The Deadlock Intel Twitter feed described Slork as “tremendous unfinished,” however offered a rundown of his talents as they at the moment stand. Riptide bounces enemies up into the air with the bonus of ricocheting off partitions for extra mayhem. Deep’s Embrace seems to be a form of watery protect, and Ambush Predator makes you Slork briefly invisible and quicker for a couple of seconds earlier than ending with an assault. Chomp is just about self-explanatory.
