Description
Vortex is a brute force controller who collapses terrain and disables enemies through seismic effects. He isn’t fast, but he doesn’t need to be.
Tactics
Liberal use of Sonic damage.
Leads with his Vacuum Crash + Sonic Manipulation combo to destroy enemy cover.
Uses Blast Gel to demolish structures or set explosive traps.
When surrounded, he uses Payload Drive or his signature for high-impact ground bursts.
Particularly effective in urban or destructible terrain settings.
Weak to airborne targets or teleporters that bypass his reach.

Signature Ability
Seismic Shatterpoint
Vortex jumps from high ground and drops hard. The ground beneath him erupts in waves of sound and stone, throwing enemies and terrain skyward before collapsing into a pit of debris.
Base: Aerial Crash
Upgrades: 8 Points
Elemental Infusion: Sonic
State Application: Airborne
3 +Area
Scaling Boost
Notes: Aerial Crash augments a plunging attack, allowing it to deal more damage in an area. Using +Area and Scaling Boost increases both damage and area further. The Airborne state from State Application locks characters down so that they can’t move without a fly speed and grants bonuses to ranged ally attacks. Elemental Infusion changes the plunging attack damage to Sonic, increasing terrain and obstacle destruction.
