Overall
Laios brings a party-wide sustain engine driven by Senshi's cooking. Meals are served on a regular timer, healing the whole team, boosting attack, and granting bonus energy whenever allies are healed. Monsters periodically spawn on the battlefield to taunt enemies, and when killed they drop ingredients that add permanent buffs to future meals -- crit, tenacity, damage reduction, and resist shredding depending on the monster type. His ultimate is a dog-stance intimidation that immobilizes enemies in front of him while he analyzes them, stacking a debuff that reduces their damage against him and amplifies all damage they take. His normal attacks build Trust with his sword, ramping his own damage and eventually the entire team's. When paired with Marcille, meals restore her Arcana and his ultimate boosts her attack.

Laios mimics a dog’s stance, frightening enemies in front of him and immobilizing them. This stance lasts for up to 3.5 seconds, during which Laios is unable to perform any other action. For the duration of the Ultimate, Laios is immune to control effects, takes 60% less damage, and gains 60 points of Buffer, but cannot recover Energy. If Marcille is on the team, using Laios’ Ultimate will grant Marcille the Loyal Hound effect, boosting her Attack Rating by 40%.
At the start of battle, Senshi sets up a pot of food to cook at the edge of the battlefield. Every 8 seconds, Senshi completes a meal and distributes it to all allied heroes, restoring health equal to 200% of Laios’ Attack Rating. For 6 seconds after an allied hero consumes a meal, their Attack Rating is increased by 30% and they gain an extra 20 Energy when healed. This Energy recovery effect can be triggered up to 10 times for each meal eaten. Marcille recovers an additional 50 Arcana for each meal eaten.
While Laios survives, the battlefield will be infested with monsters. Periodically, dreafs, slimes, or fiends will appear and wander into the enemy battlefield to taunt nearby enemies and leave behind meal ingredients after being killed. When Senshi gathers these ingredients and adds them to his pot, his next meal will boost the Vitality of allied heroes by 50 points for 6 seconds. Monsters that enter battle will be affected by Marcille’s Rewrite effect if she is an allied hero.
When using his Ultimate to intimidate enemies, Laios will also analyze enemy heroes in front of him, applying 1 stack of Analysis on the enemy every 1 seconds, for a maximum of 6 stacks. Each stack of Analysis reduces the damage the enemy deals to Laios by 5%.
