Gondar the Bounty Hunter is a melee agility Hero that excels in dealing high amounts of damage to single targets. Bounty Hunter can easily gank other lanes, using his Shadow Walk to sneak up on enemies and get easy kills. Shadow Walk also allows him to escape from dangerous situations, making him very elusive. Bounty Hunter can be played as a carry thanks to Track, which will grant True Sight, movement speed, and bonus gold, allowing him and his team to farm and earn powerful items faster than other carries and Jinada which amplifies the damage of his next attack every few seconds.

Bio

Gondar, the Bounty Hunter Play "For the right price, anything." Role: Carry / Escape / Nuker Lore: When the hunted tell tales of Gondar the Bounty Hunter, none are sure of which are true. In whispered tones they say he was abandoned as a kit, learning his skill in tracking as a matter of simple survival. Others hear he was an orphan of war, taken in by the great Soruq the Hunter to learn the master’s skill with a blade as they plumbed the dark forests for big game. Still others believe he was a lowly street urchin raised among a guild of cutpurses and thieves, trained in the arts of stealth and misdirection. Around campfires in the wild countryside his quarry speaks the rumors of Gondar’s work, growing ever more fearful: they say it was he who tracked down the tyrant King Goff years after the mad regent went into hiding, delivering his head and scepter as proof. That it was he who infiltrated the rebel camps at Highseat, finally bringing the legendary thief White Cape to be judged for his crimes. And that it was he who ended the career of Soruq the Hunter, condemned as a criminal for killing the Prince’s prized hellkite. The tales of Gondar’s incredible skill stretch on, with each daring feat more unbelievable than the last, each target more elusive. For the right price, the hunted know, anyone can be found. For the right price, even the mightiest may find fear in the shadows. Voice: Michael Gregory (Responses)

Abilities

Shuriken Toss Q T Ability Affects Damage Target Unit Enemies Magical Hurls a deadly shuriken at an enemy unit, dealing damage and ministunning the target. Range: 650 Damage: 100/200/250/325 10 90/115/135/155 While the shuriken may be small, Gondar's precise aim can cause critical damage.

Notes: Mini-stuns the target on impact.

Jinada W J Ability Affects Damage Passive Self Physical Bounty Hunter plans his next hit, passively adding a critical strike and maim to his next attack. Duration: 3 Movement Speed Slow: 25% Attack Speed Slow: 25 Critical Damage: 150% / 175% / 200% / 225% 12/10/8/6 Whispering an enchantment he learned from Soruq to his faithful blades, Gondar targets vital tendons and joints to disable his opponents.

Notes: This will not amplify the damage of your Shadow Walk ability.

Shadow Walk E W Ability Affects Damage No Target Self Physical Bounty Hunter becomes invisible and gains the ability to move through other units until he attacks or uses an ability. If he breaks the invisibility with an attack, that attack will deal bonus damage. Duration: 15/20/25/30 Bonus Damage: 30/60/90/120 Fade Time: 1/0.75/0.5/0.25 Seconds 15 50 The court jesters present during King Goff's assassination can recount no other image than a dancing shadow.

Notes: Will not break most channeling of spells upon activation. The base damage this ability gives you will not be multiplied by critical hits. Invisibility is broken as soon as you start an attack, or start casting any spell.

Track R R Ability Affects Target Unit Enemy Heroes Tracks an enemy hero and grants a gain in movement speed to allies near the hunted. If the target dies, Bounty Hunter and nearby heroes collect a bounty in gold. Range: 900/1050/1200 Speed Radius: 900 Duration: 30 Bonus movement speed: 20% Bonus Gold for Self: 150/200/250 Bonus Gold for Allies: 50/100/150 10/7/5 70/60/50 Illusions gain movement speed bonus. Using his elevated senses of sight and smell, Gondar's hits have quite a good chance of success.

Notes: Bounty Hunter will get the bonus gold if the target dies while the spell is still active, regardless of how it dies. Gives True Sight of the target. Bonus gold will be added as reliable gold. Goes through magic immunity such as Black King Bar. However, if a unit becomes magic immune while under the effects of Track it will be dispelled.

Recommended items

Explanation: Your main goal is to increase your damage to be able to burst down people with jinada, therefore raw damage items like Monkey King Bar, Desolator, Battle Fury, etc, are preferred over attack speed items. Phase Boots is a very situational choice for Gondar, the better choice is Tranquil boots, as they give the highest amount of movespeed (except Boots of travel). Also they allow you to recover HP quickly and they are the cheapest upgraded boots in game. Medallion of Courage helps make up for Bounty Hunter's low mana pool, and its active ability can be used to weaken targets before ganking them. Drum of Endurance is an excellent item for Bounty Hunter, helping his mana problems as well as improving his movement speed, which is crucial for successful ganks. Battle Fury is item which may not actually serve Bounty Hunter well; his main roles are semi-carry and ganker, due to his ultimate which allows him to gain more gold from ganks, this makes focusing on farming inefficient, and while it does provide health and mana regeneration that does allow him to keep ganking without needing to return to the fountain, the same regeneration can be obtained from Linken's Sphere which provides greater utility, the only useful advantage Battle Fury has over Linken's Sphere is the damage boost, which can be easily compensated for with other damaging items which may in addition provide other utilities more applicable to Bounty Hunter's role (Orchid Malevolence, Desolator etc). Butterfly is a pretty good item if the game is going to late game, since it provides 60 damage (like Desolator and Battle Fury) as well as high attack speed and evasion.

Trivia

• In DotA, Gondar shared the same hero model and dialogue as Akama, a playable Broken Draenei hero in the campaign of Warcraft III: Frozen Throne, and later an NPC in World of Warcraft.
