Lara Croft and Dorian - Hero Wars Dominion Era

When Dorian is placed in Lara Croft's team, he usually positions himself near her. This positioning is crucial because it allows Lara Croft to benefit from Dorian's Vampirism Aura, a skill from his Initiation ability. This aura increases the vampirism of nearby allies by 115%, meaning a portion of the damage dealt by the character is converted into healing. With Dorian’s aura, Lara Croft heals herself for 115% of the damage she deals with each attack.

Lara Croft's primary skill, Power of the Tombs, has a passive effect where her basic attacks fire two powered-up shots. This means that every time she attacks, she is already doing double the damage compared to a single-shot attack. Now, considering the vampirism from Dorian, each of these powered-up shots will heal Lara Croft for 115% of the damage dealt.

Lara Croft has an ascension skill called Power of the Sacred Tombs. This skill enhances her basic attacks further. If one of Lara's basic attacks deals damage to a target with a critical hit, the next basic attack will fire four shots instead of two. Critical hits, which deal more damage than regular hits, not only increase her overall damage output but also significantly boost her healing through vampirism. When Lara Croft lands a critical hit and triggers this skill, she essentially quadruples her healing potential because she is firing four shots, each healing her for 115% of the damage dealt.

To put this into perspective, imagine Lara Croft's basic attack dealing 100k damage per shot. With the Vampirism Aura, each shot would heal her for 115k damage (115% of 100k). Normally, she fires two shots per attack, healing her for 230k damage (115k + 115k). When she lands a critical hit and her ascension skill activates, she fires four shots in her next attack, healing her for 460k damage (115k x 4). This combination of Dorian's vampirism boost and Lara Croft's multi-shot attacks creates a powerful feedback loop of damage and healing.

The synergy between Lara Croft and Dorian goes beyond just vampirism. Dorian has another skill called Fountain of Blood, which plays a significant role in enhancing Lara Croft's survivability. This skill casts a blood mark on the nearest rival for 7 seconds. Any ally that attacks the marked enemy recovers health, with the recovered health being 155% of the damage dealt. When Lara Croft attacks an enemy marked by Dorian's Fountain of Blood, she recovers even more health. This means every time she hits the marked target, she heals herself for 155% of the damage she deals.

Combining this with her regular vampirism from Dorian's Vampirism Aura, Lara Croft gains a tremendous amount of healing. Imagine Lara Croft dealing 100k damage per shot. With Dorian’s Vampirism Aura, she already heals for 115% of the damage, which is 115k health per shot. If the enemy is marked by Fountain of Blood, she heals for an additional 155% of the damage, which is 155k health per shot. So, for each attack, she’s healing for a total of 270k health.

Given that her basic attacks fire two powered-up shots, she would heal for 540k health (270k x 2) per basic attack. If she lands a critical hit and activates her ascension skill, she fires four shots in her next attack, healing for 1 million health (270k x 4). This powerful combination ensures that Lara Croft can sustain herself through intense battles, making her a formidable force on the battlefield. The synergy between her powerful attacks and the enhanced healing from Dorian’s skills ensures she stays in the fight longer and maintains high health levels, even under heavy fire.

Lastly, Dorian's artifact, Bleeding Steel, adds another layer to the synergy with Lara Croft. When Dorian activates his skill Fountain of Blood, it also triggers the activation of his artifact Bleeding Steel. This artifact provides a bonus to the physical attack of the entire team for 9 seconds.

This bonus physical attack significantly enhances Lara Croft's abilities. Her basic attacks, already powerful, become even stronger with this boost. Since her critical hits also deal more damage, the increased physical attack from Bleeding Steel means that her critical hits will be even more devastating. When Dorian marks an enemy with Fountain of Blood, Lara Croft not only heals from attacking the marked target but also benefits from the increased physical attack. This results in her basic attacks and critical hits dealing significantly more damage. More damage means more healing, thanks to the vampirism from Dorian's Vampirism Aura and the health recovery from attacking marked enemies.

To put it all together, Dorian's presence on Lara Croft's team enhances her survivability and damage output in multiple ways:

• Vampirism Aura: Increases the healing Lara Croft receives from her attacks.
• Fountain of Blood: Marks an enemy, providing additional healing when Lara Croft attacks the marked target.
• Bleeding Steel: Boosts the entire team’s physical attack, amplifying Lara Croft's damage and, consequently, her healing.

With these combined effects, Lara Croft becomes a powerhouse on the battlefield. She can deal tremendous damage while continuously healing herself, making her extremely resilient and capable of sustaining prolonged fights. The synergy between Lara Croft and Dorian, enhanced by the artifact Bleeding Steel, ensures that Lara Croft can maximize her offensive and defensive capabilities, dominating in both individual combat and team engagements.

To conclude, the synergy between Lara Croft and Dorian is truly remarkable. By combining Dorian’s Vampirism Aura, Fountain of Blood, and the Bleeding Steel artifact, Lara Croft becomes a powerhouse, capable of dealing massive damage and sustaining herself through incredible healing.
