Skitskurr, the Weaver[edit]
The fabric of creation needs constant care, lest it grow tattered; for when it unravels, whole worlds come undone. It is the work of the Weavers to keep the fabric tight, to repair worn spots in the mesh of reality. They also defend from the things that gnaw and lay their eggs in frayed regions, whose young can quickly devour an entire universe if the Weavers let their attention lapse. Skitskurr was a master Weaver, charged with keeping one small patch of creation tightly woven and unfaded. But the job was not enough to satisfy. It nagged him that the original work of creation all lay in the past; the Loom had done its work and travelled on. He wanted to create rather than merely maintain—to weave worlds of his own devising. He began making small changes to his domain, but the thrill of creation proved addictive, and his strokes became bolder, pulling against the pattern that the Loom had woven. The guardians came, with their scissors, and Weaver's world was pared off, snipped from the cosmic tapestry, which they rewove without him in it. Skitskurr found himself alone, apart from his kind, a state that would have been torment for any other Weaver. But Skitskurr rejoiced, for now he was free. Free to create for himself, to begin anew. The raw materials he needed to weave a new reality were all around him. All he had to do was tear apart this old world at the seams.
Abilities[edit]
Weaver launches a swarm of beetles that latch onto any enemy unit in their path, attacking and reducing armor until it is killed.

Skitskurr opens a gap in the space time fabric, allowing young Weavers to slip through and aid him in combat.
Notes
- The swarm travels at a speed of 600.
- Each beetle has 321 flying vision.
- Beetles cannot latch onto invisible units. They will drop off and die if their target becomes invisible.
- Beetles are instantly destroyed by
Chronosphere.
- Beetles do not block neutral creep camps from spawning.
- Beetles are spell immune.
Weaver shifts out of visibility, gaining bonus movement speed and the ability to ignore the movement speed limit --doing harm to any enemies it passes through.

As the Weavers worked in the fabric of creation, small wormholes allowed them to slip through time to better work their craft.
Notes
- Can only damage a unit once per cast.
Allows Weaver to attack an enemy multiple times.
| Second Attacks Bonus Damage | 10 / 25 / 40 / 55 |
|---|
Skitskurr's relationship with time is somewhat variable, causing his actions to be witnessed—and felt—more than once.
Notes
- The extra attacks do not interrupt Weaver.
Weaver warps backward to whatever position it was in five seconds earlier—regaining the HP and mana from that time. This has no effect on cooldowns, gold, or experience.
| Decreases the cooldown and allows allied heroes to be targeted. |
|---|
If Skitskurr does not deem the current reality of the world to fit his desires, he simply crawls back in time to right what was wronged.
Notes
- Disjoints projectiles on cast.
- Will remove debuffs from Weaver, such as the reveal from
Dust of Appearance.
- If Weaver loses hp using this spell (e.g., going back in time to when he had less hp) the loss is considered HP Cost so it does not interact with other mechanics.
Talent Ability[edit]
Attacks burn mana and deal part of the amount as damage. Illusions burn a reduced amount.
| Does not pierce Spell Immunity. |
|---|
| Illusions use this ability at a reduced value. |

Notes
- Stacks additively with other sources of Mana Break.

General Strategy[edit]
Weaver has no trouble evading enemies to position himself for another strike. Slipping in and out of sight, he avoids death by rewinding himself to an earlier position and health state. His arsenal of elusive skills ensures he is always a critical nuisance to his foes.

Early Game
Shukuchi is very strong early in lane to both secure last hits and harass the enemy. It gives weaver a reliable source of damage. In addition, it gives Weaver a much needed boost in mobility. It is recommended to max this ability first as the reduced cooldown allows for faster farming and easier better early game fighting. In general, a weaver should be looking to dominate their lane through harassment with shukuchi and geminate attack. Weaver's kit allows for early kill threat thanks to the swarm. These can be used to dive your enemy under tower.
Thanks to The Swarm, Weaver is especially good in lane against low armor heroes.
Mid Game
Transitioning into mid game, Maelstrom will increase Weaver's farming speed greatly. With high mobility and a self saving ability, Weaver can play aggressively and farm dangerous areas of the map. This aggressive playstyle will take farm from your enemy and force them to adapt. Weaver should be looking to take fights with the team if presented the opportunity.
Late Game
Weaver gets an extreme mobility boost at level 25 with the +160 shukuchi movespeed talent. This allows Weaver to have an even greater aggressive map presence. Satanic is paired with Sange and Yasha due to their status resistance and healing amplification. These two items also increase Weaver's hp pool enough that it will make him near impossible to kill before getting off timelapse. Weaver can play in the opoonents face in teamfights as a result.
