Xio

“Za warudo!“

A combo assassin that balances getting up close and personal with the occasional flurry of knives from afar. Most notable for gaining additional hits with his attacks after successfully shielding, and making all of his abilities Free Actions during his ultimate.

When Xio deals damage to an enemy, he heals himself for 4. This can activate once per enemy for each ability used.
