| Lore:
|
|
| Scurrilous rumors of unnatural parentage have haunted this proud, leonine warrior his entire life. He long served in the Beast Horde as a shadowy scout and assassin before taking on a comparable role in the new Legion. Wherever he came from, Night Hound is a welcome ally and a deadly foe.

| Cast Time: 0.7 / 0.3 seconds
|
| Target Unit
|
All Other Units
|
| Type - Physical
|
|
| Taking full advantage of the element of surprise, Night Hound teleports to a target unit. If target unit is an enemy, Night Hound will strike them when he teleports to them, dealing additional damage.
|
Range: 700
Mana Cost: 50
Cooldown: 20/15/10/5 seconds
|
| Teleport self behind the target and attack with 30/60/90/120 bonus damage.
|
| Psst! Right behind you.
|
|
|
|
| Notes
|
- Can be used on an ally to teleport to them without dealing damage.
- Pounce teleports you behind the target before dealing damage, so the bonus damage from Backstab will be applied as well.
- Pounce behaves like an autoatack and will apply modifiers and work with Critical Strike, Lifesteal, Harkon's Blade, and bonus damage from Backstab, and can miss due to Evasion or Miss Chance.
|
| Backstab [ E ]
|
|
|
| Night Hound is a master at exploiting openings in combat. When he attacks a target from behind, he does extra damage equal to a percent of his agility.
|
|
|
| When behind target, adds 30/60/90/120% of his agility as bonus attack damage.
|
| I can't be trusted.
|
|
|
|
| Notes
|
- Backstab damage is applied if Night Hound's attacks are within 105 degrees from the target's back.
- Damage from Backstab is added as Attack Damage. While functionally similar to Base Damage bonuses, it does not account for the 24-28 damage that Night Hound starts with.
|
| Invisibility [ R ]
|
|
|
| Night Hound learns to better conceal himself, making him invisible to the naked eye when not attacking.
|
|
|
| This skill can be upgraded at levels 1, 6 and 11.
