Rapid-recharge marksman whose skills trigger a piercing follow-up attack
MarksmanGold LaneDeals physical
Clint turns every skill into free damage — Double Shot makes his next Basic Attack pierce a whole line for bonus damage after any skill cast, rewarding aggressive skill usage rather than pure auto-attacking. Grenade Bombardment recharges independently of his other cooldowns and stacks up to five uses, giving him burst AoE damage available far more often than a typical marksman ultimate.

The core skill-into-Double-Shot loop is simple to execute, though managing Grenade Bombardment's charge stacks and landing Trapping Recoil's immobilize at the right range takes some practice.

Strengths
Double Shot triggers off every skill cast, so his damage output scales with skill usage rather than just item stats
Grenade Bombardment recharges independently and stacks up to five uses, giving him far more available burst than most marksman ultimates
Trapping Recoil is both a mobility skill and hard CC, letting him create space and immobilize a chaser in the same cast
Trapping Recoil's backward hop is a small, short-range escape — not enough to answer a committed dive by itself
Very low base durability with no shield or sustain skill in his own kit
Enemies hit by multiple Quick Draw bullets take reduced damage after the first, capping its value against a single target
Grenade Bombardment's stacked charges can be baited out and wasted if used carelessly on minions or at bad angles
Skills
Max Quick Draw first for damage and Double Shot uptime, level Trapping Recoil for the CC and mobility, and take Grenade Bombardment at every level it's available.
Passive
Double Shot
Burst
After each skill cast, Clint's next Basic Attack within 4 seconds penetrates a line of enemies, dealing 150 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage. This damage can trigger attack effects, and the part affected by Physical Attack can critically strike.

Default gold-lane build for maximizing Double Shot procs and Grenade Bombardment uptime.
The 'Flicker combo' — blinking in right as a hook or stun lands, or blinking out the instant an enemy ultimate is cast — is the single most common high-elo outplay moment in the game.
Swap in when needed
Windtalker — Against poke-heavy lanes, for the 20% Movement Speed to walk out of skillshots and Typhoon's three-target proc on the wave.
Wind of Nature — Against enemy marksmen or physical divers focusing him.
Purify does not clear suppression (e.g. Franco's Bloody Hunt or Khufra's ultimate) — a common mistake is trusting it to escape a hook combo it can't actually cleanse.
Swap in when needed
Wind of Nature — Two full seconds of physical damage immunity to survive the dive this build is aimed at.
Demon Hunter Sword — Once safely ahead, swap in for 8% of the target's current HP on every basic attack against high-HP targets.
Haas' Claws — Sustain against extended skirmishes.
Clint Anti-Dive build: Tough Boots, then Berserker's Fury, then Malefic Roar, then Queen's Wings.
Weave a skill cast before every important Basic Attack to trigger Double Shot's piercing bonus damage
2
Save at least one Grenade Bombardment charge for finishing a fleeing low-HP target rather than spending all five in the opening trade
3
Use Trapping Recoil's backward hop defensively when an enemy dashes in, immobilizing them as you create distance
4
Land Quick Draw across a retreat path rather than directly on top of grouped enemies, since bullets after the first deal reduced damage to the same target
Clint — common questions
Is Clint good for beginners?
Yes. His skill-into-Basic-Attack loop is intuitive and forgiving, and Grenade Bombardment's independent recharge means beginners always have some burst damage available.
What is the best build for Clint?
Swift Boots into Berserker's Fury, Demon Hunter Sword, and Malefic Roar covers crit and penetration for his skill-weave DPS. Prioritize Queen's Wings against a dive-heavy enemy comp.
Which heroes counter Clint?
Fanny and Silvanna both close distance faster than Trapping Recoil's short hop can create, and Khufra knocks him airborne with Tyrant's Revenge before dragging him into a wall with Tyrant's Rage.
How does Double Shot work?
After casting any skill, his next Basic Attack within 4 seconds pierces a whole line of enemies for bonus damage and can trigger his other attack effects, so weaving a skill before attacking is core to his DPS.
