If the targeted enemy reaches 0 HP immediately or within a few seconds, Ernesto will gain Momentum stacks and apply Distract again to the lowest current HP enemy. 

+Fantastic Damage

 

Starburst Joy

Every time an enemy reaches 0 HP, Ernesto de la Cruz rejoices at the fireworks, granting himself Skill Power per 0 HP reached, and becoming Overloaded for a few seconds. If an ally is KO’d, Ernesto instead gains Skill Power for a few seconds and all Fantastic Damage will always Crit for the next few seconds.

When a combined total of enemies reaches 0 HP or allies being KO’d has occurred, Ernesto becomes Immune to Disables for a few seconds.

Overloaded allies have their Skill Levels increased by a certain amount.

+Skill Power

 

Fear Charge

Ernesto de la Cruz runs terrified through the battlefield, dealing Fantastic Damage and Knocking Back enemies as they get hit. For each enemy knocked back, Ernesto will gain Determination stacks and Empowered stacks.

Broken Blessing

Ernesto de la Cruz loves being the center of attention. While Ernesto is the “Most Wanted”, he now Heals himself for a percent of his damage dealt and his Basic Attacks Silence enemies for a few seconds. Enemy targets that are Immune to Silence get their Max HP reduced by a percent for a few seconds.

If Ernesto is not the “Most Wanted” ally, his Basic Attacks and Skills deal bonus Fantastic Damage and becomes Energized.

While Energized by this skill, Ernesto gains extra Energy each time he Basic Attacks.

+Bonus Fantastic Damage



Radiant Sombrero

If Ernesto reaches a certain percent of HP he Heals some HP per second for a few seconds and Cleanses himself, forcing the ally with the lowest current HP to Distract the enemy team for a few seconds. If the ally is KO’d during this effect, the Distract is applied to the lowest current HP ally and Ernesto Heals for a percent of his Max HP, becoming Invincible for a few seconds, and Increasing his Damage by a percent for a few seconds.
