What Cull Obsidian does
Grows through a quest by finishing 
Thanos's missions (knockouts, knocking out an Avenger, winning without dropping his combo), and every Persistent Charge he earns starts the next fight with another Thanos's Favor Buff for Attack, True Accuracy and more. His Rout mode adds Energy Damage equal to 120% of each hit, shuts off Auto-Block and has a 75% chance per strike to Armor Break, and his signature lets him reuse it after a cooldown.
Background
A ferocious combatant like few others, Cull Obsidian is always seeking a truly challenging fight to impress his master, Thanos.
Wielding his one-of-a-kind multi-tool like chain hammer, Cull tears his opponent’s defenses apart and stops heroes in their tracks.
Lord Thanos won’t be stopped so long as his imposing enforcer, Cull, stands by his side ready to strike down any opposition.

Skills
10Thanos's Favor
PassiveThanos's Favor - Max Persistent Charges cyan At the beginning of the fight, 1 Thanos’s Favor Buff is gained per Persistent Charge. These Buffs last 10 seconds each and they gain effects based on the number of charges. These Buffs have their duration paused for 2.5 second each time an attack is landed. Thanos has directed Cull to spread the maximum possible amount of mayhem, allowing him to start with 3 Persistent Charges in Battlegrounds or in the first fight of Alliance War. Dev Notes: Unlike many other Champions, Cull Obsidian begins with 1 Persistent Charge.
Missions From Thanos
PassiveCull Obsidian has cyan Missions to complete, which may be done in any order. Each Mission can be completed multiple times and doing so grants cyan Persistent Charge. Mission 1: Break their Defenses: Knockout any Champion. Mission 2: Crush their Hope: Knockout an Avenger. Mission 3: End their Resistance: Knockout a Champion without the Combo Meter being lost due to being struck during the fight. Dev Notes: Mission 3 means that Cull’s opponent must begin the fight with 95% or higher health, and Cull cannot lose his combo meter during the fight to gain the Persistent Charge. Also, these Missions may all be completed in the same fight, granting Cull 3 Persistent Charges.
Thanos's Favor Buffs
PassiveThanos’s Favor Buffs - Effects from Persistent Charge 1+ Each Buff grants 1129.7 Attack 3+ Gain an indefinite True Accuracy Passive for the duration of the Buffs. 5+ Each Buff grants 56.12 Critical Damage Rating 8+ Each Buff grants +5% Rout Buff Duration. Dev Notes: Each Thanos’s Favor Buff gained at the start of the fight will have all properties available to it. So, if you have 8 Thanos’s Favor Buffs because you started the fight with 8 Persistent Charges, you’ll get +80% Attack, +320 Critical Damage Rating, your attacks will ignore Evade and Auto-Block, and you’ll gain +40% Rout Buff Duration.

On Well-Timed Blocks
PassiveCull Obsidian’s unique shield is able to Stun opponents with the Parry Mastery even against attacks that don't make contact. Dev Notes: As a reminder, Parry Stun still won’t work on Special Attacks as Champions cannot be Stunned whilst they are in a Special Attack animation.
Rout
PassiveDash Back and Hold Block for 1.2 Seconds - Once Per Fight Cull Obsidian overcharges his weapon to gain a Rout Buff for 8 seconds. This causes his opponent to suffer -100% Auto-Block Ability Accuracy and also grants his attacks an additional burst of Energy Damage equal to 120% of the damage dealt. 75% chance per strike to inflict an Armor Break Debuff, reducing Armor by 1480.77 for 14 seconds. This effect gains +5% duration and Ability Accuracy for each Persistent Charge.

Enforced Oblivion
Signature AbilityOnce Cull Obsidian’s Rout Buff has expired, it goes into cool down, and can be reactivated after 29 - 10 seconds. When Rout enters cool down, Cull’s aggression is awarded with a Fury Buff, granting 11409.97 - 18640.04 Attack for 4 seconds. This Buff gains +0.5 seconds duration for each hit landed while Rout was active. Dev Notes: Cull is greatly rewarded for staying aggressive during his Rout time. Make sure to launch it when you’re sure it is safe to land as many attacks as possible.

Special Attacks (general)
PassiveCull Obsidian's overwhelming presence reduces the opponent's Armor Up Ability Accuracy by 100% during his Special Attacks.
Special 1 - Collision of Challenge
Special AttackA series of devastating strikes softens the opponent before Cull roars a challenge in their face to prove his dominance. Combat expertise grants 10 Combo Shield Buffs. When struck, 1 Combo Shield Buff is lost instead of the Combo Meter resetting. Max: 10 Combo Shield Buffs. Dev Notes: There is a max of 10 Combo Shield Buffs that Cull can have at any time. This is a good Special Attack to use if you struggle to maintain your Combo Meter but still want to ramp up your Persistent Charges quickly.
Special 2 - Transformation Devastation
Special AttackA flurry of blows rain down upon Cull's foe, delivering punishing hammer and claw strikes. Each strike has a 100% chance to pause personal Armor Break Debuffs on the opponent for 5 seconds. 100% chance to inflict a 2 second Stun Debuff. Dev Notes: Only the final strike of his Special 2 can inflict a Stun Debuff.
Special 3 - Pummeling Eradication
Special AttackWith a fully-deployed whip-chain, Cull snags his opponent in a crushing grip before launching them into the wall. An influx of power from Thanos causes Cull Obsidian to re-trigger all of his Thanos' Favor Buffs. Attack for each Persistent Charge. At tier 7: 1129.7 Dev Notes: The max number of Thanos’s Favor Buffs you can have is 10, the same max as the Persistent Charges.
