With an attack range of 1, they fight from the front line. Base Health 875 sits clearly above the roster average of 805. Mana regeneration is the standard 4 per second, from a Max Mana pool of 105.

The current snapshot is client 0.5.9 · build 25323618. Entries below were cross-checked between the locally extracted 0.5.2 (build 24436268) ↔ 0.5.4 (build 24690909) and 0.5.4 ↔ 0.5.8 (build 25188298) balancing sheets and Leyline's official Steam patch notes for 0.5.3 – 0.5.8. Entries tagged 0.5.5-0.5.8 cannot be pinned to a single patch from data.

  • 0.5.3 The Bold (specialization): The on-cast bonus Shields effect now only applies after a Stall gate (new Stall clause in the description text). verified in extracted data
  • 0.5.3 The Intrepid (specialization): Mini-rework: the first effect now grants permanent Attack and lasting Shields on Crit (description fully rewritten with new variables). verified in extracted data
  • 0.5.4 Base stats: Base Attack Speed 0.38 → 0.39 and Defense 40 → 41. verified in extracted data
  • 0.5.4 Resolute Strike (signature active): Attack scaling on the damage 100% → 150%. verified in extracted data
  • 0.5.4 The Intrepid (specialization): Rush Duration 8 → 6. verified in extracted data
  • 0.5.5 The Bold (specialization): Stall gate reverted 20 → 15 — Leyline states it had been set to 20 in 0.5.4 by a technical error and is now back to its intended value. verified in extracted data
  • 0.5.5 Stun immunity while casting (behavior): Kai is one of the five heroes that are now immune to stuns while casting their active ability. Leyline's design notes expect this to be roughly net neutral for him: he no longer gains an extra round of Shields from his active if he was stunned mid-cast and immediately recasts. per official notes

The Shotcaller

Subtitle

Don't have all the fun without me.

Current Guild

One of the guild's shotcallers. He leads on charm more than rank, and keeps the team together when a fight turns. He made his name soloing a guardian before his squad could catch up, and he's been pushing past what the playbook recommends ever since.

Motivation

The Hunt does steady work, and steady bores him. Yours looks like the one that won't play it safe.
