Combat Trait

1
D - Viciousness
Your attack speed is increased by 50% if you're below 50% health and by 100% if you're below 25% health.

Your trait can be activated if you're below 50% health to enter your Worgen Form. During Worgen Form, you dash to your basic attack targets and heal yourself for 100% of your physical damage done. During Worgen Form, you don't lose the attack speed bonus of Viciousness by going over the health threshold. Worgen Form lasts 15 seconds and has a 150 second cooldown.

Primary Abilities

1
Q - Run Through
Dash towards a target direction then thrust your blade in target direction, dealing medium damage to the first enemy hit. Hitting an enemy with Run Through reduces its cooldown by 2 seconds.

4 sec cooldown. Low mana cost. The dash and thrust are around the same range as Li-Ming's teleport.
2
W - Sense Blood
Heighten your senses, gaining vision of all units in a large radius around you for 5 seconds. You also gain 10% movement speed for each enemy hero revealed this way. Whenever an enemy minion dies near you, the cooldown of this ability is reduced by 3 seconds.

120 sec cooldown. High mana cost. Self-cast.
3
E - Pistol Shot
Draw a concealed pistol and shoot target enemy, dealing medium damage. Killing an enemy with Pistol Shot refunds the cost and half the cooldown of Pistol Shot and grants you a stack of Gold. Gold can be spent on I Know a Guy or quests.

6 sec cooldown. Medium mana cost. Around the same range as Valla's basic attack.

Step into the shadows and begin stalking target enemy hero. After 3 seconds, deal 85% of their maximum health as damage, and deal 20% of the damage done to yourself.

2
R2 - Greed
Awaken an ancient curse, causing your abilities to cost no mana, have a 0.5 sec cooldown, and gain a bonus effect for 8 seconds. However, each ability use reduces your Armor by 2 and lowers your movement speed by 1% for the duration of the curse, stacking indefinitely.
