The betrayer, master of daggers, red crit number overflow - Kullervo!
Release date: 2023-06-21
Passive: All melee weapons equipped by Kullervo gain +75% Heavy Attack Efficiency and +100% Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed.
Wrathful Advance - (TAP) Kullervo charges a Heavy Attack, then teleports to his target and strikes. His rage-filled focus temporarily increases his Melee Critical Chance.
(HOLD) Teleport to any marked location.
Recompense - Kullervo surrounds himself with daggers. Each dagger that strikes an enemy restores his health, but each dagger that misses an enemy strikes Kullervo, dealing a bit of damage. When Kullervo has max Health, he receives Overguard from struck enemies.
Collective Curse - Kullervo sends forth a curse that binds enemies. When a cursed enemy takes damage from him, every other cursed enemy also suffers a portion of that damage.
Storm of Ukko - The Void answers Kullervo’s invocation with a storm of daggers that rain down upon his enemies.
Acquisition: Main and component blueprints are purchased from Acrithis for Kullervo’s Bane.
Ah yes, Kullervo, the reason Overguard finally got fixed. Wrathful Advance is cool, but I actually really appreciate how you can also play him as a nuker due to the quadratic scaling off Collective Curse and Ukko’s Storm.
Ukko’s Advance is a fun augment because it streamlines his gameplay to bringing a combo charger with you as you hack and slap your way to epic victory with his 1.
Not Kullervo specific, but because Blast is currently coded a la Xata as an entire second hit, this means Blast Rauta can actually charge extra combo over what it says it does. Same mechanic behind why Blast on Snipers leads to extremely rapid combo racking. Not sure how it interacts with Xata and Collective Curse, but I imagine Nautilus might enable one-tap combo maxes with such a setup.
