Akama

Elder Sage of the Broken

The elder sage Akama is the leader of both the Ashtongue tribe and the elite of said tribe, the Ashtongue Deathsworn, a faction of Broken draenei supposedly in the service of Illidan Stormrage. Offered a chance at revenge against the orcs who decimated his people, Akama allied himself with the night elf/demon hybrid and aided in the overthrow of Magtheridon, only to later find that Illidan was no better than the pit lord. To all outward appearances, Akama remained a loyal servant of Illidan and led his Ashtongue Deathsworn in his service — but away from his prying eyes, Akama sought to end Illidan's reign.

Combat Trait

1
[D] Lodged Kamas
Akama throws Kamas as his Basic Attacks, which lodge themselves in the enemy for up to 20 seconds. Only 2 Kamas can stay in the same enemy at once. Attacking an enemy at melee range while they have Kamas in them will tear them out, dealing 30 bonus damage per kama and granting Akama 60% bonus Attack Speed on his next 2 Basic Attacks. This has a 15 second cooldown on each enemy.

Repeatable Quest: Killing an enemy within 1.5 seconds of tearing out Kamas from them permanently increases the bonus damage of tearing out by 1, or 5 if it's a Hero.

Primary Abilities

1
[Q] Shadow Strikes
Cooldown: 8 seconds
Mana: 40

Akama infuses his Kamas with dark energy, increasing the damage of his next 2 Basic Attacks by 80. If both Basic Attacks hit the same enemy the enemy takes an additional 30 damage and is slowed by 40% for 2 seconds.

Heroic Abilities

[R1] Shade of Akama
Cooldown: 100 seconds
Mana: 90

Akama manifests the dark portion of his soul into the Shade of Akama for 20 seconds, which has 75% of Akama's maximum Health and can be controlled by reactivating this Ability. The Shade's Basic Attacks do not deal damage or lodge Kamas, but instead apply a debuff to the enemy. Akama's Basic Attacks consume this debuff, dealing an additional 5% of the target's maximum Health as bonus damage. Activating Shadow Strikes will make the Shade's next 2 Basic Attacks deal 90 damage each.
