Faramis

Faramis, the Soul Binder, is a support who plays in the Mid Lane.

Also known as Soul Binder

Lore

Faramis was a gifted physician who came to Necrokeep to study the mysterious plague. But instead of finding the key to the secrets of life and death, he met Vexana, duchess of the cursed land and the girl who'd brought sunshine to his dreary life twice. Vowing to find a way to revert the curse and repay the Vexana's kindness, Faramis willingly exposed himself to the Mist and used himself as the specimen for his research.

Vicious Retrieval

Buff

When Faramis's skills deal damage to enemy heroes and summoned units, they leave behind Soul Fragments. Absorbing a Soul Fragment recovers 100 (+50% Total Magic Power) HP and grants 2 (up to 40 stacks). Upon death, he consumes the absorbed Soul Fragments to reduce the respawn timer, each reducing the timer by 3% (up to 90%). He can gain up to 1 Soul Fragment from the same enemy hero using skills every 4s. Enemies that die around Faramis also have a chance to drop Soul Fragments.

When the Specter state breaks, heroes within clear all debuffs and enter a brief Resurrection state for 1.3s. The Specter state immediately ends if the allied hero leaves the Nether Realm.

Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

Faramis' ability to temporarily prevent teammates from being killed makes him a good pick against heroes that go all-in to burst down a target, like Saber and Eudora.

Countered by

Faramis is countered by high mobility heroes that are difficult for him to catch with his 1st Skill, such as Novaria and Pharsa.

Compatibility

Faramis works well with heroes that are designed to dive into the enemy, such as Leomord and Martis, as he'll be able to maximize the life-saving effect of his Ultimate.
