Healing triggers Healing Tempo's unique effectDisabled by Slowing Hex- In the initial cast phase of Flawless Advance, Apollo will perform a lunge in the direction he's moving towards. If Apollo has no movement input (using WASD or jumping), he will stand still in his current position. This move is not affected by inertia horizontally, but it is affected vertically: If Apollo casts while jumping or falling with no input he will lunge upwards/downwards.

Background
See Apollo/Lore for more story content.
“A land of beauty, tradition and conflict; North Ixia is no stranger to brutal political violence. So when Apollo was told that it was for his own safety he was being sent to New York for school, he knew the situation was serious.
Adjusting to life at Blackmore Academy didn’t come easy to Apollo. His school was supposed to be filled with The Cursed Apple’s best and brightest but all he saw, with few exceptions, was a sea of aggressive mediocrity. Electing not to waste his time with frivolous things like parties and dances, he instead put his energy on the piste, where he rigorously trains as captain of the Blackmore fencing team.
However, at the end of the day Apollo does not fret too much on the tedium of life in New York. He knows that eventually the time will come when his father will call on him to come home and he will get to show that he is worthy of wielding his family's ancestral blade.

Trivia
- Apollo was first teased in the Hideout with a rapier over the item shop.
- A possible inspiration for Apollo is the hero concept Fencer (Apollo's original codename) by player nathanieljbrill in the Deadlock forums. The Fencer concept used a sword as the primary weapon and had the abilities to slow enemies, deflect incoming attacks, and use a charged attack.
- "Striving Towards Perfection in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Apollo in the Hideout.
