    • Pyke
  • Lore
    • A renowned harpooner from the slaughter docks of Bilgewater, Pyke should have met his death in the belly of a gigantic jaull-fish… and yet, he returned. Now, stalking the dank alleys and backways of his former hometown, he uses his new supernatural gifts to bring a swift and gruesome end to those who make their fortune by exploiting others—and a city that prides itself on hunting monsters now finds a monster hunting them.

This version is alright from a flavor standpoint in some ways, but I’m not sure how practical it is in practice. For more viable results, Phantom rogue’s probably good to emulate the ult through sneak attacks, tokens for your passive as well as resets and slinking around. Higher investment in Warlock can diminish sneak attacks but also lead to invisibility on demand if you want to lean more into your W.
