  Vicious Retrieval

  Buff

  When Faramis's skills deal damage to enemy heroes and summoned units, they leave behind Soul Fragments. Absorbing a Soul Fragment recovers 100 (+50% Total Magic Power) HP and grants 2 <1030> (up to 40 stacks).
  Upon death, he consumes the absorbed Soul Fragments to reduce the respawn timer, each reducing the timer by 3% (up to 90%).
  He can gain up to 1 Soul Fragment from the same enemy hero using skills every 4s. Enemies that die around Faramis also have a chance to drop Soul Fragments.

  Nether Realm

  Death Immunity · Buff

  CD: 90 Mana Cost: 150

  Faramis turns his surroundings into the Nether Realm for 6s. Allied heroes within (including himself) enter the Specter state, gaining 400 (+ 10 (+5% Total Magic Power)%) extra HP and 50% extra Movement Speed for 1s. When the Specter state breaks, heroes within clear all debuffs and enter a brief Resurrection state for 1.3s. The Specter state immediately ends if the allied hero leaves the Nether Realm.

Hero Relations

Synergizes With

Faramis works well with heroes that are designed to dive into the enemy, such as Leomord and Martis, as he'll be able to maximize the life-saving effect of his Ultimate.

Strong Against

Faramis' ability to temporarily prevent teammates from being killed makes him a good pick against heroes that go all-in to burst down a target, like Saber and Eudora.

Weak Against

Faramis is countered by high mobility heroes that are difficult for him to catch with his 1st Skill, such as Novaria and Pharsa.
