Silhouette is a ranged agility hero in Heroes of Newerth.

Info[ | ]

Lore: An orphaned child, Silhouette trained in the Hidden Village of the Scout, working hard towards her goal to become the greatest assassin in Newerth. Unlike her fellow scouts, she was loud, boisterous, and most of all, simply not stealthy. Yet what she lacked in subtlety was made up for with heart, attitude, and the ability to conjure a perfect mirror image of herself. Believe it!
 
  Silhouette is a skill-shot based carry that is highly dependent on player finesse and control. Nevertheless, she is especially deadly to enemy melee and support, who she can pick off quickly with the burst damage from Relentless Salvo. Her hallmark ability Shadow allows her to create a nearly indistinguishable image of herself.

Abilities[ | ]

Death Lotus
[ Q ]
Silhouette Death Lotus
Cast Time: 0 / 0.5 seconds

Passively creates 1/2/3/4 blades that orbit around Silhouette, that deal 45 Magic Damage to enemy units they pass through. Activate to shoot the blades outward, dealing 75/150/225/300 Magic Damage to enemies they pass through.
Every rose has its thorns. Some Lotuses have them too.
 
Notes

  • A blade must complete a full revolution before a unit can take touch damage from the same blade again.


Tree Grapple
[ W ]
Silhouette Tree Grapple
Cast Time: 0.15 / 0.35 seconds
Target Position Trees
Silhouette's trusty grappling hook allows her to perform jaw-dropping combat feats, zipping from tree to tree and knocking enemies into stupor with tree trunks.
Range: 1000/1150/1300/1450
Mana Cost: 120/105/90/75
Cooldown: 16/13/10/7 seconds
Target a location to hook and create a chain to the first tree encountered. The chain lasts for 6 seconds or if it stretches to 1800 units.

While Silhouette is chained to a tree, she gains 100 Movement Speed and Tree Grapple is replaced by two sub-abilities, Sky Dance and Log Bolas.

Sky Dance and Log Bolas deal 80/130/180/230 Magic damage and a 1 second Stun.

I'm very good at hooking.

  • Grants 400 vision around the tree that Silhouette hooked.


Sky Dance
[ W ]
Silhouette Sky Dance
Cast Time: 0 / 0 seconds
No Target
Silhouette's favorite dance is that in which she gets to dance on the heads of enemies she flies over.

Watch out for that.. TREE!

  • Destroys trees around Silhouette.
  • Silhouette is not Disarmed during Sky Dance.


Log Bolas

Cast Time: 0 / 0 seconds
No Target
Silhouette completely uproots the tree, using the attached tree trunk as a weapon by pulling it to herself.
Mana Cost: 25/50/75/100
Activate to destroy the tree Silhouette is chained to and pull it to her. The tree deals 80/120/160/200 Magic Damage and a 1 second Stun to enemy units it passes through.
Get over here!
 
Notes
  • Does not affect NPC units (Neutrals and lane creeps).

Relentless Salvo
[ E ]
Silhouette Relentless Salvo
Passive
Silhouette's attacks pepper the target, adding power with each consecutive attack. She will also take opportunities to throw out a burst of attacks after performing one of her abilities.
Cooldown: 4/3/2/1 seconds
Passively causes attacks to apply Relentless Salvo on the target, which lasts 10 seconds and stacks up to 15 times. Attacks deal 4/8/12/16 bonus Physical Damage for each stack of Relentless Salvo on the target.

After activating a skill, Silhouette gains 400 Attack Speed for 2 attacks or 4 seconds if the skill is off cooldown.

Does not propagate to illusions.

Boom boom pow!
 
Notes
  • Damage from Relentless Salvo is not affected by Critical Strike or Lifesteal.
  • Illusions can apply Relentless Salvo charges, but do not deal bonus damage.
  • Damage dealt from Relentless Salvo maxes out at 60/120/180/240 Physical Damage.


Shadow
[ R ]
Silhouette Shadow
Cast Time: 0.25 / 0.55 seconds
No Target
Silhouette creates an illusion of herself that exactly replicates her. She may swap places with her illusion to even further throw her enemies off!
Mana Cost: 150/100/50
Cooldown: 80 seconds
Activate to disjoint, dispel all states on self, and create a Shadow. The Shadow is an illusion that lasts for 20/30/40 seconds and takes 200/150/100% of normal damage and deals 100% of normal damage.

Creates a sub-ability which allows Silhouette to swap locations with the Shadow.

This is my Shadow. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
 
Notes
  • Silhouette's Shadow will copy Death Lotus, but its Death Lotus does not deal damage.
  • If Silhouette gains the Relentless Salvo Attack Speed buff, the Shadow will also receive the buff.
