Clinkz Added to Dota 2 Beta

He fletches bones!

January 26, 2012

Valve has a tradition of updating the Dota 2 beta every Thursday. Except when they don't, which is sometimes. Today they totally did, though, and in today's update they added Bone Fletcher (AKA Clinkz).

An agility hero, Bone Fletcher is an adept ranged ambusher. Wind Walk makes him invisible and increases his movement speed for 20 seconds, allowing him to slip in and out of battle. When he has his mark in sight, he can use Strafe to greatly increase his attack speed for a short duration. Using Searing Arrows to add bonus fire damage to each attack in conjunction with Strafe, Bone Fletcher can cut both enemy heroes and structures very quickly. His ultimate, Death Pact, lets him consume a unit to gain health and increase his health capacity temporarily. He also gains a portion of the unit's maximum health as attack damage.

His reliance on auto-attacks makes him extra item-reliant, but with a good team he ought to be able to carry pretty darn well.
