Io Lore & Background Story

Io is the fundamental force of attraction — the binding energy that holds atoms together and stars in orbit. It communicates in frequencies beyond mortal hearing and bonds with allies at a molecular level. Where Io goes, its partner follows — across lanes, across the map, across dimensions. As one of the four fundamentals alongside Enigma, Chaos Knight, and Keeper of the Light, Io binds the others together — without attraction, even chaos and light would drift apart into nothing.
