Overall
Baden fights alongside a wooden double that mirrors his abilities and receives amplified versions of any stat changes he gains. The double uses all of his skills except his ultimate, effectively doubling his battlefield presence. If Baden dies, he reincarnates through the clone, inheriting most of his buffs and recovering health — giving him multiple lives across a fight. His kit revolves around marking enemies for amplified damage from both himself and the double, then imprisoning them with vines that block all healing and drain energy. Imprisoned enemies who receive healing take damage instead, and the drained energy feeds back to Baden. With his awakening skill active, controlled enemies who take enough cumulative damage trigger the wooden double to pulse area damage around itself. When the double is finally destroyed, it releases an amplified burst, turning its death into one last offensive payoff.
