Vaevictis by Kindless

SPECIAL FEATURES:

- capable meele attack, which sacrifices some of his attack speed for increased attack damage (DPS stays intact),
- fast AS, mediocre AD (similar to Valla),
- "slow step" type of movement (similar to Lunara),
- versatility of playstyles depending on builds.

PROS:

- strong ranged attack carry,
- slightly durable during prolonged fights,
- team-cleaning capabilities of Grooved Spines (R1) if played properly.
- single target supress on Ferocious Leap (R2) and durable and sticky meele attacker during Ferocious.

CONS:

- worse range than similar type of carries,
- vulnerable to burst if caught out of combat (squishy without his Reactive Carapace stacks),
- versatile roles, mastery of one (ranged),
- weak to mediocre pusher, highly dependant on his Frenzy meele cleave.
