Combat Trait
1
[D] Jump Jets
Passive, 15 second CD

Primary Abilities
1
[Q] Deuterium Demo-Charges
Active, 2 Charges, 7 second CD
Toss a D8 Demolition Charge at the targeted location in a medium radius, when the demolition charge lands it’ll stay there for 1.5 seconds before exploding in a small to medium aoe around it dealing 289 (+4% per level) damage, demolition charges cannot be throw near another one already on the ground and incur a 0.5 mini cooldown between charge uses, it can land on enemy minions, mercs and heroes who can carry it around with them causing the same damage to itself and those around it.
(similar concept to Hanzos reveal arrow)
2
[W] Nitro Boost
Active, 13 second CD
After charging his Jump Jets for 0.25 seconds Crooked Sam will gain 20% increased movement speed for 3.5 seconds and cleanse himself of any slows while making him immune to them for 1 second afterwards, passively causes movement slowing effects to be reduced by 25%.
3
[E] G-4 Cluster Bombs
Active, 10 second CD
Activating Cluster Bombs replaces Crooked Sams basic attacks with throwing up to 4 Cluster Bombs or until 3 seconds has passed, Cluster Bombs cause his basic attacks (both pistols damage combined) to aoe around closely around the target, Structures take 40% more damage while the aoe burst deals 25% more damage to those around the target.
Heroic Abilities
1
[R1] KD8 Charges
Active, 60 second CD
Target a skillshot line for Crooked Sam to arm and throw a KD8 Charge while yelling ‘fire in the hole!’ as it travels down the line quickly until it either reaches the end without touching anything as Crooked Sam says ‘It was a bloody dud?!’ or when it impacts an enemy hero it’ll explode for 397 (+4% per level) damage and knocks them back further while stunning them for 1.25 seconds if the knockback launches them into a wall, structure or the terrain.
2
[R2] Backburner
Active, 70 second CD
Upon activation Crooked Sam will set his Jet Pack into overdrive causing him to lift more as flames burst from his boosters due to the amount of heat generated as he deals 154 (+4% per level) damage per second for 4.5-5 seconds in a medium to large aoe radius with damage being increased up to 50% more depending on how close enemies are to him, after Backburner ends his Jump Jets won’t work for 10 seconds and the passive movement speed is removed for that time.

Skins:

- Special Forces: The SC2 version of the skin (though nexus version can work too) where he resembles a skin of the same name with better jetpacks and pistol arms, minor lore quote can be the version of him that isn
