Name
Immortal’s
Type
Passive
Death
Description
Thanatos decides who will face death whenever he spawns onto the
battleground. Whenever Thanatos’s target dies, he gains a sense of
satisfaction since gods being immortal are the bane of his existence.
All his abilities will have their cooldowns temporarily reduced.
End Life
Active 1
Thanatos chooses an enemy god in a ground target and informs them
that their time has come. Gods hit receive significant damage. If this
ability is used when Merciless is active, enemies slain will have their
respawn time increased. However, if they are not killed while Merciless
is active, the enemy god will be immune to damage for a short period
of time. This ability also affects minions but will only cause damage.
Escalating
Active 2
Weakness
Being the personification of death, Thanatos ignores the healing of
enemy gods. When activated, Thanatos releases an aura around him that
damages and reduces the healing of nearby gods and minions. If this
ability is used when Merciless is active, anyone caught in the radius will
be pulled towards Thanatos as he brings them closer to their death.
Merciless
Active 3
Thanatos was angered that he was outwitted by Sisyphus. With this rage
rising within him, he gains magical power. Using this ability before End
Life and Escalating Weakness will give those abilities additional effects.
Tartarus
Ultimate
Enemy gods now face the agony of Tartarus, an abyss which functions as a
dungeon of torment and a prison for Titans. Any enemy hit by this ability will
be temporarily transported to Tartarus and will receive heavy damage. Upon
returning to the battleground, they are feared for a short period of time.
