Question about Riki 's new ult

So does Riki's new ult purge dust, or would he still be dusted? As a corollary to that is his new ult more of a defensive or offensive spell? I could see it doing both.

Riki + Magnus might be thing this patch. If Riki maintains empower during his ultimate then the synergy between the two heroes is pretty ridiculous...

Say you get a 5 man RP, all Riki needs is be at the action and cast his ultimate to get at least 3 hits (instantly on cast, with 2 seconds of stun remaining from RP easily) to do a shitload of damage to the entire enemy team...

I'm not sure if Empower cleaves Backstab damage or not, but this would still probably put out a shitload of damage, not to mention the fact that Riki can drop cloud before using his ult to keep the enemies inside for even longer.

Empty-Mind [OP]

I don't think backstabbing is cleaved, but even so it would be a lot of damage.
