Helix Gearbreaker (v1.1)

Juggernaut Builder

Formerly a craftsman in the Bilgewater Cartel, Helix was offered a sum eclipsing anything he would ever make as a nameless Horde engineer to ply his trade for the Defias Brotherhood. He was quick to accept the job and renounce his former loyalties... just as any resourceful goblin would.

Helix Gearbreaker is in charge of building the mast of the Defias Juggernaught. He and his fellow goblins that are working for the Defias Brotherhood are considered traitors to the Bilgewater Cartel and the Horde. According to Vanessa Vancleef, Helix is unlike other rogues; He seems to have a fear of the shadows, spiders specifically, and prefers to fight in the light.

Oaf-erational Procedures: When Helix's health drops to 0 he will leap to a nearby allied hero and ride their back for 5 seconds. During this duration Helix will be able to cast untalented versions of Acidic Firebomb and Healing Spray. Once both spells have been cast or the duration is up, he will hop to another allied hero and repeat this. He may repeat this until he respawns or until there are no nearby allied heroes to jump to. If there are no nearby allied heroes, he will disappear to await his respawn.
