Gerald

By:
Last Updated:

Gerald is a utility based inteligence hero. He excels at repositioning enemies with his W and R. Using all of his abilities to its full potential can sometimes be really hard. All of his abilities are releated to Tree Enchantment, because he can use every single one of his abilities from Enchanted trees, but with even stronger effects. He has a unique passive which provides him with either a ton of cast range, or a ton of spell amp, depending on how it's switched. It also makes him able to rotate trees to aim his Q better.

BASE STATS:

Strenght: 21+2.4
Agility: 15+1.8
Inteligence: 19+2.2 (primary)
Armor: 1
Damage: 21-29

All the numbers in the brackets () are the ones you get if you are using that ability from an Enchanted Tree. Every single one of Gerald's abilities is stronger if used form a tree, and will never have cast point.

Simmular to how blinding light works, just a bit different. This ability will knock you
to the side of the AoE, so if you are at the edge of the AoE it will almost not even knock you back, but if you are in the middle, it will knock you back full 750 distance to the side.
