• Jump: A standard jump.
• Sprint: Rapidly jumps/swims forward, can be sustained by holding the button.

Strengths: Very fast; unique slash aura cast is a great offensive tool.

Weakness: Small aura; can’t easily deal with enemies with large auras.

Masteries:

Depths of the Sea-Sojourner

• Tier 1 - Valiant Return: If the Wyrm and all his allies are banished, he shall instantly return.
• Tier 2 - Stunning Claim: Once per round, when saluting his adversaries, the Wyrm freezes ALL exiles for 3 seconds.
• Tier 2 - Heroic Stand: While the Wyrm’s allies are banished, he moves faster than usual and temporarily has infinite Stamina.
• Tier 3 - Seized Chance: For 10 seconds after banishing an adversary, the Wyrm deals an additional 10 damage to the adversary’s Pyre.

Tactics of the Underking

• Tier 1 - Avenging Aid: After the Wyrm banishes an adversary, one of his banished allies shall instantly return.
• Tier 2 - Quick Draw: After using Slash, the Wyrm can use it again to instantly return to his previous position.
• Tier 2 - Greater Cleave: The Wyrm’s Slash banishes adversaries in a wider area of effect.
• Tier 3 - Vigorous Slash: After using his Slash, the Wyrm instantly recovers all his Stamina.

Summary: The Wyrm's slashing aura cast is its main strength, leaving a short trail that can block enemies and be detonated for an explosion. Its speed makes it effective for carrying the orb. The main drawback is its small aura, which struggles against enemies with larger auras. An offensive build focusing on Greater Cleave for wider attacks, and skills that enhance stamina recovery or ally respawn, is recommended.
