https://www.greenmangaming.com/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ForHonor_BlogBanner-1.jpg Description: After getting reviews from River King, and some approved alternatives I could try out, I thought maybe give this one a try. Disclaimer: I have not yet played For Honor, but I have seen the campaign and many gameplays on Youtube to understand the mechanics. It is an interesting mechanic and game concept, which is why I wanted to apply that here. For this concept, Apollyon's kit will be based on For Honor's gameplay. So without further a do, let's get started.

General Stats: Attack - 70% Health - 50% Magic - 10% Difficulty - 90%

Specific Stats: Health - 600 (+80 per level) Health Regen - 7.6 (+0.5 per level) Attack Damage - 60 (+3 per level) Armor - 26 (+3 per level) Attack Speed - 0.625 (+2% per level) Magic Resist - 26 (+3 per level) Movement - 340 Maximum Energy - 150

Roles: Primary - Fighter Secondary - Tank

Locations: Shadow Isles - http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141008112355/leagueoflegends/images/6/65/Harrowing_2014_promo.png Noxus - https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/51/0c/29/510c29f25c2ec0c788e83c0320b0272a.jpg

Abilities: Passive - Art of Battle http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tuC9rVc5a94/VYkQUG3rsUI/AAAAAAAAC5k/E1oZtWcvzzA/s640/blogger-image-1704740359.jpg When in combat against an enemy champion, instead of using auto-attacks, Apollyon uses a fighting stance that would protect her from incoming attacks. Three block points surround her, each pointing towards a direction. One pointing in front, and two pointing the back left and back right. By using the position of the cursor, the direction its positioned towards will be the direction that's protected. Any attacks that land on that protected direction will have a certain percentage of damage dropped.

50% Block against Ranged Auto-Attacks
Completely block melee Auto-Attacks
25% block from single target melee abilities
15% block from single target ranged abilities
10% block against AOE attacks
Melee Critical Strikes are blocked completely but cause Apollyon and her attacker to stagger
Ranged Critical Strikes are blocked by 50% but only Apollyon will be staggered
True damage cannot be blocked

If Apollyon is rooted, she will auto-matically go to her fighting stance until she is free and out of combat. If she is stunned or suppressed, she will not be able to go to fighting stance. To attack, simply press the left cursor button. Apollyon will attack at the direction towards the cursor. Attack however leaves her defenseless. Another block against her attack will cause her to stagger. But if she critically strikes the block, she and the target will stagger. Facing minions, monsters, and epic monsters would only allow her to use basic-auto attacks. For each she kills, she recovers 10 health. Fighting stance will cost Apollyon a certain amount of movement speed due to her facing towards only her target. Striking will use 10 energy. If she does not have enough, she will exhaust herself with the next strike, leaving her next attacks and blocking to be slower.

First Ability - Shoulder Bash https://imgur.com/iJL1gtX When in combat, Apollyon uses the shoulder bash at the direction of the cursor. Using shoulder bash deals physical damage and causes the target to be pushed back and staggered. This will also disable block effects. Apollyon could use this and other abilities to perform combinations of attacks.

Second Ability - Parry http://gameranx.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ForHonor21.jpg Upon blocking an attack, activating this ability will enable Apollyon to parry the attack, causing her attacker to stagger. If its a critical strike that's blocked, the target will be staggered longer. If she parrys a ranged attack, then half of its damage is deflected at a random direction. If she is out of combat, activating this ability causes her to roll.

Third Ability - Throw https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9Ie7-AY2n5U/maxresdefault.jpg Upon a successful block or shoulder bash, activating this ability causes Apollyon to lift her opponent with her should and throw them at the direction in front of her. The throwing distance depends on how long the activation button is held. Throwing the enemy against the wall deals physical damage and stuns them. Carrying the enemy against the wall deals more physical damage but the target is stunned and Apollyon will stagger. If Apollyon is stunned, rooted, slowed, or suppressed, she will lose grip of the target and throw it, while she trips, losing the ability to block.

Ultimate - Revenge https://thumbs.gfycat.com/SpanishWindyIndianrockpython-size_restricted.gif Once the revenge bar is filled, activating this ability causes Apollyon to enrage and stagger all of her attackers surrounding her. Each of her attacks move faster and her strikes deal 10% bonus true damage. Activating Revenge will disable all her currently active negative effects, including suppression.

Note: "Stagger" is a negative effect when the victim's attacks are interrupted and stunned for less than a second.

Lore: "In my previous life, my work has been done. Warriors across the nations have relived the life they were meant to fight for. But it seems that my services are needed elsewhere in a different world.

This Valoran as they called it. It is unlike anything I have ever seen before. All those stories I've heard as a child, they were always believed to be fairytales. Fictional legends. Now I see that these stories have come to existence in another world.

From my experience with this new world, there was once a peaceful land, now known as the Shadow Isles that has gone corrupt due to a great cataclysm. Those who once lived this place were too weak to endure its great disaster. But it has grown the potential to regain its glory by passing on its evil sorcery all across this Runeterra.

It however lacks a leader to fulfill its cause, and I was chosen to lead them through that cause. I have proven them my strength, my will, my cunning skills against their dark forest. And I was granted immortality to ensure that only a worthy leader like myself would lead this nation to its former glory.

Though I do not care for immortality. My intentions were meant for elsewhere. Upon the great continent of Valoran, there exists other nations of warriors who have the potential to triumph over their greatest foes, yet most of them have promoted their weakness by living in the Wisdom of Peace.

Demacia disgusts me. It may stand as the most powerful nation in all of Valoran, yet they only grow weaker the moment they settled a truce with its rival nation.

Noxus in particular, the ancient rival of Demacia, proves to have the strength and will to expand through war, but their greatest weakness is their incompetance. Only depending on strength, nothing more. So I've traveled across the world to challenge their leader and its greatest, to prove to them that I am the example of what the greatest of warriors should dream to become greater.

Though I am most curious at this other nation. It is unlike any I have ever seen before. Piltover. Such an odd name but quite fitting for such an odd culture. Trade? Art? Forward thinking? Innovation? How could such a nation so fragile become so powerful with such risks? Then I see that this nation has proven to have the true potential to dominate the world with its technology. Guns. Now that's a weapon that surprises me. A small device that fires a piece of lead that penetrates through armor and flesh, turning a mere mortal into an equal of a god. This was the perfect nation to challenge other nations, and it was my duty to rise them to the challenge.

There were other nations I've discovered that would make a great challenge to the nation of Piltover. Ionia and its sorcery, Targon and their most discipline of warriors, Shurima, a nation returning itself to its righteous glory, the Freljiord, home to barbarians alike, reminds me of home.

These nations have the talent of warriors but to promote peace is what makes them cowards. Its one reason why the Shadow Isles is what it is now because of the people's weakness. If I attempt to declare war on the other nations, it would only end quickly with my imprisonment. There had to be a way for these nations to become who they really are.

Then one day, I've discovered the Summoners and this League of Legends where only the most powerful of warriors gather to fight in one arena, to prove their strength, their courage, will, and cunning. For whatever the reason, it did not matter. They were there, and they were there to fight for their own cause. It seems I have found my place, and the perfect opportunity to continue with my plan. I will join this League of Legends and I will influence this world to fight for who they are. Perhaps one day invite them to fight against my world to see if my people were up to the challenge.

This will be a new age of wolves." - Apollyon

I'm gonna have to make this concept shorter than I would usually make it. I won't have time to put that much effort into my character before the contest entry closes. Hopefully this gets in on time. See you soon, guys.
