Putress

Grand Apothecary

Putress is a high risk high reward Assassin who plague enemies with his portable fogger. His own plague damages him, forcing him to balance aggression against survival. He can convert his accumulated infection into a protective shield with Antidote and Debuff with Miasma

His fogger (Q) applies Plague quickly, dealing a burst damage over time, but it's risky, as Putress must be a bit closer (Inspired by Singed from LOL)
Pestilent Miasma (W) is his CC
Antidote (E) is how he survives
