Overall
Veithael converts energy into a self-reinforcing damage loop. He passively generates energy while free but bleeds it under crowd control — and control also wipes his stacking attack buff, making him a hero who thrives when uninterrupted. His ultimate activates Energy Burst mode, where every subsequent skill spends energy to blast all frontal enemies with max-health-based damage. Each burst permanently reduces incoming damage, so the longer he cycles, the tankier he gets. A charge-and-return strike heals him and stuns; a passive counter negates incoming control effects by interrupting enemies and healing per target hit. Energy Bursts triggered by different skills carry unique bonuses — extended stuns, permanent stat shredding, or bonus health-scaled damage. He starts with an inflated health pool that shrinks as he takes hits, and that bonus health drives his attack power and dodge while it lasts.
