The Pelagic Idol

“The thirst for power… The quenching of hubris! A disease that ought to plague all societies alike.”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀-The Ancestor

---

Marine gods often come and go, unable to fathom how grudgingly impossible ruling the sheer vastness of the oceans truly is. As such, tumultuous insurgencies are often given ample opportunities to fester.

Today, an exemplar of such occurrences appeared at our Hamlet unexpectedly. Despite initial fears from the townsfolk, the ichthyic prophet only seemed interested in spreading his abyssal gospel for all to listen. Seeking a challenge befitting of his supposed godly status, he readily waltzed right into our ranks with asisine arrogance.

…Of course, we needn’t buy into his ideology to make good use of him.


The Pelagic Idol is a Cove-themed jack-of-all-trades hero that can either support his team with heals, buffs and repositioning, or take on a more offensive role with CRITS, bleeds, and debilitating debuffs to the enemy. The Pelagic Idol also has rather generous launch ranks for most of his skills, allowing him to work well in most positions and/or dance teams.
