CONSTRUCT DETAILS
This structure has its own base stats and is considered a structure and a unit but not a hero. All effects and abilities that could target a unit and/or building can affect it. When a construct is killed, it is treated like a tower kill as the entire enemy team benefits from its bounty with its main killer receiving a larger bonus and exp.

Primary Abilities

Q
Anvil Strike
Vulcan swings his hammer at a target, stunning and flinging them forward where Vulcan is facing. Enemy units on its landing also take damage and are stunned. Allied targets are not stunned when flung. When Vulcan targets a structure it instead applies a heal, short health regeneration and grants it bonus armor during the regeneration.

Ultimate Abilities

R
Forge Construct
After a few seconds, Vulcan builds a structure that attacks nearby enemies at a certain range with siege damage. The construct can be uprooted from its position and be slowly controlled but becomes melee. The structure cannot attack if Vulcan is further than 1800 units away unless they are uprooted. All kills and assists are attributed to the construct itself but Vulcan receives a portion of the kill and assist rewards received. (See CONSTRUCT DETAILS for further info.)
