Baby Tank
Presentation
An underpowered character used as a tank by giving him Axel patronage and pairing him with Aidan. It causes the character to tank direct attacks very well, and he ults repeatedly.
How does it work?
Let's say the tank has 50k hp, and Aidan 500k hp, so they now share a common hp pool of 550k
Axel prevents the tank to suffer any hit greater than 45% of his own health, so any attack against him will be capped at 22500 damage!
This does not apply to attacks against Aidan himself though, so beware
Nexters confirmed it works as intended: it is not a bug
Who can do that?
Any character patronable by Axel. It is naturally better for the character to have a health pool as low as possible, so preferably no gear, single star and low-level.
Julius is the most popular hero for this role because of his team shield, whose base strength depends mostly on his level
Alvanor is another contender because of his barrier against basic attacks
And any hero patronable by Axel may be useful against front attackers such as Ishmael or Lara. Even if gray and level one: the most fragile, the better
Making the baby powerful
Artifacts, skins and glyphs can be used to make the character reasonably powerful
Nebula can be further used to greatly strengthen the magic or physical attack of the baby
