Created and uploaded for the CWC Champion creation contest.

Original character from Touhou Project.

Niche: An assassin that sets up a zone of control and consistently strikes at enemies in a flurry once set up.

Goals:

  • Preserve attributes of the bullet hell genre.
  • Include attributes that are recognizable as Sakuya’s (time manipulation, knives floating in the air that suddenly go flying, a mess of knives, and that one time where it was mentioned that when she runs out of knives she stops time and goes to pick them back up).
  • Include attributes from Sakuya’s abilities in both the Touhou games and their 2D fighter games they’ve released.

Sakuya Izayoi The Scarlet Devil’s Maid Assassin/Mage

[P] Scarlet Maid: Passively, when Sakuya’s damaging abilities collide with enemies, they drop a Knife onto the ground, which lingers for 5 seconds. Basic abilities that strike a Knife cause it to strike after a 0.4 second delay, flying in the direction of the nearest enemy and dealing 15-40(+10% AD) true damage to enemies struck, prioritizing enemy champions as their target and stopping at the first enemy Champion struck. Enemy champions struck four times by a Knife within 2.5 seconds of each other are frozen in time, becoming stunned for 1 second and taking 60 - 120(+30% AD) true damage; this may only occur once on the same unit every 12 seconds. Enemies struck multiple times by a Knife within 1 second take 40% reduced damage for each Knife after the first.

[Q] Jack the Ripper: Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds Sakuya fires forwards four knives, with the left and right knives curving and the two knives closest to the center moving straight, each converging onto the target point. Knives stop at the first enemy Champion struck, dealing 50/70/90/110/130(+55% AD) physical damage to enemies they pass through. Targets struck by multiple shots take 50% reduced damage for each after the first.

[W] Sakuya’s Pocket Watch: Cooldown: 14 seconds Passively, striking an enemy Champion with Scarlet Maid reduces this cooldown by 0.25 seconds. Upon activation, Sakuya accelerates the speed at which she moves through time, vanishing. After a brief delay, she reappears at the target location, leaving a Knife at her starting position. After 1 second, she throws a knife to the one at her starting position, dealing 55/70/85/100/115(+35% AD) physical damage to enemies it passes through and reducing this cooldown by 1.5 seconds per enemy Champion struck.

[E] Precision Cutlery: Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds Sakuya throws a cone of three knives in the target location, each dealing 40/55/70/85/100(+45% AD) physical damage. If the knives collide with a wall, their remaining distance travelled is refreshed, causing them to bounce off of it. Knives may bounce up to a maximum of two times, and leave a Knife upon reaching their maximum range. Targets struck multiple times take 60% reduced damage for each after the first.

[R] Maid Secret Skill: “Killing Doll”: Cooldown: 150/130/110 seconds Sakuya may cast this ability three times within 8 seconds, each cast having its own effect. These may not be cast within 1 second of each other. First Cast: Sakuya propels a spiral of 16 knives outwards, dealing 20/45/70(+10% AD) physical damage to the first enemy struck. Enemies struck by multiple knives take 40% reduced damage for each knife after the first. Second Cast: Sakuya propels 16 knives outwards in 8 equidistant directions, dealing 20/45/70(+10% AD) physical damage to the first enemy struckEnemies struck by multiple knives take 40% reduced damage for each knife after the first. Third Cast: Sakuya fires a projectile in the target direction, dealing 50/100/150(+40% AD) physical damage to the first enemy Champion struck and causing Scarlet Maid to trigger on the target.

Just a clarification question for the passive, does the 40% reduction to damage stack, like the second knife deals 40% reduced damage compared to the first and then the third deals 40% reduced damage compared to the second and so on, or do all successive knives deal the same damage that happens to be 40% less than the first knife?

Then, for the Q, are the forward-moving knives close enough together that a champion could be struck by them at the same time? And if so, does one of them do 50% damage, or do they both count as the "first hit"? Also, again, does the 50% reduction stack for each successive hit, or does it only reduce all of the hits by 50% compared to the first hit?

Same question about damage reduction for the E and R.

I keep looking at the numbers and thinking that the AD scaling could be increased, but looking at champs like Katarina I'd say the scaling is fine, so good job there.

Overall nice champ, just had those clarifying questions. Anyways, good luck in the contest :)
