Tornado Upgrades

After the Tornado lands, you should have enough time to turn around and perform a melee attack.

Fire Scarabs (2)

Launch fire scarabs that can be fired separately, stealing max health from enemies and applying bullet resist reduction. Multiple scarabs cannot be applied to the same enemy. The health gain from hitting heroes is three times as effective against non-heroes.

Fire Scarabs Upgrades

Maximize the effectiveness of this ability by prioritizing tanky enemies. Ideal targets include heroes like Abrams, Mo and Krill, and Viscous.

Djinn's Mark (3)

Passive: Your shots apply an increasing multiplier on the target. When the multiplier expires or reaches its maximum, it is consumed, causing the target to suffer Spirit Damage and become briefly revealed on the map. The final damage is calculated as the base damage multiplied by the multiplier.

• Base Damage: 12

• Max Multiplier: 8x

• Cooldown Between Multiplier: 2.5s

• Multiplier Duration: 4.5s

Active: Consume the multiplier from Djinn's Mark to deal its damage immediately.

Items like Ricochet interact with Djinn's Mark, making it a valuable late-game purchase.

Seismic Impact Upgrades

Traveler is most effective when coordinated with allies. Make sure to communicate with your team to execute combos with heroes like Kelvin, Mo and Krill, and Wraith for easy picks.
