Akama

The Betrayed

Akama is a melee assassin hero from the wow universe. Akama sought peace and freedom for his people and the Temple of Karabor. He allied himself with Illidan and cleared the Temple of the pit lord Magtheridon and his demons, but was was betrayed by Illidan who refused to relinquish the Temple as promised, taking it as his new base in Outland. Akama serves Illidan, leading his Ashtongue Deathsworn in his name. In secret, he bides his time in order to find a way to regain control of his Temple, and end the betrayer himself.

Akama is a sustained damage assassin that can fight for short duration while stealthed. He can shut down mobile heroes, but lacks sustain and good escapes. He pairs well with supports with disable effects, heroes that can rescue him once he is in danger, and with other assassins to eliminate enemy heroes quickly.
