Wow, my strategy's title is a very, very bad movie reference, so hopefully this guide (which is my first) will turn out to be better than my attempted joke. Alleria, when she first came out in Beta was pure pwnage. Not only did she possess her 3 normal skills but her ultimate allowed her to fly, yes I said it, FLY across the map making no one safe from her arrows. In the actual v1.55 her ultimate Focus Fire only allowed her to shoot 10 arrows at Max Attack speed, but now from v1.58 her FF got buffed by having a lower Damage Reduction and finally in v1.59 her Ultimate now lasts much, much longer. Alleria, if played right, can dominate at all stages of the game; Early-Mid- and Late. She can serve as many different roles on the team being a supporter (Shackles+Windrunner), an avid chaser (Windrunner), anti-DPS (Windrunner), ganker, pusher, sniper (Powershot), as well as a semi-carry psuedo DPS (Focus Fire). However, in order to fulfill these roles one must practice to finally harness the true power of Alleria, The Windrunner.

Alleria

Alleria - Windrunner


Range: 600 | Move Speed: 295
Primary: INT
Str: 15 + 2.5 | Agi: 17 + 1.4 | Int: 22 + 2.6
Damage: 44-56 | HP: 435 | Mana: 286
HP Regen: 0.7 | Mana Regen: 0.89
Attack Speed: 0.78 | Armor: 1
Shackleshot Shackleshot (E)
Alleria fires an enchanted arrow using wind magic that binds the target to an enemy unit or tree behind it.
Level 1 - Stun for 0.75 seconds, or 1.5 if close to enemy unit or tree.
Level 2 - Stun for 0.75 seconds, or 2.25 if close to enemy unit or tree.
Level 3 - Stun for 0.75 seconds, or 3 if close to enemy unit or tree.
Level 4 - Stun for 0.75 seconds, or 3.75 if close to enemy unit or tree.
• If the target isn't shackled to anything, the stun only lasts 0.75 seconds.
• This spell can shackle two enemies together, stunning them both.
• Trees created by Furion's Sprout spell are valid targets for shackling.
• Can shackle the target to an enemy unit or tree at most 425 units behind it.
• Casting range: 600
Mana Cost: 90/100/110/120
Cooldown: 10
Comment: This skill is the only stun that Alleria possesses and it is the first of her 2 disables. The cooldown is actually 10 seconds in 6.59 instead of 14. This skill requires practice to aim right but if done correctly it yields incredible results: It can stun a hero (or two) for 3.75 seconds which is enough time to fire a lot of Focus Fire shots.

Powershot Powershot (R)
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.
Level 1 - Fires an arrow that shoots through targets with 120 initial damage, and 10% reduced damage for each other target hit.
Level 2 - Fires an arrow that shoots through targets with 200 initial damage, and 10% reduced damage for each other target hit.
Level 3 - Fires an arrow that shoots through targets with 280 initial damage, and 10% reduced damage for each other target hit.
Level 4 - Fires an arrow that shoots through targets with 360 initial damage, and 10% reduced damage for each other target hit.
• Damage type: magical
• The arrow initially moves at a rate of 3000 units per second.
• The arrow is slowed a little each time it hits an enemy or a tree.
• This spell destroys trees.
• This skill has a short channeling time. If canceled before Alleria finishes channeling, the arrow will deal less damage.
• Casting range: 1800
• Area of Effect: 150
Mana Cost: 90/100/110/120
Cooldown: 9
Comment: Alleria's only nuke, but its an incredibly good one. This skill allows Alleria to tear up Early and Mid game. If you have enough mana this skill makes a very good harassing tool but should be used wisely. Powershot can also be used as a finisher as it is similar to the Dwarven Sniper's Assassinate.
Windrunner Windrunner (W)
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.
Level 1 - Gives complete physical evasion, 50% increased MS, and slows nearby enemies by 8%, lasts 2.75 seconds.
Level 2 - Gives complete physical evasion, 50% increased MS, and slows nearby enemies by 16%, lasts 3.50 seconds.
Level 3 - Gives complete physical evasion, 50% increased MS, and slows nearby enemies by 24%, lasts 4.25 seconds.
Level 4 - Gives complete physical evasion, 50% increased MS, and slows nearby enemies by 30%, lasts 5 seconds.
• The slow will affect enemies with magic immunity.
• Incoming projectiles before this skill is activated will not be evaded.
Mana Cost: 100
Cooldown: 30/25/20/15
Comment: This skill serves as both Alleria's chasing and escaping tool. Windrunner gives you 5 seconds of 100% Attack Evasion. This means that DPSers are rendered completely useless against you for up to 5 seconds as every normal attack will miss you. You can also use this skill for chasing because once you have Boots of Speed it will give you close to Max Movement Speed (518, Max MS is 522) and the slow allows you to catch up with your enemies faster.
Focus Fire Focus Fire (F)
Alleria channels wind throughout her body to surge an excess of adrenaline, giving her maximum attack speed. Damage is reduced in this state.
Level 1 - Constantly attacks with 50% reduced damage and maximum attack speed at the target, when Aghanim's Scepter acquired, it does not reduce seconday item effects (like bonus damage from Bash, Chain Lightning).
Level 2 - Constantly attacks with 40% reduced damage and maximum attack speed at the target, when Aghanim's Scepter acquired, it does not reduce seconday item effects (like bonus damage from Bash, Chain Lightning).
Level 3 - Constantly attacks with 30% reduced damage and maximum attack speed at the target, when Aghanim's Scepter acquired, it does not reduce seconday item effects (like bonus damage from Bash, Chain Lightning).
• The damage reduction affects all damage from Alleria while the spell is active, including alternate damage such as orb effects.
• Can target buildings and magic immune units.
• Casting range: 600
Mana Cost: 200/300/400
Cooldown: 60(15)/60(15)/60(15)
Comment: Max Attack Speed? FREAKING AWESOME. However, considering the dmg reduction on this skill for the 1st level dont get this skill until Level 10 and 11 because Powershot will serve most of your dmg needs early on. But dont worry about the reduction in dmg that much, the max attack speed allows Alleria to maximize the use of items such as Life Steal Items, Monkey King Bar, Crystalis, and Buriza
