Another New Hero!
Alleria the Windrunner

Layout Changes:

• Sent hero taverns now on bottom right
• Fountain is farther away from tree
• Waterfalls on left that you can walk into but has no effect
• Scourge base not changed at all

Items Changes:

• Crow doesn’t have mana upgrade=no more ward placing
• The courier has the skill Drop items (drops all the items the courier is carrying)
• Dagger is now not disabled by towers, neutral creeps, roshan, or his spells… looks like its only disabled if the source of the dmg is from an enemy hero.
• Phase Boots – Boots of Speed + Chain mail + Blades of Attack (No recipe cost).
• Before forming the item: +50 speed, +9 damage, +5 armor
• After forming the item: +60 speed, +14 damage, +6 armor and the active ability Phase which gives a further 10% MS boost speed and the ability to move through other units (similar to Spectre’s phase dagger, i.e. 0 collision size) for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 10 seconds. Mana cost: 0
• So, on an average, you get +77 speed. More than Treads, less than Travels (but more than Travels when Phasing). The 0 collision size should be useful for chasers. Having to activate the ability every 10 seconds may get annoying. Also, Wind Walk-type spells removes the Phase buff. (You can still walk through units, as with any Wind Walk based ability, but you lose the 10% speed bonus from Phase.) Not sure if this is a bug or intended
• Blades of Attack: 500 gold
• Observer wards: Stock max=2 Replenish time: 6 minutes
• Scroll of Town Portal has no cooldown when you buy it (you can buy as many as you like without having to wait to it to replenish in the stock)
• When teleporting to a friendly tower (and only towers), it doesn’t get +99999 armor but it can attack AND you can choose where to teleport in a 300 range or so of the tower without having a unit/building as teleport target. (only scrolls work, not boots of travel):

Updates from previous Betas:

• Poison Powder is no longer exist
• Undying still tiny
• Enigma’s ulti doesn’t have dark effect (as stated on earlier betas)
• Ezalor’s recall: 40 seconds cooldown, and it stops when the target is damaged, if ezalor is attacked the recall is not interrupted
• Coco’s Rum is now ulti, 60 cooldown, it gives 3/4/5 seconds of 100% 2x criticals and you don’t get any penalty (no more missed attacks) the next seconds.

Alleria the Windrunner Guide, Dota 6.55 New Hero (Beta). I think this hero will be controversial one. Alleria’s ultimate turn her into a tornado, which is a completely flying unit, for several seconds. Flying unit means you can move over trees, hills and has complete sight over it. It means you cannot juke from her while she is using Windrunner. Both with Kunkka the Admiral Proudmoore, they are great additional heroes. And yeah, she is an Intelligence hero, lot of people mistake and assume her as Agility type. I think that’s because we’re seen her as Traxec ^-^

Alleria The Windrunner

These are her skills.
1: Shackleshot – 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 0/1/2/3 seconds. (700 unit cast distance)

2: Power Shot – Deals 100/200/280/360 damage to all enemies in straight line. The arrow has vision and knocks down trees in the process. (1200 unit cast distance)

3: Fight in the Shade – Each unit in the target AoE loses 15/20/25/30% of its maximum health after 1 second. (600 unit cast distance)

4: Windrunner (ultimate) – Hero morphs into a cyclone and gains 100% evasion and 55/80/105 increased ms for 10 seconds. The hero is effectively a flying unit, can see over trees, fly over them, etc. She can use all her skills while in this form.

She is very good at chasing and ganking. Her ultimate, Windrunner, is incredible for chasing and escaping from ganks. Being able to see and fly over trees means that it is impossible to juke her. Even without her ultimate, Shackle Shot and Power Shot make for great chasing abilities. Power Shot can be used to create shortcuts through trees to catch up with your target.’Fight in the shade’ is arguably her worst skill. The AoE is pathetic, and 25% max HP damage isn’t much considering the long cast time. A properly aimed Shackle Shot (to ensure the enemy hits other units or trees and gets stunned) is necessary to make full use of this skill. All in all, a fun hero. A bit lacking in damage, but makes up for it with interesting abilities. Thanks to redrach and Mr.Jag for this complete analysis of Alleria.
