SEASON 42 PROFILE
Professor of the MysticsMystic Favor rewards four consecutive hits, Mystic Injunction keeps damage on an area, and Mystic Gush cuts through the fight with a sustained beam. Gord contributes heavily from range, but standing still during the ultimate makes him an obvious target.
DATA REVIEWED 13.10.2026 · PATCH 2.2.16
HOW TO PLAY
Clear Mid Lane by placing Mystic Injunction across both wave and opponent, while keeping Mystic Projectile for the approach.
Chain Mystic Projectile's stun into the damage zone before channelling Mystic Gush. Without prior control, the enemy can leave or interrupt you.
Around Lord, play across the wall and change position after each cast. Gord survives through distance, not durability.
