Punisher is a Skill Champion. Being a Skill Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Science Champions, but is weak to Mutant Champions.
He is available exclusively as a Trophy Champion, and can only be obtained through Arena and Arena Crystals.
Bio[]
I know what you're thinking. How did I end up like this? Tied to a chair in a dingy warehouse, with a big, scary man pointing a big, scary gun in my face. Well let me tell you: you're here because you're a criminal. You're a tumor of society. And me? I'm just a man who loves his job. I'm the Punisher. And we're about to have a lot of fun together...
Mechanics[]
Punisher is a classic Skill Champion, with access to Bleed and Fury. Punisher is capable of stacking a lot of Bleeds once he places an Open Wound with his Special Attack 2 or 3, because once the opponent is Bleeding, all of Punisher’s attacks have a chance to place an additional Bleed!

Signature Ability[]

Dev Notes: This will trigger against any killing hit, including Special 3. However, if you die from a damage over time effect, like Bleed or Poison, the Indestructible won’t save you!

- When this Bleed from this attack expires, it has a 65% chance to be converted into an Open Wound. An Open Wound counts as a stack of Bleed but is Passive and deals no damage.
Dev Notes: The Open Wound that can happen here matters for Punisher’s passive abilities, allowing you to stack more damaging Bleeds on an opponent with this indefinite Open Wound!
Special 3 - Payback
The Punisher shows why you should never break the law. Ever.
- 100% chance to inflict a Bleed Debuff, dealing X Direct Damage over 5 seconds.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Strengths[]
- Bleed
- If you are able to place an Open Wound with a Special 2 or 3, the passive non-damaging Bleed allows Punisher to always be able to stack more Bleeds on the opponent, helping his damage.
- Fury
- Punisher has access to an easy Fury buff on all of his attacks, useful for nodes that require it.
Weaknesses[]
- Evade Champs
- Unlike most Skill champions, Punisher has no access to an ability that will stop evading science champions or their defensive abilities.
- Bleed Immune
- Without his Bleeds, Punisher’s damage suffers.
Recommended Masteries[]
- Extended Fury
- Increase the duration of Punisher’s Furies for longer attack boost durations.
- Deep Wounds
- A lot of Punisher’s damage can come from Bleeds, so extend the duration of Bleeds to increase the damage as well.
