Description
All enemies in the area of Ruohtta have their
protections and power reduced by a small percent.
Malady
Ability 1
Ruohtta sends forth a cloud of the plague that lingers
for a few moments. Any enemy hit or who crosses
through the cloud takes part of it with them and it
trails behind them. The plague deals mild burst on
impact followed by a few ticks of damage over time.
Horseman
Ability 2
Ruohtta charges forward in a line, leaving a trail
of fear behind him. Those hit by the horse receive
moderate damage and any standing in the wake
of the ability are feared for a brief duration.
Subjugation
Ability 3
Ruohtta snuffs the life of an enemy minion,
binding its soul to him and granting it a
new body. These servants protect Ruohtta,
exploding in a noxious cloud upon death.
Rotaimo
Ultimate
Ruohtta banishes all enemies in a large radius to
Rotaimo. Upon re-emerging from the land of the dead,
any enemies banished receive moderate damage.
