Introduction

Is Hermes good?
Hermes is a fire-zoning assassin. The Overdrive lays a field of firestones that burns enemies and cuts their healing for seven seconds, and any enemy pushed, pulled or launched while on it takes a huge extra hit.
Burns from any ally fill Hermes' Energy, and a full bar sends Hermes gliding through enemies. Both rating sites put Hermes at S.
Strengths
- Firestone field burns and cuts healing for 7.5 seconds
- Massive extra damage to displaced enemies on the field
- Every allied Burn feeds Hermes' Energy
Weaknesses
- Wants allies who knock back, pull or launch
