Garudon — Short Lore
Garudon was abandoned as an infant in the high mountains. When a flight of eagles found him, they sensed a powerful wind energy within him and recognized it as divine. They did not see a child, but a god, and raised him among the cliffs as one of their own.
As he grew, Garudon learned the language of the sky from the eagles. Years later, wandering climbers and surveyors reached the mountain, and from them he learned English.
When Garudon reached his sixtieth year, an unknown entity cursed the mountain. An eternal storm formed without warning, turning the skies violent and unsafe. The eagles could no longer fly freely, trapped by the very winds they once ruled.
Hearing of the ritual in New York that summons the Patrons, Garudon left the mountain for the first time. He seeks only one thing from a Patron: to lift the curse and return the skies to the eagles.
Hero Overview
A tanky recon–control hero who excels at gathering information, disrupting enemy positioning, and shaping fights through area denial and crowd control. Relies on vision, zoning, and sustained pressure rather than burst damage.
Weapon: Wings Fan
The wings snap and flex, hurling compressed blasts of air in a wide, shotgun-like spread.
Abilities
1. Eagle Attack
Unit-targeted
Summons a large eagle from the sky. After a 0.7-second delay, accompanied by a loud, intimidating eagle screech, the eagle rapidly dives toward the targeted enemy hero. On impact, it explodes, dealing damage and applying a slow to enemies in an area.
2. Shadow Cape
The hero becomes invisible for 20 seconds.
Base Behavior
3. Summon Familiar
Summons a flying bird that can be directly controlled using Mouse2, granting vision from its perspective.
4. Tornado Field
Ultimate
For 10 seconds, summons tornados around both the hero and the summoned familiar. The tornados move in a chaotic pattern. Enemies touched by a tornado are lifted, preventing movement (WASD, jump, dash, etc) for 0.3 seconds, and take spirit-scaling damage.
