[Champion Concept] Haaviv, The Ardent Fang

Artwork and character design by me.

LORE

As a well trained Ionian monk, Haaviv found herself bored with the teachings of her elders, as she felt she had reached the peak of her spiritual evolution, and even surpassed them. She soon decided to travel the world. Making stops passage through Demacia, Piltover, and even treacherous journeys through Zaun, and Noxus. None more fateful than her pass through shurima.

On the final days of her journey through the deserts, she came across the ruins of a temple made from gold. She ventured through it, coming across many wonders, all seemingly harmless idols, all modeled after snakes. But, it was at the center of the place that interested her the most. A gauntlet blade laid on an altar, seemingly untouched by the destruction around it. She grabbed it, and instantly she was overcome with a snake deity. They fought over her body for hours, battling for control. Haaviv was losing. But with the recall of her Ionia training, she began to meditate, and became one with the omen.

GAMEPLAY SUMMARY

Haaviv is a high CC ap based juggernaut, centered around basic attacks and setting up fights for her team. She is a great team fighter who has heavy outplay potential, and is a high risk, high reward type of 1v5 champ, à la illoai, vayne, yasuo, ect. She performs well against generally squishy teams, or teams with low mobility or that can't do much against tanks. She struggles greatly against high mobility champs, other tanks, and trundle (cause he's a jerk who steal resistances).

ABILITIES

Passive Golden Fang

Haaviv's blade is cursed. Basic attacking an enemy champion withers them, causing them to take additional damage from her abilities for the next 5 seconds. This can only happen once per champion every 10 seconds.

Q Cobra Strike

Active: Haaviv pounces toward an enemy champion, rooting them and dealing ap damage in the area around her. This counts as a basic attack.

W Rampant Pursuit

Active: Haaviv sticks her gauntlet's blade into the ground, summoning a serpent that rapidly moves toward a target direction underground, knocking up the ground above it, knocking aside all enemies hit. At the end of its journey, it unborrows and strikes, dealing damage and applying golden fang to them.

E _Serendipity _

Passive: After being attacked by an enemy three times in a row, a snake is summoned to protect Haaviv. This snake slithers toward the location the enemy was when they delivered their third attack and strikes. Any enemy hit takes a portion of the damage Haaviv received over 3 seconds.

Active: Haaviv aligns her emotions, reaching a state of nirvana after a short delay. She is granted reduced incoming damage, and bonus self-healing for 3 seconds.

R Serpent Sacrence

After a short delay, Haaviv stomps on the ground below her, causing a flurry of snakes to swarm out of the ground in a circle around her, snaring all enemies they pass through and blessing the area. While on the blessed ground, Haaviv gains bonus movement speed, resistances, and her basic attacks deal a portion of her ability power.
