Tessik, the Raving Thunderbolt

Reaper Review·8/1/2014, 6:13:14 AM·3 votes·1,166 views

- Tessa "Tessik" Ikaen, the Raving Thunderbolt -

Tessik is a speedy melee-ranged AP assassin. Her passive, High Voltage, enables her to lower her cooldowns the more she gets into the heat of battle, as well as empowering her abilities depending on how you sequence them.

Tessik's kit is all about high mobility and keeping on your toes. With the highest base movement speed of any champion in the League currently, as well as a repertoire of flashy and lightning-fast spells, Tessik's moves are sure to amaze both allies and enemies alike.

So, Summoner, can you keep up with the Raving Thunderbolt of Piltover?

  • Aesthetics

Body Structure: Tessik is a tall woman with a modest build. Respectably curved, especially around the hips. Though most who see her agree that her legs are her defining feature.

Hair: Tessik's hair extends down to a little past her shoulders, fanning slightly outwards as it goes down. It sports a neon/electric-blue coloration, but turns white as it descends, creating a gradient effect. Most likely dyed, but nobody knows for sure.

Eyes: Tessik's eyes are a rather vibrant shade of green, and definitely one of her more noticeable features when people aren't admiring the rest of her. May or may not actually be green contact lenses.


  • Skins

Default Skin: For her default skin, Tessik wears form-fitting dance attire, colored to match her hair. Her wrists and ankles each have a sort of glowing brace floating around them, slightly detached from her body via hexvoltage technology.

Enforcer Tessik: For this skin, Tessik wears a battlesuit similar in general design to Vi's, but noticeably less bulky and with more emphasis on her legs than her fists. It has a more refined and sleek structure, befitting Tessik's greater emphasis on her personal appearance.

Hexmagus Tessik: This skin is Tessik dressing the part of a magus, with the trademark cloak and scepter. The cloak has a high collar and is a shade of dark grey with a crisscrossing blue thunderbolt pattern on the back. The scepter is similar in design to Viktor's, but with the tip taking the shape of a hand clutching a ball of yellow lightning. The ball turns blue when a nearby enemy is charged by her passive, and fades away when her mana pool dips low. Her cloak flows down to her ankles, and she levitates on a pair of jet boots. Her autoattacks in this skin consist of her backhanding her enemies, so the scepter is just for show.


  • Lore

"Life's just one big party, and everyone's invited!" - Tessik

In the city of Piltover, the hub of hextech and center of innovation in Valoran, brilliance can be found in many places, some more unlikely than others. But perhaps no place is more unlikely than in the mind of Tessa Ikaen. Or as she calls herself on the dance scene, Tessik the Raving Thunderbolt.

By day, Tessa is a savant in the field of hexvoltage. This recently-forayed field of hextech utilizes magnetic and kinetic energies as power sources to fuel human motion, by converting said energies into forms the human body could utilize. In layman's terms, a basic hexvoltage accessory can allow a human to move about at less expenditure to their own personal stamina by drawing energy from outside sources.

By night, however, she parties on as the Raving Thunderbolt of Piltover. Equipped with her own custom-designed hexvolt braces, Tessik's movements on the dance floor are unmatched.

Between her skill as a dancer and her notoriety as a hexvoltage developer, Tessik had come to enjoy being in the eyes of the people. Her energetic and amiable personality and sheer beauty made her extremely popular with nearly everybody who knew or knew of her. But more than that, Tessik enjoyed the fact that the things she did made people happy. Her hexvoltage tech could make their lives easier one day, and her dancing could put their hearts at ease.

Occasionally, however, Tessik would hear people discussing the League of Legends. She'd heard of the League before, but hadn't given it much thought, until she saw a crowd of people one day singing praise to Jayce for a battle well fought on the Fields of Justice. Intrigued, Tessik made it a point to ask Jayce more about the League.

After hearing from him about how all the eyes of Valoran had their eyes on the League of Legends, as well as more recounts from her friend Vi, Tessik made her decision. She would represent Piltover alongside her allies on the Fields of Justice. For the chance to promote her hexvoltage innovations, for the glory of being in the spotlight, and for the chance to make her fellow citizenry of Piltover proud.

Look out, League, the Raving Thunderbolt is on the scene!

Tessik's attacks or abilities against uncharged enemy units will charge them with Voltage for 3 seconds.

While an enemy champion is charged with Voltage, Tessik's basic attacks against them will reduce her cooldowns by 1 second on-hit.


Q: Terravolt || Range: 600 || Cost: 45 Mana || Cooldown: 6 / 5.5 / 5 / 4.5 / 4

Active: Tessik releases a stream of electricity through the ground toward your cursor, dealing magic damage to all enemy units in its path. Enemies charged with Voltage are slowed, with the slow decaying over 1.75 seconds.

Missile Speed: 900 Magic Damage: 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 (+45% AP) Voltage Slow: 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 / 75%

Terravolt has no cast time and doesn't interrupt Tessik's movement, but cannot be cast in the middle of other abilities.


W: Gausspiral || Range: 350 || Cost: 70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 Mana || Cooldown: 22

Passive: Tessik's basic attacks against enemies charged with Voltage deal bonus magic damage on-hit.

Active: Tessik quickly spins and releases a magnetic pulse, dealing magic damage to enemies within the radius and pushing them to the outer edge of the pulse. Enemies charged with Voltage are pulled into melee range of Tessik instead.

First Cast: Tessik dashes to target enemy, dealing magic damage to it and leaving a mark at her starting point. If the enemy is charged with Voltage, Tessik gains maxed Attack Speed for her next two basic attacks. Tessik can activate Flashpoint again in the following 2.5 seconds.

Second Cast: Tessik backflips back to her starting point, becoming untargetable until she lands.

Magic Damage: 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 (+50% AP)

The Attack Speed bonus will last for 2.5 seconds or until Tessik has attacked twice.


R: Thunder Rave || Cost: 100 Mana || Cooldown: 90 / 75 / 60

Active: Tessik's next basic attack is supercharged; converting its damage into magic damage, dealing bonus magic damage, and charging the target with Voltage. If the target is already charged with Voltage, the attack consumes the charge and deals additional bonus magic damage equal to a percentage of the target's Missing Health.

In the next 8 seconds, Thunder Rave can be cast a second time before going on cooldown. The second Thunder Rave deals 50% reduced damage if used on the same target.

Additionally, Tessik gains 10% bonus Movement Speed and ignores unit collision while Thunder Rave is active.

Magic Damage: 100 / 150 / 200 (+100% AD) (+80% AP) Total Magic Damage to One Target: 150 / 225 / 300 (+150% AD) (+120% AP)

Did some minor number tweaking. And yeah, I'm aware that my two posted champions have similar names.

I ship this... with... EVERYTHING.

I fully support the champion, but, how much influence did you take from other champions in the League? Why the interaction with Ahri, instead of say, Vi, Cait, or Jayce?

I FULLY SUPPORT THIS CHAMPION JOINING THE LEAGUE. RIOT. PLS.
