“The scoundrel is always in a hurry where trouble awaits and is ready to face any threat from the ghostly forest that has become her home. Even with a heavy crossbow, it sneaks through branches and leaves, and is nearly impossible to track in battle. For a moment, you will lose sight of him, and he is already behind you, his stunned and defenseless corpse hanging from his nets. “
Deception skills:
- Acorn shot… The hero shoots an acorn at the targeted enemy, which bounces off nearby creatures, slowing them and dealing bonus damage. It can be applied to a point to create a tree, but then no bounce will occur.
- Bushwhack… The hero launches a trap net that stuns enemy heroes if they approach the target tree. Enemies are drawn to him and lose sight of him for the duration of the stun.
- Sneak… The hero has the opportunity to avoid physical attacks by being near the trees. When activated, this ability accelerates movement and allows you to pass through creatures and trees.
- Sharpshooter… The hero prepares a fatal shot from his crossbow. Deals great damage to the enemy Hero, slows them and imposes attrition. Damage and duration of effect increase with prep time.
Valve previously hinted that Hoodwink would become a Dota 2 character. In particular, she was mentioned in the newspaper that Snapfire reads in the Diretide video.
Previously, Dota 2 fans believed that Freya would become the new hero. In particular, Steam technical support responded to one of the users under that pseudonym; Typically, Valve employees use the names of unannounced characters as nicknames. References to Freya have also been found in the Windranger lore. A reddit user shared how Mistwood and the new character are connected.
