(This is the Champion from the Sneak Peak (Which was then downvoted - thanks toxic people). Since Lucian came, I’ve seen many people creating Senna as a Champion, the wife of Lucian. I kind of disliked the idea, because Senna is forever lost, and even if she came alive as a human, the conflict between Lucian and Thresh would end. So I thought: Instead to make Senna alive, why not make someone that resembles her alive? First I thought of a reincarnation, but then reincarnations wouldn’t work without Senna’s soul being freed. But then it came into my mind… her daughter! )


#Lore "With my mother and father, they took everything I loved; cared for. I will hunt these wretched abominations and spare no single one of them." - Lucienna, Carrier of Hope

*"They claimed our lives, but I wasn’t strong enough. Even though I’ve learnt everything essential and important from my father and mother, they didn’t wanted me to participate. They said that if I stood in their way, they might lose me. But I’m not a child anymore. But they wouldn’t listen. I thought, if I kept pushing myself and do what I was told, that one day we could live a normal life… oh how wrong I was. *

*I remember the day when my mother was taken away from us. I’ve cried until I couldn’t even see my own hands before the tears. It was a creepy place, simple trees became in the next moment horrific entities and I wanted nothing more than to leave. I screamed while my parents did slay the undead, but one of them was attracted to my scream. He threw his rusty chains on me, but my mother took the blow instead. She was gone and taken away, and since then my father was cold. I sought for my kind father, but all that was left was an empty shell, with nothing else on his mind than to take his revenge. Then he hid me as far as possible to friends of my parents. He thought I would be safe until he found the undead one who took my mother, but the undead never rests. *

Days felt like weeks and weeks felt like months. I remember how slowly the winter came; we used to sit in front of the fireplace, as we were the only ones in the wilderness. It was then when I heard a strange sound. It kind of attracted me to go outside. The others warned me to not go outside, but I couldn’t resist. I had the same feeling on the day when my mother was taken away from me. I went outside, but I found nothing. In the next moment, a gigantic shadow appeared above me and did land on the house, destroyed it and killed them. It was a big three headed hound; you could tell in their eyes how murderous they were. For one moment, I couldn’t move. It was not fear what I felt, it was pure hatred; hatred for these abominations like the one in front of me, who took away everyone I know. I took a wooden bar and charged for it, but he simply lifted his pawn and threw me away. He turned away and slowly walked as if I was no threat to him.

I screamed at him, for what he and his kind did to me. That my father might be already killed by the undead with chains. I insulted him and threw stones at him. It was then when he turned back to me, and began to speak. I was astonished by his words; he told me that he is not one of the undead, but served once his undead rider. The one who took his rider, was the undead with chains, the Soul Collector; and since then, he chases the Chain Warden. I told him that I was the daughter of a Purifier, and with his help, we both could find the one who inflicted so much pain to us. Since then, my familiar and friend is Wrex, and with him I will continue where my mother stopped. I will hunt these mindless beasts, I will kill those soulless murderers and end the reign of the living dead on Runeterra."


#Appearance
Lucienna looks pretty much like this down below. She rides on top of the Cerberus. The artist is Sinclay and I’d be happy if you share a comment on how good this picture is.

Since there is no armoured Cerberus on the internet, I had to draw it with my bad skills.
This is Wrex. He is a three-headed hound, who is armoured and murderous. I will explain later how unique he really is.

#Champion Explanation

  • Lucienna (Comes from Lucienne, which is the female version of Lucien, which is the French form of Lucianus and thus Lucian is the English form. Yet, is a combination of Lucian and Senna) is 19 years old and a very dutiful and disciplined person, like her father and mother. She inherited the kindness of her father, and the dedication of her mother.
  • *Lucienna wants to kill all undead ones, but her main target remains to be Thresh, the Chain Warden. Wrex, the three-headed hound’s target is Thresh, but for Lucienna, he slains all foes. Wrex is very loyal, that is why he chases Thresh for taking his Rider from him, but slowly accepts Lucienna as his new rider. *
  • *Wrex is not a Shadow Isles creature, even though he looks like one. He’s a exception of Nature, and strangely enough, every one of his head has a own personality, voice and mind. From the picture above, the furthest head is shy and looks sometimes afraid. The nearest head is the wisest one, who is still aggressive, but knows to handle the heat. The middle head is probably the one who decides to walk and what to do. He’s the rebel type and the most aggressive of the three. *
  • *Wrex was the three headed hound in Tocharian’s Prologue who defended the last stage in the black tower on Shadow Isles. He normally has a rider who fights with him, but he was taken by Thresh, thus Wrex couldn’t defend the tower on his own. Wrex wanted to defend the tower of his past Rider, because he couldn’t do anything else. When Tocharian, the Lost Conqueror conquered the tower, Wrex could do nothing but to flee. Since then, he chases Thresh, because he has nothing left. *
  • *Lucienna is the new Rider of Wrex. She rides on his back, controls him and fights with him. They are a great team, because Wrex dominates the enemy and Lucienna provides him with magic, such as health. *
  • *Lucienna is best played as jungler, but can also be a great addition for jungle or top lane. The best way to build her, would be to balance health, attackspeed and raw AD. *

#Stats
Health 445 (+81) Attack damage 54 (+3.1)
Health regen. 7 (+0.78) Attack speed 0.625 (+2.9%)
Mana 235 (+44) Armor 22 (+3.0)
Mana regen. 7 (+0.55)
Magic res. 30 (+0.40)
Range 135 (Melee) Mov. speed 335

#Abilities

#Innate Passive - 'Fountain of Hope':
*Whenever Lucienna’s health is below 35%, she starts casting an absorption barrier around her and Wrex. For the next 2.5 seconds, the damage they receive will after 2.5 seconds, heal them by 60%/80%/100%/120%/140%/160% (Champion Level 1/4/7/10/13/16) of the damage received previously. This has a Cooldown of 220/160/100 (1/10/15) seconds. *

#Q (Lock-On) – ‘All For One ‘:
*Within Basic Attack Range, the left and right head of Wrex bite the target’s legs while the middle head keeps damaging the target. For 1.5/2/2.5/3/3.5 seconds, the target is slowed by 40% and Wrex deals based on his Attack Speed with every hit [150% Base AD] + 25/35/45/55/65(+25% AD) physical damage. Whenever the target stands still and is not moving, the slow is increased by 10% additionally, up to a max of 30%. *

  • Info: Flash, Dash, Stun, Snare, knock back and knock ups will break up the ability. For the duration of this ability, Wrex is kind of bound to the target and gets dragged and can recast to get off of the target. The slow is only applied within the duration of the skill and ends when the animation is over or upon recast. Applies On-Hit effects such as Lifesteal etcetera. While active, other abilities can be cast as well, except Ultimate.
  • **Mana Cost: ** 55/65/75/85/95
  • **Cooldown: ** 16.5/15.5/14.5/13.5/12.5 after the ability ends

#W () - 'Outbreak'
*Upon activation, Lucienna enhances Wrex movement speed with magic. Wrex gains for 3.5 seconds +35%/40%/45%/50%/55% movement speed bonus. *
Upon Recast: Wrex jumps within 500 range, to the designated location and upon arrival, howls and fears all enemies in a 450 range circle around him for 1.5 seconds.

  • Info: Can be only recast if Outbreak is active. Movement Speed will still be active after recast.
  • **Mana Cost: ** 60/65/70/75/80
  • **Cooldown: ** 19/17/15/13/10

#E (Lock-On) - 'Purify':
On enemy unit: *Via lock-on within 650 range, Lucienna purifies the target’s body and takes its life essence. By doing so, she deals 55/70/85/100/115(+45% AP) magic damage. Whenever she takes the life essence, she stores them, up to a max of 2/4/6/8/10 at once. *
On ally unit: Via lock-on within 650 range, Lucienna purifies an ally target and infuses it with one of her stored life essences. She heals the ally target by 40/50/60/70/80(+1 for each 1% missing health of the target).

  • Info: Lucienna can target herself too to heal herself. Can be cast while walking. Animation wise, Lucienna rips the life essence and it flies to her; and if sent to an ally, then she sends the life essence, thus makes a 0.3 seconds delay.
  • **Mana Cost: ** 45 at all ranks
  • **Cooldown: ** 9.5/8.5/7.5/6.5/5.5

#Ultimate - 'Roarity ':
*Wrex roars heavily in a narrow, but 650 range long cone. Enemies hit by the roar, receive 125/175/225(+50% AP)(+50% Bonus AD) magic damage and will be stunned. Enemies directly in front of Wrex or in the middle of the cone, are stunned by 1.5/2/2.5 seconds, while enemies on the edge of the cone, are stunned by 0.5/1/1.5 seconds. *

  • **Mana Cost: ** 100
  • **Cooldown: ** 120/110/100

#Concept Explanation

Lucienne offers some new and old skills, combined in a new kit. She is a great supportive Champion, who can be played as Support, Jungler or Top laner. In a fight, she can move fast and jump onto her targets, causing them to fear and tremble before her three-headed hound. She can heal others and sustain as a durable fighter, but has also weaknesses.

  • Innate Passive gives Lucienna’s kit more support to initiate and engage, although a risky one. Her passive won’t be activated if she avoids damage, but receiving too much damage can kill her.
  • Her Q allows to slow a single target for few seconds, while dealing damage. Best for assaults or ganks.
  • The W allows her to increase movement speed and upon recast, jumps to a location and fears all enemies inside.
  • E is probably the most evil ability of her kit. Upon damage, she draws the enemy life essence, and then can heal herself or ally units.
  • Last, but not least - The Ultimate can disable a whole enemy team, but in order to do so, positioning and aim is very important.

Lucienne is strong against low mobility Champions, who lack in escape ability, as Lucienne’s engages can be easily avoided otherwise. Lucienne is weak against burst Champions, who could theoretically kill her before her passive starts to heal.

How to play against Lucienna

  • When Lucienna’s passive is activated, she shines green (Not Wrex himself).
  • Keep in mind, that once Lucienna’s passive is active, you should either finish her off or wait until her passive is over.
  • Once Lucienna used her Q on you, keep in mind that if you stay still, the slow will increase. Attack her, dash away or use heavy CC to keep her off.
  • If Lucienna activated her W, be prepared that she might jump on you. Use that to your advantage.
  • If Lucienna uses her E on her or an ally, she won’t use it to damage you. Keep that in mind.
  • Lucienna’s Ultimate starts up, thus means you can dodge it or atleast try to go on the edge. You could outsmart her, if she’s directly in front of you, to cast it wrong.

I was joking about the quote, but she IS a champion does need some work. Hmm id be able to help you more if you tell me the arch type that you were trying to project, whats her niche, how would people play her, her position? Is she a tank?, a jungler, a fighter? The kit that you have given makes it hard (at least for me thats why im asking for clarification) to pick out what it is you were really going for here. To me it feels like Wrex could really be his own champion without Lucienna. I like that you are trying to a make a rider champ, thats cool. But if you look at Sujuani you will see that she is not entirly dependent on her boar to to all the damage. It seems that all her abilites have to go through Wrex first, like she could be a support champ that specializes at working with Wrex, but not as they are one champ together. I also dont really feel that Lucienna would really be Lucian's daughter, sorry? Her passive is good, it fits I think (but I cant really tell, because I cant see her arch type correctly, this actually goes back to the quote. Would a Beacon of hope really say that. If you gonna give a champ a certain title, then every fiber of thier very being should match that title, that arch type. Were you really trying to create a Carrier of Hope or were you trying to create something a bit different? Because her kit does not really scream CARRIER OF HOPE, it screams IM OGONNA FUQING KILL YOU WITH MY BADAZZ DOG AND YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH IT, which isnt nessacerily a bad thing, the problem is one of character consistency, thats what Im getting at here) W's OK but I feel that it could have more of her in it. Her E just doesnt seem to fit either, it has her in it, but like I said I cant pick out what her position and what shes supposed to be like or do, so its very hard to me to judge this concept to the best of my ability, because I dont know what you were aiming for.

I feel that shes more a revenger like her intended father, who is using any means nessassary to exact that revenge, which is why she teamed up with a Hell Hound, But dont you think she'd want more of the action for herself?

Im not hating, but I feel that this idea could be refined an made a little better, I only want to help becasue even thought Riot says they dont want us making champs for the goal of them being implemented in the game, I cant help but think about how my and everyone else champs would be like in the game. And I want all of our creations to be AWESOME in the game, and that includes yours.

That quote...you totally nailed her has the carrier of hope! :D "I will hunt these wretched abominations and spare no single one of them." Thats totally the carrier of hope talking. lol she has a good conecpt, a good idea to build off of but she neds wurk

Godhri11/13/2014, 11:54:51 PM2 votes

Based on the lore and particularly the quote, I don't really understand how she is the "carrier of hope". As one commenter already stated, she is more likely to be an avenger. She isn't driven by hope nor does she inspire any (based on lore given) therefore, it is both misleading and incorrect to call her the "carrier of hope". Also within your lore, there is no explanation for how she possesses the abilities that she has now. Did she always possess the ability to steal the life essence of others? If so, how? Where did she learn magic? How did she learn magic? These are essential questions you need to answer in order for your lore and skill set to make sense.

With regards to your abilities, there is far too much hard crowd control available. You have two aoe hard CC abilities. The W ability's area of effect is relatively large too. Not to mention the low cool down come late game.

Other than what I've pointed out above, I like your concept.

I Love this concept, but like stated below I would consider changing her story a bit to more reflect that she is not so much seeking vengeance on thresh as trying to find out what happened to her parents. Make her and Wrex not know fully what happened, and be in search for the truth, and make her just a smidgen younger. Also consider the intended role and how she would interact with other champions abilities and consider adding that to the synopsis.

I feel just a Cerberus champion would be cool but a Cerberus rider is iffy because Cerberus is an untamed beast from the underworld but like the idea definitely.

Shamont11/10/2014, 1:25:59 AM1 votes

I do like the idea, its unique and original. Ive seen your other work and its amazing, but on this one what you in progress here is a bit off your game, you were definitely on top of your game when you made Tocharian. I just feel that the thoughts are there you just need to define your direction, and from there on only greatness can ensue.

Thanks i get it now, and after re-reading your champ, I found that its really awesome and you did a great job, GG
