Hurgo

The Tendril Thug

Hurgo, a tentacled man born to harbor the curse, has decided to put the tentacles to use against his enemies in the tides of battle. Hurgo is a specialist who does well laning with a damage based ally, as Hurgo can infuse his allies with the power of his tendrils. Just because he does well with a damage ally doesn't mean he can't handle his own. Hurgo is a force to be reckoned with.

Strengths
Wise use of Suction Cup Slide results in mobility and utility.
Muck results in semi-constant crowd control.
Strong power to support an ally for a Takedown.
High damage heroics, both providing zone potential.
Torsion Mass deals evenly split damage to more Heroes, but higher damage to less Heroes.
Tentacular Mass is a niche ability that can get you where you need to go.
Multiple viable playstyles thanks to talents!

Weaknesses
Lower survivability with unwise use of Suction Cup Slide.
No natural healing or life boosting abilities.
Bad positioning with Superior Physique can easily result in a death.
Both heroics require careful positioning.
Hurgo all-round requires a planned route of movement & ability usage.
Low damage on his own if his ultimates are down.
