Directs the battle with fear and mesmerism

All the battlefield's a stage, and Ringmaster is a gleeful director indeed. Controlling fights with a showman's flare, 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.

Ringmaster is still new to the spotlight. This facet doesn't do anything... yet.

Abilities

Dark Carnival Barker

Ringmaster receives a random single-use Dark Carnival Souvenir whenever an enemy hero dies within 925 units of him. Additional Souvenirs are held as charges.

If Ringmaster does not have a Souvenir when he respawns he will be granted one.

Souvenirs of the Dark Carnival include a Funhouse Mirror, a Strongman Tonic, and a Whoopee Cushion.

Tame the Beasts

CHANNELED - Ringmaster twirls his whip for up to %abilitychanneltime% second then cracks it. Whipped enemies are damaged and flee in fear from Ringmaster. Channel time exponentially increases damage and extends the fear duration, but reduces the radius.

From unhappy crowds to unruly acts, nothing persuades a pack of animals quite like the crack of the Ringmaster's whip.

Escape Act

Ringmaster packs himself or an allied hero into a mobile, extradimensional box. Boxed units gain phased movement, slow resistance, bonus magic resistance, and bonus movement speed. They are also untargetable, muted, silenced, and disarmed. The box will pop open after the effect expires or it moves more than 500 units away.

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

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 6 seconds.
