Kinjutsu: Pinnacle Ninja
Skill 3MorphMobilityCD: 24
Hanzo charges into battle as Hanekage, consuming 17 Energy per second. He gains 2 Energy when a non-hero unit dies nearby and 20 Energy when it's a hero. After consuming all his Energy, Hanzo's body will be slowly drawn to Hanekage's current position. While in Hanekage form, Hanzo's body is invincible, and Hanekage ignores obstacles and gains 50% Movement Speed (decays over time) and 30% Attack Speed. After being killed, Hanekage will be immediately drawn to Hanzo's position, during which he recovers 16% HP and cannot be targeted. This effect is also triggered when the skill is cast again. If Hanekage is killed, Hanzo will be slowed by 50% and reveal his location for 6s.

When the target has max stacks of Dark Ninjutsu, it deals additional damage equal to 15 (+2% Extra Physical Attack)% of the target's Max HP (this damage ignores 30% of the target's Physical Defense) and recovers 20% HP for Hanzo.
