Let me start off by reviewing your content


 * Devil's Wrath
 * This Ability matches the type of Assassin you want Saburra to become, He's a Fighter Assassin, this much is obvious with the sheer amount of Fighter Qualities that you have added to Saburra. Changing it back to Counter System as opposed to the Sand System was a great idea by GreenMoriyama's Part; The main reason being that the Sand System prioritized Spell-Weaving and Bursting while the Counter System promotes Ambushing and Sustained Fighting.
 * Why Ambushing? Mainly because you can get counters easily if he was a Jungler and steadily maintain in with the sheer amount of mobility he has. Upon reaching an appropriate amount of stacks, he can wait for a person in a lane to overstep and appear behind them with his E.


 * Wraith Stab
 * See this ability is another fighter-oriented ability, other might be wondering when reading this "Huh!? how is this a fighter ability? there's so much burst in it" so let me address it, Auto-enhancing abilities are usually made for fighters the majority of auto-attack enhancer with the Likes of Blitzcrank, Garen, Leona, Jax, Mordekaiser, Nasus, Renekdon, Shyvana, Wukong, Xin Zhao, Trundle and Camille. Are there exceptions to the rule? Yes, there are always exceptions Twisted Fate and Vayne Coming to mind but not every champion should be an exception. Others now will fight against me saying Fizz and Ekko have AA-enhancer abilities, but you've seen them right? they are champions that can be played as fighters quite well if built like a tank even if they are Assassins. Its a good ability but a fighter-oriented one that was made for use of an assassin.


 * Scatter Phase
 * This is a Hybrid Ability. you can't categorize this as an Assassin ability or a Fighter Ability because this can easily be categorized as both. Thematically I can see this happening, He turns into sand and all you can do is watch and see as he comes closer and closer, traps don't activate, Nets don't catch, and Bullets don't hit. This is a Stalker Ability a scare tactic as you will because the person already knows that they can't hit you and they know the moment you form their dead. Simple but good none the less no complaint here


 * Sand Shift
 * The first Assassin ability in his kit. Assassins are known for their ability to redirect attention and trick people; that is just MY opinion of an assassin. They should be able to escape any situation at a moments notice by preparing for it earlier on or during the fight. This ability is perfect for said description. A situation could be that you are being chased in the enemy's red jungle, you go into the bush between the red pit and the baron pit. you send a gust out at the baron pit and scatter phase deeper into their jungle try to reach the next bush then disappear into the baron pit. or other stuff like that. it could also be used to get to the back line which is perfect for an assassin in game so take your pick xD


 * Devouring Impulse
 * Now, I Have a Question for you. why did you give it such a name and this ability does not heal him... at all, not one bit. you made 1 ability for an Assassin, another for a fighter and 2 hybrid skills. and this could be my OCD but shouldn't this also be a hybrid ability? I know it looks appealing to add that effect of GreenMoriyama in, you know the one with Wraith Stab but and no offense to Green here but shouldn't he be able to that out of ultimate like when he reaches maxed stacks in his counter? now listen to me, you have given no incentive for Saburra to keep his Counter Maxed out at 50. you have only given him a 50% Damage Increase at 45 stacks. people can stay teetering at 46-49 because they don't really need to max it out. so people are asking you now that you have to give the rest of his kit a buff if he does this which would then make him overloaded right? well not necessarily, Scatter Phase didn't really have a movement speed bonus before the last patch right? so give that to max stack Saburra. His Wraith Stab will get triple all the time, and his Sand Shift can also inflict fear upon reaching his destination. and his Ult can heal him a bit everytime he attacks the mark or get that buff.

this is just my opinion. thanks for the notice about GreenMoriyama's Note. I'll contact him right away after this.
