Well it is all in the title, I have ran out of idea's for abilitys for one of my heros from my map. So I thought I would ask for some ideas from thehelper.

Ok info on my hero.

Model: Demon Hunter
Race: Shadow Stalker
Name: Saron ShadowStorm

Defining Ability (AKA Ultimate): Shadow Form.
Passive, makes the hero completly invisable to all unit's.

Ability 1: Shadow Orb.
Cast Point, creates a shadow orb at the target point, if this orb is attacked it becomes unstable and damages all enemy units in a range of 500+(100xLevel of ability) and does (.5xLevel of ability)xHero's Agi.

Ability 2: Shadow Storm.
Cast, Summons souls from the shadow realm into him self which transforms the Shadow Stalkers body and enables the souls to exist in this realm for short periods of time. (Locust Swarm)

Ability 3: Tainted Blade.
Passive, The Shadow Stalker bath's his weapon in his own blood the poison the attacked enemy, when the shadow stalker attacks he has a chance to do (.2xLevel of ability)xHero's Agi
(Thanks to Nerfpl for the ability idea)

Ability 4: Need One Still.

I am in need of 1 abilitys and if you can't tell from the mentioned ones they need to be shadow or darkness based abilitys. +Rep for any good idea's.

Shadow blink
Blinks at target location unnoticed leaving a copy behind for 5 seconds. The copy will take normal amount of damage, but will deal 25%.
Don't use any special effects as this is supposed to be an "invisible" blink.
Shadow backstab - passive (I made this spell once, it's one of my favorites)
Has a chance to dodge an attack, blink behind the attacker dealing a critical hit + 0.5/0.8/1.0/1.2x of agility in damage. There is also a 0.5 sec ministun. Can only use this when Shadow Stalker is facing it's attacker. Only works if the attacker is a hero.
Shadow fury (could be an ultimate)
When activated, the next 5/6/7/8 attacks against Shadow Stalker will be Shadow-backstabed. Lasts 15 seconds.

ofc you can change the spell names xD
I gave them all the "Shadow" word since your other spells have it too :p

name: demon edge
desc: any damage caused by shadow stalker have chance to cause adnitional damage. lke +60+120 etc.
orb of lighting with searing arrow on hit with chance to hit, but will work for malee hits only (make it something like gemnite attack from dota but instead of cooldown, give % to hit)
or
trigger whole thing (really easy) and then it will synenergy with any other damage coming from him

//off: Actually funny thing. few months ago i started map where main hero was "shadow stalker", and his second skill was also locust swarm ;p but that was flying swords instead of souls ^^

This is a nice ability (I might use it for one of my other hero's), however the shadow stalker is invisable at all times, so this wont realy work for him.

Code:
Shadow backstab - passive (I made this spell once, it's one of my favorites)
Has a chance to dodge an attack, blink behind the attacker dealing a critical hit + 0.5/0.8/1.0/1.2x of agility in damage. There is also a 0.5 sec ministun. Can only use this when Shadow Stalker is facing it's attacker. Only works if the attacker is a hero.
Another Nice Ability and another I might use for another hero, but there is only 2 hero in the map that are able to see the shadow stalker with out useing an item.

Code:
Shadow fury (could be an ultimate)
When activated, the next 5/6/7/8 attacks against Shadow Stalker will be Shadow-backstabed. Lasts 15 seconds.
This one is a great one also, but the main thing about the shadow stalker is that he is an ambush hero, But I can use this ability for one of my brawlers.

:)

Thanks for the ability idea's man, if you got anymore feel free to post, + rep.

I like this idea and it will go well with him, but I will need to make a few changes to it, I will need to change the +60+120 etc (the problim with flat damage is that it becomes useless later in game so I will need to trigger it to be ether a % of the attack or based on one of the stats), So this will be a triggered spell :D

Wow that is prety strange lol. You should see the lucust swarm the way I got it set up, if your on the other team they just appear out of no where sence you can't actualy see the shadow stalker lol.

Opps double post sorry about that, should have hit edit.

ok since he's an ambush hero these abilities could fit him:
Nether trap
Places an invisible trap at target location. Any enemy unit that crosses it will get stunned for x seconds and several copies of Shadow Stalker will be created around him and will start to attack him if he moves. These copies deal 50% and take 200% more damage. Shadow Stalker can switch his position with one of the copies. If he moves before the enemy unit moves the copies will vanish. Otherwise, copy's duration is 15 seconds. Enemy unit will also have reduced armor for short period of time.

Disc of death
Throws a disc in front of the Shadow Stalker that deals damage to any enemy unit it hits and maims him (slow). The disc will deal more damage if the enemy unit has lower hp. For every 1% of missing hp it will deal 3/5/7/9 damage. It also destroys trees. Disc's speed increases per level (its actually the Spell Breaker's missile).

Ambush of the dead
Instantly raises every dead non-hero unit at target location for 10 seconds. The units will deal 150%/200%/250%/300% of normal damage and have as same more hp. Enemy heroes caught within the targeted area will get slowed by 30%/35%/40%/45% and will have their armor reduced.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
