Biography

Two teenage runaways found themselves burdened with powerful abilities after being experimented on. Even though they came from completely opposite backgrounds, Tandy and Tyrone had to learn to work together to now reach the full potential of their abilities together and survive.

Tyrone, the Cloak, can access the Darkforce Dimension and use it to bend space, teleporting himself and others. Tandy, the Dagger, can instead manipulate light to create blades that cut like razors, but also to heal. While they were traversing the Darkforce Dimension, the Timestream Entanglement caused them to be teleported to a strange place in time, where the Empire of Eternal Night controls New York. They figured out a way to work with others to try and put things back as they should be.

Abilities

Dagger:

Lightforce Dagger (LClick) – Unleash a bouncing Lightforce Dagger to damage enemies and heal nearby allies. The projectile features an attraction effect, pulling in the closest target to the crosshair and creating a spell field upon impact. This spell field provides healing effects. Very easy to hit, but doesn’t do much damage. If you are dueling someone I would suggest switching to Cloak. It has a splash effect, so hitting one of your teammates will heal another if they are close enough.

DAMAGE	15 damage per round
HEALING PER HIT	10 per hit
AREA OF EFFECT HEALING	18 per hit
RANGE	8m spherical radius
FIRE RATE	2.27 hits per second
AMMO	12

Dagger Storm (RClick) – Launch a volley of daggers, creating a Healing Over Time field in the impact area. Amazing to save yourself and also to provide extra heals for Vanguard’s mid-fight.

HEALING AMOUNT	55/s
DURATION	6s
RANGE	5m spherical radius
COOLDOWN	15s

VEIL OF LIGHTFORCE (E) – Deploy a Veil of Lightforce to heal allies upon touch and grant them a Healing Boost. Again, they are probably the best Strategists for healing Vanguards due to the AOE healing they do. Using it in mid-fight will make your teammates so much easier to heal.

• SHADOW’S EMBRACE (LShift) – Switch to Cloak.
  

Cloak:

• DARKFORCE CLOAK (LClick) – inflict continuous damage on an enemy. It has an auto-lock, so fast flanking Duelistis will have a hard time escaping your damage.
  
• DARK TELEPORTATION (RClick) – Enshroud nearby allies in the Darkforce Dimension, plunging them into the Phased state, making them untargetable and invisible to enemies, and granting them a Movement Boost. It is one of the best abilities for escaping high bursts of damage, and it doesn’t have that long of a cooldown at all for such a high-value ability. One more thing about it is that u can use it to get to the high ground or some difficult spots due to free movement in this form.
  
• TERROR CAPE (E) – Deploy a Veil of Darkforce to damage enemies upon touch, applying Blind to narrow their sight and Vulnerability to amplify damage received. This ability makes them from Top to God Tier sometimes, because if you put this debuff on the enemy Vanguard it’s so easy to kill them, making the fight one-sided.
  
• LIGHT’S EMBRACE (LShift) – Switch to Dagger.

Both:

• ETERNAL BOND (Q) – Perform three rapid dashes, healing allies, and damaging enemies along the path. One of the best ults in the game. Using your Dagger Storm before it on the same spot and going all 3 times in the same spot, can outheal anything in this game.
  
• FROM SHADOW TO LIGHT – Cloak & Dagger can inject light and dark energy into Moon Knight to create a Light & Dark Realm where Moon Knight can become Invisible.

Strengths

One of, if not the best Strategist for healing grouped up teammates, making it very good for rush comps. Their ult can deny a whole point for the enemy team so if used in the right moments can be very clutch. Using your TERROR CAPE (E) on the target that your team is shooting is gonna win you fights, just remember to call it for your teammates.

Weaknesses

It’s hard for you to deal with flying characters, so calling for aid sometimes could be useful, and know that your DARK TELEPORTATION (RClick) can be used to climb some high ground making them in range for you to deal damage.

Counters

Iron Man, Hela, Hawkeye

All of these like to keep distance from you, and that’s what creates the problem. Using cover and losing their line of sight is the best possible solution, be constantly from where are they shooting.

Tips and Tricks

Change forms depending on the situation. Your abilities have separate cooldowns for both of them, so never be afk.

Use your TERROR CAPE (E) on the target your team is shooting. Try to put it on high priority target if you can.

Your ult can also be used like defensive ult, just go through the same path all 3 times.
