Champ Concept - Sara, The Maiden of Noxus

Pyne··5 votes·6,149 views

I really wish there was a true Noxus support (I'm not counting Swain) so this is my crack at it! Sara is a ranged mobile enchanter aimed at healing and peeling and need to choose when to use her abilities in the right situations. Her weapon would be a javelin and she would lightly armoured, mainly a variation of red robes with the odd piece of metal work to give a Noxus vibe and long flowing hair.

Bio – Sara the Maiden of Noxus

Sara hails from a border village within a recently conquered territory of Noxus and previously worked as a wise woman, using her magic to treat the sick. Resentful of her conquerors she tried to refuse the call to arms for the Ionian Invasion but she was drafted into the medical corps for her ability. Unwilling to fully participate Sara stayed within the camp, only treating the injuries soldiers came back with until one day her garrison was attacked by a large force of Ionian peasants. Although the garrison fended off the attack the casualties were high and the number of injured was overwhelming. It was at the moment when she ran from person to person she finally understood Noxus. She has been squandering her power by sitting in camp, how many could she have saved if she had been on the walls that day? She could be stronger, she must be stronger. From that day onward Sara took up a javelin and marched with the troops fighting and treating the wounded making a name for herself across the invasion force as the Maiden of Noxus, a woman who bloodied her enemies and raised up her allies.

Passive – Crisis

The sight of her allies in danger stirs Sara to get stronger for them and Noxus. When a nearby ally is ‘in combat’ Sara becomes Empowered causing her next ability to become enhanced. Cooldown of this ability decreases with level.

Q – Spear of the Maiden

Sara throws a magical version of her javelin in a target direction dealing magic damage. The javelin then remains on the ground for 3s, allies can pick up the spear increasing their movement speed for a short time and empowering their next attack to do bonus magic damage (scales off enemy % missing health) Empowered: Enemies hit by the javelin are also rooted for 1.5s

W – Purify

Sara jumps to a location causing an expanding circle of healing magic to form. Allies are healed continuously while in the area. Total duration 2.5 seconds, circle fully expanded within 1.25 seconds. Empowered: Allies also gain a shield as well

E – Prayers of Noxus

Sara embodies the hope of the Noxus soldiers increasing her speed to reach those in need faster. Passive: Increased movement speed 10%/15%/20%/25% Active: Sara gains a pair of ethereal wings enabling her to pass through units and gain double the passive movement speed for 2s. Empowered: Sara’s auto attacks slow the enemy by 20% for the active duration

R – The Maidens Stand

Sara channels in a target direction for 3 seconds causing magical javelins to fall from the sky in front of her causing all enemies within the area to take magic damage and all allies to be healed. Sara cannot move for the duration and can be interrupted. Empowered: Enemies are also slowed by 20% and Allies hasted by 10%

Interesting but her passive seems anti synergistic with being in a duo lane. Since they would technically be in combat the entire laning phase and would only get her enhanced abilities when a jungler comes to gank. And even then you have to wait until they hot or be hit.

Also her E makes her SO fast lol.

How does her Q work? Like nidalee with a snare enhance or does it pass through minions and/or champions?

I would guess her passive isn’t just in combat with anything but specifically with enemy champions. So an ally that is constantly being poked down with enable Sara to get her passive off more.

So I guess it would function more like a Garen passive more then the typical in combat/ out of combat functionality a bunch of other buffs and items have.

Which is ok.

Seems fun for ganks and for laning phase but seems like it'll be hard to track or utilize well during late game team fights.

Either way its unique. Gives it's a trapper/counter-punch feel to me.

Yeah having it be in combat with anything like minions or jungle monsters would be stupid. Another idea to enforce the use of her passive more: take out the CD decrease per level but decrease the CD of the passive by a flat amount when an ally is hit with an ability.

This is just imo but her ult doesn’t fit with her kit and lore well. Everything fits the NOXUS! personality but her ult is just standing in the backline and firing away in a not very courageous manner. Thematically I think an ult that was an AOE similar to neekos would be better and would also support her W that can jump her into fights.

It is an interesting idea, however, the name Sara is already taken by our lovely bounty hunter MissFortune.
