Hayabusa works best with Fighters like Lapu-Lapu and Alpha who can initiate with him to quickly focus down key targets.
Hayabusa is countered by heroes with targeted CC like Franco and Kaja who can lock him down before he can blink away.
Level up in this order when playing Hayabusa:
Ninjutsu: Quad Shadow
Ninjutsu: Trace of Shadow
Ninjutsu: Phantom Shuriken
The young leader of the Shadow Sect who wields his blade through moonless nights, walking the path of nindo without fear.
Hayabusa's attacks apply a stack of Shadow Mark on hit (up to 4 stacks). Each stack lasts 6s and increases Hayabusa's damage to the enemy by 5%.
Hayabusa throws three returning shurikens in the target direction, each dealing 220 (+75% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies hit and slowing them by 35% for 2s. Enemies hit by multiple shurikens take 70% less damage after the first hit, and Creeps take 50% less damage after the first hit. Hayabusa restores 10 energy when hitting non-Minion enemies. Passive: Hayabusa permanently gains 3% Spell Vamp.
Hayabusa dashes in the target direction and releases four phantoms that travel in separate directions. The phantoms will remain at the end of their paths or attach themselves to the first enemy hero hit, dealing 130 (+30% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage and slowing them by 40% for 2s. Hayabusa will immediately stop if he hits an enemy hero during the dash. Use Again: Hayabusa teleports to a phantom's location and reduces the cooldown of Ninjutsu: Phantom Shuriken by 1s. If the phantom is attached to an enemy hero, he also deals 130 (+30% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the enemy.
Hayabusa blends into the shadows and launches 6 single-target attacks on enemies in the area, each dealing 140 (+32% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage. The attacks prioritize enemies with Shadow Mark and each will consume a mark to deal 90 (+40% Extra Physical Attack) extra Physical Damage. Shadow Kill does not apply Shadow Mark.
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 1 → Skill 2.

In teamfights, Hayabusa should use his 2nd Skill to hit an enemy with his phantom, then use his 1st and 2nd Skill on the target to apply Shadow Mark before unleashing his Ultimate. Afterwards, use his 1st Skill to finish off the enemy and escape with his 2nd Skill.

In the laning phase, use Hayabusa's 2nd Skill to hit the enemy with a phantom, then strike with his 1st Skill, and use his 2nd Skill to blink away. Wait until Hayabusa's 1st Skill is off cooldown, then blink back to the enemy with his 2nd Skill and strike again with his 1st Skill followed by his Ultimate to secure the kill.

Flame Hunter's Tough Boots
Hunter Strike
Blade of the Heptaseas
Endless Battle
Malefic Roar
Blade of Despair
I chose this equipment build because Hayabusa is a burst assassin who needs high damage, penetration, and mobility to quickly eliminate enemy backline heroes. The build provides strong early-game damage for jungle clearing and ganks, mid-game burst to secure kills, and late-game finishing power against squishy targets. Items like Hunter Strike and Blade of the Heptaseas help with early snowballing, while Endless Battle and Blade of Despair maximize burst damage. Malefic Roar ensures effectiveness against tanky enemies, allowing Hayabusa to stay relevant throughout all stages of the game.

Best build for Hayabusa. Hunter Strike helps to clear the jungle quickly, deal initial damage, and build the early game. War Axe improves survivability and provides spell vamp and true damage. Malefic Roar is a mandatory purchase in the current meta because tanks and fighters are the main problem for Hayabusa at the start. Then follows Blade of Despair, the core item for the hero, which maximizes damage output. Endless Battle fits this hero well by increasing total damage and true damage while enhancing survivability and movement speed.

FIRST DAMAGE. The Assassin Emblem set is the best choice for Hayabusa to deal with both tanks and squishy targets.

For the core talent pick War Cry to boost your damage output by eight percent after landing basic attacks or skills. This setup provides the necessary mobility for ganking and extra sustained damage to eliminate any type of enemy hero during a fight.
Battle Spell. Flame Retribution steals Physical Attack from the opponent and transfers it to you. This significantly boosts your Ultimate burst damage while simultaneously weakening the target. Hayabusa gains a decisive advantage in duels against Marksmen and Mages because they lose a portion of their strength. Use the spell at the start of your combo so that all subsequent skills deal maximum damage. This is the best option for achieving peak assassin efficiency and quickly eliminating priority targets.

Since Hayabusa is an assassin, we use the assassin emblem along with "Rupture" to get extra physical penetration. "Seasoned hunter" for the turtle and lord which will deal extra damage to them and lastly "War cry" for extra physical damage.
