Samuro's Traits and Abilities
Fans will be delighted to see that Samuro's abilities in "Heroes of the Storm" are almost exactly similar to the ones he has in "WarCraft 3." Samuro's Trait is called Advancing Strike. This means that all basic attacks against enemy Heroes will increase your Movement Speed by 25 percent that lasts for 2 seconds.
His primary abilities include Mirror Image, Critical Strike, and Wind Walk. Mirror Image creates two mirror images of the hero that deal 30 percent of your damage and will have 50 percent of your current health. They will last for up to 18 seconds, and there could only be 2 images active at once.
Critical Strike will allow the player's next Basic Attack within 10 seconds to be a Critical Strike. This will deal 50 percent more damage, and is applicable to Mirror Images as well. Wind Walk will allow the hero to enter Stealth for either up to 8 seconds or until the player attacks, use an Ability, or take damage. During Stealth, the hero's Movement Speed is increased by 25 percent.
Samuro's secondary abilities in "Heroes of the Storm" include Bladestorm and Illusion Master. Bladestorm will cause an unstoppable whirlwind that deals moderate damage to nearby enemies for 4 seconds. Illusion Master will then allow the player to switch places with a target Mirror Image.
