Hoodwink Mobile Legends Hero Guide
- Role: Support, Nuker, Disabler, Escape
# Hoodwink A cunning forest dweller and skilled survivor, Hoodwink is a resourceful agent of nature's resistance against encroaching civilization. Hoodwink's childhood unfolded across the lush borderlands of Krimwohl, a realm where verdant forests once stretched uninterrupted. As the kingdom expanded to fuel its ambitions, competing ore and timber magnates engaged in ruthless exploitation of the frontier woodlands, stripping the landscape bare to satisfy the kingdom's insatiable hunger for resources. When faced with Krimwohl's relentless expansion, the forest's indigenous inhabitants confronted an impossible choice: abandon their homes for designated settlements, resist the kingdom's military forces and perish, or venture into the mysterious northern reaches of Wood Tomo'kan—a region shrouded in mist and haunted by unknowable horrors. Hoodwink chose the third path, adapting to survive among the Tomo'kan's perilous terrain and monstrous fauna. There, she cultivated a complex existence—forming loose alliances with local bandit factions while maintaining her independence, and developing a reputation for appearing whenever chaos erupted, though whether as participant or innocent bystander remained deliberately ambiguous. When the acrid smoke of Krimwohl's conquest finally reached her sanctuary, Hoodwink's thoughts turned toward the fate of loved ones left behind in the devastated lands. Driven by this concern, she ventured toward civilization's edge to confront the force responsible for her displacement. Her investigation revealed an unsettling truth: the invaders were neither mythical monsters nor supernatural threats, but ordinary people—soldiers, merchants, laborers, and displaced refugees alike. This realization shifted her perspective; the true monsters were the denizens of Tomo'kan itself—creatures with tentacles and fangs that Hoodwink navigated with remarkable grace. Now, leveraging her unparalleled mastery of the Tomo'kan's treacherous terrain, Hoodwink operates as both protector and saboteur. She strikes against those seeking to further civilize the wilderness, claims what resources she deems valuable, and guides fellow survivors toward a restored life among the ancient forests.
Hoodwink Skills
- Acorn Shot (Passive): Fires Hoodwink's attack with an acorn at the target unit. The acorn bounces to nearby targets, slowing them and dealing a percentage of Hoodwink's attack with bonus damage. If point targeted, a tree is created at the target position and the acorn will bounce to nearby targets. The ability may be placed on alt-cast to force this behavior.
- Bushwhack (Passive): Tosses a net trap that stuns enemies if they are near a tree in the area. Affected enemies take damage over time and are pulled towards the tree nearest to them within the target area, and have their vision reduced to 0 for the duration of the stun.
- Scurry: Hoodwink gains bonus movement speed, phased movement, and tree-walking for a brief time. While active, the redirect chance of Mistwoods Wayfarer is multiplied by %evasion_multiplier%.
- Decoy: Hoodwink turns invisible, increasing her movement speed, and creates a decoy illusion that starts aiming a decreased damage Sharpshooter at the nearest enemy hero. If the illusion is attacked or hit by a targeted ability, it is destroyed and it throws a lesser bushwhack towards the enemy.
- Hunter's Boomerang (Passive): Tosses a boomerang in an arc. Upon contact, it returns to Hoodwink. The boomerang will deal damage as it passes through or hits enemies, and apply a debuff that causes affected enemies to be slowed and be more vulnerable to spell damage.
- Sharpshooter (Passive): Hoodwink charges up and fires a deadly bolt from her crossbow, dealing heavy damage, break and slow to an enemy Hero. The damage and debuff duration scale up to max after %max_charge_time% seconds, and the bolt is fired automatically after %misfire_time% seconds. Hoodwink is knocked backwards for a distance of %recoil_distance% from the force of the shot. Creeps hit by the bolt are damaged for half the values.
- Mistwoods Wayfarer: Hoodwink has a chance to redirect enemy attacks to a nearby tree.
