Story

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.

Embraced by Powers

The Watchman of Darkness commands several powers. Each unlocked power is an independent form with its own Q/W/E/R ability set. His power forms add extra effects to his basic attacks: Power of Dawn causes basic attacks to trigger on-hit effects twice; Power of Destruction causes basic attacks to deal bonus physical damage equal to 3% of the target's missing health; Power of Truth grants 20% attack speed and removes the windup from his basic attacks. Hitting an enemy hero with a basic ability grants 1 Dark Energy, up to 3; if he has Dark Energy when casting a skill, holding the hotkey modifier (default Ctrl) releases the enhanced skill. Each time T: Darkness Descends is ranked up, one locked power can be unlocked. If every power is already unlocked, ranking up T instead permanently upgrades all of the Watchman of Darkness' core attributes once. At 3 Dark Energy, T: Darkness Descends becomes available.
