Great for New Players

"One day my body will be returned to me."

Dynamo is a bizarre amalgamation of quantum mechanics and dying stardust. His scholarly attitude hides his battlefield-warping abilities, displacing enemies en masse while keeping his team healthy, armed, and ready to kill. Able to bounce enemies up in the air while teleporting his allies away from danger, his own combat skills are quite capable, able to run at great speed and sustain, firing blasts of energy into his enemies. And of course, his Singularity will simply stun all enemies in an area - a feat that easily wins fights.

Bio

Dynamo

Locks down the enemy team

Dynamo keeps himself and his allies healthy while waiting for his moment. Few things can warp a team fight more than a well-coordinated use of Singularity.

Background

A Fate's Tale

As a Scientist, Professor Dynamo always had an inquisitive mind. So when a rift in space and time opened up in Central Park he was the first on the scene to investigate - and while he expected such a majestic sight to be life changing, he was thinking in a more metaphorical way as opposed to having his body atomized and reduced to a tiny dying star.

But while his body is gone, his spirit and lust for knowledge lives on. A tenured professor at Columbia College, Dynamo looks to learn more about his condition while maintaining his class load, after all; he has future minds to inspire.

Trivia

Dynamo's Kinetic Pulse creates simplified versions of the constellations Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer at the end of the wave.
According to voiclines in the game files, Dynamo is a Metaphysacist who teaches classes in: Metaphysics, Astral Physics, Quantum Entanglement and Theoretical Abstract Differential Geometry.
Dynamo was originally concepted to be a pizza delivery guy named Lil' Dynamo.
