Clockwerk stats, abilities and strategy [7.41a]

Launches himself into enemies with his hookshot

Launching himself into enemies with his grappling hookshot, Clockwerk isolates targets and blasts them apart with disorienting shrapnel. As he scouts the battlefield with his handy flares, he never has trouble finding targets to send himself toward.

Patch 7.41

  • Mana Cost decreased from 90 to 75/80/85/90

Some of Rattletrap's contraptions don't quite work correctly, so detonating them proves useful as an offensive maneuver.

W

Power Cogs

DAMAGE TYPE: Magical

PIERCES DEBUFF IMMUNITY: Yes

PASSIVE: No


Forms a ring of energized cogs around Clockwerk, trapping any units that are near. Enemies outside the trap that touch a cog are knocked back, losing health and mana. Once a cog has delivered a shock, it will power down. Damage is increased by 50% of the mana burned.

Cogs can be destroyed by enemy attacks, but Clockwerk can push them up to 1000 distance away with one hit. Clockwerk can move through the cogs freely, disabling them as he passes over.


Cogs can shock invisible units.

  • Mana Cost rescaled from 70 to 60/65/70/75
  • Mana Burn increased from 35/70/105/140 to 35/75/115/155

One of Clockwerk's inventions of which he is most proud is the power cog - though it is sometimes despised by his allies.

Hookshot

DAMAGE TYPE: Magical

PIERCES DEBUFF IMMUNITY: Yes

Hookshot will latch and take Clockwerk to allies, but not damage or disable them.

A somewhat unwieldy device, the Hookshot sends the otherwise clunky Clockwerk armor flying through the air.

Jetpack

Sure it's blown up over fourteen testing dummies, but at least they all flew!

Patch 7.41

  • Duration increased from 13s to 18s
  • Now also increases Battery Assault radius to 330
  • Now also increases Power Cogs radius to 330 and provides 25% bonus armor to Clockwerk while he is near cogs
  • No longer increases Clockwerk's attack speed while inside Power Cogs
  • Now increases Rocket Flare damage, vision and slow duration by 35%

Rattletrap understands the limitations of his armor. Just as he understands the risks of pushing past them in times of need.

Strategy

Have creep equilibrium close to your tower so you can run the opponents down for a while until they reach their tower.

Play in tree lines and prey on isolated heroes as Battery Assault does all the damage to the single hero.

With the Expanded Armature facet, if an opponent is trying to escape your Power Cogs, look to kick Cogs onto them to burn their mana and do damage.

Use Rocket Flare off cooldown to scout around the map and push out dangerous lanes.

In the teamfights, look to split opponents' team into two parts by placing Cogs between their heroes.

Clockwerk is good at controlling debuff immune heroes as Hookshot stun pierces debuff immunity and Power Cogs act as barrier.

With the Hookup facet, as position 4, you can take Power Cogs on level 1 to block your first creep wave inside them to bring the lane creeps closer to your tower.

Even if you do not catch any enemy heroes inside Power Cogs, you can still kick Cogs onto enemy heroes to burn their and do damage.

Counter Strategy

Bring an Observer Ward to the lane to keep an eye on Clockwerk's aggressive movements.

Battery assault does a lot of damage. Keep distance from Clockwerk or share damage with allied units.

If you get trapped in Power Cogs, don't panic. It takes two hits to destroy a Cog.

Clockwerk has a great solo kill potential in early to mid game. Keep track of his movements.

Force Staff is great at moving you or an ally out of Power Cogs and out of Battery Assault range.

Clockwerk is great at contesting you at Roshan. Block his Hookshot path when you are about to finish Roshan.
