Lore: Once rooted in the fiery depths of a sun, a solar flare ejected Infernal Mandrake onto land. With a subsistence that once depended on the intense flames of a star, he now roams the land seeking sources of heat to fuel his dying form. Mandrake is a creature native to stars, but can sometimes be found residing within the cores of planets, where the intense heat is an adequate habitat for the beast.

With infinite scaling and one of the scariest ults in teamfights, Drake is best at counter engage unless he gets a Warpshard or Impact Dial. Drake lanes best with someone who can guarentee him a lance hit with a stun, or to a lesser extent, a strong slow or root. Max Lance first, as it is fairly useless lower levels. In team fights, prioritize getting your ult off over hitting the perfect 5 man ult - so long as you hit more then one person, its worth it. Focus on being on the front line, plucking their carries and squishies, and ulting before your teammates die. Run 0/3/3 talents, focusing on movespeed, health, armor, energy regen, and cooldown reduction.
