Abilities

Ability What to expect
Slam Fire Reload instantly, then gain fire rate and bonus weapon damage based on the target’s health for a limited number of shots, with worse accuracy.
Boot Kick Kick the first enemy on your dash path and mark them. Shooting the marked target deals spirit damage and consumes the mark.
Entangling Bola A bola damages and slows its target, preventing movement abilities and stamina use.
Lycan Curse Dealing damage builds bloodlust faster at low health; full bloodlust automatically triggers the transformation. Activating it replaces the weapon and other skills while increasing maximum health and granting stacking fire rate on enemy heroes.

Lane and fight plan

In human form, secure a useful firing distance before Slam Fire and follow a Boot Kick mark with a shot. Bola can hold a reachable target for your team. In wolf form, Mauling Leap strikes the first enemy, reduces bullet resistance, and applies spirit damage over time. Go For The Throat deals frontal melee damage and heals from damage dealt, with greater damage against low-health enemies. Tail Whack deals nearby spirit damage, disarms, and slows. Use these named skills rather than assuming ordinary wolf weapon attacks are the melee input.

Failures to avoid

The replacement weapon is Lycan Claws. Transformation has a base 15-second duration and 60-second cooldown before upgrades or scaling. Plan around the available transformation window. The tooltip establishes automatic casting at full bloodlust. Do not rely on low health alone to trigger the transformation. Keep an exit available when the wolf window is ending.

Scope
