiers:

• Lightning, Criticals, and Life Steal only apply to primary target
• Frost, Shieldbreaker, Harkons, Nullfire apply to every target
• Savage Mace and Brutalizer will never apply on split attacks (still works on primary target)
• Each attack has an independent check for evasion and uphill miss

His ultimate is a state and cannot be purged off or transferred to Parasite.

[man_guy]

Very thorough. TY. Ability 3's ground AOE doesn't stack dmg or slow then?

[pianoboii]

His ultimate is much shorter than I thought it would be...

[[S2]MacroHard]

The affectors from Ability 2 and Ability 3 do not stack with themselves, but do stack with each other.

[[RCT]IsmaelVera]

I had a question: the spotlight mentioned that unlike :fors:, Draconis' ult actually procs Riftshards on individual targets. True or no?

[[S2]MacroHard]

I had a question: the spotlight mentioned that unlike :fors:, Draconis' ult actually procs Riftshards on individual targets. True or no?

As far as I can tell there are really no major differences in the script between FA and Draconis for the split attack effect. I'll look into it and try to get back with this later tonight.

edit:

Draconis:

<onattack>
	<split count="1,2,3" range="750" damagemult="0.6" targetscheme="visible_enemy_heroes" fulldamageonmaintarget="true" />
	<playeffect effect="/heroes/flamedragon/alt/ability_04/effects/cast.effect" source="source_entity" target=""/>
</onattack>

FA:

<onattack>
	<split count="2" range="600" damagemult="0.14,0.21,0.28,0.35" targetscheme="visible_enemy_units" fulldamageonmaintarget="true" />
	<playeffect effect="effects/trail.effect" source="source_entity" />
</onattack>

Looks like copy-paste to me. Draconis and FA spits should work identically.

Coming from the video it states that it propagates riftshards. Link to the time it says it. Im looks like it doesnt via the code, but that is where he got his question from

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3IJX...ailpage#t=215s

[HonchoBob]

Think starting armor is 2.2, not -1.

Ulti splits to 750 range, that's a nice little bonus.

[[S2]MacroHard]

Think starting armor is 2.2, not -1.

Ulti splits to 750 range, that's a nice little bonus.

His base armor is -1. Since he starts with 23 agility, and you get .14 armor per agility, the result is 2.22

[[ViPs]Orgamsmatron]

those explanations of effects, how they work with items and other stuff were nice, every hero should have this on the site

[[S2]MacroHard]

those explanations of effects, how they work with items and other stuff were nice, every hero should have this on the site

Thanks. As there are 99 heroes, creating something like that will take some time. I'll try to post something like this for every new hero from here on out though.

[[miLv]zOle`]

Very thorough tnx

[Drasha]

g0darles i wouldn't put to much faith into any mechanical statements made in s2 videos they tend to have numerous errors and some times minor things get changed between when the video is made and when the hero is released further complicating things.

tested it in game it only procs for the main attack and the secondary attacks are not effected by the crit at all.

[[HoRe]Kunkka]

One thing that screwed with me ingame was getting hexed while having an activated ultimate. When hexed, the hex animation is obstructed by the still shown ultimate projection.

It's kind of unclear as to "wtf is going on"; is there any way to suppress the ultimate effect when you are hexed?

(namely sheepsticked, example Match 80181832 50+ minutes in the game @ the teamfight at top t2 tower)

[[RCT]BattleHungeR]

very nice, and great work there.

[Lethe]

don't take anything the S2 spotlights highlight srsly. There have been changes on more than one occasion.

however I am pretty sure savage mace has the same properties as crit (i.e. only proc on primary target) until proven otherwise. This applies to FA's split shot as well by extension.

[the_zhiff]

Very useful, thanks.

[Theburned]

"Savage Mace and Brutalizer proc independently for each target, but if it procs on ANY it will start cooldown on Brutalizer"

this isn't the case for FA, unless it has been fixed lately.

there it means 1 proc = procs on all targets.

[[COE]simena]

How much max damage can you make with Blazing Flight?

Ideal circumstances.

[[AOWL]SmurfinBird]

"Savage Mace and Brutalizer proc independently for each target, but if it procs on ANY it will start cooldown on Brutalizer"

this isn't the case for FA, unless it has been fixed lately.

there it means 1 proc = procs on all targets.

If one of the attacks has brutalizer proc, it will go on cooldown, and all split off attacks will stun the same as normal.
This happens with FA - one stun proc means all targets hit by the attacks are stunned on that instance, you can only have all targets stunned or none, not some and not others.

(I'm a little ill, might of worded that weird.)
