To keep his Tidal Level as high as possible at all times, Poseidon largely relies on his fundamental assaults. To reach Tidal level cap, you need 12 basic attacks. Poseidon must therefore speed up his attacks.
Poseidon’s Ability
Passive: Changing Tides
As Poseidon’s Tide Level rises, his movement speed quickens and his abilities do more damage. His Tide rises with successful Basic Attack hits, and it falls with the use of abilities.
Skill 1: Tidal Surge
All foes in its path are damaged and driven back by the wave that Poseidon conjures, which moves in a straight line.
Skill 2: Trident
When Poseidon uses his trident, it improves his movement speed, attack speed, and basic attack damage by 25% for six seconds. Poseidon’s Basic Attacks additionally launch two extra shots that deal ability damage and set off ability on-hit effects while this effect is in effect. All shots raise Poseidon’s Tide when they connect.
Skill 3: Whirlpool
At his ground target position, Poseidon conjures a whirlpool that Cripples opponents, hinders mobility abilities, and creates a Vortex that draws targets toward the center, causing damage every time.5s for 3s.
Ultimate: Release the Kraken!
The Kraken is unleashed by Poseidon, injuring and slowing opponents within its radius. When it spawns, enemies in the center of the effect take more damage, are knocked down, and are stunned.
