Alleria the Windrunner | New Dota-Allstars Hero

Now, there is a new hero on Dota 6.55 It's named Alleria the Windrunner. First time she's seen as Traxex but she's an Intelligence hero not an Agility Hero as Traxex.

These are her skills :

Shackleshot
Alleria fires an enchanted arrow using wind magic that binds the target to an enemy unit or tree behind it.
Cooldown: 14
Manacost: 90/100/110/120
Always knocks back the target. If the target hits a group of units or a tree, the struck units (including the target) are stunned for 1.4/2.1/2.8/3.5 seconds. (700 unit cast distance)

Power Shot
Windrunner winds up her bow for up to 1 second to perform a single powerful shot. The arrow travels 1700 distance, dealing damage and destroying trees in its path. The damaged dealt is greatest to the first target of it hits and is reduced by 10% with each other it passes through.
Cooldown: 12
Manacost: 90/100/110/120
Deals 120/200/280/360 damage to all enemies in straight line. The arrow has vision and knocks down trees in the process.

Windrunner
Imbues her body with the essence of wind, increasing her movement speed by 50% and giving her the ability to evade all physical attacks for short period of time. Additionally, the gusts of wind around her impairs the movement of nearby enemies, slowing their movement speed in a 300 AoE around her.
Cooldown: 65/50/35/20
Manacost: 100
Say goodbye to this Imba cyclone skill, now it only gives you 50% ms increase, and 100% evasion for 2.75/3.5/4.25/5 seconds and 8/16/24/30 % slow.

Focus Fire (ultimate)
Alleria channels wind throughout her body to surge an excess of adrenaline, giving her maximum attack speed on one target for 10 attacks. Damage is reduced in this state.
Cooldown: 60
Manacost: 200/300/400
Now, her ultimate has been nerfed. No longer IMBA flying unit. Now it seems to give max attack speed for 10 attacks as long as your attacking the target. Your damage get reduced on 50/40/30 % while using this skill.

Here are the screenshots when she's used her skills :

Download Dota map 6.55 BETA 30

Dota 6.55 BETA 30 leaked !!! I know it from dota-allstars-blog and great thanks to him :D As you know, I have share my experience about some bugs on Dota 6.55 BETA before. And now, I want to share Dota 6.55 BETA 30 to you ! There are some changelogs on this map, here they are :

Item Changes

Lothars = Claymore + Quarterstaff + 1400 recipe
Diffusal Blade = 2xblade of Alacrity + Robe of Magi + 850 recipe
Sange+Yasha recipe = 500 less ms increase and dmg
Magic stick now has "energy charge"
Glyph of Fortification , you can instantly boost your buildings' armor for 4 sec every 6 min now in one of the shops. You don't buy it, just click the icon in the shop.
Blades of Attack = 650 -> 500
Gloves of Haste = 550 -> 500
Armlet recipe = 700 -> 900
You can buy scrolls of Town Portal in the shops on the side lanes now and some trees were removed. so the area around the shops is way more open now.
Aegis no longer revives you at the base. you will revive where you die.
Vanguard grants 50 extra hp
Heart has 4 extra hp regen

Layouts

Scourge base was rearranged so base layouts are symmetric again
Scourge tavern now in top-left of the map
There is a message displayed whenever someone destroys a tower, "Drake has destroyed a tower", or "The Sentinel has destroyed a tower"

Update from previous Beta

Dirge: size back to normal

Alleria the Windrunner

New ultimate, Focus Fire. Seems to give max attack speed for 9 attacks as long as your attacking the target. At max level, you attack for full damage, at level one u do less damage per attack, don't know what the exact percent is, maybe 33%/66%/100%. Thanks God it's changed, the old ultimate is way too IMBA in my opinion ^_^
Shackle Shot, Windrunner 1st skill is no longer pushes back, it will 'link' two units together and stun them both, hence, shackles... it wont stun nearly as long if there is no unit near by.
Power Shot, Windrunner 2nd skill, now has a short casting delay, and i think it does more dmg. (360 dmg at max lvl, and -10% damage per target it passes through, or at least the second target takes 324 dmg)
"Windrunner" now become 3rd skills. Looks like "sprint"gives a 50% ms increase, and 100% evasion for 3/4/5/6 seconds
