Janus

Splited Soul

Janus, the Splited Soul, is a melee hybrid hero, that can alternate his main attribute between strenght and intelligence by using his spells. As his main attribute shifts his spells suffer slightly changes. In the Red Soul form he is a great tank, while in his Blue Soul form he excels in spellcasting. He can attack enemys from safe range using Splitted ***ult, together with his Scarlet Might/Indigo Focus he can steal both health and mana as well as armor e magic resistence in one go. He has also a long range nuke using Crimson Blast/Azure Missle to controll enemies position and also get some farm. His ultime Soul Fusion unlocks his full potential dealing huge amounts of hybrid damage and taking advantages of having two main stats.
