How to play
Dark Seer is an Intelligence hero whose utility and control shape fights from the backline. Look to initiate fights — your kit is built to start engagements on your terms. Built-in escape tools mean you can play aggressively and bail when things go sideways. Your disables and utility are most valuable when enabling your cores to land kills.
