Kez slashes forward in a line with his Katana, attacking enemies in an area and applying a brief slow. After a short delay, the area is attacked again. Heroes take bonus damage.

Kez swings on a grappling hook towards the target unit or tree. When the grappling hook collides with the target, that unit has slowed movement speed until Kez arrives. Upon landing, he attacks with bonus lifesteal.

Katana attacks and abilities apply a stacking damage over time to enemies that deals a percentage of the original attack's damage as additional damage over time. Affected enemies have non-stacking reduced health regeneration.

Kez switches between his Kazurai Katana and Shodo Sai.

He gains different attack capabilities and abilities based on the weapon equipped. The abilities level up together, and when an ability is used, the associated alternate weapon ability also goes on cooldown.

Switch Discipline cooldown decreases by 0.2s per Hero level.

Kez enters into an uncontrollable channel for 1 second, becoming invulnerable for 0.2s and receiving a basic dispel, remaining immune to magic damage for the remainder of the channel and the duration of the slashes. If the channel completes successfully, Kez performs a series of deadly radial slashes around him that deal damage based on the max health of the target and heal Kez for a percentage of all damage dealt.

Kez gains the ability to rush towards enemy targets to deliver echoing secondary attacks. While in this state, Kez has phased collision and an attack rate that is less affected by attack speed.

Kez throws a Sai at the target unit. The Sai detonates when it hits, dealing damage and applying silence to all enemies in the area.

Kez's attacks and abilities with the Sai have a chance to Mark enemies. The next attack or ability damage from Kez gains True Strike and will stun the enemy and deal a critical strike, consuming the buff.

Kez may activate the ability to disarm himself, lock his facing, and parry attacks and attack effects from the targeted direction for 2 seconds. If an attack is parried from an enemy Hero in this way, that Hero is stunned and Marked, taking additional critical strike and stun when the debuff is triggered.

The sub-ability may be used to cancel the blocking early.

Kez releases a wave of smoke that applies his Mark to nearby enemies, briefly reducing their vision. Kez receives a basic dispel and gains bonus movement speed and invisibility until he attacks or casts a spell.
