Skills:

Camouflage



Strike out from nowhere. The Camouflage skill gives the hero invisibility and bonus backstab damage on the first attack, at te price of mana and reduced movement speed. Although an invisibility skill, it is not an effective escaping skill, due to the movespeed penalty. However, when used in ambushing, its massive backstab damage and invisibility are priceless as it catches a hero unawares, giving an extensive first-hit advantage. Other than those, it also has a long duration, allowing the player to plan the ambush in advance. An essential skill for the Master Ranger.

Volley



Volley is a highly variable nuking spell, but is easy to use. It is virtually useless in long ranges, but when used at point blank range, it can deal the x2 times the damage of a normal nuking skill, which can be devastating. Moreover, Camouflage allows the Master Ranger to get close enough to her victim for a deadly point blank shot, provided that the ambush is planned beforehand. A powerful skill to have, especially against melee heroes.

Lesser Power: Marksman Mastery



Marksman Mastery has a unique mechanism. It gives a powerful bonus damage to the Master Ranger's attacks, provided she remains immobile for 3 seconds consecutively. Although it looks like a standard damage boosting skill at first glance, when coupled with Camouflage's bonus backstab damage, it can deal major damage to an unsuspecting enemy in a single shot, gaining control of the battle easily. An effective secondary skill to have with Camouflage as the primary skill.

Ultimate: Spirit Arrow



The signature skill of the Master Ranger. A channeling skill that charges a magically enhanced arrow at full blast, then releasing it at the target enemy. This is the ultimate finishing skill to finish off dying or escaping heroes, and it can even be used concurrently with Camouflage to ensure her safety by staying invisible during the channeling process. However, regardless with or without Camouflage, the fact remains that she is vulnerable to attacks and unable to retaliate when channeling, and hence this skill must be used if and only if there are no potential threats present nearby.
