Lore

The last man standing in Wolfsden Tavern, Ymir the Tusk, had just won a brawl that took out half the town. The barkeep, horrified at the wreckage, proposed an even bigger challenge: go find the largest battle you can, pick a side, and win it. The prize? The next round of drinks. Ymir, never one to back down, took the bet. Now he seeks battle wherever it rages, testing himself against the chaos of war.

Ice Shards

Point Target

Tusk compresses shards of ice into a ball of frozen energy that damages all enemies it comes in contact with. When the ball reaches its target destination the shards are released, creating a barrier that lasts for 4 seconds.
