Shadowrun Dwarf

From MLGWiki

Dwarves are short, sturdy, and are the most magical of all races on the battlefield. Their comparatively low movement speed and relatively low health make them best-suited to take a support role, but are still significant threats in combat.

Being highly magical, the Dwarf is able to use more magical abilities than any other race, making it easier for him to fully utilize essence-heavy abilities such as Resurrect, Summon, and Strangle. While he has a higher maximum essence than any other race, he is limited by having a much lower essence regeneration rate. This means that while he can use more magic abilities in a short period of time, the Dwarf must wait longer before casting again if he runs out of essence.

The Dwarf is able to quickly leech magical essence from any creature or summoned object near him. By standing close to anything with magical essence, the Dwarf will automatically leech it away to his own essence pool. This can leave enemy soldiers without a means to Teleport away, Trolls unable to Harden, and will destroy summoned objects like a Minion or Strangle.

While a Dwarf is usually not a frontline hit-and-run fighter like the Elf, he is quite able to hold his own in combat, as his smaller profile makes him a hard to hit target and his natural resistance to taking critical damage from headshots makes up for his slightly lower than average health.

   * Strengths: Most essence of all races, essence leech, headshot resistance  
   * Weaknesses: Low essence regeneration
