Passive

Error Macro
Opponents start the fight with Soul Siphon DOT, which takes 10% of their health and prevents recovery over 30 seconds (even if Ermac is tagged-out or defeated). Soul Siphon DOT is not affected by any modifiers or resistances. When Ermac is defeated (and is not the last one on his team) he explodes dealing massive damage to an active opponent.

Role

Klassic Ermac supplies opening Soul Siphon attrition without requiring him to remain active.

Strengths

His stated siphon continues while he is out or defeated, allowing a stronger active fighter to handle the direct exchange.

Weaknesses

The health loss develops across the stated time rather than arriving instantly; his defeat explosion additionally requires another teammate to remain.

Best teams

Durable or controlling allies give Soul Siphon time to contribute while avoiding unnecessary losses just to trigger Ermac's explosion.

Where to use

Use him when an opening health-based attrition effect can support the fight, planning survival through its duration instead of expecting immediate burst damage.
