Windranger
Dota 2 ยท Heroes. Windranger has her own Powershot card (accuracy and waiting for a stunned, rooted or slowed target). Shackleshot is cast only where the target will be bound to a tree or a unit, and if needed the combo moves her to the right side of the target first.

How to enableโ

What it doesโ
Default order: Shackleshot โ Focus Fire โ Windrun โ Powershot.
Shackleshot
- If there is a tree or a unit of the target's side behind the target (at its predicted position) that it will be bound to, the arrow goes at the target.
- If a unit of the target's side stands in front of the target and will be bound to it, the arrow goes at that unit.
- Otherwise the combo stops at this step and Windranger walks (or Blinks) to the far side of the target from the nearest anchor, from where the arrow binds it. Disabling items and Powershot wait until she gets there.
- With neither a tree nor a unit near the target, Shackleshot is not cast.
Powershot
- The arrow goes only if the hit prediction is at least the Hit chance.
- With Only on a held or slowed target (on by default) the arrow waits until the target is stunned or rooted when it lands (a Shackleshot in flight lands first) or slowed by at least Slowed by at least, %. While it waits, the other combo steps go on.
Gale Force (Aghanim's Shard) blows from the target toward Windranger, only while the target can move: on a shackled, stunned or rooted target the wind waits for the disable to end.

FAQโ
The combo doesn't cast Shackleshot. There is no tree or unit near the target to bind it to: then the arrow is not cast. If there is an anchor but it isn't in line, Windranger first moves to the right side of the target.
Powershot isn't used. By default the arrow waits for a target that is stunned, rooted or slowed by at least 40%. To shoot at any target, turn off Only on a held or slowed target.
Windranger walks sideways instead of attacking. That's the combo taking position for Shackleshot: on the far side of the target from the tree or unit it can be bound to.
