Skitskurr the Weaver is a ranged agility hero, who isn't capable of being in the center of a battle, but can really annoy and harass his enemies in the lane. His abilities allow him to evade damage that would be dealt or was already dealt to him. Weaver is a carry who can surprise wounded foes running away from the battle, hunt them down and disappear, avoiding the focus of the enemy team.

Bio

Skitskurr, the Weaver  "Few know their place in the cosmic weave. Fewer still can lay their claws upon the Loom and influence the pattern." Role: Carry / Escape Lore: The fabric of creation needs constant care, lest it grow tattered; for when it unravels, whole worlds come undone. It is the work of the Weavers to keep the fabric tight, to repair worn spots in the mesh of reality. They also defend from the things that gnaw and lay their eggs in frayed regions, whose young can quickly devour an entire universe if the Weavers let their attention lapse. Skitskurr was a master Weaver, charged with keeping one small patch of creation tightly woven and unfaded. But the job was not enough to satisfy. It nagged him that the original work of creation all lay in the past; the Loom had done its work and travelled on. He wanted to create rather than merely maintain—to weave worlds of his own devising. He began making small changes to his domain, but the thrill of creation proved addictive, and his strokes became bolder, pulling against the pattern that the Loom had woven. The guardians came, with their scissors, and Weaver's world was pared off, snipped from the cosmic tapestry, which they rewove without him in it. Skitskurr found himself alone, apart from his kind, a state that would have been torment for any other Weaver. But Skitskurr rejoiced, for now he was free. Free to create for himself, to begin anew. The raw materials he needed to weave a new reality were all around him. All he had to do was tear apart this old world at the seams.

The Swarm
Duration 8/12/16/20 Hit Points 100 Damage 15/20/25/30 Armor 0 Movement Speed 600 Sight Range 321/321 Base Attack Time 1.35 Bounty 32-34 Experience 20

The Swarm Ability Affects Damage Target Point Enemies Physical Weaver launches a swarm of 12 beetles that latch on any enemy unit in their path, attacking and reducing armor until it is killed. Range: 3000 Beetle Duration: 8/12/16/20 Attack Damage: 15/20/25/30 Armor Reduced Per Attack: 1 36/33/30/27 100 Skitskurr opens a gap in the space time fabric, allowing young Weavers to slip through and aid him in combat. Notes: When a beetle latches on a target, it will remain there until it is killed or the duration expires. Beetles are magic immune, but can be destroyed by 4 attacks from a hero or a tower, or 8 from other units. Beetles attack at 1.35 second intervals. Beetles provide 321/321 sight, but will drop off their target if it becomes invisible.

Shukuchi Ability Affects Damage No Target Enemies Magical Weaver shifts out of visibility, gaining the ability to move at maximum speed through physical units—doing harm to any enemies it passes through. Radius: 175 Fade Time: 0.25 Duration: 4 Damage: 90/110/130/150 12/10/8/6 60 As the Weavers worked in the fabric of creation, small wormholes allowed them to slip through time to better work their craft. Notes: Can only damage the same unit once per cast. Does no damage to invisible units.

Geminate Attack Ability Affects Passive Enemy units and structures Allows Weaver to dispatch two swarms, attacking an enemy twice. The extra attack will not trigger other attack effects (such as critical strike) and overrides Unique Attack Modifiers. 6/5/4/2.5 Skitskurr's relationship with time is somewhat variable, causing his actions to be witnessed — and felt — more than once. Notes: Second attack will proc even if first attack is done when Geminate Attack is on cooldown. Geminate attack only checks cooldown when second attack is activated.

Time Lapse Ability Affects No Target Self Weaver warps backward to whatever position it was in five seconds earlier—regaining the HP and mana from that time. No effect on cooldown, gold or experience. 60/50/40 150/75/0 If Skitskurr does not deem the current reality of the world to fit his desires, he simply crawls back in time to right what was wronged. Notes: Purges negative buffs from Weaver (some things cannot be removed, e.g. Rupture).

Starting Early-game Core Situational

Explanation:

• Weaver has excellent survivability with Shukuchi and Time Lapse. This means Weaver can safely spend gold on DPS items relatively early in the game. Geminate Attack makes raw damage items very effective on Weaver. (The extra attack does not trigger attack effects, so the benefit of items that provide those effects is not multiplied by Geminate Attack.) Radiance and Monkey King Bar are common choices because they give so much bonus damage. Also, Radiance's Burn Damage complements Shukuchi in two ways: to effectively chase down fleeing heroes with Shukuchi's bonus movement speed, and to deal damage from the safety of Shukuchi's invisibility.
• Weaver is vulnerable if disabled, or if enemies have True Sight of him. Linken's Sphere can help to block disables, such as any source of Hex, as well as abilities that give True Sight, such as Slardar's Amplify Damage and Bounty Hunter's Track. Manta style, though unmentioned, provides a reliable means of removing silence, dust, or other status debuffs.
