Slarkis a melee Agility semi-carry and deadly ganker. His first ability Dark Pact does damage around him and purges harmful debuffs after a short delay. A skilled Slark can time Dark Pact to remove an incoming stun. This hero's most unqiue and powerful skill is his ultimate Shadow Dance. With Shadow Dance Slark can turn invisible for a short period of time, in which he can use both items and attack abilities. Combined with Pounce, a leaping initiation which tethers enemies in a small AOE radius, Slark can take out any hero easily. Furhtermore, Pounce is a decent escape mechanism. Essence Shift steals stats from other heroes after each attack and increases Slark's own Agility. While this resets on death of either hero, Slark can rapidly get out of control. Overall this hero is a fearsome ganker, and while a bit squishy, can dominate with his stat-stealing and high mobility.

LORE
Little known to the inhabitants of the dry world, Dark Reef is a sunken prison where the worst of the sea-bred are sent for crimes against their fellows. It is a razor barbed warren full of murderous slithereen, treacherous Deep Ones, sociopathic meranths. In this dim labyrinth, patrolled by eels and guarded by enormous anemones, only the vicious survive. Pitched into Dark Reef for crimes unknown, Slark spent half a lifetime without kin or kindness, trusting no one, surviving through a combination of stealth and ruthlessness, keeping his thoughts and his plans to himself. When the infamous Dark Reef Dozen plotted their ill-fated breakout, they kept their plans a perfect secret, murdering anyone who could have put the pieces together--but somehow Slark discovered their scheme and made a place for himself in it. Ten of the Dozen died in the escape attempt, and two were captured, hauled back to Dark Reef, then executed for the entertainment of their fellow inmates. But Slark, the unsung thirteenth, used the commotion as cover and slipped away, never to be caught. Now a furtive resident of the carnivorous mangrove scrub that grips the southern reach of Shadeshore, Slark remains the only successful escapee from Dark Reef.
