"There was once a time when murder was looked down upon. Need I say more?"

The forests and woodlands of Noxus were once controlled by the most agile and critical hunters of them all, an assassin named Serena. She devoted her time, effort, and life into serving the Noxian military by leading the Execution Squad, the deadliest of all their unit distributions. Serena's elusiveness and native ways of fighting made her an intimidating target that became well known as the Primal Huntress. Rumors even floated around that she had reflexes so quick, that she could predict and counter her opponent's moves before they even made it. While on one of her missions assigned by the Noxian military, she and a hundred other assassins stumbled upon a mysterious stone filled with energy foreign to the current day and age. The rock was massive and elderly, continously absorbing the air around it and fusing it into a bloodlike substance within it. Curiosity struck Serena as she believed that the stone's delivery to the Noxians would result in her receiving a large reward, hopefully moving her up a handful of ranks and positions. However, as her fingers made contact with the stone's surface, it exploded and sent out a wave of concealed energy that wiped the forests clean of their beauty. What was once a cherished place was an abandoned wasteland, lifeless and cold like the air that swarmed there. Hot blood rained from the skies and smoke filled the area, creating a scorching maelstrom that made escape impossible. Then, in a flash, the smoke cleared and the blood stopped falling. Everything was silent. The assassins who were thrown back from the blast woke up from their momentary blackout and stared in shock as they saw Serena on the ground caked in blood. They rushed and crowded her, but before they lifted Serena to take her back to the medical units positioned back at the Noxian military base, she fidgeted and twitched and groaned in pain. The assassins froze in place simultaneously and called her name, in which she responded with a sinister chuckle. Her voice was dark and evil, as if she had been possessed. Before another thought passed through their heads, blood sprouted from her body and hardened into pikes that impaled everyone and everything near her. Her allies fell immediately as their hearts were ruptured by the forces of the malevolent energy. Serena manifested into a darker, more powerful being than anything the Noxians had ever seen. Her newly found power was put to the test by Darius, who quickly became intrigued by the reports sent in from other districts of this so-called "monstrosity". Their differences in strength were far fetched, for he was still twice as powerful as Serena in her new state. When Darius was close to stopping the duel in thought that her power was nothing more than myth and exaggeration, Serena's power escalated far beyond comprehension and she bursted him down with a flurry of attacks. By the time Darius knocked her unconscious as a result of being taken by surprise, his armor was horribly dented. Without a doubt in his mind, Darius could see the hidden potential within her, the killer instict that could put down the strongest of men. And thus, the legend was recognized and renamed as Blood Huntress.

Passive (Innate) - Artery Strike: On Serena's third attack she deals 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 120 / 130 / 140 / 150 / 160 / 170 / 180 / 190 / 200 bonus damage and causes her target to bleed for 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 / 95 / 100 damage over 5 seconds.

Q - Bloodflash [Mana cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80] [Cooldown: 15 / 13 / 11 / 9 / 7]: Serena dashes to an enemy champion and strikes, dealing 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+80% bonus AD) damage. If Bloodflash deals a killing blow, the cooldown is refunded, the mana cost is doubled, and the next cast deals an additional 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 damage up to a cap of 4 times for 3 seconds before resetting the ability back to its original effects.

W - Insult to Injury [Passive]: Serena gains a stack of blood every 10 seconds, up to a maximum of 10 stacks. Each stack reduces damage taken by 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5% with 1 stack lost each time damage is taken from an enemy champion. Active [Mana Cost: 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0] [Cooldown: 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6]: Serena unleashes her stacks of blood, stunning her target for 1 second and dealing 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 (+60% bonus AP) (+5 per stack) damage.

E - Life and Death [Mana cost: 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50] [Cooldown: 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3]: Serena attacks with both claws, dealing 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 (+60% bonus AD) damage and gaining life equal to a percentage of the maximum damage dealt to her target.

R - Decimation [Mana cost: 100 / 100 / 100] [Cooldown: 90 / 80 / 70]: Each basic attack is split into two basic attacks, each at 70 / 80 / 90% of the original damage. Additionally movement speed is increased by 30%, and Serena becomes resistant to effects which reduce movement effects.

I'm a fan of her lore but not her abilities. They seem like hybrids of existing champions. Though I do like her E

Yeah, I can see why you say that. Assassin champions are quite difficult for me to make, but I always push myself to no limits. I have to create something unique, but the abilities also have to stay within the burst damage category. And for assassins, well, abilities are starting to get quite generic. I'm not saying this as an excuse for some of my abilities holding similarities to other champions', but it's starting to get hard for poor old assassins such as Serena here. Anyway, thank you for your comment man. I'll look into that next concept.

I must say, I am actually very impressed with this.

Before I dive too deep into this, I have some questions about some things.

1: Is her Passive dealing physical or magic damage? Or half and half?

2: Is her Q on too low of a cooldown? With resets, I'd imagine you'd want to have a higher cooldown, forcing a player to use it wisely. (I hate Katarina by the way. )

3: The passive portion of W. I play a lot of poppy and it is very, ludicrous. Her passive 50% less damage taken is crazy. With out actual testing I have no way of knowing if it would be too powerful, or too slow stacking. What do you project for this?

4: For her E, what is the ratio of healing? 15%? In my mind, the higher it gets, the less damage it should do. Especially with that low of a cooldown.

5: What itemization do you plan to see on this champion?

6: That ult scares me. For a few reasons. 1, is this a passive or activate? 2, with double damage I expect two on hit effects going off. 3, do both of these attacks gain crit chance? already dealing 180% AA damage is scary. even mroe scary, with 2.5 attackspeed, you'll get 5 attacks a second.

  • Knowing, for just the onhit effects. the damage you can pull off witht his character is too dang high. In fact. I'd only use these. item 3153 item 3718 With the attack speed from this, you will deal at a minimum 16% of their current health. Plus say the 100 dmg from Devourer. Then I'd take 4 tank items and rip people apart. Now if I went assassin with 2.5 attackspeed. item 3087 item 3718 item 3153 item 3091 item 3042 item 3078 All of those, save trifoce, will go off 5 times a second. You have 8% move from statik shiv, and Trifoce plus the 30% from the ult. Good lord.... Don't forget the crazy ChampSmite true damage.

Fix some numbers, and add some clarity. But yes, honestly I do love how this chamion plays out. But she totally fits more of a bruiser. Gangplank at level 1 has the highest HP of any champ.(489) She has a 100 more than him.

She's too easy to abuse. Try to Yasuo proof her.

The passive is a bit too uninteresting. Its just extra damage. If it had interactions or effects, it might be worth something, but as it stands now its more of a passive effect on an ability than an innate. The W needs to be toned down. Thats 50% damage reduction. Against champions that open with damaging ultimates (Lux, Ezreal, Fizz, etc) it basically negates most of their set up. You need to specify how much of a % on her E. There is a world of difference between 10% and 30% and 50%. The ult needs to be adjusted as well. Thats a lot of on-hit effects. A LOT. Especially since you can't even stun or root her during the duration. Also, make sure to note the duration.
