TARGET MODE none

Passive - After a short time not taking physical damage from players or Roshan, for every 100 distance moved without stopping (not counting blink), gain a stack of physical damage barrier, up to a cap, lasting 3.5s together. When expired, barrier gradually decays at the rate of 100 per second. Barrier duration is refreshed and paused during Monstrous Cyclone. Passive Aura - Grant bonus movement speed to nearby allies moving towards you, including your Whirlwinds. Treats allies as moving towards you if you are inside a 250-radius straight line of their movement direction. Lv25R Talent [Windshield Barrier Aura]: Gain the same bonus MS when moving towards ally Whirlwinds. Allies in 900 radius gain p.dmg barrier the same way.

IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Master of whirlwinds.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

On a vast mountaintop perpetually surrounded by a storm of tempests, an ancient tribe of Wildwings have long made it their homestead by learning to counter-act the whirling wind in unison despite their earliest infights to contest the peak. With the wind too devastating even for wyverns and innate flyers alike, they flourished and remain hidden for ages. Through time, came a bright prodigy powerful enough to whirl all by herself. Afraid of that causing too great of a turbulence to the sheltering wind and the unity. The tribe's matriarch sent the barely of age child far off and to only return until she can tame her own flow. Thinking it's a good way to practice her wind-bending might, Sylph leaned into the war of the Ancients, where she quickly became very fond of the world being more turbulent than just the wind.
