The Chipper is a ranged intelligence hero in Heroes of Newerth.

Info[ | ]

Lore: The elusive chiprel race has spent countless years avoiding conflict, but the Hellbourne are not a threat easily ignored. The Chipper has taken action, piloting an advanced tactical combat and acorn collection machine. Armed with missiles, tar dispensers, and deployable saw blades, The Chipper is ready for war.
 
  The Chipper thrives on constant engagement and spike damage using his Rocket Barrage and Sawblade Showdown. His strength lies in being able to nullify casters with Focus Buffer and dealing massive damage by expending all his spells at once.

Abilities[ | ]

Rocket Barrage
[ Q ]
The Chipper Rocket Barrage
Cast Time: 0 / 0 seconds
Target Position Non-Neutral Enemies
Type - Magic
The Chipper can fire a small rocket in any direction from the dome on the top of his walker. The rocket will mini-stun, deal damage, and cause Tar to light on fire.
Range: 3000
Mana Cost: 40/50/60/70
Deals 90/105/120/135 + 7% of target's Max Health if the rocket travels 2000 units or further as Magic Damage on impact and stuns for .1 seconds. Gains one charge every 3 seconds. Max of 1/2/3/4 charges.

If the target is covered in Tar by Tar Toss, they will catch on fire and burn for 15/20/25/30 Magic Damage per second per rocket for the rest of the slow.

Each rocket gives 400 day and night clearvision while in flight.

Don't aim, just fire!
 
Notes
  • Rockets travel at 1200 speed.
  • Rockets have a touch radius of 75.
  • Vision lingers for 1.5 seconds after hitting a unit.
  • Does not deal Health related bonus damage on Boss units.


Tar Toss
[ W ]
The Chipper Tar Toss
Cast Time: 0 / 0.75 seconds
Target Position Enemy Units
Type - Magic
The Chipper heaves a spoonful of his own special tar solution at the target location. Any enemies hit on impact are slowed and those who take the full force of the hit will find themselves barely able to move.
Range: 700
Radius: 300
Mana Cost: 50/65/80/95
Cooldown: 18/15/12/9 seconds
Applies Tar Covered to anyone hit for 2/3/4/5 seconds. Reduces Attack Speed and Movement Speed based on how close they are to the center upon impact. The closer they are, the more they are slowed.

Maximum is 20/40/60/80% Movement and 10/20/30/40% Attack Speed slow.

Do not run! I am your friend!
 

Tar Covered Effects
10% Movement Slow
.1/.3/.5/.7% Movement Slow per charge
.1/.2/.3/.4% Attack Speed Slow per charge

Notes
  • The Tar lands at the target position after 0.75 seconds.
  • Tar Covered has a maximum of 100 charges, which requires you to hit the unit at their exact center.


Focus Buffer
[ E ]
The Chipper Focus Buffer
Cast Time: 0 / 0 seconds
Target Unit Ally Units
Type - Magic
The Chipper channels the energy of a neutron field into a temporary phase barrier for one of his allies, guarding them against Magic Damage.
Range: 800
Mana Cost: 75
Cooldown: 15 seconds
Applies Focus Buffer to target for 20 seconds.
This is a highly complex operation!
 

Focus Buffer Effects
Absorbs 125/225/325/425 Magic Damage. The Chipper receives mana equal to half the damage absorbed.

Notes
  • Absorbs pre-mitigation damage.
  • Restores up to a net total of -12.5/+50/+112.5/+175 Mana.
  • Bypasses Magic Immunity on ally heroes.
  • Can be used while channeling and neither requires facing direction to be within 180 degrees on the target nor interrupts any action.


Sawblade Showdown (Sawblade Massacre)
[ R ]
The Chipper Sawblade Showdown
Cast Time: 0 / 0.5 seconds
Target Vector Enemy Units
Type - Magic (Superior Magic)
The Chipper is able to communicate with the Chiprels underground, calling upon them to push spinning sawblades out of the ground where he directs them to. Anyone unfortunate enough to be in their sharp path takes significant damage.
Range: 700 (1000)
Radius: 400
Mana Cost: 140/180/220
Cooldown: 65/55/45 seconds
Spawns saws for 8 seconds. Applies Sawblade and Sawblade Crippled to any enemy who walks into the spinning blades. Saws destroy trees, obviously. Grants 200 day and night clearvision along the saws while active.
Control and some element X does the trick.
 

Sawblade Effects
200/300/400 Initial Magic Damage
75/125/175 Magic Damage per second

Sawblade Crippled Effects
90% Movement speed slow initially, which wears off over 4 seconds.

Notes
  • Sawblades have a length of 800 and a touch radius of 100.
  • Staff of the Master slow is Superior Magic.
  • SotM slow persists while in the Sawblades.
