Danko, the Dolphin

strength Hero

by x112 Dec 14, 2025

Danko, the Dolphin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUftz2iisYE All Credit goes to the Original Creator, kept it the same but with some upgrades. Danko wants to gank all day, using his Puffer to get ripped and score easy kills on weak enemies. The water it creates gives him zones outside the river to Dank Dive, gaining huge speed boosts and a stunning jump when he leaves the water. With Echolocation, he can also scout the map for targets and be rewarded with damage for his next assault if he pings enemies. His Ultimate, Dolphin Whirlpool, causes him to leap wildly with a pod of dolphins between sources of water, potentially bringing enemies along for the ride. This makes for a huge stun where you can control where enemies are dragged to and ensures chaos in long fights where there have been many chances to Puffer Punt and Dank Dive.
