IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

The Black Hand uses his abilities to sustain himself in a fight. He wants to pressure enemies continously without the need to retain back to base. However, he does need to win the fight. His first ability, Advantage, makes sure he has the upper hand in any situation. His second ability, Plan B, is a great form of escape that keeps opponents occupied. Killing opponents is easy for someone who has trained up a flawless riptose. A prepared mercenary knows that an army marches on a stomach, and he has done the Groundwork to ensure that he can stay in the fight. Designed to be a fast tempo hero that can play the map at a much quicker pace than his opponents.

OMG.AKi commented 3 years ago

I got a question to Advantage Shard. Will echo Sabre essentially quadruple on-hit effects if the Sabre attack is modified by Advantage; and can Advantage itself duplicate Echo Sabre's effect in case it's on-hit?

joel replied 3 years ago

If the sabre attack is modified by advantage, the first attack will have the doubled on-hit chance (for basher 50% chance to bash instead of 25%, for Daedalus is 60% to crit instead of 30% for example). The second attack will not have the advantaged effect unless you are somehow able to press advantage between the 2 strikes. Echo Sabre chance is 100%, so it is doubled to 200%, but is guaranteed always, so doesn't matter.
