Dionel Pros & Cons

Pros

• Damage and Mobility: Dionel combines high damage output with his ability to soar into the air, becoming untargetable during his ultimate, "Dawn Light".
• AoE Potential: His ultimate hits multiple enemies, and his basic attacks become penetrative with "Starry Void," increasing his area damage potential.
• Self-Sufficient Buffs: "Nectar Feast" provides significant boosts to his ATK and ATK SPD, and he gains stacks for this buff passively from allies.
• Execution: Dionel has access to execution mechanics, amplifying his damage against weakened targets.
• True Damage: His Exclusive Skill "Celestial Spear" deals true damage, making him effective against high-defense foes.

Cons

• Cooldown Reliant: A significant portion of his burst damage is tied to the cooldowns of "Dawn Light" and "Nectar Feast".
• Stack Dependent: Dionel's true power relies on building up "Intoxication" stacks. If he can't gain these stacks from allies, he's noticeably weaker.
• Squishy: While he has temporary invincibility during his ultimate, Dionel is not built as a tank and can be vulnerable outside of this ability.
• Positioning: The knock-up effect on his ultimate can sometimes be disruptive for his allies if it throws enemies out of well-placed AoE setups.
