Introduction

Adol is a fairly standard beginner-friendly rushdown character. While his damage output is average, he compensates with his good mobility and lightning fast attacks, which tends to have little recovery. He is most prevalent at close to mid range, where he can unleash an onslaught of attacks in order to pressure his opponents. On top of that, his high AP makes him quite flexible when it comes to builds.
