## Skills

### Contract: Transform (Shield)

Every 8s, Aldous gains a shield equal to 350 (+ 3 per **Soul Steal** stack) for 3s on his next Basic Attack. He also gains 60% Movement Speed for 1s.

### Contract: Soul Steal (Damage, Buff)

_CD: 4   Mana Cost: 45_

Aldous enhances his next Basic Attack to deal 200 **(+100% Total Physical Attack)** (+ 3 per **Soul Steal** stack) **Physical Damage**.

Killing a siege minion with this attack grants 12 **Soul Steal** stacks; killing any other non-hero unit grants 5 stacks. Hitting an enemy hero grants an extra 5 stack(s), while killing one grants 12 (up to 1000 stacks).

This attack deals 300% extra Base Damage to minions and creeps. Aldous also gains 6 stack(s) when allied units eliminate a nearby enemy siege minion, and 2 stack(s) when they eliminate any other nearby non-hero unit.

Aldous gains 20% Movement Speed while moving toward enemy heroes during this skill.

### Contract: Explosion (Buff, CC)

_CD: 12   Mana Cost: 80_

Aldous assumes a defensive stance, gaining 30% Damage Reduction for 2s or until canceled.
He then deals 200 **(+20% Total Physical Attack)**-400 **(+40% Total Physical Attack)** **Physical Damage** to nearby enemies and stuns them for 0.5-1s (scales with defensive stance duration).

### Contract: Chase Fate (Mobility, Damage)

_CD: 60   Mana Cost: 150_

Aldous gains vision of all enemy heroes for 5s.
**Use Again**: During this time, he dashes toward an enemy hero, dealing 250 (+ 8% target's **<1005>**) **Physical Damage** and knocking the target back for 1s.
Aldous can interrupt the target's Recall while dashing.

## Matchups and synergies

**Works well with**: [Balmond](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/balmond.md), [Bruno](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/bruno.md)

Aldous works well with heroes that are strong in the early game so that he can farm efficiently, such as Balmond and Bruno.

**Strong against**: [Zilong](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/zilong.md), [Leomord](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/leomord.md)

Aldous is strong against heroes who cannot pressure him in the early game, so that he can easily build up the damage buff for his 1st Skill. Such as Zilong and Leomord.

**Weak against**: [Martis](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/martis.md), [Dyrroth](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/dyrroth.md)

Aldous is countered by heroes who are strong in the early game. They would make it very difficult for Aldous to build up the damage buff he needs. Heroes like Martis and Dyrroth are good examples here.
