Nyx

How to Play

A melee Duelist whose Ferality gains Attack Speed and Attack for each Rush triggered and refreshes Rush every 12 auto attacks. More Attack Speed shortens that cycle. Pairs with Reyna's The Champion, which counts Rush. Choose between The Keen-Eyed, a Backup that lets Duelists and Assassins execute, The Wild for five-hit combos, and The Spark for Stall debuffs.
