What the Nuker archetype is

Nuker heroes dominate in the ranked-meta phase where burst matters more than sustained damage. Their strength is in short 3-second windows when the combo lands fully. Through the Umbrella subscription, the Combo Builder auto-cast chains spells into an instant cast with a 0.1 second reaction.
