Hero Name: Shade
Tags: Escape, Close combat, Initiatior.
STRENGTH: Versatility, Burst damage and Escape.
WEAKNESS:
Shade’s laning phase is notably challenging due to a lack of poke skills, making him vulnerable early on. To maximize his effectiveness, Shade often has to put himself in dangerous positions, relying on his close-range brawler abilities. This high-risk, high-reward playstyle means he needs to be right in the thick of combat, making him susceptible to enemy focus and crowd control.
