Summary

The Savage feels a lot like the Nomad at first, but it specializes in speed. The Savage is meant to be an orb runner, especially once you start unlocking its abilities. It can easily dash and jump past almost all enemies with plenty of time to chuck the orb into their pyre, meaning you can keep your Savage on the field and just keep rushing. The Savage is easy to score with, but it provides little help when defending against enemy players. Its aura cast isn’t bad, but it isn’t really special, either. The Savage also has a pretty average aura size, meaning that it can’t rely on ramming. Its speed could make it a good choice for catching other speedy characters that likely have smaller auras than it, though. I think her best ability is the tier three ability that gives her unlimited Stamina while holding the Orb. With this ability, you can pretty much rely on rushing to score, and the tier two ability that speeds up her orb fling makes it easy to run past defenders and then chuck the Orb.
