Notes

INTRO:
Ever wanted to wield Yondu's arrow? With thor-like damage resistance? Better pay attention, boy!

FEATURES:
- Infinite threaded spikes
- Sever everything
- Orb printer
- Infinite special ammo
- Tangles everywhere

GAMEPLAY LOOP:
Dodge near enemy, charge melee (threaded spike), repeat. Every second(!), you'll generate an orb that you will heal and give woven mail. Additionally, everything in the battlefield will be severed. Thus, your incoming damage resistance will be 30% (from T10 resil) + 45% (from woven mail) + 40% (from sever)! If you ever run out of dodges, simply use your super and get it back after. Or, you can collect orbs to get it back fast. Great for onslaught, especially with the ball duplication cheese! It also deletes champs with The Fourth Horseman, and you can reload it immediately with a suspend grenade.
