Marcel

Marcel, the Soul Photographer, is a support who plays in the Roam.

Also known as Soul Photographer

Lore

Hailing from House Paxley, he is an elegant, mysterious, and bizarre artist whose split soul has fused with his camera. Marcel Paxley, the elegant yet mysterious talent from Castle Aberleen. He himself is a masterfully composed double exposure: the first exposure captured the refined character of House Paxley—Marcel, the boy; the second exposure captured a torn soul, fragmented by dark magic—Clemar, his camera. Since then, they have gazed at the world through two viewfinders. One maintains an impeccable veneer of elegance; the other carefully documents reality. Together, they believe pain is the best chemical for development, while imperfection defines true depth of field. Yet a completed work always stands as its own individual "self".

Golden Hour

Marcel and Clemar perform a joint shoot. After a short delay, Clemar takes a wide-angle shot of the target area for 2s. During this time, Marcel enters the Tracking Haste state while inside the area. All other units in the area are put into a Frozen Moment and are immune to all effects except from Marcel. All projectiles are also frozen and will continue after a delay (targeted projectiles will deal 50% damage). Golden Hour resets the cooldown of Platinum Snap for each enemy hero. Allied heroes with the Platinum Snap shield can move freely within the area.

Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

Marcel is more effective against low-mobility heroes, such as Layla and Vexana, as they are easily caught by his Ultimate, allowing him and his allies to secure easy kills.

Countered by

Heroes who possess Invincibility or Untargetable effects that can bypass Marcel's CC, like Ling and X.Borg, will reduce his impact on the battlefield.

Compatibility

Because of Marcel's excellent AOE CC, he pairs well with allies with high AOE damage, like Hanabi and Ixia, to maximize their damage potential.
