X-Caliber, the Ancient War Machine

Stats: Attack - 90% Health - 50% Magic - 90% Difficulty - 50%

Attributes: Primary - Marksman Secondary - Mage

Abilities:

• Passive - Core of Ancient Power The ancient core within the X-Caliber War Machine has a deadly magic aura that can kill nearby enemies as the machine falls apart. As X-Caliber loses health, the aura deals more overtime magic damage to enemies nearby. Once X-Caliber is destroyed, the core explodes in 3 seconds and deals true damage to enemies near the detonation

• First Ability - Crystal Gauss Cannons/Runic Solar Blade X-Caliber can switch between range and melee basic attacks.

Crystal Gauss Cannons X-Caliber switches to ranged basic attacks at the cost of attack speed and consumes mana per shot. While active, each cannon deals independent physical damage to the target (That means each cannon will have its own chance of dealing critical strikes. One cannon deals a critical strike but the other may not do the same). Projectiles fired can penetrate through other enemies within the path and deal less physical damage than how much is struck at the main target. While Runic Hover Stones is active, X-Caliber's Crystal Gauss Cannons have increased range. Runic Solar Blade X-Caliber switches to melee attacks at the cost of dealing less physical damage but will not consume mana and gain additional attack speed. Every fourth attack, X-Caliber's Solar Blade makes a wider swing, dealing physical damage to enemies near the target. While Runic Hover Stones is active, X-Caliber's next attack causes him to dive down to knock back his target and deal additional damage. However, X-Caliber's Runic Hover Stones will deactivate after striking the target but will have a lower cool-down time.

• Second Ability - Runic Hover Stones

Passive X-Caliber gains additional movement speed Active For 6 seconds, X-Caliber hovers in the air and can be moved freely. X-Caliber can fly over terrain, including turrets. He can only be targeted by homing ranged attacks (So skill shots and melee attacks cannot hit X-Caliber as it hovers in the air).

• Third Ability - Homing Stone Pods X-Caliber fires 6 stone pods in front of it. Each one will search for independent targets nearby, dealing AOE Magic damage upon impact. (This ability controls is like Heimerdinger's Hextech Micro-Rocket's before he had his abilities updated. The missiles fire as soon as you hit the activation button.)

• Ultimate - Ancient Decomposer Beam This can only be used while Runic Hover Stones is active. Energy from the ancient core channels into a cannon forming on the X-Caliber's chest. X-Caliber hovers in place to fire a deadly beam of ancient energy on an aimed area for 4 seconds. X-Caliber can control where the beam fires by moving the mouse around (It controls like Viktor's Chaos Storm Ultimate only you don't need to press the ultimate button. Just move the mouse around and the beam will follow. Unlike Viktor's Chaos Storm, the beam has a smaller radius). Enemies within the radius will take Magic damage and bonus attack damage and ability power.

Tips:

• Playing as X-Caliber -

Runic Hover Stones is especially used to flank, chase, or flee from enemies. Try using Homing Stone Pods on the only enemy target in range. The less enemies in range of the attack, the more missiles that will target the same enemy. If close to death, stay close to the most crowded enemies. Killing off more minions in lanes are just as valuable as killing the enemy team.

• Playing against X-Caliber -

Keep a safe distance as X-Caliber takes damage. You don't want to get caught in range of the explosion once X-Caliber is destroyed. Make sure you keep ranged allies such as Marksmen alive. They are a very valuable counter against X-Caliber as he uses Runic Hover Stones. Take out X-Caliber from the back during team fights. He can only land hits if his targets are in front of him.

Synergy:

• Works well with - In order to keep the enemies in range of X-Caliber's attacks, Azir uses Emperor's Divide to keep enemies on the other side where they cannot pass through. This will give X-Caliber the perfect shooting range. Anivia can provide better range for X-Caliber as well. Crystallize can block the enemies from passing through and her Glacial Storm can slow the enemies down enough for X-Caliber to land more hits. It's good to always stand behind Braum while you return fire to the enemy. Braum is always best to take point so he can provide cover from counter attacks that could slow down the two pursuers, X-Caliber and Braum.

• Struggles against - X-Caliber is really effective from the front but he's not really that effective from the back. This gives Shaco the perfect opportunity to back stab the machine as long as he can get away from the explosion after the sabotaging process. If X-Caliber hovers in the air with Runic Hover Stones, that leaves him extremely vulnerable for Yasuo's Last Breath attack. X-Caliber can always get shot by snipers no matter how high he flies, especially Caitlyn as she aims for the head and hits an Ace in the Hole right into the core.

Lore: Residents of Valoran have always believed that any treasure they would find comes from ancient civilization where technology was not as advanced as today's technology. Of course there are times where technology never existed.

That idea began to change.

When the Prodigal Explorer searched an undiscovered runes, he found some ancient artifacts that aren't like the typical ones he usually finds. He later discovers a pile of stones and gems and core of powerful energy sitting in the middle. He attempts to approach the core but the energy is too powerful and dangerous for him to get close. He calls scientists and archaeologists to help obtain the core. As they try to obtain it with caution, the explorer discovers ancient writings that looked like instructions to assemble something powerful. The instruction simply showed where to place the powerful core. Using caution to remain unexposed to the core's power, the explorer manages to place the core where it was instructed. After being placed, the core began to attract the stones and gems on the ground. As each piece assembles around the core, it forms a body of what it looks like a machine. Once it is assembled, the formed stoned body began to move. It had robotic like movement. It's body looked as if you can ride inside it. Its arms and shoulders, they look like weapons. Advanced weapons, possibly beyond reach of Hextechnology. This was a stone and crystal made War Machine.

This isn't just some ancient relic. This is a piece of ancient advanced technology that has existed years ago.

The machine began to speak. It presents itself to the explorer as code named, X-Caliber. It will obey the order of whoever takes control of it. The machine was taken to Piltover for analysis. The Revered Inventor wishes to explore more of where the machine came from. They could discover even more ancient technology that was once left in ruins. But to continue research of this X-Caliber War Machine, they must test it in the battlefield and who tests it better than the summoners?

X-Caliber is gaining unwanted attention from other cities, especially the rivaled cities, Demacia and Noxus. Armies of each side would want to make use of this machine. It's better to keep their hands off of the weapon or else they will kill themselves.

One strange part about X-Caliber. . . People believed that someone or something is controlling the machine from inside its body. . .

Appearance: You know how in the Halo Franchise the Forerunner technology assembles it's weapons but all parts aren't exactly connected together? That's how the X-Caliber War Machine's mech body looks like except it's made of crystals and stones. In the Mech Assault series, when the mech explodes, it will take deal heavy damage to all other targets, especially other mechs. That is how X-Caliber dies once you slay it. He looks like he can be piloted by something but the pilot seat is actually empty. The machine is controlled by an unknown ghost pilot. The whole mech is as big as Cho'gath when he reaches his third stack from Feast.
