Nox’s Ability
Passive: Flame of the Night
All of Nox’s powers are collected and used to fuel her candles. Each spell Nox casts causes a candle to be lit. Every candle that is lit increases Nox’s magical power by 3%. One of Nox’s candles is extinguished after she is wounded by an enemy god.
Skill 1: Shadow Lock
Nox moves her shadow forward to harm foes. When this shadow strikes an enemy god, it stops, immobilizing them and inflicting harm gradually. To keep a grasp on the victim, Nox must channel and stay in close proximity, however he can use this ability early. Nox will keep using this power even if she is subjected to crowd control effects. Nox is not hindered in his capacity to move in any direction while channeling this power.
Skill 2: Siphon Darkness
All opponents are rendered silent inside the darkness that Nox generates. It only lasts a short while until it bursts, doing harm.
Skill 3: Shadow Step
Nox charges forward and attacks every foe. If she strikes a deity who is an ally, she leaps into their shadow and follows them. Nox delivers damage once more in a circle around her as she emerges from a shadow. Nox has the option to end the effect early to leave the shadows.
Ultimate: Night Terror
Nox releases a dark energy vortex that explodes when it comes in contact with an enemy god, damaging all foes within 20 yards and doing damage over time. In addition, enemies hit take damage reduction for the time.
