Abilities
Basic Attack

Arrowstorm
ActiveActive Ability. Spitfire releases a flaming projectile in every direction around him. The ability also grants a powerful Attack Speed bonus. At Level 3, Arrowstorm additionally grants Attack Speed to nearby allies. This makes the ability useful both for personal damage and for supporting teammates during fights. Arrowstorm can also help clear bushes faster by hitting multiple targets simultaneously.
Fireball
ActiveActive Ability. Spitfire launches a Fireball that explodes on impact, dealing Magic Damage in an area. Excellent for clearing bushes, farming groups of targets, and damaging multiple enemies. At Level 3, Fireball becomes significantly stronger and launches Fireballs in multiple directions at once, allowing Spitfire to clear large portions of the battlefield extremely quickly.
Super Spell
Super Spell
Infernal Barrage. Unlocked when Spitfire reaches Hero Power 9. Once unlocked, reaching Level 10 during a match upgrades Arrowstorm even further. While Arrowstorm is active, Spitfire continuously fires arrows in all directions around him. This transforms him into a devastating area-damage machine capable of controlling large sections of the battlefield.
