Overall
Ezizh layers two crowd control states — nightmare and insanity — to lock down the enemy team. Insanity shreds enemy tenacity while boosting allied tenacity, making his team harder to CC and enemies easier to CC. His ultimate transforms the battlefield, locking enemy ultimates and firing repeated shockwaves, with allies triggering bonus shockwaves by using their own ults. His chain stun always hits maximum targets during this phase. When Ezizh himself gets CC'd, the source gets trapped in a nightmare, punishing enemies for targeting him. Insane enemies take escalating damage and get terrified if hit again. With his awakening skill active, Ezizh periodically enters an invulnerable dream state where he casts freely with boosted haste and damage. The cooldown shortens each time an ally resists a control effect — which happens constantly because his insanity keeps pumping allied tenacity.
