Monkey King

Notes:

• Boundless Strike’s effects are instantly applied within its whole area. There is no travel time.

• The effect starts 75 range in front of Monkey King and has an actual length of 1025, adding up to 1100 effective length.
  • With the starting distance, effect length and width, it can hit units up to 1250 range away.
  • It can also hit units 75 range behind Monkey King, due to its radius and starting position.

• Causes Monkey King to perform an instant attack on all hit enemies. The stun is independent from these attacks.
  • These instant attacks can proc any attack modifiers and on-hit effects normally, except cleave. They have True Strike, but completely ignore disarms.
  • Despite the audio effect, Daedalus has still only a chance to proc. Boundless Strike does not guarantee chance-based effects to proc.
  • Boundless Strike has an ensured critical strike, crits with a lower value have no effect if they proc, since the higher crit value takes priority.

• Boundless Strike procs Jingu Mastery, placing the debuff on all hit enemy heroes, or adding to the counter if the target is already debuffed.
  • If Monkey King has the Jingu Mastery attack damage and lifesteal buff, the buff loses a charge whenever Boundless Strike is cast, regardless of whether it hits a unit or not.
  • The bonus attack damage from Jingu Mastery is applied to all hit targets, and it does lifesteal off from each hit target, despite using up only one charge.

• The strike first applies the debuff, then the damage.

• The sound during the cast animation is audible to everyone.

Notes:

• Leveling this ability automatically levels Primal Spring as well.

• Monkey king leaps to the target tree at a speed of 800, reaching the tree within up to 1.13 ( 1.69) seconds.

• Leaps in an arc, with a top height of 192. During the leap, other units may pass below Monkey King.
  • The activity modifier only appears during the leap and is responsible for the leaping animation.

• Although it visually looks like Monkey King is above the ground while perched, he still is considered to be on the ground. The height is part of the animations.

• Tree Dance has several different cooldowns which activate at different times.

• During the leap, Monkey King is disabled, unable to perform any actions. The last given order gets queued up and executed as soon as he lands.

• During the leap and while on a tree, Monkey King gains flying vision, but has his vision reduced to 800/600 ( 1200/900).

• While perched on a tree, Monkey King is hidden from sight. He can only be seen with flying vision.
  • He can also be seen when standing 2 levels of ground higher than the tree Monkey King sits on, allowing wards to spot him when the ward is on an elevated ward spot.
  • However, he cannot be seen when getting hurled in the air by abilities (e.g. Toss). Only standing on high ground grants vision over him.

• While on a tree, Monkey King can perform any action normally, with some of them unperching him, while others do not.

• While on a tree, Tree Dance can be cast again, targeting another nearby tree. All trees within cast range are highlighted with a white glow.

• Monkey King only gets stunned if the tree he leaps towards, or he perches on, gets destroyed. Getting unperched in other ways (e.g. Forced Movement) does not result in a stun.

Notes:

• This ability automatically levels whenever Tree Dance is leveled as well.

• This ability is only active during the cast time of Tree Dance, during the leap from the ground onto a tree and while on a tree.
  • It is inactive while leaping from a tree to another tree, and while on the ground.

• Since Tree Dance disables Monkey King during the leap, casting Primal Spring while leaping to a tree queues up the order, so that it is cast immediately once on the tree.
  • During the leap, Monkey King remembers the last given order and complete it once landing happens.
  • The activity modifier only appears during the leap and is responsible for the leaping animation.

• Leaps towards the target area at a speed of 1300, reaching it in up to 0.77 seconds, based on distance.

• The damage and slow are based on the time spent channeling, meaning their potency increases per each server tick spent channeling, up to 54 times.
  • The damage increases by 2.642/3.962/5.283/6.604 per server tick, starting immediately, reaching 142.6/214/285.3/356.6 damage in 1.6 seconds.
  • The slow increases by 0.4%/0.8%/1.1%/1.5% per server tick, also starting immediately, reaching 20%/40%/60%/80% slow in 1.6 seconds.

• Hitting the same enemy multiple times with Primal Spring refreshes the slow duration, but does not update the slow value based on channel time.

• Primal Spring first applies the damage, then the debuff.

• If Monkey King is affeced by Forced Movement while leaping, all of Primal Spring’s effects will be cancelled completely.

• The visual effects at the target area during the channeling are visible to allies only, but the channeling sound is audible to enemies, even through the Fog of War.

Notes:

• Replaces Primal Spring until the channeling ends.

• Immediately ends the channeling of Primal Spring, causing Monkey King to jump earlier.

• Monkey King is unable to ⇧ Shift-queue this ability.

Notes:

• Each successful attack done on an enemy hero while Monkey King does not have the Jingu Mastery buff active places the debuff on the target hero, or adds one to its counter if the target already has the debuff.
  • Only actual enemy heroes (including clones) can receive the debuff. Illusions and creep-heroes do not count. Attacking ally heroes do not count either.

• The debuff’s duration gets refreshed on each hit. The 4 hits do not all require to happen within 7/8/9/10 seconds.

• Upon hitting the same target 4 times, the debuff on the target disappears and Monkey King receives the attack damage and lifesteal buff.

• A charge gets used upon successfully attacking any unit, including buildings, wards and allied units, always applying the bonus damage.

• Boundless Strike‘s instant attacks procs Jingu Mastery, placing the debuff on all hit enemy heroes, or adding to the counter if the target is already debuffed.
  • If Monkey King has the Jingu Mastery attack damage and lifesteal buff, the buff loses a charge whenever Boundless Strike is cast, regardless of whether it hits a unit or not.
  • The bonus attack damage from Jingu Mastery is applied to all hit targets, and it does lifesteal off from each hit target, despite using up only one charge.

• When leveling up Jingu Mastery while wielding the buff, the attack damage bonus and lifesteal updates after using one charge.

• The lifesteal does not work against buildings and allies, but works against any other unit, including wards.
  • Stacks additively with other sources of lifesteal.

Notes:

• This is an innate ability and does not need to be learned. It is bound to Monkey King himself.

• Interrupts Monkey King’s channeling abilities, move orders and attack orders upon cast.

• When cast, Mischief disguises Monkey King into one of the following items or units:

• Within 350 range of a Courier, it disguises Monkey King into that courier.
• Within 350 range of a rune spot, it disguises Monkey King into a random rune suitable for that rune spot.

• When a tree is within 350 range upon cast, it disguises Monkey King into that tree instead. If multiple trees are within range, a random one of them is chosen.

• Sets Monkey King’s movement speed to an absolute value of 200 or 380 when disguised as a Courier. No other values can change his movement speed, with the exception of hastes.

• Monkey King’s selection box adapts to the disguise models. However, his collision size does not change.

• Monkey King’s minimap icon is hidden to the enemy while disguised. In addition, his over-head health and mana bar is hidden to everyone, including the player.

• All auto-attack settings ignores the Monkey King while in disguise. Lane creeps, neutral creeps, towers and fountains do not automatically attack him.
  • Units of players which have auto attack settings of ◉ Standard or ◎ Always and the ground-attack command do not attack him automatically either, but can be forced to attack him (A).
  • Monkey King is still fully affected by every ability. He can still be targeted normally. Attachable particle effects of abilities still attach to him.

• During the initial 0.2 seconds, Mischief fully negates damage, causing several on-damage effects to not trigger.
  • Damage greater than 0 (after damage reductions) dispels the effect. Does not get dispelled by damage flagged as HP Removal.

• With Aghanim’s Shard, Mischief disjoints projectiles upon cast and it no longer sets his movement speed to an absolute value.
  • Instead, it now raises his minimum movement speed to 200 or 380 when disguised as a Courier.

Notes:

• Replaces Mischief until the sub-ability is used or the disguise ends.

• Interrupts Monkey King’s channeling abilities, move order and attack order upon cast.

Notes:

• Upon cast, 14 ( 21) clones of Monkey King spawn which immediately walk to their determined spot in the formation.

• The clones walk at a speed of 700 and have unobstructed movement, walking through cliffs and trees.

• The formation they take is always the same except when space is limited by the edges of the map.
  • The first ring soldiers form a pentagon within a 300 radius circle, with the tip always facing north.
  • The second ring soldiers form a nonagon within a 750 radius circle, with the tip always facing north as well.
  • The third ring soldiers form a heptagon within a 1100 radius circle, with the tip always facing north as well.

• The soldiers are invulnerable and considered hidden (although visible), making them immune to almost every ability.
  • They are unselectable (by both Monkey King and enemies), uncontrollable, and can neither pick up, nor drop any items.
  • They copy most of Monkey King’s items, and are therefore able to use attack modifiers and bestow auras he had upon cast.

• The soldiers only attack enemy heroes, clones, creep-heroes and illusions they see inside Wukong’s Command.
  • Invisible enemies and enemies inside the Fog of War within the circles are not attacked.
  • Other units and any unit outside the circle are fully ignored, even when within attack range of a soldier.
  • Since the soldiers use regular attacks, their damage is reduced by damage block.

• If Monkey King moves more than 780 ( 1130) range away from the center of the circle, or when he dies, the soldiers disappear and the ability ends.

• Recasting Wukong’s Command while a previous cast is still active immediately ends the previous cast.

• The passive spawns from Aghanim’s Scepter are on a recharge time, not an interval.
  • This means when it finishes recharging, but Monkey King is in a state that doesn’t allow passive spawns, it spawns the soldier as soon as circumstances allow it.
  • Soldiers do not spawn while Monkey King is affected by the Tree Dance bounce leap and bounce perch modifiers, during Mischief, while fully invisible, during certain abilities that cause him to be hidden, or while dead.
  • Unlike soldiers from a regular cast, passively spawned soldiers can attack any unit except Roshan, but require Monkey King to be within 500 range of them to attack buildings.
  • Acquiring the item instantly starts with a charge, so that a soldier spawns instantly.
  • When Monkey King dies, the soldiers immediately disappear.

Notes:

• Talents are fully copied by the Wukong’s Command clones, but none of the current talents have an effect, as they cannot use active abilities and their attack speed is fixed.
