Champion Overview

Trauma is a unique champion that can switch between a ranged and a melee weapon. While equipping her pistol, she is a swift but frail scout capable of quickly reaching critical locations and to harass the enemy backlines. By using her Ultimate ability, Trauma can temporarily switch to a melee stance, gaining access to powerful close quarter attacks and a damage reduction. While in this stance, she is resilient enough to withstand heavy punishment and contest the main objective.

Trauma is also our first champion to exploit a couple of interesting game mechanics:

Interrupt - Point-Blank Shot is an Interrupt passive skill. These skills will only activate when a specific event occurs but they are resolved BEFORE the triggering condition. (MTG players should be fairly familiar with such mechanic :P)
Armor - While in her melee stance, Trauma gains 2 points of Armor. Armor is a flat reduction to ANY incoming damage and won’t be removed by attacks.
