Show/Hide Tooltips
Slices through his enemies with precise strikes.
What laid under the Juggernaut's mask, none could say. The last of his kind, Yurnero carries alone the martial traditions of his native isle, now sunken forever beneath the waves. Dancing with his Blade, the Juggernaut elevates swordplay to an art form, Swiftly Slashing foes in an unstoppable Blade Fury, striking the most vulnerable spots. With skills honed to such perfection, Yurnero can keep on Slashing and Dashing between opponents while giving them absolutely no chance to retaliate even in the slightest. Their only option to escape this onslaught is to book it as quickly as possible. After eviscerating his foes, Yurnero places his portable mobile Healing Ward that emits meditative energies to revitalize himself and nearby allies.

Bio

[edit]
By the Visage of Vengeance, which drowned in the Isle of Masks, I will carry on the rites of the Faceless Ones.
▶️  Yurnero, the Juggernaut
Alias:
Yurnero
No one has ever seen the face hidden beneath the mask of Yurnero the Juggernaut. It is only speculation that he even has one. For defying a corrupt lord, Yurnero was exiled from the ancient Isle of Masks--a punishment that saved his life. The isle soon after vanished beneath the waves in a night of vengeful magic. He alone remains to carry on the Isle's long Juggernaut tradition, one of ritual and swordplay. The last practitioner of the art, Yurnero's confidence and courage are the result of endless practice; his inventive bladework proves that he has never stopped challenging himself. Still, his motives are as unreadable as his expression. For a hero who has lost everything twice over, he fights as if victory is a foregone conclusion.

Trivia

[edit]
  • Juggernaut's backstory and appearance bear many similarities to that of the Seguleh people in the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series of books by Steven Erikson.
  • Juggernaut's ultimate, Omnislash, is inspired by and named after the signature move of "Cloud Strife" from the game "Final Fantasy VII".[1]
  • ▶️ "Screw it, I'm going to five blades!" is a reference to an article from The Onion about the increasing number of blades put into razors.[2]
  • ▶️ "And then... there were none..." may be a reference to the Agatha Christie book by the same name.
  • ▶️ "I'm the Juggernaut, Lich!" is a play on the quote "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch.", taken from a YouTube parody featuring re-dubbed scenes from "X-Men: The Animated Series".
