- Shackleshot always prioritizes units over trees as a secondary target.
- If the target does not get shackled, it is only briefly stunned Stun is a status effect that prevents active actions like moving, turning, using spells or items, but does not prevent passive abilities, such as evasion and Damage Block. Stuns also interrupt spell casts, channeling spells (using the default Stunned debuff).
- If the target gets shackled to a unit, both of them are stunned for the full duration (using the Shackle Shot debuff).
- The stun persists, even when the primary or the secondary unit dies, or the tree is destroyed earlier.
- The stun also persists, when one of the targets gets freed from the stun earlier.
- When the primary target dies before the shackle reaches it, it still can latch to a secondary unit and stun it.

Notes:
- Windrun interrupts Windranger`s channeling Warlock channeling Upheaval Channeling an ability causes the caster to stop acting for the duration of the spell. Channeled spells may be ended when the channeling unit takes another action or is interrupted by another spells upon cast.
- Grants Windranger 100% evasion for its duration. This means attacks with True Strike are not avoided.

- When the level 20 talent is chosen, Windrun turns Windranger invisible for its duration.
- During the fade time, Windranger can cast spells, use items and perform attacks without breaking the invisibility.

- Allows Windranger to path through other units, including wards, but not through buildings.
- Windranger can pick up or drop items without breaking the invisibility.
Target Unit
Self
Notes:
- Focus Fire orders Windranger to attack the target upon cast.
- Only reduces Windranger`s main and bonus damage when attacking the target. Damage from item effects (e.g. Monkey King Bar, Diffusal Blade) is unaffected.
- Focus Fire does not guarantee full attack speed. The provided attack speed can be negated by strong attack speed slows.
- Windranger can switch attack targets without losing the buff against the Focus Fire target.
- When switching attack targets, the attack speed adapts as soon as the projectile is launched, while the damage adapts after the projectile hits.
- This means when the attack target is switched, the first attack against the new target deals reduced damage. The following attacks deal normal damage.
- This also goes the other way. When switching back to the Focus Fire target, the first attack deals normal damage, the following attacks reduced damage.
- Casting Focus Fire on multiple targets only grants the attack speed and damage reduction against the target of the most recent cast.
- Focus Fire ends prematurely when Windranger dies, but persists through the target`s death.
- Can be cast on any enemy unit, including buildings, excluding wards, invulnerable or hidden units.
- Focus Fire cast range is relative to Windranger`s attack range and is increased with attack range increasing effects.

Info
Lyralei the Windranger is a ranged Attack range is the range at which a hero may perform his or her basic attack on another unit. There are two main subdivisions of attacks: melee and ranged.

Windranger is most often played as an offlane solo due to her escape, long range harass, and farm capability; be that as it may, she is quite versatile and can be fielded as a midlaner, roamer, lane support, or even a carry, if the game calls for it. She is famous for her immense utility and versatility.

Recommended items
Starting items:
- Consumables are essential early game due to Windranger`s low health and the low cooldown of her spells. As such, one each of Tango and Healing Salve are basic requirements, while a Clarity or two are very helpful in giving her mana to cast her spells.
- Grabbing a Mantle of Intelligence provides Windranger with a larger mana pool and some more base damage, and can be upgraded to a Null Talisman. Filling the remainder of your inventory with Iron Branches serves to give you a small amount of stats for cheap, and they can be used to build a Magic Wand later as needed.
Early game:
- Boots of Speed are essential on any hero during the laning stage. In Windranger`s case, having early boots as an off-laner greatly increases survivability as it enables her to evade ganks more easily, and increases the bonus movement speed gained from Windrun as well.
- Null Talisman gives Windranger useful stats for a cheap price. The intelligence gives her more base damage and a larger mana pool, while the strength gives her some survivability. The Null Talisman should be sold later on for more inventory slots, as it does not build into any useful items for Windranger.
- Ring of Basilius gives Windranger more armor, some damage and a measure of mana regen, all of which help her survive as an off-laner. Be that as it may, it should either be disassembled or sold once the laning phase ends, as Windranger can get more mana regen from the Sage`s Mask alone later on due to being an intelligence hero, and Ring of Basilius does not build into any useful items.
Core items:
- Phase Boots are very powerful on Windranger, as she can take advantage of the extra damage more than additional attack speed due to her low base attack time and her ultimate Focus Fire. As well, the active greatly helps Windranger with positioning, essential for landing Powershot and Shackleshot.
- Force Staff is very effective and versatile for positioning a Shackleshot, allowing you to force a unit in front of a tree, force a creep/unit in front of another unit, or force yourself into position. The additional intelligence gives her more mana and base damage as well, and in emergencies it can be used to displace yourself during escapes.
- Town Portal Scroll should be carried on all heroes. Windranger`s ability to disable and nuke down enemies should never be underestimated in teamfights or ganks.
- Blink Dagger is extremely powerful on Windranger, as it allows her to instantly re-position for her spells, especially Shackleshot. It is a powerful item to buy for initiating for your disables, or for being more evasive. May not give the extra stats provided by Force Staff but allows for faster, further, and Windrun can be activated to avoid physical damage, thus providing more opportunities to blink away from unfavorable situations.
- Aghanim`s Scepter gives Windranger stats across the board, and greatly improves Windranger`s damage output using Focus Fire. As well, the cooldown reduction allows her to cast Focus Fire at will, vastly increasing her damage output and target flexibility.
Situational items:
- Desolator gives Windranger additional damage output, as well as an armor reduction debuff that can be applied to buildings as well as heroes. As Windranger is a ranged hero, she can simply "tag" multiple enemies with the debuff prior to focusing on a single target, though it is recommended to purchase Aghanim`s Scepter as well in order to maximize your physical DPS.
- Mekansm can be very powerful on a support Windranger, as it gives her stats and armor, increasing her survivability and allowing her to heal her team during teamfights.
- Scythe of Vyse is very powerful on Windranger, no matter how she is played. The extra intelligence and mana regen greatly increase her base damage and ability to cast spells, and the additional strength and agility shore up her @@@#@@@HP(hp.com)###@### and armor, granting her much more survivability. The hex can be used to instantly hard-disable the enemy`s carry in a fight, and serves as a potent complement to Shackleshot.
- Orchid Malevolence can greatly increase Windranger`s physical damage output, as she will get both more mana and base damage from the extra intelligence, and the attack speed greatly complements her low base attack time. The silence adds yet another disable to Windranger`s repertoire, allowing her to lock down enemies who rely on escape spells to survive. Later can be upgraded to a Bloodthorn.
- Rod of Atos greatly increases Windranger`s survivability as well as her damage output and mana pool. While the slow is not a hard disable, it has a very long cast range and can hold a target down so that Shackleshot may be cast from an angle of Windranger`s choosing.
- Shiva`s Guard greatly augments Windranger`s survivability against physical damage, and gives her more damage output and mana as well. The active blast can be used when chasing down an enemy with Windrun, slowing them down long enough for teammates to catch up and for Windranger to stun them with Shackleshot.
- Linken`s Sphere gives Windranger stats across the board and powerful mana regen. Its spellblock helps to make Windranger much more slippery when evading enemy ganks, or gives her a larger window of opportunity to cast her disables in a teamfight without being disabled herself.
- Eul`s Scepter of Divinity is a good cheap utility item if the aim is not to build raw damage items to fuel Focus Fire. The increased base movement speed greatly augments Windranger`s mobility in combination with Phase Boots or Windrun, and the extra intelligence and mana regen give her much more utility with her spells. The active can be used to stop an enemy in their tracks and position yourself for landing a full-duration Shackleshot, or for generally disabling enemies or giving yourself temporary invulnerability (while removing debuffs from yourself) during fights.
- Monkey King Bar greatly increases Windranger`s damage output, and synergizes well with Focus Fire. The Mini-Bash can proc multiple times during the course of her ultimate, and the True Strike allows her to ignore any evasion or blind that the enemy may have.
- If playing as a support, be sure to buy the standard support items. This means upgrading to the Flying Courier, as well as regularly purchasing Observer Wards and Sentry Wards.
- As a mid or off-laner, a Bottle is generally recommended. A mid Windranger can take advantage of the regen and runes when rotating to the side lanes for kills, while an off-laning Windranger can use the runes as a source of regen to lend her more survivability.
