Jaalkan

The Partisan

The Celestials must answer for their lack of vigilance.

Jaalkan was a champion of good that lived in the far north and joined Xul’s rebellion against the Celestials with pure intent. Jaalkan posited that the continued suffering of men and beasts in Atlas were a direct result of the stagnation of the Celestial Rule. Their slow response to Withermoon’s horrors and their similar slow reaction to the existential threat of the great Eclipse moved Jaalkan to side with Xul, similarly jaded with the status quo.

The great respect Jaalkan commands caused his allegiance to the rebellion motivated other factions to join Xul’s crusade.

Now fighting as a partisan mostly on its own, Jaalkan still believes that freedom and justice must triumph.

Runes

Design Intent

Jaalkan is a versatile hunter that rewards quick decisions and accurate spell use. Jaalkan’s passive provides a constant bonus to attack damage and gives the dragon significantly more rage generation than most hunters.

Jaalkan’s offense comes from a combination of three spells, two of which alternate their castings with each other.

The first, Prison of Xul, calls back to the instigator of the rebellion against the celestials and freezes targets that it hits for several seconds, allowing Jaalkan to lock down troublesome towers while blasting away at the main thread.

Jaalkan’s Call of Justice spell alternates between a white single target damage spell, Call of Freedom, and the base spell, Call of Justice, a red single target damage spell. Both spells deal enough damage to destroy a tower and provide a small amount of healing. However, the red Call provides more and comes with a longer cooldown. Getting the most out of the red call spell considerably increases Jaalkan’s damage output and survivability.

Like many hunters, Jaalkan relies on a cloak to evade damage. Jaalkan’s Counterstrike spell is a rapid-use variant of cloak that replenishes ammo and offers a significant increase in damage to Jaalkan’s attacks. This bonus adds to the dragon’s passive damage increase when it is active.
