Pyke is a support-assassin who regenerates recent damage when he is not seen, and whose extra health is converted into attack damage. Bone Skewer pulls an enemy in, Phantom Undertow stuns as it passes, Ghostwater Dive camouflages him, and his ultimate executes low-health enemies and grants bonus gold to the ally who assists.
