- Notes: Does not interrupt Hoodwink's channeling abilities or any other orders upon cast. The Scurry buff is based on the ability's current level, but is always placed. This means when not learned, the buff only grants tree-walking. Although thematically based on Bushwhack, the area stun is independent from the ability. Uses Spell Block, so when triggered by a targeted ability, the ability gets nullified. This means abilities that do not trigger Spell Block do not trigger Decoy's effect either.
