Gondar, the Bounty Hunter, is a melee agility hero that excels at hunting, chasing down and killing single targets. His skill set allows him to roam and gank very effectively, as his Shadow Walk allows him to sneak up to unsuspecting targets to initiate. Shadow Walk is also an effective escape and mobility spell, as he can run from dangerous situations and roam invisibly around the map to keep the enemy guessing even if they have Observer Wards active. His ability to deal medium amounts of damage with Jinada, interrupt their Town Portal Scrolls with Shuriken Toss, and keep perfect tabs on their location and movements with Track all make him a powerful and ruthless ganker who is all but impossible to escape once he has his sights locked in. Bounty Hunter's ability to roam, scout and get important kills for his team while bolstering their gold gain with Track can secure his team a strong gold advantage, and give his foes no safe place to hide.

Bio

Gondar, the Bounty Hunter

▶️ "No job is too big; no fee is too big."

Lore:

When the hunted tell tales of Gondar the Bounty Hunter, none are sure of which are true. In whispered tones they say he was abandoned as a kid, learning his skill in tracking as a matter of simple survival. Others hear he was an orphan of war, taken in by the great Soruq the Hunter to learn the master's skill with a blade as they plumbed the dark forests for big game. Still others believe he was a lowly street urchin raised among a guild of cutpurses and thieves, trained in the arts of stealth and misdirection. Around campfires in the wild countryside his quarry speaks the rumors of Gondar's work, growing ever more fearful: they say it was he who tracked down the tyrant King Goff years after the mad regent went into hiding, delivering his head and scepter as proof. That it was he who infiltrated the rebel camps at Highseat, finally bringing the legendary thief White Cape to be judged for his crimes. And that it was he who ended the career of Soruq the Hunter, condemned as a criminal for killing the Prince's prized hellkite. The tales of Gondar's incredible skill stretch on, with each daring feat more unbelievable than the last, each target more elusive. For the right price, the hunted know, anyone can be found. For the right price, even the mightiest may find fear in the shadows.

Strong

Ability Draft Notes:

Jinada has to be drafted as well for it to get applied.

While the shuriken may be small, Gondar's precise aim can cause critical damage.

• The shuriken travels at a speed of 1000.

• The shuriken first applies the damage, the debuff and then the Jinada debuff.

• The initial target does not have to be Tracked for the shuriken to bounce.
  • Can only bounce to each tracked unit once.
  • Cannot bounce to, but can bounce off of invulnerable or hidden units.

• This is how much damage Shuriken Toss deals to Tracked targets on each level:
  • Level 1: 112/168/224/280 ( 154/210/266/322) damage.
  • Level 2: 136/204/272/340 ( 187/255/323/391) damage.
  • Level 3: 160/240/320/400 ( 220/300/380/460) damage.

• The damage increasing talent immediately upgrades all of Bounty Hunter's currently flying shurikens.

• With Aghanim's Scepter, Shuriken Toss applies the current level of Jinada on its target upon projectile impact.
  • Jinada notes fully apply. If it is not leveled, it is not applied.
  • Does not use instant attacks to apply the Jinada. The effects are applied by Shuriken Toss itself.
  • Shuriken Toss' Jinada is independent from the Jinada applied by attacks, regardless of cooldown, and working even when dead.
  • The Jinada damage is applied as spell damage in a separate damage instance, it is affected by spell damage amplification and works with spell lifesteal.

modifier_bounty_hunter_jinada

Undispellable

Gondar's vast experience ensures he never walks away from a transaction empty-handed.

• Upon leveling Jinada the first time, it has Autocast on by default.

• Despite being an active ability, Jinada can trigger while silenced, if set to Autocast.

• When off cooldown, Bounty Hunter's weapons emit particle effects.

• Checks its cooldown on attack begin, not on attack hit.
  • This means Jinada does not apply when its cooldown finishes during the attack animation.

• The bonus damage is granted as an attack damage bonus whenever the ability goes off cooldown, and is removed when going on cooldown.

• Only steals unreliable gold, removing it from the target and adding it to his own unreliable gold.
  • Steals gold only when attacking enemy heroes (and clones), excluding illusions.
  • Bounty Hunter gains exactly how much the target loses.

• When attacking any other unit (including buildings and wards), only the damage is applied, triggering the cooldown.
  • Does not work against allies.

Shadow Walk

• The invisibility is broken upon reaching the cast point of abilities or items, or upon landing an attack. Missed attacks do not break it.
  • Casting Track does not break the invisibility of Shadow Walk.
  • Bounty Hunter can pick up, drop or attack items without breaking the invisibility.

• Grants phased movement while fully invisible.

• With Aghanim's Shard, applies generic incoming damage reduction on Bounty Hunter. Stacks additively with other sources of incoming damage manipulation.

Using his elevated senses of sight and smell, Gondar's hits have quite a good chance of success.

Gameplay

Fear is the mother of rumor, and tales of Gondar's origins are nothing but hearsay. He Shadow Walks into the best guarded keeps, enchanting his blades with the word "Jinada", so that they may cripple with a single slice. If that doesn't do the job, Gondar reaches for his oversized Shuriken, and slings it into his victim's back. For the right price, the Bounty Hunter will deliver any head. The hunted are tagged with an invisible mark, allowing Gondar and his partners to Track, kill, and make a little extra off the corpse. Because in the end, it's all about the gold.
