Skills
Ninjutsu: Shadow Heal – After dealing ability damage on the same target for 4 times, Hayabusa’s Hp will restore. The lower his Hp is, the more it will restore. (passive)
Phantom Shuriken – Throws out three shurikens in a fan-shaped area in front of him. Each shuriken deals 270 physical damage to the enemy it hits and lowers movement speed by 50%. The same enemy can take up to 200% damage. If 3 shurikens all hit the same hero, then Hayabusa will regen 50% of his spent mana.
Quad Shadow – Releases four phantoms of himself in 4 directions. When a phantom encounters an enemy hero, it will cause a 50% slow down effect, deal 130 physical damage, and burrow itself into the enemy’s body. The next use of this ability will move Hayabusa to the phantom’s location, and if directed towards a phantom inside of an enemy, it will deal an additional 130 physical damage to the enemy.
Ougi: Shadow Kill – Turns into a shadow and dashes around the battlefield, dealing multiple hits of damage to enemies within a certain area. Each attack deals 160 physical damage. Damage will increase 5% per hit for multiple hits in a row on the same hero. One of the best skill in game that Hayabusa has. Most players are picking this hero because of his ultimate.
