Why it works

• Aura inside the slam. The banner slam knocks up and slows everyone in twenty meters, and Aura of Suffering Aura of Suffering 8s Duration2s Cooldown A toggle that radiates escalating spirit damage in roughly an 8m sphere around Victor, hurting enemies and Victor himself. Crowd Control T1 applies a 20% move and dash slow to enemies inside the aura Damage 13 DPS minimum ramping to 58 DPS maximum over roughly 8s of channel; Defensive none — it damages Victor as well 1 +20% move and dash slow on enemies in the aura 2 +6 minimum DPS and +34 maximum DPS 5 +1m radius and enemies inside take +15% damage from all sources slows and burns enemies near Victor. Victor is slow, so the banner's speed boost gets him into range.
• Two hard to kill brawlers. Royal Pestments Royal Pestments 6s Duration22s Cooldown Rat King puts on scrap armour that gives him a barrier worth a share of his maximum health. Damage Reflected bullets return their full damage to the shooter. Defensive Barrier equal to 15% of his max health for 6s on a 22s cooldown. 1 +4s duration 2 -8s cooldown and +15% bullet return chance 5 +10% max health as barrier, and no single hit deals more than 250 while it holds blunts burst on Rat King Rat King New hero Released 2 October Released 2 October. A gun-scaling brawler and team buffer: a three-blast slowing grenade, rats that strip bullet resist with every bite, a reflecting barrier, and a banner that makes his team slow-immune. and Shocking Reanimation Shocking Reanimation 240s Cooldown A passive that fires when Victor would die. Crowd Control Diminishing slow from the death wave, then a 1.5s stun on reanimation (T3… Damage 200 spirit on reanimation; Defensive Rebirth at 50% health base; 1 +15% fire rate and +6 spirit damage per bullet while Shocking Reanimation is on cooldown 2 +50% rebirth health (so he returns much healthier) 5 +175 damage, +1.5s stun duration, and -95s cooldown (240s base down to roughly 145s) gives Victor a second life. Both sit in the planted banner's damage reduction zone.
• Mixed damage. Victor deals Spirit Damage while most of Rat King Rat King New hero Released 2 October Released 2 October. A gun-scaling brawler and team buffer: a three-blast slowing grenade, rats that strip bullet resist with every bite, a reflecting barrier, and a banner that makes his team slow-immune. 's kit is Bullet Damage, so one resist item cannot answer both.
