Artio’s Ability
Passive: Decompose
When Artio’s Druid or Bear destructive abilities hit an enemy deity, they will start to rot. Their physical and magical protections are reduced by this effect. This result accumulates.
Skill 1: Energy Surge (Maul Prey)
Druid: Artio sends out powerful energy pulses that harm foes. For each enemy god hit by this ability, she will heal herself and any allies within 65 units. In bear form, Artio uses her claws to slash twice, doing damage to foes with each strike.
Skill 2: Entangling Vines (Ferocious Roar)
In her druidic form, Artio surrounds herself with a tangle of vines that renders enemy gods immobile and lowers their Magical or Physical Power for as long as they remain there. Artio transforms into a bear, unleashing a roar that stuns any opponents nearby and boosts her own physical and magical defenses for four seconds.
Skill 3: Life Tap (Heavy Charge)
In druid form, Artio channels for two seconds while sapping foes’ vitality. She can heal herself up to five times while channeling, and she can deal damage up to five times. Enemies are Slowed down more and more with each strike, and those hit five times are Rooted for a second. Artio moves forward more quickly for three seconds while in bear form. She charges through enemies, doing damage and slowing them for two seconds.
Ultimate: Shapeshift
Active: Artio switches between her bear and druid stances. Every time Artio uses an ability to harm at least one enemy, she receives one stack of Invigoration. Her Movement Speed and MP5 are enhanced by Invigoration stacks. Stacks last 6 seconds and can be added to 8 times.
