Lumière sur Stukov

Et Stukov sera… un support ! Il combinera en particulier à la fois des soins et des dégâts sur la durée, que son trait peut amplifier, ainsi qu’un silence sur son E qui pourrait faire très mal. Ses héroïques sont assez surprenants, nous vous laissons les découvrir en vidéo.

    • Can cast it on self, and spread to self.
    • Cannot spread to targets to whom it has already spread.

• Weighted Pustule (W)
  • Hurl a pustule that impacts all enemy Heroes in its path, dealing 20 damage and Slowing by 5%, increasing to 50% over 3 seconds. Deals an additional 80 damage upon expiring or being removed.
