Samuro

Blademaster

The Blademaster. A highly requested hero and one seemingly confirmed due to the massively accurate leaks. So, I figured I'd take my shot at it.

Samuro is a fast-paced Melee Assassin that can turn invisible for short periods of time, duplicate himself, and crit his opponents, inflicting extra damage.

Rough Level 1 Stats

Health - ~1700
Attack Damage - ~65
Attack Speed - ~2.0

Combat Trait

1
[D] - Critical Strike
Passive
Every 5th basic attack strikes for 200% damage. This damage is displayed in a red number for all players above the target's head.

Primary Abilities

1
[Q] - Burning Strike
Active; Blazing Strike
Strike target enemy hero within melee range, dealing ~120 damage, and an additional ~40 over 3 seconds. This counts as a basic attack for the purposes of Critical Strike, but it only doubles the initial damage. Costs ~30 mana and has a ~6 second cooldown.
2
[W] - Mirror Image
Active; Duplicate
Summon a duplicate of yourself on one side whilst moving to the other side(Think Mirror Image from Warcraft III). This duplicate has your current health, deals 0% of your damage, and takes 200% damage. It lasts for ~6 seconds. Costs ~80 mana and has a ~16 second cooldown.
3
[E] - Wind Walk
Active; Vanish
Activate to enter stealth for up to ~8 seconds, during which time you move ~20% faster. The first strike made after casting this ability is a guaranteed Critical Strike. Costs ~60 mana and has a ~12 second cooldown.

Heroic Abilities

1
[R] - Bladestorm
Active; BLAAAADESTOOOOOOORM
Begin whirling around in a tornado of blades, dealing ~120 damage per second to nearby enemy heroes. You move at ~80% movement speed and are unstoppable while using this ability, but cannot cast other abilities. Lasts ~5 seconds. Costs ~120 mana and has a ~80 second cooldown.
2
[R] - Devastating Parry
Active; Reversal
Channel for 1 second, before rooting yourself in place and preventing yourself from casting abilities for up to 3 seconds. The next enemy attack to hit you within this time causes you to ignore that damage and dash to that target, striking them for ~800 damage and making them vulnerable for ~3 seconds. If this ability does not trigger, its cooldown is 50% shorter. Costs ~120 mana and has a ~100 second cooldown.

Samuro needs to be a mobile hero, he needs a short cooldown dash, and a combo with his Q.
