ABILITIES
PASSIVE: OBFUSCATION
- INNATE: Once every 16/13/10/7 seconds, after activating one of his abilities, Cocytus may activate that ability again to render himself **invisible ** for up to 3 seconds or until he attacks or uses an ability. When Obfuscation is activated Cocytus gains a decaying 16%/19%/22%/25% movement speed bonus over 3 seconds.
Q: CURSE OF CAINA
- ACTIVE: Cocytus fires a bolt of energy in a line, dealing 80/120/160/200/240 (+0.75) magic damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by % for 1.5 seconds. After 1 second, the bolt fires out of the afflicted target and strikes each nearby enemy, dealing 35% less damage than the initial strike and slowing them by 20% less than the initial strike for 1.5 seconds.
W: ANTENORA'S REAP
- ACTIVE: Cocytus leaps forward passing through enemies. At the end of his leap, he turns back and swipes enemies in a cone dealing 60/100/140/180/220 (+0.4) magic damage. Enemies hit from behind by the crescent are dealt additional 4%/5%/6%/7%/8% (+1% per 100 ability) max health magic damage.
E – PTOLOMEA'S MARK
- ACTIVE: After a 1 second delay, Cocytus creates a ring of corrupted energy at a location. Any enemies caught in the area are dealt 40/70/110/150/190 (+0.5) magic damage and will attack their nearest ally (prioritizing champions) for 2 seconds.
R – GRASP OF JUDECCA
-
ACTIVE: Cocytus leashes himself to an enemy champion and channels for 2 seconds. If he isn’t interrupted or the leashed enemy doesn’t stray from his proximity, he takes full possession of the enemy, allowing him to control them for 3.5 seconds. Their cooldowns are reset and Cocytus may control them within a distance of the place they were possessed. The possessed champion defects, temporarily becoming a member of the opposing team; becoming targetable by and being able to target former teammates for the duration.
-
Cocytus gains the stats of the champion he possesses while he possesses them – including item effects (item cooldowns are not reset upon possession). On hit effects of items held by the possessed champion will apply.
-
Any health healed by the champion apart from regular health regen (say by Mundo’s Ultimate or Morgana’s passive) is instead applied to Cocytus at 20%/30%/40% strength.
-
Upon exiting the possessed champion, Cocytus will return to the place channelled from.
