# X.Borg A vengeful cyborg warrior transformed through exploitation and suffering, X.Borg channels his rage into destructive fury against those who wronged him. ## Background X.Borg emerged from humble origins in a remote mining settlement, where poverty forced him and his brother to labor in dangerous conditions. During an accident in the mines, he shielded his younger sibling from a falling rock, earning a permanent scar on his forehead—a sacrifice made out of necessity rather than choice. The mining operation itself was orchestrated by Rooney, a prominent scholar from the advanced civilization of Eruditio, who sought to extract a mysterious ore from the mountain without regard for the wellbeing of the local population. Desperate for opportunity and social advancement, X.Borg continued working in the mines despite mounting health problems among the laborers. His exposure to the toxic mining agent proved catastrophic; during one shift, he collapsed and fell directly into the corrosive liquid, experiencing excruciating pain as it burned through his body. Rather than providing aid, the scholars of Eruditio seized the opportunity to use him as an experimental subject, surgically grafting him with technology infused by the ore's properties. Rooney personally manipulated the young man by framing his transformation as a "chosen one" status, convincing him that his suffering served a greater scientific purpose and that his family would be cared for in return. Upon his eventual return home, X.Borg discovered the devastating truth: the ore had poisoned the land, killed his people, and been buried along with their remains to facilitate further research. Consumed by betrayal and grief, he incinerated the region in a three-day inferno—a destructive act of purification and retribution. He subsequently returned to Eruditio not as a grateful subject, but as an instrument of vengeance, having embraced fire as both his weapon and his answer to a world that had deemed him expendable.

X.Borg Skills
- Firaga Armor (Passive): Firaga Armor inherits 160% of X.Borg's Max HP and absorbs all incoming damage when it's active. When destroyed, X.Borg rolls in the direction of the Joystick (he is invincible during this process). The Armor's energy will gradually regenerate while X.Borg is in the Armorless State. At full energy, X.Borg re-equips the Armor and restores it to 30% HP. X.Borg's attacks cause enemies to enter <font color="a6aafb">Overheated</font> state. Enemies in <font color="a6aafb">Overheated</font> state will drop Firaga Supplies when they take damage from X.Borg. Picking up supplies restores 10% of the Armor's HP (or 10 energy while in the Armorless State). X.Borg's skills deal <font color="ffe63c">True Damage</font> to enemies in <font color="a6aafb">Overheated</font> state.
- Fire Missiles: X.Borg sprays fire, dealing 25<font color="fba51f"> (+60% Total Physical Attack)</font> <font color="62f8fe">(+40% Total Magic Power)</font> <font color="fb1f1f">Physical Damage</font> 7 times over 2s to enemies in front of him (75% damage to minions). Armorless State: The attack area becomes narrower but longer, while the damage is reduced to 60%.
- Fire Stake: X.Borg fires 5 Fire Stakes forward and recalls them after 1.7s. Each stake deals 50<font color="fba51f"> (+20% Total Physical Attack)</font> <font color="fb1f1f">Physical Damage</font> and pulls enemies and Firaga Supplies along its path back to him. Armorless State: X.Borg adjusts the Fire Stake launcher, making the stakes travel farther and closer together.
- Last Insanity: X.Borg charges in the target direction while spinning and spraying fire (cannot pick up Firaga Supplies during this time), dealing 90<font color="fba51f"> (+60% Extra Physical Attack)</font> <font color="62f8fe">(+45% Total Magic Power)</font> <font color="fb1f1f">Physical Damage</font> 12 times and slowing enemies hit by 25%. He stops upon touching an enemy hero and will slow them by an additional 40%. After 3s, his mecha suit detonates, dealing 300 plus 15% of the target's Max HP as <font color="ffe63c">True Damage</font>. If his armor is destroyed, it will immediately explode but damage drops to 50%. The detonation destroys his Armor, removes all debuffs, and collects all nearby Firaga Supplies. Cannot be used in <font color="a6aafb">Armorless State</font>. <font color="a6aafb">Use Again</font>: Immediately stop spraying fire and detonate early.
