Hero Introduction
The Venomancer uses an assortment of toxins to slowly bring down his enemies. He can shoot a fast Venomous Gale projectile out that poisons in a narrow wave front of him, which will slow enemies down greatly and deal damage over time. His attacks are coated with Poisonous Stingers that deal minor slow and damage. He can place Plague Wards far out in front of him to scout, or in the battle to push and even block off routes. His ultimate Poison Nova attack unleashes potent toxin in a large ring around his body, infecting everyone it hits, dealing large damage, but over a long time. Though this toxin is non-lethal, every other poison he carries is. He is exceptional at weakening enemies, and slowing them down.
Background story
For those obsessed with death, poison is a necessary study. However, Lesale went a step too far. He experimented upon himself with various toxins and chemicals so that he could learn the secrets of death. These twisted his mind and mutated his body into a hideous creature which embodies an immense hatred for all things pure. He can strike an enemy with a concentrated shot of poison or even spread a toxic gas throughout an entire area, severely weakening beast and human alike.
