Gameplay style

Pyke is primarily played as an assassin/catcher/support, leveraging their melee combat style to dominate in support. Since their release in Patch 8.11, players have come up with a bunch of different strategies and builds to maximize Pyke's potential.

Pyke's story

A renowned harpooner from the slaughter docks of Bilgewater, Pyke should have met his death in the belly of a gigantic jaull-fish… and yet, he returned. Now, stalking the dank alleys and backways of his former hometown, he uses his new supernatural gifts to bring a swift and gruesome end to those who make their fortune by exploiting others—and a city that prides itself on hunting monsters now finds a monster hunting them.
