Presentation

A marksman who attacks the enemy center, becomes more powerful as the combat drags on, gifted with a survival skill to last until the end.

He is yet another effort of Nexters to slow down the pace of battles, after Fluffy, Electra and Byrna. This is why we have seen stalling teams come back into fashion recently.

Skills

Adam's Bounty Lock (ultimate, white) Skill

Bounty Lock (ultimate, white)

Fires a tracking round at the enemy Hero without Hunter's Mark closest to the center of the enemy team. The shot applies Hunter's Mark and deals 257,905 damage.

If the target dies while affected by Hunter's Mark, the ability is immediately reset.

  • Damage: 257,905 (250% physical attack + 400 * level)
Adam's Fan the Hammer (periodic, green) Skill

Fan the Hammer (periodic, green)

Fires a series of 3 shots at the nearest enemy, dealing 78,990 damage with each shot. If there are enemies on the battlefield with Hunter's Mark, the shots ricochet to them, dealing 46,045 damage.

  • Damage to main target: 78,990 (80% physical attack + 100 * level + 100)
  • Damage to marked target: 46,045 (40% physical attack + 100 * level + 100)
  • Cooldown*: 7s
Adam's Reactive Screen (periodic, blue) Skill

Reactive Screen (periodic, blue)

Once every 10s, when Adam takes damage from enemies, a smoke screen is deployed beneath him for 5s. While inside the smoke screen, Adam gains 13,436 additional dodge and can evade all types of damage, not just physical.

  • Additional dodge: 13,436 (10% physical attack + 40 * level)
  • Cooldown*: 10s
Adam's Adaptive Caliber (passive, violet) Skill

Adaptive Caliber (passive, violet)

Passive skill. When Adam deals physical damage and does not fully penetrate the target's armor, his Armor Penetration increases by 3,533. If Adam fully penetrates the target's armor, his Physical Attack increases by 4,707.

Both effects stack and last until the end of the battle.

  • Physical Attack increase: 4,707 (0.9% health + 5 * level)
  • Armor Penetration increase: 3,533 (3.5% physical attack + 5 * level)

Discussion

TBD

Polaris Synergy

While Polaris is usually a very bad fit for physical heroes because of her fourth skill, this is actually useful for Adam.

Indeed, ordinarily, he kills someone before he can put marks on every ennemy. But Polaris will prebent this and let him stack marks.

After that, whenever he uses his green skill (7s), he will delive fifteen small hits, gainig many bonus stacks through his fourth skill.

Lore

Adam is a crack shot coerced by the Hoortha to be their hunting god.

He was tasked to bring back Arachne dead or alive, but his ship got destroyed by the planetary defenses Julius had set up to protect the Dominion.

The Hoortha took his silence for an act of betrayal and sent other bounty hunters after him. He managed to defeat them along with Arachne and the heroes of Dominion, and Julius was able to remove the tracking chip in his head.
