Lore & Story
Skills

Thickened Blood
Hylos gains 1.5 extra Max HP for every 1 extra Max Mana he possesses. When out of Mana, Hylos can use his HP for skill casts.

Law and Order
CD: 12Hylos gains 50% Movement Speed and causes his next Basic Attack within 3s to deal 300 (+80% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to the target, knocking back and stunning them for 1s. The extra Movement Speed rapidly decays over the duration and vanishes after the next Basic Attack.

Ring of Punishment
CD: 1Hylos releases the Ring of Punishment, dealing 100 (+20% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to nearby enemies per second while slowing them by 4% and reducing their Attack Speed by 7.5% for 2.5s (up to 8 stacks). Each stack also increases the enemy's damage taken from the Ring of Punishment by 5%. The Ring of Punishment consumes 30 Mana per second when it's active. Use Again: Hylos cancels the Ring of Punishment.

Glorious Pathway
CD: 40Hylos creates a huge pathway in the target direction, reducing enemies' Movement Speed by 75% for 1s. The pathway lasts 6s. When on the pathway, Hylos gains Slow Immunity and recovers 3% of his Max HP per second. Allied heroes moving along the pathway gain 60% extra Movement Speed, while enemy heroes on the pathway will be slowed by 25%.

Official Counter Analysis
Counters
Hylos is strong against heroes without mobility skills that can't easily escape his 2nd Skill, like Layla and Gord.
Countered By
Hylos is countered by high mobility heroes like Karrie and Lesley, as they are hard for him to lock down and can also take him out.
Good Teammates
Hylos works best with heroes that need faster Movement Speed to engage, such as Terizla and Minsitthar.
