Lore:
From an early age, Lissette had found her true passion. The first time her uncle Gottfried held a ball, her face lit up, and she easily became the center of attention. From then on, she lived for those moments when the music started and the eyes of the room were on her.
But grand dance events are not held every day. Indeed, she would be lucky if they happened once a month, and as the days and weeks passed between them, she found herself utterly bored and in need of amusement. Her father and uncle paid her little mind, her father often trying to undo the damage caused by her uncle, and so it seemed that she would literally die of boredom.
One day, her cousin Brigitte found an bird with a broken wing in the manor garden and asked Lissette what to do. Lissette replied that she knew where the apothecary kept his medicines, and ran off to pilfer a few from his cupboards. When she returned, she reasoned that if one medicine was good, then all of them would be better, and so she fed the lot of them to the poor creature.
Almost instantly, the bird began to writhe and scream in pain as the mixture of medicines, none of which were intended to cure a broken wing, instead began to react violently to each other and slowly dissolve the bird from the inside out. Brigitte was horrified and began to cry, but something clicked that day for Lissette. The death of the bird was like a beacon of entertainment in the midst of a sea of boredom.
The next day, she asked the apothecary to teach her about herbs and mixtures, and she slowly began to experiment, using whatever creatures she could acquire.
Today, while she still lives for the magic of a grand ball, she wiles away the time between them in her workshop, where the vile mixtures she creates are among the most potent and vile ever created by the family. The mixture used by her father at Rainart's crossing was just a taste of her gruesome handiwork.
"If you don't want to dance, i'm sure I can find other ways for you to entertain me..."
Abilities:
(Passive) Toxic Mixtures: Each of Lissette's basic abilities leave behind a potent toxin on enemies struck. When an enemy gains a second toxin, the two toxins are consumed to create a new effect based on the combination:
Vile Affliction: (Lethal Toxin + Venomous Toxin): For 5 seconds, the target takes 20% more damage from Poisons. Paralytic Affliction: (Catalytic Toxin + Lethal Toxin): The target is stunned for 1.5 seconds. Hindering Affliction: (Venomous Toxin + Catalytic Toxin): The target is silenced for 1 second and slowed by 25% for 2.5 seconds.
An enemy can be effected by a specific Affliction only once every 6 seconds.
(Q) Lethal Line: Lissette launches a canister of Lethal Toxin in target direction. When the canister connects with an enemy or reaches its full distance, the canister breaks, dealing 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 (+35% AP) magic damage to the struck target (if any), and then splashing the poison over the target and all enemies in a cone behind it, causing them to take 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 / 260 (+50% AP) Posion magic damage over 3 seconds.
Cost: 50 mana Cooldown: 8 / 7.5 / 7 / 6.5 / 6 Seconds.
(W) Venomous Volley: Lissette Launches a canister of Venomous Toxin into the air to land in target area, splashing on all enemies there. Struck enemies take 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210 (+60% AP) Posion magic damage over 4 seconds.
Cost: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 Mana Cooldown: 10 Seconds
(E) Cataclysmic Cartwheel: Lissette cartwheel's in target direction (allowing her to bypass thin terrain obstacles). As she moves, she releases the contents of a canister, leaving a cloud of Catalytic Toxin in her wake. Enemies that move through the line become poisoned, taking 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 (+35% AP) Poison magic damage over 2 seconds. Every second in the line, the poison's duration is refreshed, but an enemy can only be applied one instance of Catalytic Toxin per use of this ability.
Cost: 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 Mana Cooldown: 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 / 8 Seconds
(R) Supreme Catalyst: Lissette fires a dart at target enemy, applying a Concentrated Toxin to them. While an enemy is under the effects of Concentrated Toxin, her other Toxins are not consumed when they form an Affliction, and each time an Affliction is placed on an enemy with Concentrated Toxin, they gain a stack of Intoxinated. Concentrated Toxin is removed after 5 seconds or after the enemy gains their third stack of Intoxinated. When Concentrated Toxin is removed, all other Toxins are also removed, and the enemy takes 100 / 150 / 200 (+ 60% AP) Poison magic damage for each stack of Intoxinated.
Cost: 100 mana Cooldown: 120 / 100 / 80 seconds.
Role: Lissette is a mage that specializes in combining her abilities to produce various effects on her enemies. For increased damage potential, she may mix Lethal and Venomous to amplify the effect of her poisons. If enemies are getting to close, she may combine Leathal and Catalytic to stop them in their tracks. If she is fighting a particularly mobile enemy, she may mix Venomous and Catalytic to block their abilities and slow them down. Or if her Supreme Catalyst is ready, she may decide to mix all three onto the enemy for devastating effect.
All of her basic abilities are skill shots, and her Venomous Volley has a lag time like most ranged aoe abilities, meaning an alert enemy may be able to dodge a key canister and disrupt her experiments on them.
With Lissette, conduct your own experiments, and watch your enemies writhe in agony at your success!
