Shadow Sweep

Assassin skill · Shadow line · tier 2

Beta 0.7.2

Slides low along the ground like a shadow and topples anyone in the way.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 8 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Shadow Sweep scales with Dodge. Its value at each rank is 193 + 55 × rank:

Dodge+248+303+358+413+468+523+578+633+688+743

Dodge is a rating rather than a percentage, so this is the rating the skill gives, times the skill power.

Dodge = value × skill power
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Shadow skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it
