What Helcurt is bad at
- Low HP and no sustain outside Prowler's passive regen, which only works while undetected
- Vision items and true-sight effects strip his single biggest advantage entirely
- Falls off in the late game against tanky, vision-stacked comps that can out-scale his burst
- Committing to Dark Night Falls without a kill lined up wastes his best team utility
