Windranger sets up kills with Shackleshot, which stuns two lined-up enemies or one against a tree, then finishes with Powershot and Focus Fire. Windrun adds evasion against physical attacks, so attacks that pierce evasion keep her killable. Shackleshot can be disjointed, and spell immunity blocks it along with Powershot and Gale Force, but not Focus Fire.
Counter items
Monkey King BarPierce chance cuts through the evasion that Windrun adds.
BloodthornSilences her and grants True Strike so attacks cannot miss during Windrun.
Black King BarBlocks Shackleshot, Powershot and Gale Force, though Focus Fire pierces it.
