Esiemo is an explosives expert, handling mines and bombs to destroy the environment around him. As a result, he boasts a high HP pool with a focus on dealing AoE damage, specializing in Fire. Here are Esiemo’s abilities in full:

  • Passive: Adventurous Habit
    • When Esiemo’s shields are depleted, he drops a bomb on the ground.
  • Active Skills:
    • Time Bomb: Fires a sticky bomb at a location. The bomb can stick to the ground or on enemy units and its explosion radius will be displayed.
    • Blast: Esiemo detonates all bombs, with their damage increased based on the quantity of deployed bombs.
    • Guided Landmine: Places a landmine on the ground with a large AoE. The mine will fly to the first enemy that walks within the AoE. If it hits terrain first, it sticks to the wall/ground.
    • Arche Explosion: Esiemo dashes forward and deals damage, knocking back enemies he collides with. Using the ability again while moving deals burst damage to enemies nearby. Enemies affected by Arche Explosion lose all their buffs. After use, Esiemo receives the Madness buff, granting a damage, movement speed, and weaken effect.
