Hero Review

Hygil: The Dwarf Who Maps Your Demise

"Hygil brings a telescope, a map, and an 850% sniper hit to the battlefield. This slow mana Astral Dwarf isn't just looking for stars; he is looking to delete enemies from existence while buffing his team to the moon. Is he the new king of Rush Wars or just another slow hero left behind? Let's chart his course."
