## Lore

Allain's earliest memories were of Casanova.

As an orphan, he was fortunate enough to be taken in by the mercenary order and given the very best of training. Allain displayed an impressive talent for swordplay, and the instructors considered him a rising star.

During his training, Allain met Butterfly, a fellow orphan. Allain’s new friend defeated him in every contest of arms, and Allain began to develop inexplicable feelings for her: he wanted to see her become the strongest warrior ever, but he also wanted to become as skilled as she.

This rivalry, however, did not harm their friendship in the slightest. Butterfly was always crying, and Allain’s optimism and cheerfulness always brought her from tears to smiles, and the two became very close.

When Allain and Butterfly were first sent out into the field to gain experience, they walked straight into an enemy ambush. Someone had compromised the mission—there was a traitor in their midst! Allain threw himself at the enemy to protect Butterfly and was lost in the chaos. Butterfly survived and grieved for years thereafter.

But Allain did return—many years later. He had joined the Shadow Hand and lost all his memories. All he knew was that this organization had saved him, and for that reason alone he agreed to serve them.

Under the direction of the Shadow Hand, Allain found himself performing deeds that became more and more nefarious. The Shadow Hand told him that it was all for the future of humanity, but Allain could not make himself believe it. After much thought, he decided to leave. After his next mission, he slipped out from under his superiors’ supervision and regained his freedom.

The Shadow Hand would not stand for this betrayal and sent Veres with a pack of assassins to finish him off. It was then that Butterfly had arrived in Kazell to investigate the dark wizards, and here she found Allain again.

Allain no longer recognized Butterfly, but he was deeply touched by her kindness.

### Talents

* Useful on teamfights after using Death at Sunset
* Excellent for escaping a teamfight

## Strategies

* Upgrade Skill 2 first, this can help during battle, because the higher the level, the higher the stun
* Allain is a **Late game** hero, so you should have to avoid fighting during early game, yes, you can help to your team on teamfights but, you must be precise, I suggest you to use Skill 3 (Death at Sunset) on the Rival's marksman when the rivals have already used their skills, then use skill 2 for slowing and use skill 1 for killing them
* As Allain has some stuns on his attacks, you should know how long his stun is combinating each skills, so, defeating an enemy will be easier
* Be careful with stuns or cc
* Always keep farming
* Always have Skill 2 ready, it can really help you
* Use Skill 3 wisdomely, sometimes it's better to use it on allies like Butterfly
* Skill 3 can be used to save some teammates because it grants em a shield
* Never enter to a Team Fight at the beggining, it's better to wait when enemies have already used their skills
* DON'T GO ALONE!!
