[Harrowing Champion Concept] Nevna - The Shadow Keeper
It's that time of year again when the air gets cold and the games get spooky, so in the lost tradition of harrowing champions, I decided to whip up a spoopy creation of my own. Enjoy! (Also check out my last champ concept here)
LORE
Nevna is a mysterious spirit of chaos who cycles between world periodically to deliver them anguish, and feed off their fear.
PASSIVE
**Iridescence **
Nevna feeds off the fear of her enemies. Nevna's enemies receive an additional resource called "Fear". Being hit by Nevna, or her allies' attacks fills the fear bar. When enemies reach maximum fear, they become terrified, causing them to take bonus damage from Nevna and granting Nevna bonus movement speed while moving toward them. Killing an enemy heals Nevna for a portion of their Fear. Fear decays if the enemy has not been attacked recently, or four seconds after becoming terrified. Recently terrified enemies can not become terrified again for 10 seconds.
Q
Kiss of Death
Active: Nevna's next basic attack is enhanced. Basic attacking an enemy instead causes her to bite the enemy, dealing bonus damage. If this enemy is a champion they are marked with "Easy Pickings" for two seconds. If the enemy is hit with three attacks from Nevna or her allies, they are marked with "Kiss of Death" which deals a portion of their missing health over time. If the enemy is killed by Kiss of Death, the cooldown is halved.
W
Active: Nevna turns into a flurry of darkness for the next few seconds. Gaining movement speed, and creating a path of darkness behind her that destroys enemy vision. Taking damage or using an ability causes Nevna to tumble out of the flurry, and create fog of war in a circle around her. Additionally, Nevna can leap out toward terrified enemies while Pursuit of the Meek is active. If an enemy becomes terrified while near Nevna, the cooldown is reset.
E
Shadow Ascendent
Passive: Nevna gains Armor Penetration based on a percent of her missing HP.
Active: Nevna shrouds herself in darkness for a few seconds, creating fog of war around her. Allies inside the shroud gain a portion of Nevna's bonus movement speed. Upon attacking an enemy or at the end of the spell's duration, the shroud explodes, slowing all enemies hit.
R
Witching Hour
Active: Nevna reveals her true form, gaining movement speed, attack damage, and resistance. Additionally, she creates a cloud of darkness that surrounds her, slowing enemies inside, and cutting off their vision to everything outside the cloud.
QUOTES
Nevna's voice is calm, haunting, and subdued.
Upon Select This world or the next, fear is always the same.
Movement Softly, we tread Deep into the wood we go Monsters, the lot of them Nevna Hums I move to the beat of their hearts Nevna Laughs I know what scares them. I know it well. Why are you so silent? The sky whispers down This world has proven to much fun Oh the fun we will have Come now, there is death afoot On and on they tumble I can hear their hearts beat. How I long for them to go silent Nevna Sighs
Attack Nevna Hums They are scared already? Their fear. It is deafening Nevna Laughs Swiftly down the everbend For darkness we weep Reap the spirits I have sown To the great and weary Does pain motivate them? Come now, let them see the whimsy in fear Fear is always Fear is omnipotence Fear is beauty
Upon casting Kiss of Death The clock is ticking Tick tick tick away Flow onward my child I hunger
Upon casting Pursuit of the Meek Nevna Huma We will find them soon enough I long for their demise I grow tired of dragging on Let us find their resting place
Upon casting Witching Hour (Nevna's voice becomes demonic and aggressive) I grow bored with them! My hunger becomes me! Fear becomes them! You will know true terror! Nevna Laughs Darkness creeps toward you! Fear my power! Scatter like the ants you are! You know not of true fear!
Upon enemy becoming Terrified Nevna Laughs Do not fear, the end will come soon. Embrace the darkness. Yes. Let it consume you. Fear becomes you. There is nothing but this.
Upon seeing enemy Vayne You know not of the darkness lying right within you. Darkness. Such a pretty thing to fear. You wear your fears on your sleeve. How boring.
Upon seeing allied Teemo We are kindred in darkness. There are many like you in other worlds. You and I could rule all.
Upon seeing Void or Shadow Isle champions You seem to scare them. Perhaps you could be of use.
Upon seeing Bard Long time no see old friend I see you're still one of few words It's been a long time Bard Has this world called to you as well? United once more What has called you here?
SKIN CONCEPTS
Elderwood Nevna Cause I love that color palette
Bitter Sweet Nevna I really like candy skins.
Archlight Nevna Just a complete reversal of tone from her initial concept.
Prom Queen Nevna A Carrie-themed skin that would never happen because of copyright complete with blood dump ultimate telekinetic W (levitates, I.E the coolest addition from the most recent remake) and all around Stephen king goodness
