Directs the battle with fear and mesmerism

All the battlefield's a stage, and Ringmaster is a gleeful director. Controlling fights with a showman's flair, Ringmaster tames enemies with his fearsome whip and endless knives, ushers allies away from danger with his cunning escape act, and always draws a crowd to unwillingly witness the wonders of his mesmerizing wheel.

An adept assistant has nothing to fear within the confines of The Box. An amateur has...much darker prospects indeed.
E

Impalement Arts

Ringmaster throws one of his daggers to a precise point of his choosing. If he strikes an enemy, the dagger deals impact damage, briefly slows the unit hit, and causes them to bleed. The bleeding deals a percentage of the victim's maximum health in damage every second to heroes and flat damage per second to creeps.

Passed down through generations, it simply wouldn't be a Kettle Circus without the Great Cogliostro's signature trick.

Wheel of Wonder

Ringmaster rolls the Wheel of Wonder to the targeted location, knocking aside enemies along the way. After it reaches its target, enemies in range of the wheel take damage over time and are slowed by -50%.

Enemy heroes who face the wheel for more than 0.5 seconds are mesmerized and drawn towards it. The first enemy to be mesmerized triggers a timer for the wheel to explode. If the timer is not triggered, it will automatically explode after 4 seconds.
