Blackfeather unleashed!

As of now, Blackfeather can be unlocked with ICE only for the first 7 days but after that, you can unlock him with either ICE or Glory. He is a worthy fighter because of the abilities that he is capable of.

Let's take a look at his skills without further ado!

Heartthrob – Blackfeather’s hero perk applies Heartthrob stacks to enemies. He deals crystal damage for each stack of this perk that is on target. Instead of Energy, he uses Focus for his abilities. It is capped at 100 and regenerates naturally while recovering an additional 10 Focus for every basic attack he lands.

Feint of Heart – With this skill, Blackfeather lunges to his target and deals an increasing attack damage (+60 crystal power). For the following 4 seconds, a rose trail is left behind the attacked target exposing his location and increasing the speed of Blackfeather and allies as they follow the enemy. Any slow attack done on Blackfeather or allies will be removed as they move along the trail of roses. Also, if the target is killed within 0.5 seconds after being attacked then this perk’s cooldown is reset.

On Point – This powerful attack pierces all enemies in a line, causing damage and decaying slow for 1 second. And with each stack of Heartthrob on the target, the duration of this slow increases by 0.3 seconds. If one enemy hero is hit by it, Blackfeather gains a barrier that scales with 15% of his bonus health, thus recovering 35 Focus. The amount of Focus recovered can be further increased with 2% of his Max Energy and 50% of his energy regeneration.

Rose Offensive – The last and strongest skill allows Blackfeather to cut through his enemies, landing basic attacks on all enemies along his path. While he is dashing, he becomes immune to any negative effects performed on him and takes extremely reduced damage.

Having seen his skill, we can immediately see how powerful a team can become when Blackfeather is utilized properly and is putting more focus into team work rather than fighting for individual glory.

I've played him several times with varying results—and this is not like Taka where I can do well alone late game after farming decently. Its hard to win in a 2v1 unlike a well-built Taka or Krul but Blackfeather is one hero that can unleash devastating results if working properly as a team.

I've not played much in ranked games much yet—maybe I will when I change to a better phone or get my new iPad. Here are some examples of my builds and game results.

Bad game for me but I've learnt a lesson and we lose as a team. They are not really used to playing with Blackfeather in their game and this is one of my first game that taught me a good lesson.

Just a quick tip, the ulti for Blackfeather can also be used as an escape skill since it grants you invulnerability against negative effects and you take greatly reduced damage. Do make use of it when ganking and you happen to be in danger.
