The Celts knew a horned god, hiding behind the shadowed branch with eyes burning like untended embers. Cernunnos is the master here, the one who provides the abundance of crops and anything that lives. However, he will not tolerate the greedy.
Born before the Gods were even Gods, Cernunnos is the master of the Sacred Wheel, transforming with the seasons. Entering the battlefield of the gods, Cernunnos takes care of the humble and hunts the arrogant.
Let’s check out the Great Cernunnos’ skills:
ABILITIES
Passive: Heavy Glaive
Cernunnos uses a glaive as his weapon and deals additional damage to all enemies in melee range with his basic attacks.
1st Ability: Shifter of Seasons
His first ability imbues Cernunnos’ glaive the power of the four seasons. By activating this ability, it rotates through four different bonuses to his primary attacks: Spring Growth causes bonus physical lifesteal, Summer Heat deals bonus damage, Autumn Decay causes debuff for 5 seconds, while Winter Chill slows enemies for 1 second.
2nd Ability: Bramble Blast
This ability allows Cernunnos fires a bramble forward in a line which roots the first enemy it hits. Upon hitting the enemy, wall, or reaching its max range, it will explode and deal damage as well as spawn an area of brambles at the location. The area will deal damage every 5 seconds and will slow the enemies inside it. It will last for 5 seconds.
3rd Ability: Horn Charge
Once activated, Cernunnos charges forward, deals damage and crash through all types of enemies.
Ultimate: The Wild Hunt
His ultimate skill allows Cernunnos to select an area in the map where The Wild Hunt will begin. After a second delay, enemies in this field will be damaged and will be transformed into wild boars for a brief second. These Polymorphed targets are silenced and disarmed.
