About Mole Man
Socially shunned for his dwarfish appearance and expelled from his academic roots in nuclear engineering for his Hollow Earth theories, Harvey Rupert Elder stumbles upon the Monster Isle and falls deep into the realm of Subterranea, becoming blinded before the Valley of Diamonds. After this discovery, Elder dubs himself the Mole Man, ruler of Subterranea and the caverns of Monster Isle. Riding on the back of his most trusted monster friend, Giganto Jr., the Mole Man burrows his way into the Contest.
Mole Man's Mechanics:
Mole Man makes use of Giganto Jr.’s enormous presence to bully his enemies into submission. Giganto Jr. can take a lot of punishment for Mole Man by Purifying Debuffs and converting them into Monster Mass. Monster Mass allows the pair to counter-attack opponents that strike their Block. Monster Mass also allows them to withstand Heavy and Unblockable hits. If Mole Man and Giganto Jr. take enough damage and Debuffs, they both go into a Frenzy, causing all hits to become Critical Hits, and all blocked Attacks to be countered at no cost.

STRENGTHS
- Debuff Purify
- Mole Man and Giganto Jr. are able to shrug off all Debuffs that are thrown at them. Champions that rely on Debuffs as their main source of damage will have to play carefully against Mole Man.
- Unstoppable on Block
- Mole Man does not rely on the use of Parry or Stun Debuffs to get offensive. Any attack he blocks can be immediately turned on his opponent after going Unstoppable.
- Guaranteed Critical Hits during Frenzy
- Critical Hits during Frenzy have a lot of added effects for Mole Man. Critical Hits inflict Bleed as well as deal extra Energy Damage on Shocked opponents. This adds a lot of extra threat when Mole Man and Giganto Jr. are Frenzied.
- Blocking Heavy and Unblockable Attacks
- This champion is able to Block Heavy and Unblockable attacks with the help of the Stand Your Ground Mastery adding an extra layer of protection versus Unblockable champions.
- Bleed Immune
- Mole Man’s main source of damage other than hits are Bleed Debuffs. Any champions that are immune or resistant to Bleeds will give him a significant disadvantage.
- Purify Punishment
- Mole Man relies on Purifying Debuffs to power his other abilities. Champions such as Sunspot and Havok are able to take advantage of this ability by dealing extra damage whenever Mole Man Purifies a Debuff.
- Stagger
- Champions who have a reliable Stagger ability are able to nullify Mole Man’s Unstoppable Buffs, keeping his Monster Mass to a manageable level.
Abilities:
Passive:
- Shock Immunity: Giganto Jr’s tough monster hide does not conduct electricity granting immunity to Shock effects.
- While Frenzy is not active and Mole Man is below 5 Monster Mass, Mole Man’s heightened senses allow him to predict his opponent’s movements granting him True Accuracy, ignoring all Evade and Auto-Block effects.
- 100% chance to inflict a Bleed Debuff dealing 879.75 damage over 8 seconds.
- Deal 938.4 as a burst of Energy Damage if the opponent is suffering from a Shock Debuff.
- 100% chance to gain a Monster Mass when inflicted with a Debuff. This has -70% chance when fighting Mutant Champions. Max 15 Stacks. Debuffs are Purified 1 second(s) after. At 5 Monster Mass or above, this time is decreased to 0.5 second(s).
- Each Monster Mass grants +370.59 Physical Resistance.
- Blocking Basic Attacks grants an Unstoppable Buff for 0.85 seconds, allowing for an immediate counter-attack. Well-Timed Blocks do not trigger this Unstoppable Buff. This ability removes 1 Monster Mass.
- Gain a 75% chance to Resist a Block Break while at least 1 Monster Mass is active. Adding points into the Stand Your Ground Mastery also increases this chance. If the chance to Resist a Block Break is raised to 100%, this ability also Resists Unblockable hits. Resisting an Unblockable or a Block Break removes all Monster Mass.
- Gain a Monster Mass if a Debuff fails to apply due to an Immunity.
Frenzy
- When above 5 Monster Mass, activating an Unstoppable effect activates Frenzy, allowing all hits to be guaranteed Critical Hits. Frenzy also activates when reaching Max Monster Mass.
- During Frenzy Monster Mass cannot be removed but each Mass expires after 1.20 second(s) and Debuffs can no longer be Purified.
- After Monster Mass falls to zero, Mole Man cannot be Frenzied for 15 seconds.

Mole Man: So you have chosen death....
It feels like a trend this year. Damage is the focus, no real utility.
