Main Role: Rusher

Sub Role: Fighter

Impetus is a gladiator-like fighter that uses a warhammer and a buckler in combat. Impetus never lets the enemy go, hounding them with it's impressive array of dashes and it's unique Lock-On ability. Impetus, in return, sacrifices much of it's damage for this mobility.

[Weapon Combo]: Impetus swipes the warhammer right, then bashes with the pommel, then strikes with the pike-end, then finally dashes forward and punches with the buckler. All of Impetus's basic attacks move them forward. 70-80 damage

[Passive]: (Lock On): Whenever Impetus hits an enemy, that enemy is locked on. This unlocks some features for Impetus.

- Impetus's camera focuses on the enemy, similar to lock-on systems from other games.

- Impetus can dash left or right by double tapping A or D and spending 15 mana each dash.

- If at any time Impetus is hit by an enemy other than the one they locked onto, Impetus loses their lock on the enemy.

Impetus can only trigger this passive once every 5 seconds.

[E]: (Guard -): Impetus rushes forward and attempts to stop the momentum of an attack with their buckler. If this parries an attack, Impetus stops the attack and counters with a pommel strike. Impetus can use this ability as long as they have 15 mana.

[Z]: (Buckler Bash): Impetus runs forward and jabs the opponent with their buckler, dealing immense knockback. Impetus can follow this up by pressing Z again to dash to their opponent's location. Costs 20 mana and has a cooldown of 9 seconds.

[X]: (Harrying Strikes): Impetus rapidly spins and swings their warhammer 5 times in front of them. Each strike grants Impetus a 3% movement speed buff for 4 seconds. Costs 35 mana and has a cooldown of 5 seconds.

[C]: (Punishing Blow): Impetus jumps forward and slams their warhammer onto the ground, causing a shockwave that knocks enemies back. Enemies that are directly hit by the warhammer are staggered. Costs 30 mana and has a cooldown of 7 seconds.

[V]: (Hurricane): Impetus starts to build up momentum, then spins with their warhammer for 5 seconds, dealing rapid damage that ignores defense. At the end of the attack, a damaging whirlwind is released, knocking enemies away from Impetus and inflicting them with a 10% defense debuff. After this attack, Impetus loses 20% attack for 5 seconds. Costs 50 mana and has a cooldown of 19 seconds.
