I usually use this to cancel tp's and other channeling spells. Sometimes I also spam this to increase damage output usually after BS.

Passively adds a critical strike and maim to Bounty Hunter's next attack, has a cooldown.

Level 1 - 1.5x critical multiplier, 25% movement and attack speed slow.
Level 2 - 1.75x critical multiplier, 25% movement and attack speed slow.
Level 3 - 2x critical multiplier, 25% movement and attack speed slow.

Cooldown: 15/12/9/6 seconds

You usually reach a lot of damage at level 5(time-wise) where most spell is lesser after reductions since almost all heroes armor are still low. Pair this with WW it will surprise the enemy and they'll try to run as an initial reaction use that as an advantage.

Turns invisible for a period of time. Deals bonus backstab damage. Transition time decreases per level.

Level 1 - 30 Backstab damage.
Level 2 - 60 Backstab damage.
Level 3 - 90 Backstab damage.
Level 4 - 120 Backstab damage.

Author's Comment:

This spell is so easily countered. Icefrog must have hated invis thats why he created a lot of ways to counter it. I use this to initiate kills before lvl 6. I also WW while chasing so the opponent can't think of backfire in case if he doesn't have invi counters. I also use this to dodge spell or last hit attack especially if the opponent' attack have a very slow missile speed.

Tracks an enemy hero for 30 seconds or until it dies. Allied units near the tracked target gain 20% movement speed increase. If the target dies, Bounty Hunter gets bonus gold.

Level 1 - 75 extra gold, reduces target's armor by 1.
Level 2 - 150 extra gold, reduces target's armor by 3.
Level 3 - 225 extra gold, reduces target's armor by 5.

Mana Cost: 70/60/50
Cooldown: 10/7/5 seconds.
Casting Range: 900/1050/1200
Area of Effect: 800 (aura)/925 (bonus gold aoe)
Duration: 30 seconds.

Notes
• Bounty Hunter will get the bonus gold if the target dies while the spell is still active, regardless of how it dies.
• Gives True Sight of the target.
• Tracked targets have a visual effect above their heads that is only visible to Bounty Hunter's allies.
• Grants 50 bonus gold to all allies (except bounty hunter himself) being affected by the track aura when the target dies
• Bonus gold will be added as reliable gold.

This is your toasted bread and farming skill. I use this at the start of the battle, chasing and when someone is dying. With its cooldown at level 3, it is spammable. Take note that it also give gold not only to your self but also to your team mates. Don't ever last hit heroes cause this spell will take care of the gold you want from that kill.

Justification:

get 1 lvl of wind walk for escape then 1 level of shuriken toss to cacel tp or channeling spells. you max jinada first for the damage without using mana. then you max toss for more damage or wind walk if you need to scout that much but 2-3 levels of wind walk will suffice.

Justification:

Get 1 level of wind walk for escape then 1 level of jinada for the slow. you max shuriken toss first for more burst damage but most of the time you'll be mana dependent. next thing you'll level is either jinada for more damage or wind walk for scouting but most of the time you'll find jinada more helpful.

Skill Build 1
(30*.8929)damage lvl1 WW + (200*.8929) damage jinada + (100*.75) damage toss = 26.787 + 178.58 + 75 = 280.367damage 140 mana 6 sec cooldown

In speaking of lane harassment this should stand-out since this requires not that high mana and low cooldown although you'll have lower damage

Skill Build 2
(30*.8929)damage lvl1 WW + (300*.75) damage toss + (126*.8929) jinada = 26.787 + 225 + 112.5054 = 364.2924 damage 205 mana 10 sec cooldown

This build is more of burst damge which is trend now but requires a lot of mana and has longer cooldown

- Get this if your team needs the aura this doesn't only help melee heroes but also range ones since it has a damage, armor and mana aura. This also helps in pushing.

- This is an anti dps carry so this is coolnot really. it slows attack speed and movement speed. this also increases you survivability and your dps.

- Get this because of the aura to buff you and your team mates especially the carry.

- Hex is a priceless disable but the mana and mana regen is overkill.

- Your a support, why not plus it increases your and your team's survivability. This also helps in pushing since you make your creeps harder to kill.

- This item is also an anti-carry since it makes the enemy's carry softer. This also tears those supports ass hard.

- This is a triple synergy with your skills. you have a slow which means more hit for your summons. the true sight that the summons give will help you track invi heroes, in case they go further than the range of your summon at least you have tracked them already. the bonus ms that your ult give helps your summon catch fleeing heroes.

- You might say,"WTF he got track!". this is good for scouting. He might encounter other scouting heroes who is invisible.

- This is a cheap and better investment as an escape mechanism when wind walk fails so hard.

- Since you get OoV you can get this item if you're really rich and the game flows real smooth.

- If you're really screwed by those nukers go ahead.

- Get this if enemy got a lot of AoE nukers else get BKB instead.

- If you want to be a - for teh lulz. srsly, you can get this if wind walk is countered so hard that you'll end up dying every clash but force staff is a better choice IMO.

- Although you need to level up fast to get your ult at level 3. This item is only effective when you get it below min 15. This will only contradict to the rule of the support to last hit only to deny which means you can't farm that fast.

- You should not be farming.

- Although you already have the hp you still cant handle the degen so no.

- Its like getting this on riki

- Even if your supah cool, lothars could make you cooler that this.

OTHER ITEMS ARE SITUATIONAL!

You could lane with your carry and babysit him. Don't ever get the creeps from your carry unless it is needed (i.e. he is trapped by creeps). You can also do creep pulling to gain exp and gold when the creeps are being too pushed.

When doing an attack:

1. Use Wind walk.
2. Let the lane mate hit the target.
3. You hit the target until it drops.
4. Use toss when the enemy channels a spell or tp'ing.
5. Don't last hit the hero, let your carry do it.
6. Rinse and repeat.

You should be joining ganks and clashes. 80% gank, 18% check pocket, ward, scout and 1% idle . Don't last hit heroes now you can last hit a little bit of creeps when the carry is not around maybe.

When doing ganks:

1. Check pockets.
2. Wind Walk behind the enemy hero, make sure its safe.
3. Let the initiator initiate.
4. Track by priority. (estated here)
5. Use toss to cancel stuff.
6. Don't last hit unless you're gonna finish an item. Don't worry, your track's gonna give you the gold you need.
7. Die for your carry. You should sacrifice yourself as long as you are sure that he could escape because of that sacrifice else let him die.

When pushing:

1. While you team mates are busy taking down towers, you should be scouting the place and place some wards.
2. If you spot an enemy immediately track and go wind walk, pop out when the whole team is around or you have sufficient team member.

This is where most clashes happens.

When clashing:

1. Spam track.
2. Kill supports. You should aim them. They are squishy, if not go assist in killing the enemy's carry or whoever your team's target is.
3. Spam every spell you have to increase dps.
4. Just do what you have to do.

~Any dps carry.
~Minus armor team.
~Any hero who benefits from -armor, extra ms, slow for the enemy, and a gank initiator.

~especial mention:


I really like to lane with her because of the silent and the slow. The enemy that we are chasing is like crawling yet he can't shout for help. Its a merciless kill.


Good synergy. He benefits from the movespeed granted by track and the slow from jinada.


Good synergy. He benefits from the ms that the track grants, he's like an african runner except he's white. Also the slow from jinada makes his job easier but it doesn't have synergy with his ulti but at least you get force staff.


The stun and terrorwave has a good synergy its awesome to go roam with her

~Tanky opponents.
~Spell casters.
~Anti invis
~Silence since he should be using his skills to be effective.

especial mention:

- Do i have to state it here? he's a global counter. He's not gonna prioritize you anyway but just be aware.

- His ulti owns you but you can use that to bait yourself for his death.

- He is "the counter". You should be the one who's gonna bring him down before he fucks up your team.
