Roku is a creature of the unknown, Newmoon island, who spreads nightmares to his enemies. He works as an AoE peeling support, a pick support, or in some cases a tanky ability power mage.
Attributes: Support, Mage
Lore There once lived a strong man, named Roku. Roku led a tribe of fierce, merciless, and brutal warriors known as Azadi. The Azadi tribe feared no evil, but rather studied them. They took intrigue in these mysterious spirits, and often embarked to areas which would prove to be certain death to those who were weak. But the day came, when Roku had sang songs and told tales of a dark land known as Newmoon. The isle was said to only be seen during a New Moon, and those who do not leave within very short time, never get the chance to again. Feeling adventurous, Roku and his tribe prepared for the trip of their life.
Arriving at Newmoon, Roku could sense that he was not safe. The waters felt threatening, and unwelcoming to him and his tribe. A part of him felt it was best to return home, where his worries would be put to rest. Instead, he listened to his pride. He drove his warriors onwards into the opening rivers of Newmoon. As they traveled on the water, Roku gazed around the pitch black surroundings. He repeatedly spotted a mysterious figure, but only believed it to be a hallucination. Their travels on water came to an end, as they reached a cul-de-sac on the riverbed. The group dismounted their boats, and embarked deeper into the forests. The warriors grew confused and afraid after time. They had come across an old tree which had a note attached to it. “Get out!” it read, in seemingly painful and spiteful handwriting. Immediately after, the tree had spontaneously combust. The Azadi tribe stood in terror. A dark hole had grown from behind them, and they turned around to find a black figure with red eyes, slowly ascending from the black hole. The figure stood on the riser that was the cold ground.
The Azadi tribe stood, questioning the mysterious spirit. It only stared back. The stares ended, when a warrior had slowly approached and provoked the creature. The creature spawned several tendrils, each of which with a fatal touch. The Azadi tribe stood and fought to win this fight and save their very lives. The aftermath only ended with them losing both of which. The creature was not done however. It stared at Roku, and it approached him. Roku looked up, paraluzed around every part of his body. He glared back at the creature, before it caressed him. The creature had entered Roku’s body, and denied Roku any control. The death of Roku left only the spirit of the demon, and the body of the fallen leader. He was no longer Roku of the Azadi - he was Roku, the Nightmare of Newmoon.

Tips
Playing As Roku
- Roku is a powerful support, due to his good crowd control. He can also play the frontline.
- Roku is strongest in small areas because of his area of effect power.
- Roku is great with making quick picks if he has followup.
Playing Against Roku
- Always be aware of Roku’s marks. Being lured into them can prove deadly.

- Roku cannot sustain his team, however he can peel very well with Nightmare. Be aware of the risks before making a move.
