Tips and Tricks

  • You are a teamfight focused hero. You deal AoE damage and should try to be near the back line of your team. Avoid being alone as you are squishy (Fragile).
  • Your left-click attack pierces, so use this to your advantage and always try to hit more than one opponent. If a tank character is in between you and another squishy, shoot right through him.
  • You move slower while casting Heat Wave, so try not to have any enemies around when doing so.

Trivia

  • The "Char" from Charnok refers to the word char, which means to burn.
