Cooldown: 9 seconds

Lore: During her early years of training, Lyralei learned to fire powerful arrows that cleaved even trees to reach their targets on the other side.

Is NOT blocked by Linken's Sphere.
The arrow initially moves at 3000 units per second, but slowed a little each time it hits an enemy or tree.
Powershot will destroy trees in its area of effect.
Grants temporary vision along its flight path.

Third Ability

Windrun [Keybind: E]

Increases movement speed and adds evasion from all physical attacks, while slowing movement of nearby enemies.

Bonus Movement Speed: 50%
Radius: 300
Enemy Slow: 8%/16%/24%/30%

Windrun CAN now evade projectiles that were created before it was activated.
The evasion is countered by True Strike.
The slow lasts for 2 seconds after leaving the radius.

Ultimate Ability

Focus Fire [Keybind: R]

Ability	Affects
Target Unit	Enemy Heroes

Windranger channels the wind, gaining maximum attack speed on the enemy unit or structure, although with reduced damage, including damage from unique attack modifiers and item effects. Once Windranger switches targets, the speed is lost, however the attack speed resumes when attacking the original unit or structure. Lasts 20 seconds.

Duration: 20
Damage Reduction: 50%/40%/30% (30/15/0 with Scepter)
Cooldown: 60 seconds (15 with Scepter)
Mana Cost: 75/100/125

Lore: Lyralei's ability to bombard opponents

Can target buildings and spell immune units.
Is blocked by Linken's Sphere.
Cannot be purged.
The damage reduction affects all damage from Lyralei while the spell is active, including alternate damage such as unique attack modifiers.
This ability gives 500 Attack Speed to Windranger, but with enough attack speed slow debuffs it is possible to make her net IAS less than 500 even with this skill active.
The attack speed gained from this buff only works when attacking the selected target, however the buff is not removed when attacking other targets, casting spells or using items and the bonus attack speed resumes once you attack the original target.
