Passive – Dimensional Rift

Nolan’s skills can cut through dimensions, creating rifts that slow enemies. When two rifts touch, they pull in enemies and explode, dealing physical damage.
Each rift explosion hitting an enemy hero or Creep grants Nolan Energy. If Nolan goes without damage from non-Minion or non-Creep units, his next Basic Attack dashes to the target, dealing Physical Damage and creating a rift.

Skill 1 – Expansion

Nolan cuts a rectangular area in front of him, dealing physical damage and leaving a rift at the first enemy hit.

Skill 2 – Gauge

Nolan charges in the target direction and performs a slash, dealing physical damage to enemies in his path and leaving a rift.

Ultimate – Fracture

Nolan removes all debuffs on himself and slashes the target location 3 times, dealing physical damage with each slash while leaving 3 rifts. The rifts will explode automatically while Nolan dashes backward.

The hero will be released on September 30.
