Yurnero, the Juggernaut, is a melee agility hero whose abilities allow him to sprint into battle and recklessly devastate enemies in an impenetrable flurry of blades.

His abilities grant invulnerability and spell immunity, turning him into an unstoppable force on a hairpin. Juggernaut is strong both offensively and defensively, and deals heavy damage both physical and magical with his Blade Fury and Omnislash ultimate, but he possesses below average strength and intelligence attributes, so he does not have as much health and mana as other heroes and is vulnerable when his abilities are on cooldown. For this reason, although his abilities make him powerful even in the early game, he cannot charge into forces without restraint until farmed and is usually played as a carry.

Bio

Yurnero, the Juggernaut

▶️ "By the Visage of Vengeance, which drowned in the Isle of Masks, I will carry on the rites of the Faceless Ones."

Lore:

No one has ever seen the face hidden beneath the mask of Yurnero the Juggernaut. It is only speculation that he even has one. For defying a corrupt lord, Yurnero was exiled from the ancient Isle of Masks--a punishment that saved his life. The isle soon after vanished beneath the waves in a night of vengeful magic. He alone remains to carry on the Isle's long Juggernaut tradition, one of ritual and swordplay. The last practitioner of the art, Yurnero's confidence and courage are the result of endless practice; his inventive bladework proves that he has never stopped challenging himself. Still, his motives are as unreadable as his expression. For a hero who has lost everything twice over, he fights as if victory is a foregone conclusion.

Of the rituals learned at the Isle of Masks, tending wounds with a bit of voodoo magic has proven to be quite useful.

• The heal is provided by an aura. The buff lingers for 2.5 seconds.
  • The healing auras of multiple Healing Wards do not stack.

• Can regenerate up to 55%/82.5%/110%/137.5% of a unit's max health over its full duration.

• Requires Aghanim's Scepter to be unlocked.
  • Swiftslash cannot be cast while Blade Fury and Omnislash is active.
  • In Ability Draft, Swiftslash can be unlocked by the player that drafted Omnislash.

• Does not require Omnislash to be leveled to be unlocked, once Aghanim's Scepter is acquired.
  • However, it relies on Omnislash to work, since it directly uses its values. This means when Omnislash is not learned, Swiftslash does nothing on cast.

• Omnislash notes fully apply.

• Swiftslash is distinguished by blue particles, as opposed to the orange particles of Omnislash.

‘The fruits of discipline; with practice comes strength.’

• Omnislash cannot be cast while Blade Fury and Swiftslash is active.
  • Juggernaut can cast other abilities and use items during Omnislash.
  • During Omnislash, Juggernaut does not need to turn in order to cast targeted spells or items.

• Turns Juggernaut spell immune, invulnerable and rooted for the whole duration, and applies a basic dispel on cast.

• The slash interval equals Juggernaut's current attack rate, divided by 1.5.
  • This means the maximum possible interval for Omnislash is 4.67 and the minimum is 0.13, considering minimum and maximum possible attack speeds.
  • The interval is not set on cast. On each slash, the interval updates based on his current attack rate.

• Causes Juggernaut to perform instant attacks on enemies he slashes.
  • These instant attacks can proc any attack modifiers and on-hit effects normally. They do not have True Strike, but completely ignore disarms.

• Can jump on invulnerable units, however, since the damage is dealt by Juggernaut attacking the targets, invulnerable and ethereal targets take no damage.
• Cannot target, or jump on wards, Couriers and buildings.
• Cannot jump on units in the Fog of War, invisible or hidden units, Undying Zombie and on Astral Spirit.

• If no valid targets can be found within range and within 0.15 seconds after the previous jump, Omnislash ends prematurely.

• On each slash, Juggernaut is positioned at the opposite side of the target from Juggernaut's position, facing the target.
  • The 425 slash radius is centered around Juggernaut, not around the current target.

• Provides 200 radius flying vision lasting 1 second on each slash around the current target.

• Recasting Omnislash while the previous cast is still active cancels the previous cast and starts a new instance.
  • This also applies when Swiftslash is cast during Omnislash, the former canceling the latter, and vice versa.

• Centers the player's camera perspective on Juggernaut on cast, following his position during Omnislash.

Gameplay

What laid under the Juggernaut's mask, none could say. The last of his kind, Yurnero carries alone the martial traditions of his native isle, now sunken forever beneath the waves. The Juggernaut elevates swordplay to an art form, cutting down foes in the unstoppable cyclone of Blade Fury, and striking at every vulnerability with Blade Dance. Should his party sustain injury, he is quick to replenishes their vitality with a portable Healing Ward. A paragon of discipline, Yurnero waits patiently for the opportune moment to execute his most fearsome technique. Dashing between foes with imperceptible swiftness, the Juggernaut's Omnislash eviscerates his opponents long before any can mount a defense.

Trivia

• Juggernaut's backstory and appearance bear many similarities to that of the Seguleh people in the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series of books by Steven Erikson.
• Juggernaut's ultimate, Omnislash, is inspired by and named after the signature move of Cloud Strife from the game Final Fantasy VII.
• The rare line ▶️ "Screw it, I'm going to five blades!" is a reference to an article from The Onion about the increasing number of blades put into razors.
• The line ▶️ "And then... there were none..." may be a reference to the Agatha Christie book by the same name.
• The line ▶️ "I'm the Juggernaut, Lich!" is a play on the quote "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch.", taken from a YouTube parody featuring re-dubbed scenes from X-Men: The Animated Series.
