The dark mist slows enemies in the area by 40% and grants Hanzo 20% Movement Speed.

Kinjutsu: Pinnacle Ninja
MorphMobilityHanzo charges into battle as Hanekage, consuming 170 Energy per second. He gains 20 Energy when a non-hero unit dies nearby and 200 Energy when it's a hero. He gains 15 Energy when attacking a hero, and 45 Energy when attacking the Turtle or the Lord. When Energy runs out, Hanzo's body will be slowly drawn to Hanekage's position.
While in Hanekage form, Hanzo's body is invincible, while Hanekage ignores obstacles and gains 50% Movement Speed and 30% Attack Speed.
Use Again or Upon Death: Hanekage returns to Hanzo's body, recovering 16% HP and becoming untargetable during the return. If Hanekage is killed, Hanzo will be slowed by 50% and revealed for 6s, and the skill's cooldown will be doubled.

This damage is considered Basic Attack Damage, but cannot Crit.

Ninjutsu Flee: Return
Hanekage returns to Hanzo's body and exits the Hanekage form.
Synergizes With
Hanzo has high burst potential but needs time to stack his Passive, so he works best with heroes who can keep the enemy CC'd, like Aurora, Belerick, and Tigreal.
Strong Against
Hanzo's Ultimate enables him to poke or dive with relative safety, making him a serious threat to squishy heroes without mobility, like Layla, Ixia, and Zhuxin, while also disrupting the enemy in teamfights.
Weak Against
Hanzo fares less favorably against heroes with lots of mobility, such as Fanny, Lancelot, and Arlott, since it's difficult to build stacks on them, thus limiting Hanzo's damage.
