Chromie – Keeper of time

Chromie

At first glance, Chromie appears to be an ordinary gnome. In truth, she is Chronormu, Bronze Dragon and a master of time. Chromie uses her powers to control the flow of battle, slowing her enemies or even forcefully displacing them through time. When it comes to temporal manipulation, there’s no problem she can’t solve… with some help from her future self, or course.

Chromie Class

Assassins deal bursts of high damage, specializing in either single-target or multi-target abilities, but lack resilience. They thrive on the battlefield through hit-and-run tactics, carefully timed attacks, and by capitalizing on the perfect moment to engage or flee.

Recap:

Our main goal as an Assassin is to quickly destroy every enemy hero one by one. To perform our goal we must max our spell power.

In team fight due to ours great range we must stay behind and attack enemies with spells. We must try to land every spell we cast because it deal great damage and stack our Spell Power.

Also we must protect ourselves and place a Time trap near. If we does this properly than we have enough time to flee from battleground and regroup with our comrades.

• 1 – Compounding Aether or Timewalker’s Pursuit
• 3 – Piercing Sands
• 6 – Chrono Sickness
• 9 – Slowing Sands or Temporal Loop 
• 12 – Reaching through Time
