Tips and Tricks
Use Acorn Shot as a powerful dewarding tool on cliffs or other common ward locations.
You can avoid obstacles and move freely through trees while you scurry.
If you’re Hoodwink or her lane mate, go more on Tangoes when choosing regeneration during the laning stage.
Hoodwink ’s Ability
ACORN SHOT
Attacks the target unit with an acorn from Hoodwink. The acorn bounces to adjacent enemies, slowing them and adding additional damage to a portion of Hoodwink’s strike.
If a point is targeted, a tree is built at that location, and the acorn will then bounce to more targets in the area. To enforce this behavior, the ability may be placed on an alt-cast.
BUSHWHACK
Tosses a net trap that, if it detects an enemy approaching a nearby tree, stuns them. In addition to being drawn toward the tree closest to them in the target area and taking damage over time, foes affected by this stun also have their vision reduced to zero for the duration of the effect.
SCURRY
When near trees, Hoodwink has a passive chance to avoid physical strikes. Hoodwink gains additional movement speed, attack and cast range, phased movement, and temporary tree-walking when engaged.
DECOY
Hoodwink starts firing a Sharpshooter with reduced damage towards the closest enemy hero while going invisible, speeding up her pace. The illusion is dissolved and sends a weaker bushwhack in the direction of the foe if it is attacked or struck by a targeted ability.
