Draw a sigil sphere in front of you and then leap backwards as it explodes, damaging and slowing enemies caught in it.
Prepare to deflect the next incoming attack. On a successful deflection, briefly become invulnerable and target an enemy hero to dash towards them, stunning them and reducing their Melee Resist. Press Ability 2 to select a target. Does not trigger against trooper or neutral damage.
Perform a series of lunges in any direction, delivering piercing stabs ahead of you. Hold your ability key to time your attacks, dealing more damage the longer it's held. Releasing your attack during the perfect window deals maximum damage. Press Ability 3 to re-cast.
Charge up and perform a long range slash. Struck enemies cannot take action or heal and are stuck in slow motion. When this effect expires, they suffer devastating damage, dealing bonus damage against half-health enemies. While in slow motion, Apollo is invulnerable and enemies take reduced damage. Hold Ability 4 or to delay the cast.
Names, descriptions, values and upgrades are the game’s own text and numbers at level 1, before items and spirit scaling. Some descriptions show the damage type without the number, as in game; the value is in the table under each ability. Data

Lore
A land of beauty, tradition and conflict; North Ixia is no stranger to brutal political violence. So when Apollo was told that it was for his own safety he was being sent to New York for school, he knew the situation was serious.
Adjusting to life at Blackmore Academy didn't come easy to Apollo. His school was supposed to be filled with The Cursed Apple's best and brightest but all he saw, with few exceptions, was a sea of aggressive mediocrity. Electing not to waste his time with frivolous things like parties and dances, he instead put his energy on the piste, where he rigorously trains as captain of the Blackmore fencing team.
However, at the end of the day Apollo does not fret too much on the tedium of life in New York. He knows that eventually the time will come when his father will call on him to come home and he will get to show that he is worthy of wielding his family's ancestral blade.
