>>>New Champion Design - Valnirath the vengeful soul<<<
NOTE: FIRST EVER CHAMP DESIGN SO PLS DONT GET AGGRO :c :c Who he is: Valnirath, the vengeful soul A dark and twisted assassin. Brought up in Noxus in an Adoption Home, he left the home at 16 and turned to a life of crime. His parents had been murdered when he was a child by the infamous murderous group led by Ekko. Valnirath’s mission is to kill Ekko, the man who killed his parents and bring peace to their graves. Kit:
Passive: Reputation Everytime Valnirath gets a kill onto an enemy champion he gains a stack of Reputation. Every stack of reputation gives him an additional +5 gold permanently on every kill following. Upon death, Valnirath loses 1 stack of reputation.
Q: Stinging blow Valnirath throws a dagger projectile in any direction around him dealing 70/85/100/120/140 (+0.6 ad). If the dagger hits a target, Valnirath can blink onto the target dealing an additional 20/30/40/50/55 damage, slowing them by 40% for 2 seconds and leaving a Mark of Execution.
W: Shadow Protection Valnirath gains 30 magic resist and 30 armour for 2 seconds. If during those 2 seconds Valnirath is attacked by an enemy, Valnirath will go invisible for 3 seconds.
E: Withering Strike Passive: Attacks against a target lower than 40% hp apply a bleed dealing 20/30/40/50/60 magic damage (+0.2 ap) per second over 3 seconds. Empowers the next auto attack to deal an additional 10/20/30/50/60 (+0.45 ad) physical damage (applies sheen and can crit). That empowered auto attack consumes Mark of Execution to stun the opponent for .75 seconds.
R: Dashing Blade
After using an ability, Valnirath can use Dashing Blade to unlock a new aspect of each of his basic abilities.
Q: Whenever Valnirath hits and utilizes the blink on his q (stinging blow), he can cast Dashing Blade for 2 seconds to blink back to the position at which he threw the original projectile.
W: If Valnirath is invisible: If Valnirath is invisible and casts Dashing Blade, Valnirath will gain +15 hp regen (ps) for 4 seconds.
If Valnirath is visible: If Valnirath is visible and casts Dashing Blade, Valnirath will gain 40% movement speed for 4 seconds.
E: After Valnirath casts Withering Strike (but does not use the auto attack), Valnirath can cast Dashing Blade to double the damage output from the empowered auto attack.
PERSONAL THOUGHTS:
- His q may just be a little too ‘
Lee Sin-like
’ but potentially the mark and cool visual effects could differentiate the two.
Playstyle:
Valnirath is an extremely potent mid lane assassin, crushing other melee mid laners with his many blinks. Building crit and maxing e will do a lot of damage in lane and at level 6 provides a great window of opportunity to jump in on your opponent and drop their health instantaneously.
Valnirath can also be a strong top laner. With many escape routes including his ult, q and w, Valnirath has the potential to be a strong pushing top laner. Note that Valnirath does not have any in-built wave clear so building a ravenous hydra or sunfire cape will be necessary for this to work.
When playing tank Valnirath, get up in the front lines and attempt to hit your q on the enemy target (adc or fed other). Valnirath’s q has no range limit so landing a q on the right enemy will normally always end with a kill for your team (with the e stun follow-up) (presuming your team is there to back you up).
When playing assassin Valnirath, stack crit and w into team fights, turning invisible once hit. Whilst invisible try and jump on an enemy squishy with your q and e+r which will normally end up with a kill for your team.
Updates: ~ Buffed Q Ratio (0.2 - 0.6) ~ Clarity on passive ~ Nerfed stun duration (1.5 seconds - 0.75 seconds)
