Hero Discussion of the Day: Jakiro, the Twin Head Dragon (3rd June 2013)
As requested via PM, Jakiro.
###Jakiro, the Twin Head Dragon
Jakiro the Twin Head Dragon is a ranged intelligence hero who utilises powers over ice and fire in powerful linear area spells. He can freeze enemies in place or slow them down, and is capable of dealing heavy damage throughout the game by locking enemies inside his Macropyre.
With high base intelligence, strength, and statistics gain and relatively low mana costs, he requires few items to be effective. Jakiro is a support who can continually turn battles in his favor with good positioning. His high strength gain makes him a bit tougher than most spellcasters and his low cooldowns ensure that his downtime is very miniscule, making him a great hero for ganks, pushes and clashes across the battlefield.
####Lore
Even among magical beasts, a twin-headed dragon is a freak. Equal parts ice and fire, cunning and rage, the creature known as Jakiro glides over charred and ice-bound battlefields, laying waste to any who would bear arms against it. Pyrexae dragon clutches always contain two fledglings. Famous for their viciousness even from the first moments of life, newly hatched dragons of this species will try to kill their sibling while still in the nest. Only the strongest survive. In this way is the strength of the Pyrexae line ensured. By some accident of nature, the freak Jakiro hatches from a single egg, combining in a single individual the full range of abilities found within the diverse Pyrexae species. Trapped within the armature of its monstrous body, the powers of ice and fire combine, and now no enemy is safe.
