Drak'Kai - Bane of the Skies (Champion Concept - Full Abilities/Lore)

Drak'Kai - Bane of the Skies Primary Role: Fighter Secondary Role: Tank

Lore Far and wide, the lands of Runeterra were covered in the fearsome beasts they call dragons. And for as long as there have been dragons, there have been those who hunt them. Dragonslayers were among the fiercest warriors; agile in their movements, deadly in their strikes, strong in their resolve. They faced down the fearsome creatures with such might behind not even in the mightiest kingdoms of age.

Their reputation among the citizens of Runeterra though were that of bounty hunters. This did not stop Kai, a young stable master from the outskirts of Demacian society. He longed to find and kill the terrorsome beasts and claim the glory that so many others had found. Stealing a sword and shielf from the Quatermaster's stores, he stole away in the middle of the night on one of his horses in search of his future.

A couple of weeks into his journey he finally found what he was searching for: a dragon. Not just any though, this was plenty of times bigger than Kai himself and at least doubly as terrifying. The dragon roared his might, yet Kai stood in the face of the dragon's wrath. Jumping from his horse, he striked out at the dragon. He lodged his sword into the dragon's foot, piercing through it's hide and dislodging one of it's talons. The dragon shrieked and jumped back.

Without a weapon in hand, Kai searched for a weapon. Any weapon. He saw and seized the dragon's talon, and faced to oncoming dragon. The dragon, roaring in it's triumph, snapped its claws around Kai and swallowed him completely whole. As the dragon was about to take off, it felt a pain it had not felt in it's long entire history. As Kai burst through the belly of the beast, the dragon's fire escaped out through the hole and consumed Kai in a flurry of fire. No longer without the power to fight on, the dragon collapsed on the ground.

When the flames dispersed, it was not just the dragon left in it's place: Kai stood unscathed as the fire retreated from his immense form. Kai looked down at himself and noticed something unusual: the flames had not left him entirely unscathed. In his left hand he held the dragon's talon, completely ablaze in it's glory. In his right hand, the veins glowed red with his blood and the dragon's fire. Infused with a new found power, Kai took the name Drak'Kai, the solo dragon slayer. No longer the stable master from his village, Drak'Kai left in search of greater glory than being a dragonslayer gave him.

Visual Effects Drak'Kai carries an elongated dragon talon in his right hand that lights into flames upon attacking or with certain abilities. His right hand is burned and scarred but radiates a powerful red aura that is Drak'Kai's blood infused with dragon flame. Upon critically striking, he will lash out with his burning hand and cause flames to burst out. On normal attacks, he will use a mixture between 1-handed and 2-handed sword strikes with his dragon talon.

Abilities

Passive Ability - Inner Fire Ability One (Q) - Scorching Claw Ability Two (W) - Devouring Flames Ability Three (E) - Talon Strike Ultimate Ability (R) - Burning Retaliation

Inner Flame Drak'Kai replaces his resource with Fire. Basic attacks and spells generate 5 Fire over 2 seconds. While his Fire is below 50 Fire, he gains +1 Fire resource per second until he reaches 50. While his Fire is above 50 Fire, he loses 1 Fire per second. While Drak'Kai has between 35 - 65 Fire, his basic attacks deal 6 (+2 x level) bonus true damage. While Drak'Kai's Fire levels are between 65 - 99, his basic attacks cause the true damage to deal 50% damage as splash true damage to enemies within 225 range of the original target. If Drak'Kai reaches 100 Fire the fire within consumes him and afflicts him with Burning Rage, causing the true damage and splash damage to double until his Fire reaches 0. While afflected by Burning Rage, Drak'Kai loses the passive resource generation per second and loses 10 Fire per second until reaching 0, but he can continue to generate Fire from his basic attack and spells.

Scorching Claws Drak'Kai channels the dragon fire into his arms and claws, giving him a bonus 25%/35%/45%/55%/65% attacks speed and causes every third hit to deal 20/50/80/110/140 (+0.25/0.35/0.45/0.55/0.65 bonus attack damage) bonus magic damage. Scorching Claws lasts up to 4 seconds.

9.0/8.5/8.0/7.5/7.0 seconds

Devouring Flames Drak'Kai passively causes his true damage from Inner Fire to devour and reduce the target's armour by 8/9/10/11/12% for 2 seconds. If Drak'Kai is afflicted by Burning Rage, The armour reduction is increased to 16/18/20/22/24% for the duration of Burning Rage. Drak'Kai slams his burning claw into the ground, causing (After a 0.5 second delay) a fissure to appear under an area and explode upwards in a pillar of flame, dealing 70/110/150/190/230 (+0.60 Attack Damage) magic damage and slowing enemies caught by the flames for 10/11/12/13/14% (+1.0/1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0% per 100 Attack Damage).

Cooldown: 16/14/12/10/8 seconds

Talon Strike Drak'Kai dashes in a line, slicing enemies caught in his path with his dragon talon for 80/120/160/200/240 (+0.75 Attack Damage). Minions and monsters take 80% damage. If Drak'Kai runs into an enemy champion while using Talon Strike, he stops infront of the champion and flips over his target, landing on the opposite side and stunning the target for 0.75 seconds. Upon encountering an enemy champion, he will not dash any further.

Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds

Burning Retaliation Drak'Kai enters a highly defensive stance for 3 seconds. If he is struck by a basic attack in this time, he will dodge the attack, blink behind the target and jump into the air with his target. Both targets become untargettable for 0.75 seconds while in the air. Afterwards Drak'Kai will return to the ground in a terrifying crash of flame, causing his target to take 200/300/400 (+1.20 Attack Damage) physical damage and be stunned for 1.25 seconds. If Drak'Kai is not struck while in his defensive stance, the cooldown cost is reduced by 50%.

Cooldown: 50/40/30 seconds
