Combo
E Oni Charge to knock up → Q Ground Pound to slow → R Molten Plate for the shield burst. F Demon's Domain taunts everyone in the ring toward you: use it when your team is ready to follow.
Tips
- Oni Hide gives up to 25% damage reduction with 5 enemy heroes within 12 studs. Diving into the enemy team is the plan, not a mistake.
- Molten Plate explodes when it breaks or ends, so cast it right before you take a lot of damage.
- Demon's Domain keeps dragging enemy heroes toward you while it lasts, away from their backline. Great with Ember or Zephyr ultimates.
Watch out for
- Weak 1v1 against ranged heroes
- Taunt does nothing if your team isn't there to follow
