IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Clang is a strength melee hero who redirects damage from his allies onto enemies.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

More than a decade after Ostarion left his Kingdom of Bones to ruins, phantoms and wraiths were obliged to no one. Not like there were many, yet one haunted piece of dark armor, still clanged through the ruins. Strolling the palace, with only eerie clanging of metal and steel to be heard, the guard did not only lose its flesh and bone but also its flame of soul. Antiquity of Valor was no more, now only its haunts remain. And with few boney visitors to lose their way back home, he soon finds his way out.
