Champion Concept: Fulcier - The Blade of Ambition

Hello, I'm back with another of my seven deadly sin champions. If you missed the first one, there is a link to her page on this forum below this paragraph and at the end of the concept (which is where all future ones will go as well).

Madeline - The Unfaithful Lover

Moving on to the actual champion; Fulcier is representing the sin of pride in my group. Pride has a very broad definition, from self importance and vainty, to recognition and fame, to even ambition. Seeing as Draven already personifies Vainglory, an old term used for the sin which means to place higher importance on ones self and achievements, literally having excess amounts of vanity and glory. I chose to go with ambition and overconfidence as my focus. Whereas Draven's personality is how the world should be centered around him and his narcissistic ego, Fulcier seeks challenge and trials to PROVE his skill. He doesn't think he's better then everyone else, he KNOWS he his and is willing to go to any length to prove it, including forgoing the advantage his ranged rifle provides to fight close quarters with it's attached sickle blade. Making him take to the top lane as a fighter/duelist, despite him appearing to be suited for an ADC role Fueling all of this is the demonic spirit, Superbia, who was a part of Fulcier since birth and provides him with the powers he thinks are his naturally.

After that little prelude, I hope you know why I made the design choices I did. Here he is:

Fulcier: The Blade of Ambition Gender: male Age: 40

Stats: Health: 558.5 - 1918.5 (+80 per level) Health Regen: 6.9 - 17.95 (+0.65 per level) Mana: 350 - 1285 (+55 per level) Mana Regen: 7.4 - 18.45 (+0.65 per level) Attack Damage: 54 - 105 (+3 per level) Attack Speed: 0.625 - 0.995 (+3% per level) Armor: 24.5 - 75.5 (+3 per level) Magic Resist: 30-30 (+0 per level) Move Speed: 340 Attack Range: 600 normally (125 for Hubris)

Autoattack: Fires a yellow-orange energy blast from his rifle or slashes with it's mounted sickle blade if Hubris activates (more below)

**Lore: ** From the moment he was born in a small suburb of Noxus, people knew there was something special about Fulcier. He was incredibly handsome, strong, and smart from the moment of his birth, but more than that he exuded an aura of confidence around him. This only grew more prevalent as he grew, for he began to excel at everything he learned to do. He would go so far as to challenge his peers to competitions of all sorts, just to challenge himself, and he always won. This started to give him a superiority complex, thinking that no one was his equal. In fact his innate “skill” actually came from a spirit that is slumbering within his soul, which chose him to be his vessel from the time Fulcier was born. As Fulcier grew into adolescence, the spirit started to awaken and whisper to him, but only so much as to make Fulcier think it was a dream or his own thoughts. It called itself Superbia, and the ruler of pride. It silently pushed Fulcier, sparking his interest in magic and swordplay, all while inflating his ego further. He mastered both very quickly, and was quickly recruited by the Noxian army for his skill. However, he quickly grew bored of the small skirmishes with Demacian soldiers, for none matched his skill. So, he abandoned the army and took up a life as a mercenary, using jobs and marks to search all across Runeterra for an opponent who can match his skill. All the while being secretly lead along Superbia’s unknown agendia.

• Fulcier

Passive: Hubris Range: 125 unit AOE around Fulcier Fulcier’s blade is imbued with Superbia’s power, causing Fulcier’s autoattacks to inflict (30/40/50/60)% of his AD as bonus physical damage to an enemy that he is in melee range (125 units) of.

Q:** Reap Morale** 135 degree cone: inner arc: 175 units, outer arc: 350 units Cost: (50/55/60/65/70) Mana Cooldown: (9/8/7/6/5) Seconds Fulcier swings his rifle, cutting foes in from of him with his sickle blade, dealing (30/50/70/90/110)+(30/35/40/45/50% AD) physical damage to all enemies in an arc in front of him. He fires a beam of energy from his rifle as he swings, dealing (15/25/35/45/55)+(40/45/50/55/60% Bonus AD) physical damage in a wider arc in front of him. (enemies can be hit by both if in the “sweetspot”.

W: Armor of Valor Self-Buff Cost: (80/90/100/110/120) Mana Cooldown: (15/14/13/12/11) Seconds (starting after shield ends) Fulcier uses Superbia’s power to project a (50/70/90/110/130)+(30/45/60/75/90% AP) health shield around him for 5 seconds. If a Hubris empowered melee autoattack is hit before the shield expires, the shield is reapplied and the duration is extended by 2 seconds, up to a max of 5 times

E: Audacious Assault Linear Movement with Auto-Targeted Damage: Movement: 400 units, Damage AOE: 600 units Cost: (65/75/85/95/105) Mana Cooldown: (17/15/13/11/9) Seconds Fulcier rolls in target direction, firing a shot of energy mid-roll at the nearest enemy, prioritizing champions, that deals (40/60/80/100/120)+(50% Bonus AD) physical damage.

R: Superbia’s Decree Linear skillshot: 250 units Cost: (100/130/150) Mana Cooldown: (120/100/80) Seconds Fulcier lunges forward in target direction, bringing down his blade and impaling the first enemy champion he contacts, stunning them for 0.5 seconds as he preps his gun. He then fires an enormous energy blast from his rifle with it still embedded in his target, dealing (200/250/300)+(100% AD) physical damage and blasting Fulcier and his target away from each other 300 units.

There you have it. He is designed to be a top lane duelist, who trades well with autos and skills at a range, using his Q to help with wave clear and provide general poke damage. If you get in to try and fight close range, however, his damage increases greatly... but so does the risk as he's not the tankiest of guys. This means that he'll have to strategically plan his assaults, or build some defenses to assist along side his W and E. When he's scraping up close, the W lasts longer to help keep him alive and then his ult can be used to deal a large chunk of damage and finish of a weakened enemy or peal a persistent foe off him in a pinch.
