In order to fulfill the prophecy and return to his home town, Kardel must make another shot as perfect as the one on the day of his ancient test.

• Modified values: Damage, damage type and stun duration.

• The projectile travels at a speed of 2500.

• Assassinate places a debuff on the target as soon as Sniper begins casting.
  • The debuff lasts 4 seconds, or until the projectile lands, or the cast gets canceled.
  • The debuff grants shared vision with the targeted unit. Does not provide any vision when targeting neutral creeps.
  • The debuff grants True Sight over the target. This means that Assassinate cannot be canceled or be disjointed with invisibility.

• Can directly target invulnerable units, and does not get canceled if the target turns invulnerable during the cast time.
  • The vision debuff is not placed when targeting an invulnerable unit, but stays if the unit turned invulnerable during the cast time.
  • The projectile does not affect the target if it is still invulnerable on impact.

• Upon projectile impact, the projectile scatters, launching new projectiles to everyone behind the target.
  • The area is rectangular behind the target. The launched projectiles trave at half the speed of the initial projectile, at 1250.
  • The projectiles deal 60% less damage than the primary projectile, dealing 400/560/720 damage.
  • The secondary targets are not stunned.

• When upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter, Assassinate targets every enemy unit within the target area.
  • The upgrade causes the scatter effect and the prolonged stun to not happen.
  • It also deals less damage unless Sniper has at least 358/500/643 attack damage (not considering target armor).
  • Unlike the single-target version, the upgraded Assassinate fully ignores invulnerable units. It neither initially targets them, nor does it launch a projectile for them.
  • All targets are marked upon cast. Entering or leaving the area during the cast time as no effect.
  • While the single-target version is subject to the motion buffer range, the area targeted version is not, meaning no matter how far a marked enemy moves away, it will get hit.
  • This means even if an enemy teleports away after being marked, Sniper still launches the projectile towards them.
  • If no valid targets are within the area, the spell still gets cast, wasting mana and cooldown.

• Aghanim's Scepter causes Sniper to perform an instant attack on all targets.
  • The launched projectile is still the regular Assassinate projectile, but having its damage set to 0. The instant attack is perfomed when the projectile hits its target.
  • These instant attacks do not use Sniper's attack projectile speed, they hit their targets instantly.
  • These attacks have True Strike, and can therefore never miss. They also ignore disarms.
  • Can proc any attack modifier on all of the hit targets normally. Can also proc any on-hit effects, including Damage Block.
  • These attacks have an ensured critical strike. They also always proc Headshot.
