Abilities

Enemy Drain ‐ Reduces the strength, resistances, and movement speeds of nearby enemies. This is very powerful against Nightmare mode monsters!

Remote Defense Boost ‐ Enhances the damage, attack rate, and range of ALL the Defenses specifically summoned by any nearby ally heroes.

Weapon Skills

Melee Combo ‐ The Initiate unleashes a 3‐hit melee combo with each subsequent attack increasing in damage and range.

Energy Projectile ‐ The Initiate channels some of her chi into her spear, projecting an energy bolt useful for weakening enemies at a distance.

Promotional Description

A student of the mountain monasteries, the Initiate has joined her counterpart to discover the truth behind her master's demise. While her time in the mountains may have decreased her endurance, her increased spell-casting and movement speeds coupled with powerful radial abilities make her a strong ally. Her Enemy Drain ability allows her to debuff all nearby foes and her Remote Defense Boost ability buffs the defenses of any nearby allies. She will not give up until she discovers the truth behind her master’s disappearance and avenges him! ^[1]
