Samara, The Darkened Rose

The Dreamwalker··4 votes·670 views

Hi everyone. For this champion I am combining a few things for her theme. Anyways, let's get to it.

Name: Samara

Creature Type: Dark Valkyrie (or Winged Demon, not sure yet)

Related to: Black Roses (because of their beautiful yet sinister nature)

Weapon: Twin whips (rose like handles)

Homeland: Noxus

Friends: Morgana

Rivals: Kayle

Lane: TOP

Class: Fighter

Secondary: Assassin

Powers

Passive: Unholy Judgement

Every 18 seconds (decreases by .75 seconds per level), Samara gains Unholy Judgement for the next 6 seconds. While this is active, if Samara kills an enemy with an ability it shall have no cool down.

Enemies killed by Unholy Judgement are marked with The Rose's Thorn. Only one enemy can be marked at any given time. An enemy marked with this will take in 10% (+5% AP) (+1.2 per level) increased magical damage from Samara once falling below 40% health. If someone marked, kills or helps kill Samara their mark is removed. If Samara kills another champion, the mark will move to them.

Q: Kiss of Death

Range: 1175

Mana: 50/54/58/62/66

Cool down: 12/10/8 (decreases by 2 per 2 levels)

Type: Skillshot

Damage: 40/70/100/130/160 (+90% AD) physical damage.

Snare Duration: 1.5 (all levels)

_Samara lashes out with one of her whips in a straight line, damaging all it hits. If she connects with an enemy champion, they are snared for 1.5 seconds. If Samara re-activates this ability during the snare, she will pull herself towards them. _

W: Wicked Winds

Range: (Size of Darius' spinning axe ability)

Mana: 55/60/65/70/75

Type: AoE

Cool down: 16/14/12/10/8 seconds

Damage: 60/85/110/135/160 (+60% AD) physical damage to all in the circle. This can crit for 50-100% damage based on the health % of her targets.

Damage Second Rotation: 60/85/110/135/160 (+0% AD) physical damage (can crit).

Unique: Samara can cast this and move. This strikes twice first clock-wise, then counter-clock-wise.

_Samara whirls her whips around her, dealing damage to all her whips hit. _

E: Evasive Tactics

Range: 500 (both for flip and strike range)

Mana: 90 (all levels)

Type: AoE

Cool down: 20/17.5/15/12.5/10 seconds

Damage: 50/65/80/95/110 (+75% AD {increases by 1.5% per ability level}).

Unique: Samara floats in the air for a second after the ability use before landing.

Samara flips backwards into the sky, lashing out with her whip. She strikes the area she began her leap.

R: Skyward Assault

Range: 665

Mana: 100

Type: Targeted Singular

Cool down: 120/100/80 seconds

Damage: 200/350/500 (+110% AD) physical damage

Unique: For 1 second, Samara is untargetable.

Samara flies into the sky, becoming untargetable. After this, she hooks her target with her whip before yanking herself into, stunning them for 1/1.25/1.5 seconds.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

Samara excels at joining a fray and unleashing hellish justice. Samara can easily 2v1 or 1v1, or she can simply lock down targets for her team. After her powers have been unleashed, she can easily retreat to safety, before re-entering the fight with Skyward Assault.

Weaknesses

Samara doesn't have much in the way of evasion, except for E. She is weak against people who can move, dodge, or other-wise avoid her high damaging AoEs. If she uses her R early, it could force her into leaving a fight. Missing her Q negates her from entering team-fights without sacrificing her R. In other words, she is too "war" focused instead of "safety" focused.

Artwork: Not my personal work, all rights belong to the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise.

Worse Kat passive every 18 seconds and why does it punish you for dying to this champion? This just makes it easier to snowball. Q sounds way to good: AOE Snare, long range and even mobility At least give it a delay. W is a mix between Darius Q and Garen E. Her E is like Fizz E, maybe reword it if that isn't the case Her ultimate damage is really high and doesn’t E already give her untargetability?

EDIT: I just noticed she's supposed to be a primary role fighter, but I wrote this comment considering her primary role is assassin

Worse Kat passive every 18 seconds and why does it punish you for dying to this champion? This just makes it easier to snowball.

The passive looks good, maybe a little bit too weak. Gameplay-wise it can punish for dying for the same reason rengar gains AD per champion killed, and it fits the passive's name and her role as an assassin. I'd advice reducing a bit the damage and changing the mechanic to a damage stacking on enemies for each time you kill them (think of rito's ban strikes for instance), so that you don't have to not focus anyone during teamfights to keep the bonus damage on the enemy carry.

Q sounds way to good: AOE Snare, long range and even mobility At least give it a delay.

It sounds like the delay would be a cast time (similar to Illaoi's Q), if not, the speed would need to be slow to compensate. Since you can dash, it sounds like the Q would stop at the first champion hit, meaning it roots only one champion.

Her E is like Fizz E, maybe reword it if that isn't the case

Could be me, but I imagined something like a backflip (think about singed E on yourself) dealing damage. Too similar to fizz's E indeed, but if it's the way I thought of it should still be ok (many similar skills between different champions, as long it doesn't feel like a weaker version of another skill (in this case you would only be able to backflip but you have much longer range))

Her ultimate damage is really high and doesn’t E already give her untargetability?

Agreed on the damage and invulnerability, that much point and click damage with good range and even stunning if it doesn't kill would be toxic. I'd advice going for something more like 250/400/550, maybe even 200/350/500, base damage to keep a good ratio and keep her an assassin scaling on AD (rather than being abused as black cleaver juggernaut).

Why tho? It seems like a fine artwork.

Oh, oops I have that backwards.

Similar to Veigar too. He gains 5 AP per champion kill.

Yea, there is a slow movement (kind like Lux's).

Since you can dash, it sounds like the Q would stop at the first champion hit, meaning it roots only one champion.

Exactly.

It is more like a backwards (longer ranged) Kindred flip.

I see. I will do some revising at my early moment of freetime.

I do like that artwork.

Similar to Veigar too. He gains 5 AP per champion kill.

What I meant by that is that the damage would be increased only on a champion you killed, to keep it similar to your passive, but the increased damage would be a permanent debuff for that unit and would be increased further for each stack, each time you kill them.

Yea, I know what you meant. I was saying Veigar gained 5 stacks of AP every time he killed someone. I understand the other part better now. I was a tad confused. I am unsure if I want that to be something. If I did implement that, I would keep the "if you kill Samara" but instead it would lower the stacks held against you.

It's not an AoE snare. It damages all units hit, but stops at the first champion, snaring only the enemy champion.

W is a mix between Darius Q and Garen E.

Yea, I see that.

Her E is like Fizz E, maybe reword it if that isn't the case

I see the confusion. No, it isn't like Fizz at all. I will work on re-wording.

Her ultimate damage is really high and doesn’t E already give her untargetability?

No, she can be cc'ed, damaged, etc. during her E. Actually, the damage is normal for physical damage champions. Xin Zhao has 110% AD ratio along with high damage.

I won't be removing the picture. I like it far to much, and it captures everything that my concept is about.
