Overall
Odysseus is a dragon-form tank who deploys Nethermaul as a persistent autonomous weapon while protecting his team through Scale Oath. At battle start he permanently transforms — immune to displacement — and Nethermaul begins dealing constant AoE damage, slamming into enemy clusters each time Odysseus attacks. Slams build Kinetic Energy, which ramps normal attack damage for both Odysseus and Nethermaul, boosts his attack rating, and spreads Attack Speed to nearby allies. His three rotating normal attacks each apply different CC — tenacity reduction, knockdown, or a wide-area stun — while excess Attack Speed converts into Dragonspeak Amplification and Physical Pierce shreds enemy Dragonspeak Resist. His ultimate invokes Sunshade weather, stacking frontline Damage Resist and backline normal attack damage with each cast. Scale Oath taunts the highest-damage enemy and reduces incoming damage, scaling with surviving allies and extending to the whole team at battle start. Nethermaul can block fatal hits for Odysseus, refreshing Scale Oath team-wide with healing each time.

Passive: At the start of battle, Odysseus transforms into a dragon to continue the battle. While in dragon form, Odysseus is immune to being knocked back or knocked into the air. Active: Odysseus deals damage equal to 800% of his Attack Rating to all enemies and invokes "Sunshade" weather. While Sunshade is active, allied frontline heroes gain 30 Damage Resist, and allied backline heroes have their normal attack damage boosted by 90%. Each time Odysseus uses his Ultimate, the Damage Resist and normal attack damage buffs are increased by 5 and 10%, respectively (capped at 6 increases).(Element)
Odysseus rotates between 3 different normal attacks, each launching an AoE attack and inflicting various effects. Wing Slash: Odysseus deals damage equal to 200% of his Attack Rating to nearby enemy units and reduces their Tenacity by 20 points for 6s. Tail Sweep: Odysseus deals damage equal to 200% of his Attack Rating to nearby enemy units and knocks them down. Piercing Dive: Odysseus deals damage equal to 350% of his Attack Rating to enemy units in a wide range around himself and stuns them for 2s. Odysseus' Attack Speed is fixed at 0, and his attack frequency cannot change. Any extra Attack Speed gained during battle is converted into Dragonspeak Amplification at a ratio of 2 points of Dragonspeak Amplification for every 3 points of Attack Speed.
At the start of battle, Odysseus combines his Verdict Hammer and Vowshield to form "Nethermaul", which remains on the battlefield and deals damage equal to 120% of his Attack Rating to nearby enemy units every 1s. These are considered normal attacks. Each time Odysseus attacks actively, Nethermaul will slam into the area with the highest concentration of enemy units, dealing Dragonspeak Damage equal to 400% of Attack Rating to enemy units in a wide range around itself.
Odysseus taunts the enemy hero that has dealt the highest total damage and applies Scale Oath to himself, reducing the damage he takes by 30% for 5s.
Nethermaul
Enhances: Silent VerdictWhile Sunshade weather is active, Nethermaul's slam range is increased, and each slam pulls enemies within range slightly closer.
For every 5 points of Attack Speed Odysseus has, the cooldown duration for Nethermaul dealing damage to nearby units is reduced by 10%.
For every 6 normal attacks performed by Draconis heroes, Nethermaul will slam an extra time.
For every 1 stack of Kinetic Energy Nethermaul has, Odysseus' Attack Rating is increased by 15%. Nethermaul will block incoming fatal damage for Odysseus. Each time the block is triggered, the Attack Rating boost Odysseus gains from Kinetic Energy will be reduced by 30%. For every 3 stacks of Kinetic Energy gained, Nethermaul can block an extra time (capped at 3 blocks per battle).
Each time an allied hero within range of Nethermaul deals damage to an enemy unit, Nethermaul will also deal damage to the target and targets behind it, based on the number of Kinetic Energy stacks. For each stack, Nethermaul deals Dragonspeak Damage equal to 50% of Attack Rating. This effect can damage a max of 2 targets. If the allied hero is Draconis, then the Dragonspeak Damage from each stack of Kinetic Energy is increased by 30%.
Enhances: Twilight Legacy
While Scale Oath is active, Odysseus will reflect 40% of incoming damage. Odysseus' attacks cannot be dodged. For every 60 points of Accuracy he has, the damage reduction from Scale Oath will be increased by 1% (capped at a max increase of 15%).
Upon entering the battlefield, Odysseus uses Oath of Sin and applies Scale Oath to all allied heroes (without the taunt), reducing the damage allied heroes take. Each time Nethermaul blocks damage for Odysseus, all allied heroes gain Scale Oath (without the taunt), reducing the damage they take while restoring health equal to 60% of Odysseus' max health to all allied heroes.
Every 1 stack of Kinetic Energy will grant allied heroes within range of Nethermaul 6 points of Attack Speed (capped at 15 stacks). Every 1 stack of Kinetic Energy will cause Odysseus' and Nethermaul's normal attacks to deal an extra 50% Dragonspeak Damage.
Odysseus takes 30% less damage from enemy units he's not taunting. The portion of damage reduced is stored, and when the shield expires, 100% of the stored damage is dealt to nearby targets.
