Arlott
BTierDash-chaining duelist who resets his gap closer on marked targets
FighterAssassinEXP LaneDeals physical
Arlott's Demon Gaze automatically marks a nearby enemy hero every 7 seconds, and hitting that mark with Vengeance deals double damage and instantly refreshes the dash's cooldown, letting him chain from target to target across a single fight. Dauntless Strike's stun and Final Slash's reveal round out a kit built entirely around denying an enemy the chance to disengage.

Strengths
- Vengeance refreshes its own cooldown and deals double damage on a Marked target, letting him chain dashes across a fight
- Demon Gaze automatically marks a nearby enemy every 7 seconds, guaranteeing a valid reset target in most engagements
- Dauntless Strike's stun is strongest at the outer edge of its AoE, punishing enemies who misjudge his engage range
- Final Slash pushes and reveals enemies, denying stealth escapes and confirming kills on fleeing low-HP targets
Weaknesses
- Vengeance's reset only triggers off Marked targets, so an isolated enemy with no nearby allies limits his chain-dash potential
- Low base durability for a fighter means an interrupted dash chain can leave him exposed to a burst punish
- Dauntless Strike's full stun duration requires precise spacing at max range, which is easy to misjudge in a live fight
- His damage leans heavily on landing the Vengeance reset, so missing it against evasive targets cuts the whole combo short
Skills
Max Vengeance first for cooldown and reset uptime, then Dauntless Strike, taking the ultimate at every level it's available.

Playing Arlott well
- 1
Let Demon Gaze mark a second nearby enemy before committing Vengeance so you always have a guaranteed reset target mid-fight
- 2
Aim Dauntless Strike so the target is caught at the outer edge of the AoE for the full one-second stun instead of the shorter inner one
- 3
Use Final Slash to reveal and push fleeing low-HP survivors rather than opening a fight with it
- 4
Chain Vengeance resets across multiple marked enemies in a teamfight instead of dumping the full combo into a single target
