Nomad

Description

The battle-hardened hunter of a hundred clashes first appeared on a dusky eve, a lone messenger and executioner to the Legion from vast desert wastes. Rumored to serve no one, and not unlike the very Sand Wraith he hunts, the Nomad's stern and offsetting demeanor has yet to gain him the trust of Legion soldiers. Nonetheless, his eagle-like reflexes and the swiftness with which he swings his gargantuan blade have made believers of heathens yet.

The Nomad is a hit-and-run style carry that is highly dependent on trickery and good reflexes. He is highly dependent on Mirage Strike, which allows him to either send an image or himself charging at an enemy. The additional elusiveness provided by Sandstorm and Edge Counter make him a powerful foe in the right hands.
