Enigma

Enigma is a ranged intelligence hero who uses his abilities to cripple his enemies, supported by a seemingly inexhaustible army of creeps. His fearsome abilities can bind entire teams under his might. Enigma is also a formidable jungler and pusher owing to his ability to create creeps.

The deliverance of his ultimate, Black Hole, engulfs an area around him with dark energies and disables enemies caught within it, making him an extremely powerful yet conditional initiator and disabler. His Midnight Pulse consumes sections of enemies' life in a region over time and his Malefice stuns targets. His trademark ability is Demonic Conversion, which splits a creep into three eidolons under his control. If they can land enough attacks on an enemy unit before their expiration, they multiply and are healed to full health.

Gameplay
When playing Enigma, it's important to wait at one of your lanes until 0:00 and use Demonic Conversion to take one of the creeps (preferably the ranged one) and then go back to base, regen up and then continue to the jungle. Once in the jungle, use Demonic Conversion to take the strongest creep you can and be sure to micro the damaged Eidolon away and take aggression off it so it can split and regen health. Continue until you have gotten your Core. At level 6 you can choose to go to the safe lane or the mid and gank with a Black Hole, which will help the lane a fair bit. Once you have your core try and take out a tower and then let the game go on. Continue to push a lot and remember to drop a Midnight Pulse before using Black Hole. If played correctly, Enigma can be a gravitational force to be reckoned with and will always place caution in the enemy.
