A riddler, a sage, and a lover of sweets, Zephyr sadly is known in these times simply as a warrior of the winds. Though he chose not to participate in the Beast Horde's war with the humans, he has joined battle against the Hellbourne, and the powerful winds and aerial attacks he calls down upon the daemons are a welcome addition to the new Legion.
Zephyr's damage output comes entirely through his maintenance of Cyclones, so Zephyr's sole imperative throughout much of the game is to build as much survivability as possible through farming. In a team fight, his Gust and Typhoon can disrupt an entire team.
Abilities[ | ]

[ Q ]
Cast Time: 0 / 0.5 seconds
Target Vector

Enemies are immobilized while being pushed.
Cyclones
[ W ]
Cast Time: 0 / 0 seconds

Zephyr spawns a small Cyclone on every kill he makes. Spawned Cyclones automatically patrol around Zephyr and damage enemies they touch. Zephyr can, on command, consume a Cyclone to heal himself.
Consumes one cyclone, restoring 20 Health.
On Kill Spawns a Cyclone which lasts 40 seconds and deals 9 Magic Damage per second to enemy units it touches.
When the Cyclone is consumed it heals Zephyr for 20 Health. Heals for the same amount when a Cyclone expires.
Cyclones are also spawned once every 20 (4) seconds.
Can have a maximum of 2/4/6/8(6/8/10/12) cyclones active at any one time.

Damage from each individual Cyclones stacks with other Cyclones.
Cyclones wander around within 250 units of Zephyr.
Cyclones have 522 Movement Speed and deal damage in a 300 radius around it.
If Zephyr gets more than 2000 units from a Cyclone in a single frame (i.e. Teleports), the Cyclone will teleport to Zephyr.
Wind Shield
[ E ]
Passive
Zephyr uses his control of the wind to create a rushing barrier around himself, granting him Evasion.
Passively grants 10 deflection against non-hero unit and 15/25/35/45% Evasion.
If the attacker is within 250 radius when the attack hits Zephyr, Wind Shield will not grant Evasion against that attack instance.
Quick as the wind!
Notes
This ability contains Evasion properties. Evasion properties do not stack. Instead, you will automatically use the Evasion from the item or ability that grants you the highest chance to evade.
The Evasion mechanic from this ability only functions against ranged attackers so melee units don't miss their attack if they attack at the edge of Zephyr hitbox and he is currently moving away from an enemy melee unit.
Typhoon
[ R ]
Cast Time: 0.3 / 0.7 seconds
Target Position
Enemy Units
Type - Superior Magic
Zephyr creates a mighty Typhoon, slowing Movement Speed and dealing damage to any units near it. The closer an enemy is to the center of the Typhoon, the higher the damage and speed reduction becomes. Grants 600 day and night clearvision while active.
Spawns a Typhoon at the target location, Grants Zephyr 1 Cyclone per second while Typhoon is active and applies Harsh Winds to enemies who remain in a 550 (825) radius.
Charges are based on the distance an enemy is from the center of the Typhoon. The closer they are, the more charges are applied.
Enemies who are within 60 units of the center are snared to minimum Movement Speed and take maximum damage regardless of charges.
The Typhoon lasts 6/8/10(8/10/12) seconds.
