Aldous Skills
Passive – Contract: Transform
Aldous’s subsequent Basic attack deals additional damage and becomes a shield, providing durability.
Skill 1 – Contract: Soul Steal
Aldous amplifies his basic attack, dealing physical damage. Destroying units grants stacks, permanently increasing the damage. Enhanced basic attacks deal significantly more damage to minions or creeps.
Skill 2 – Contract: Explosion
Aldous adopts a defensive posture, ignoring basic attacks and dealing physical damage to surrounding opponents. Cancelling the defensive stance or when it expires stuns nearby opponents.
