Dark Samurai Spells

very good spell pack!

on the first glance we have three visually stunning spells (the sword spirit spell is kinda lame) that make a good use of the great model. i especially liked the usage of the purple ziggurat missile which gave spells a perfect anime look (think muro hasegawa from ONI).

dark leap is by far the best leap/jump spell i've seen. the only thing i dislike is the fact that he ends the jump in a stand animation for a moment or two which looks out of place. he should either be in stand ready animation (maybe a bit reduced in size (model scaled down for a second) or partly lowered into the ground) or be frozen in one of the final frames of spell slam animation for a short time...

i like the rush, although i don't think it does what is says it does.

the ultimate ability (cross slash) is conceived badly - by the time illusions collide, all the creeps are long gone since the hero is not a valid target for them anymore... my recomendation: leave the hero vulnerable and visible (or transparent if you wish) and give him 200 armor for 2 seconds so that he receives minimal damage while the ilussions do the thingy...

eitherway, great job man!

I think that the crossslash ability would work faster and improve the aoe for damage , because you can hardly damage units , cause they runaway , and the tormented soul should move more times and faster , and not to wait before moving . Anyway , i give you a 5/5 for these spells . They`re very good for a samurai hero (light or dark)

Meh..
I give it a 3/5.
I like Rush & Dark leap.
Needs a little work.

EDIT; I fixed the known issues
-Fixed what BukiBuki said (i just paused and unpaused the unit so he couldnt cast the spell which makes him fly, aka crow form)
-Fixed Rush up a bit so it doesnt effect magic immune,buildings,allies etc
-Made Cross Slash work a little more accurate since the illusions may appear out of place (although this still may happen)
-Added cioby's suggestion of selecting the unit after Cross Slash is finished

Thx guys, i will try to fix anymore of these small issues comments and opinions are welcomed

Heavily bugged man...for e.g. if u cast leap u get an additional ability while u are jumping (i know its there4 that u can change the flying height) and when u activate it ur hero gets reseted (loses all abilitys and goes back on lvl1)...and this is just one of many

sorry..2/5

. Anyway , very good work

This was a wicked hero idea i had to make cause Black_Stan makes awesum animations.

Spells

Dark Leap- Jumps high into the air doing 3 frontflips and slamming the ground releasing dark energy dealing AoE damage

Spirit Blade- Releases a spirit from your sword that tracks down enemy units. Last approxiametly 10 seconds

Rush- Has a chance to relentlessly attack the targeted unit dealing 3X the damage. (passive)

Cross Slash- Creates 4 Illusions that will attack in an X pattern toward the caster dealing massive damage to units in the way

I loved making these spells cause they're so fun to use. I hope you enjoy them. Thx goes to Black_Stan, JetfangInferno, and Mc ! for their resources.
