Hazard possesses the basic tank trait. Apart from that, he has a passive ability called Vault, and five other specials to round out his kit.

His abilities are:

• Vault (passive) - He can grab ledges and scale up short walls.
• Bonespur (primary fire) - Hazard’s primary weapon, which is a shotgun-type weapon launching a burst of spikes. It can deal a significant amount of damage up to 15m range, after which damage falloff starts.
• Spike Guard (secondary fire) - Hazard receives a 65% damage reduction while firing homing spikes at nearby enemies and objects, except barriers. Hazard cannot use any other ability while Spike Guard is active. It is also important to note that any type of stun or knockback will interrupt Spike Guard.
• Violent Leap (LShift) - Hazard jumps forward. Upon activation again, it slashes enemies in range and knocks them back.
• Jagged Wall (E) - Hazard launches a spike wall forward, which damages and knocks back nearby enemies.
• Downpour (Q) (ultimate) - Hazard rains down a volley of spikes that immobilize enemies upon impact.

With the launch of Season 15, Hazard gets two new minor and major perks:

Minor perks:

• Off the Top: Violent Leap’s Slash deals 30% more damage to enemies above 250 health.
• Reconstitution: Jagged Wall hits charge Spike Guard with 25 energy, up to 50 extra.

Major perks:

• Anarchic Zeal: Spike Guard’s spikes gain 25% lifesteal.
• Deep Leap: Violent Leap’s range is increased by 20%.
