Anti stroke machine
The droplets of ichor he'd procured to amplify the potency of his inkpots had instead contaminated them, and the power of the binding spell he'd cast now threatened to consume him.
But as his final brush strokes fell against the runestone, and the bond of a new Ascended One was forged, everyone - even those who'd stayed in their homes - could sense that something had gone terribly wrong. The people of Ashkavor crowded around the temple square, eager to witness the ascension of their new guardian - to stand near the man as he bound their souls to his own. The capacity to slow, stun, silence, and bind multiple targets makes Grimstroke an extremely potent figure who should never be underestimated in teamfights. Combined, Grimstoke's abilities dish out heavy magical damage, with the potential to quickly decimate two enemy heroes chained together under his ultimate, Soulbind. Enemies are discouraged from approaching or attacking allies shielded with Ink Swell, as doing so could result in extra damage and a long, area-of-effect stun. Phantom's Embrace forces targets to stop and attack the phantom, or suffer heavy damage.
Stroke of Fate is a simple, linear nuke that slows enemies in its path, setting them up for follow-up abilities. His long cast range also allows him to harass and zone out opponents while delivering substantial damage from the back line. With an arsenal of punitive and disabling spells, he forces enemies to rethink their actions, or retreat from his overbearing attacks.
Grimstroke is a ranged intelligence hero specializing as a nuker and offensive support.
