Attributes Assassin Secondary: Fighter

Lore: Xen was just a young thief feeling the need to enter places and take things for herself. One day while dashing through the shadows of Demacia's inner sanctums, she senses a strong presence. Xen then spots Talon lurking through the shadows looking for something, someone. She approaches Talon and he quickly vanishes amongst the shadows. Xen sprints around and finds him in an alley. He pulls out his blade and they fight but Xen doesn't know what she's dealing with but loves the rush of a fight. Talon instantly has the fight on his side. Xen then begs for mercy and he lets her go. Asking for a teacher of the arts of assassination and fighting skills, Talon gladly helps the young thief as thinking she has potential. Xen becomes a powerful assassin and then disappears never to be found again by Talon. So he returns to the search of Couteau as of losing a well taught student that could help in the finding of Couteau but he must return to search alone.

The champion sounds similar to XinZhao and has a lot of overlap with his kit.

Tbh, I dont think that lore will work, after they rework talon and most likely do a lore change on him to... He'll magically stop been part of the DU Couteau family ^^

I'm not sure if polearms are the most assassin-y weapons available, but I like your thinking outside the box. For the kit, Shadow Step doesn't need that long of a slow, have you ever been hit by a Morg Q? that's 3 seconds. She might not even need a slow if Quenching Adrenaline gave move speed for the whole time, instead of falling off in combat, like Twitch's Q. Also, I'm no numbers expert, but the ratio and base seem a bit high on Shadow Step for an ability that teleports you to the enemy, right where you want to be. Side note: what would her ult look like? The image that's stuck in my head is Xin standing in place auto-attacking with an angry look on his face (no insult intended). I'm just having trouble figuring out how that works, is it like Kat's ult in effect, where you're rooted, or more like Taliyah's Q where you essentially launch waves of damage as you travel around?

  • Simon EDIT: Suggestion for the ult mechanics, I think it would be cool if it were like Riven's Q where you get multiple casts that deal damage and make you dash forward, that just seems to fit the name and kit and such. Your thoughts?

well in my thought of want i wanted the ult to be was Xen standing there and it has like the range and cast like a lux ult by u are slashing out rapidly and multiple times not as far range as lux's ult though. and I agree the slow may be to strong thats why i made it only 20% But i may change it to just dealing damage or less beneficial. I appreciate your thoughts :)

Also might be thinking like how some champs have like rage or a different use other than mana maybe Xen uses Adrenaline that she can gain from ablities and basic attacks? Thoughts on that?

Simon Lancaster1 votes

If she were to have some other resource than mana, her cooldowns would need to be adjusted accordingly, although again, numbers aren't my forte. If you were to have her use something like Adrenaline, what do you think it would do for her? Personally, I'd want to stay away from anything too close to Tryndamere's Rage, for the sake of originality. Perhaps you could make it part of her passive, and tie it into the armour shred, as well as have it effect the power of Quenching Adrenaline? Example: P - Xen gains movement speed whilst travelling in the jungle, increasing based on level. Additionally, Xen's basic attacks against enemy Champions build Adrenaline, which grants her 5 - 15% Armour Penetration against them. W - Xen quenches her adrenaline and focuses, ignoring unit collision and gaining 10 - 35% movement speed while out of combat for 5 seconds. Upon entering combat, she gains 20 - 50% increased attack speed, as well as 5 - 15% increased attack damage. These bonuses increase based on the amount of Adrenaline consumed. (Numbers are just rough estimates)

I might think into that more it is a suggestion and option and something original and Theres only a few champs with another use of abilities than energy or mana

Also for Quenching Adrenaline the movement speed effect either cancels after 5 sec or after attacking an enemy so u only use it to catch up to an enemy it wont have effect while attacking an enemy besides the attack speed and attack damage bonus

And one last answer to make u picture it more better, like her weapon ya like you said a polearm for an assassin is new but not really an assassin-y weapon but I was thinking of it to be like a light weighted polearm that isnt huge and she'll carry it with one hand if you get what i mean
