Description:

On the inside of each of his forearms he has a tattoo of a skull with the dark energy symbol ([url]http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Darkness_Energy_(Basic[/url])) on the forehead.

Hidden Passive: Fears and Terrifies affect him for 10% less time.

Passive:Nightmare Bringer:

After casting an ability, Darkness next basic attack in 8 seconds will deal bonus magic damage equal (50% AD)(+50% AP) and fear the target for 1./1.5/2 seconds. The fear can only affect a target once every 8 seconds.

Specific Details: Darkness main CC ability ties in well with the rest of his kit. The fear doesn’t always proc to keep opponents to be forever CC’ed. There is a 2 second cooldown between procs(same as the Sheen cooldown).

Q:Nightmare Eater/Terror Scream:

Passive: Enemies that are feared or terrified lose 1%/1.5%/2%/2.5%/3% of their current health per half second. Darkness heals for 50% of the damage done.

Active: Darkness unleashes a horrific wail terrifying all nearby enemies for 1.5/1.75/2/2.25/2.5 seconds and does 50/75/100/125/150(+50% AP) magic damage.

• Cost: 80 Mana
• Cooldown: 10 seconds
• Passive Range: 1000
• Range: 500

Specific Details: Darkness main AOE CC and a decent source or damage. The passive is great since his entire kit is based around fearing and terrifying enemies. This also means he has good synergy with Nocturne, Volibear, Shaco, Fiddlesticks, and Hecarim.

W: Clouded Vision:

Passive: Darkness is not revealed by stealth wards, traps sight ranges, or scrying orbs/clairvoyance. This effect ends whenever he auto attacks an enemy or casts an ability.

Active: Darkness shrouds all sources of enemy vision for 3 seconds and decreases enemy sight range by 500 in a large area.

• Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 Mana
• Cooldown: 45 seconds
• Range: 2500

Specific Details: Darkness way to just mess with the enemy, works in a similar fashion as Nocturne’s Paranoia. Designed so that enemies know that he is around but they don’t know where he is. All they should know is that he is coming for them, and they should be afraid, very afraid. Also works well for covering up important neutral objectives, such as Dragon and Baron.

E: Sucker Punch:

Darkness jumps to target enemy doing basic attack damage and dealing a bonus 30/40/50/60/70(+60% bonus AD) physical damage. This ability applies on hit effects.

• Mana Cost: 50 Mana
• Cooldown: 10 seconds
• Range: 700

Specific Details: Darkness main gap closer and a good way to jump onto an enemy carry. It applies on hit effects allowing him to proc his passive when he goes to gank.

R: No Escape:(Credit to Yuan Lee for this idea, thanks man)

Darkness teleports himself and target enemy champion to a small arena (900 unit diameter) for 10/12.5/15 second. While in this arena, Darkness drains 3%/4%/5% (+1.5% for every 100 AD) (+1.5% for ever 100 AP) max health from all enemies in the arena per second, healing for 100% of that damage, and gaining a 30%/40%/50% damage and CC duration reduction bonus. This drain instantly kills traps and wards placed.

• Cost: 150 Mana
• Cooldown: 150/125/100 seconds
• Range: 400

Specific Details: Allows Darkness to single out and delete an enemy target from the fight. It also can be used to remove high sources of enemy damage or a big part of the enemy front line.

Basic Backstory

Darkness was one of the first members to join newly formed Sentinel Squad. He was found and brought back to Sentinel headquarters after he blacked out a good fourth of Detroit. He and his best friend Hoodlum joined the squad and became quickly respected after they told them why Detroit was blacked out. Darkness is now married to fellow member Shadow and is a master of stealth.

“Those who let the shadows take them in will quickly learn that the world is not a happy place, it never was. Those who are forced into the shadows though, will find themselves dead before they can react.” –Darkness, on the art of shadows.
