The Darkness Tank is a midgame tank, that specializes in confusing and weakening his enemies, before killing them off. He is able to completely stop any means of healing, burn mana or totally shut off enemy vision over the map, as long as they are within his ultimate. With this the Darkness Tank is able to create unique situations, where he make his enemies completely oblivious to other actions on the map and thus maybe help his teammates in capturing a control point or two.
He also has a unique tank cannon at his disposal, which is able to deal high amounts of damage in a short amount of time.
Orb of Darkness [ Q ]
Active – Area Target (Enemy)
Launches a slow moving orb towards a target area. The orb deals 750 damage, which increases the more damage it takes. When the orb gets destroyed, it also stuns for 2s.
