Preface:

Akama is a former priest, now a shaman, ruler of the Ashtongue tribe and leader of the Ashtongue Deathsworn who lead the struggle for survival against the demonic hordes and their minions of Outland under the command of Magtheridon. Illidan helped the draenei defeat the orcs, after which the combined army of Illidan and Akama destroyed Magtheridon’s Hellfire Citadel and put an end to the destruction of the Draenei in Outland. Also in due time Akama helped Illidan to seize the Black Temple, in which, in fact, Illidan himself now sits. Only to later, Akama find that Illidan was no better than the pit lord.

Allying with Maiev Shadowsong, whom he had been charged with keeping imprisoned, Akama rallied a group of adventurers to enter the Black Temple, leading up to the final battle with Illidan. With Illidan gone, Akama hopes that the Holy Light will fill the dismal halls of the Temple once more.

Akama plays an important role in the history of the formation of the World of Warcraft. Video with him can be viewed on YouTube:

Resources:

Health - 2246 basically hit points.
Mana - 447 basically hit points.

Basic damage from auto attack - 155 units every 1.4 seconds.


\\ Abilities:

[Q] – «Combat Inertia» - Having made 12 melee attacks, it becomes possible to apply the ability once within the next 4 seconds to jump to the target enemy within a one and a half second and inflict a dissecting strike in the amount of 135% of the basic damage. The target should be no closer than 2 meters and no further than 5 meters. If the target is in the range of up to 3.5 meters, then after applying [Q] he will be stunned for 1.25 seconds. The ability cannot be applied in the state of slowing down or immobilization. Requires 35 mana.

  • If, before activating, Akama does not make attacks for 2 seconds, then the accumulated effects of (Q) begin to disappear with a speed of 1 effect every 0.5 seconds. If, after activation, the ability [Q] was not applied for 4 seconds, then the activation is canceled, and the accumulated effects begin to disappear at the same speed.

  • The jump animation is not instantaneous, and takes from 0.5 to 1.5 seconds depending on the distance.

  • The use of the ability consumes the accumulated 12 effects.

[W] – «Waving Blades» - Deals 60% of base damage to all enemies in the selected side within a radius of 2 meters. Gives 1 effect of (Q) for each affected enemy hero. If the ability [Q] was applied to the target, then the hit on this target with the ability [W] within the next 5.5 seconds will restore 2% of the maximum health of this target. Requires 10 mana. Cooldown 1.5 seconds.

  • Ability can be applied while in motion. And if the ability is applied in the direction opposite to the movement of Akama, then, from the point of view of animation, Akama will make this strike with a turn.

  • The ability’s animation looks like this: each time you press [W] Akama swings right, and then left blade, then right-bottom up-left, then left to right, then left-from top to bottom-right, then right-to-left , then top-right down-left, then left-bottom right-up. That is, each press produces one “unique” strike.

[E] - «Unbroken Spirit» - Gives unstoppable for 1.5 seconds and increases movement speed by 12% for 4 seconds. Requires 25 mana. Cooldown 16 seconds.

[D] (passive) – «Chieftain Power» - Gives 3 units of armor for each enemy hero, located near Akama.

[R1] – «Power of Ancestors» - Clears the cooldown time of all abilities, including skulls. Increases damage from auto attacks by 10% and increases damage from «Waving blades» [W] to 110% for 4 seconds. Requires 60 mana. Cooldown 70 seconds.

[R2] – «Cascade Flash» - After application, after 1.5 seconds deals 216 points of damage to the chosen enemy, the next 2 closest to 108 damage, and the next 4 closest to 54 damage. The radius of spreading of one branch is not more than 4 meters. Cannot be applied to buildings. If the ability is applied during an action of (E), then it first begins to hit enemy heroes in a subsequent cascade. Application radius 4.4 meters. Requires 65 mana. Cooldown 35 seconds.

  • The numbers are ready. In fact, the next 2 opponents take 1/2 damage, and the next 4 take 1/4 damage, respectively.

  • One spread only works within 4 meters. That is, if there is no one more opponent in the area 1/2 next, then the chain is thrown further, into the area 1/4, and hits the opponents there. This is cascade meaning.

  • The radius of spreading is measured from the current target. That is, for example, if opponents stand evenly within a radius of 12 meters, then the extreme opponent will also fall under the effect of the ability and take 1/4 damage (54 units at level 10, and approximately 80 units at level 20).

  • Visually, the ability looks like a discharge of blurred transparent lightning, gently bending the texture of space. The charge is calculated by an instant flash from Akama along all the targets along the chain, reaching the last target, and then, after application, the entire branch freezes for a moment, and then completely dissipates within one second, following the movements of the affected targets a little, dissolving by inertia of their movements.

  • An additional feature of the ability is that the enemy takes damage for a two seconds to reveal his location, and this means that by launching a cascade lightning in the forest, all enemies within a radius of 12 meters will be detected, are from each other within 4 meters at chain. The ability does not affect heroes who are invisible or stasis. Opponents under the effect of invulnerability will not take damage, but will be the target for spreading cascade.

Akama’s official phrases from Warcraft 3:

  1. Trust me!
  2. To battle!! And do not hold me!
  3. I’m on the road.
  4. Let it be so.
  5. For Draenor!
