I actually forgot about Claires 15% cleave :O and on second note Byakuya is probably one of the best heroes. He isn't as strong as Alucard late but he is probably the best overall early- mid and first part of lategame. He has 0 sec cd blink so he can easily escape and no feed and he can blink in when someone is low and ks for easy kills early on, his main goal is to get to lvl 5/6 by ksing then he becomes great hero killer. In fact he has the faster farm early on, can kill dragons at lvl 20! and can kill golems 2x often before duel. In fact if you use your Q then follow up with R and then use illusion you can kill alot more golems than without illusion. If Byakuya duels first, he will almost alway win, just Q > E > W or just E and invisi. After duel he can kill a boss then head directly to kill dragons. Any pro Byakuya can farm dragons 6-8 minutes into game and that difference in level, and gold can let him dominate mid hard and even into late game as his farm is low cd and his W deals 1800 +5x agi if used for full 10 second duration and has a 2x agi dmg spell from lvl 6 E +. I probably like Byakuya more than Alucard but I find I almost always win when I play him especially when facing melee heroes with no blink spells so its not a challenge at all. His weaknesses is he has no instant AoE dmg so it's hard to ks while his R is easier to ks from and can be shut down if he doesn't get a few kills and get to lvl 5+ fast.
