The Stray
Nyx
“Yeah. I know I'm small. Get over it.”
Nyx "The Stray" is a Duelist hero of the The Hunt guild with 800 HP, 38 Defense and 1 Range, with the passive ability "Ferality".
Notes
A duelist who snowballs by refreshing Rush over and over. Ferality stacks Attack Speed and Attack on every Rush (5) trigger and refreshes her Rush skills every 12 auto attacks — the more she swings, the more often it fires.
The Wild unleashes a 5-hit combo that leaps to the next enemy on kills; with momentum she can collapse a whole board alone. The Keen-Eyed, which executes low-HP enemies, supports all assassins and duelists from the backup slot. Rush-trigger relics translate directly into her tempo.

Lore
Current work
Nyx slipped past three rift lockdowns before The Hunt gave up chasing the kid and signed them instead. Now the youngest breaker on any roster: too quick to catch, too vicious to ignore. Nyx has no family on file, no address, no home. They don't trust The Hunt enough to sleep at their guild house. But every time there's a fight, the kid is always already there.
Motivation
Nyx doesn't follow guilds but people worth trusting - and hasn't found one yet. Be the first, and the kid stops being a stray.
