The Analyst
Gustav
“I've been wanting to test a scenario like this.”
Gustav "The Analyst" is a Mystic hero of the Aegis Global guild with 700 HP, 30 Defense and 3 Range, wielding the active ability "Blizzard".
Notes
A zone-control mystic who protects allies while spreading Frost. Blizzard runs for 5 seconds, applying Frost plus damage to enemies and Shields to allies every second. Its 150 max mana is heavy, but with 8 Mana Regen and a Stall comp his area control is second to none.
The Avalanche grows Mana Regen and Magic every time a Shard is generated, plugging him straight into a Shard economy (Tilly, Niklas, Shard relics). For a defensive lean, The Glacier boosts the Blizzard Shields. As a Frost applier he also bundles well with Frost-trigger relics.

Lore
Current work
He came up through academia, with three published papers before he turned twenty one, and Aegis hired him straight out of his post-doc. He runs the numbers behind crystal refining, making each batch yield more usable energy than the last, and his models are why Aegis's supply chain has stayed a step ahead of every competitor for six straight quarters.
Motivation
He wants a new challenge. Yours presents an interesting scenario. He'd like to see how it plays out.
