Abilities

  • Gloom Bombs

    Throw a cluster of bombs that detonate after a delay, dealing spirit damage.Enemies hit by multiple bombs take 65% damage.

  • Leaping Slash

    Dash forward before slashing all enemies in a circle, dealing melee damage. If the ability hits at least one hero, heal a small amount of health.

  • Ava

    Turn to shadows and possess Ava. You gain bonus move speed that increases over time, and become hidden on the minimap. Taking damage from an enemy hero resets your bonus move speed and puts Ava on a brief cooldown.

  • Return to Shadows

    Instantly turn to shadows, becoming untargetable, gaining bonus move speed, and dealing spirit damage. After a delay, return from the shadows, dealing spirit damage again.
