• The evasion works against ranged attacks only.

Modifiers

modifier_clinkz_strafe

Any

It's hard to say whether the blur around the Bone Fletcher is from his flaming heart or his speed with the quiver.

• This ability got replaced by Death Pact in the 7.23 gameplay patch.

• Strafe does not interrupt Clinkz' channeling spells upon cast.

• Does not disjoint projectiles upon cast, or upon enemy projectile launch. They are disjointed upon reaching Clinkz.
  • This means when Strafe expires before an already launched projectile hits, it does not get disjointed and fully affects Clinkz.

• Does not disjoint projectiles coming from allies. This includes enemy projectiles that bounce off of allies onto Clinkz.

• The disjoint takes place before evasion, Spell Block and Spell Reflection do, meaning they cannot trigger on projectiles during Strafe.

• Successive casts of Strafe do not stack, but refresh the duration, and update the attack speed to the current level.

Modifiers

modifier_clinkz_searing_arrows

Undispellable

Clinkz simply lights his arrows from his flaming essence for quite the destructive effect.

• This ability is removed and replaced with Tar Bomb in 7.33.

• The cast range of Searing Arrows is based on the attack range of the caster.
  • Therefore, the bonus attack range talent further increases the cast range to .

• The bonus damage is dealt in a separate damage instance, and counts as spell damage.
  • This means it is not affected or considered by anything that works with attack damage.
  • It is affected by spell damage amplification and can spell lifesteal.

• Can be cast on buildings but not on wards and allied units.

• TALENT
  • The damage increasing talent immediately upgrades all of Clinkz's currently flying Searing Arrows, including Burning Barrage arrows.
  • With the multishot talent, whenever Searing Arrows is used, a different random target within its cast range is also targeted by a second Searing Arrow.
    • Causes Clinkz to perform an instant attack on the chosen target whenever he launches a Searing Arrow.
    • The search radius can be further increased by other attack range bonuses.
    • These instant attacks can proc any attack modifiers and on-hit effects normally. They do not have True Strike.
    • The secondary arrow has no target priorities. It simply chooses a random valid target within cast range.
    • Since Searing Arrows affect buildings, the secondary arrows can target buildings but not Outposts.
  • Both talents fully affect Skeleton Archers.

Sutherex' bond of life and death has become a part of Clinkz, and his old bones are refreshed with repetition of the pact on lesser beings.

• This ability got reworked into the current Death Pact in the 7.27b gameplay patch.

• The targeted unit is instantly killed, counting as a regular last hit or deny.

• Increases Clinkz' maximum health without keeping the current health percentage, then heals Clinkz for the same amount.

• When the Death Pact buff expires, Clinkz' maximum health returns to normal, but his current health is kept, without exceeding his maximum health.

• While having the buff, Clinkz' attacks place an armor reducing debuff on targets.
  • Successive attacks do not stack the debuff, but refresh the duration instead.
  • The attacks first apply the debuff, then their own damage.
  • Works against every unit, including wards, buildings and allied units.

• When an enemy hero (including clones, excluding illusions) dies with the debuff on them, Clinkz gains the permanent attack damage.
  • It does not matter how the target dies or who kills them, the damage is always granted.
  • Since the debuff can be placed on allies as well, denying allies grants the damage as well.

• Successive casts of Death Pact do not stack, but refresh the duration and update the values.

• Cannot be cast on ancient creeps and creep-heroes.

• Cannot be cast on allied units. Can be cast on own Skeleton Archers, but not enemy or allied ones.

Death

Sutherex' bond of life and death has become a part of Clinkz, and his old bones are refreshed with repetition of the pact on lesser beings.

• This ability got replaced by Burning Army in the 7.20 gameplay patch.

• The targeted unit is instantly killed, counting as a regular last hit or deny.

• The health and damage bonus are based on the targeted unit's current health.

• The damage is directly added to Clinkz' base attack damage, so it is subject to lifesteal, crits, damage reduction (e.g. Enfeeble) and amplification (e.g. Empower).

• Increases Clinkz' maximum and current health, effectively healing him for the amount.

• When the Death Pact buff expires, Clinkz' maximum health returns to normal, but his current health is kept, without exceeding his maximum health.

• Successive casts of Death Pact do not stack, but refresh the duration and update the values based on the current level and the target's current health.

• Cannot be cast on ancient creeps and creep-heroes.

• Can be cast on allied creeps.
