Designer Note

A master assassin wielding lethal mana shards.

Invisible Armor

liquipedia ↗

Aamon enters the Camouflage state each time he hits an enemy with a skill, during which he cannot be targeted, restores HP, and gains a burst of extra Movement Speed. The Camouflage state will end on Aamon's next attack, after which he can perform enhanced Basic Attacks within the next few seconds. Each enhanced Basic Attack reduces the cooldowns of Aamon's other skills.

Soul Shards

liquipedia ↗

Passive: Aamon charges his armor each time he casts a skill or hits an enemy with a skill or enhanced Basic Attack. At 5 charges, Aamon throws 5 shards at the target on his next attack, dealing damage. The shards will then scatter around the target. Active: Aamon throws a shard at a nearby enemy, dealing damage.

Slayer Shards

liquipedia ↗

Aamon throws a shard forward, dealing damage to the first non-minion enemy hit and slowing them. The shard will then return to Aamon immediately. If the shard fails to hit an enemy, it'll return to Aamon after a short delay and allow him to enter the Camouflage state.

Endless Shards

liquipedia ↗

After a short period of channeling, Aamon throws 8-25 shards at a designated enemy, dealing high Magic Damage. The number of shards thrown increases with Aamon's armor charges and the shards on the ground. The damage dealt increases with the target's lost HP.
