A fighter who wields dawn, annihilation, truth, and darkness, guiding the weak toward strength and destroying those who refuse to advance.
No one knows what he endured, but he ultimately gained the strongest power in the world at the cost of losing his emotions. He bears the duty of the Watchman of Darkness: to guide the weak into becoming strong like him, and to destroy those who stop moving forward.
"Weakness is the greatest sin in this world." — Watchman of Darkness
Passive
The Watchman of Darkness commands several powers. Each non-ultimate active skill functions as three independent skills that share a cooldown. Hitting an enemy hero with a basic skill grants 1 Dark Energy, up to 3. Each Dark Energy grants 30 (+5% AD) damage block. If he has Dark Energy when casting a skill, holding the hotkey modifier (default Ctrl) releases the enhanced skill. At 3 Dark Energy, the ultimate T: Darkness Descends is unlocked. When the ultimate is not active, casting a skill of a power switches his basic attack effect to that power.
