[Champion Concept] Litharon, The Will of Light
Litharon, The Will of Light
Litharon is an angelic creature broken free from his prison in the skies after falling and returning to the heavenly realm and imprisoned and kept a secret until now. Fighting against giving into the corruption he now searches and fights to find an answer of how to rid himself from this curse.
Litharon is a durable health(
) fighter that focuses on disruption and strives in solo fights where he is fighting either 1v1 or 1v2: His mobility and fluidity within a fight allows him to push aggressively and tackling tough opponents returning more damage and increasing his durability as he loses health.
Passive - Broken Will (cool down 40 seconds) When Litharon's health drops below 40% his will breaks, giving into the corruption and transforms into his fallen form, becoming a melee champion gaining new abilities with increased ad, as, life steal, movement speed, and spell vamp. Litharon regains control of himself, transforming back to his risen form if his health returns to at least 60% or if he has stayed in his fallen form for at least 60 seconds (note, the cool down on broken will starts only when he returns to his risen form).Switching between forms finishes and resets basic ability cool downs(note: the cool downs of each of the different forms are not conected).
Q - Struggling Light/ Grasping Shadows Struggling Light (Risen Form)(5% of max health) - Passive: on hitting an enemy champion with a risen ability applies a stack of purity with each individual stack on its own timer of 30 seconds, upon 10 stacks all stacks are consumed and deal 15% of the champions max health. In addition if a champion has at least 1 stack Litharon's basic attacks applies a stack of purity.
Active: Channels a spell shot for 2 seconds with the same shape asQ that is infused with a hybrid of light and corruption that bursts at the end of the channel revealing and slowing enemy units and adding an additional stack of purity (on top of the one already given for the ability hitting). Grasping Shadows (Fallen Form)(no cost) - Passive: Every basic attack landed increases Litharon's AD and AS for 4 seconds, this stacks up to 6 times. Active: Shoots a straight skill shot with the trajectory and range similar if not the same to
Q. Hitting a unit with this ability slows, reduces armor, and marks it with a shadow mark (lasting for 6 seconds).
W - Flashing Light/ Corruption's Embrace Flashing Light (Risen Form)(10% of current Health) - Passive: Grants additional armor and magic resist. Active: Flashes to a nearby area (
) and damages enemy units within a small radius and gives a small heal to allies within this area. Corruption's Embrace (Fallen Form)(No cost) - Active: Becoming a shadow gaining movement speed and blending into the terrain for a few seconds (
E - Pure Blade/ Pursuing Shadows Pure Blade (Risen Form)(1% of max health) - Active: Creates an aura around himself slowing and continuously dealing damage to nearby enemy units(
). Pursuing Shadows (Fallen Form)(No cost) - Active: Flashes instantly to an enemy marked with a shadow mark and rooting the target for a second scaling with level (
).
R - Risen Star/ Fallen Star Passive: (For both forms) If casting either Risen or Fallen Star and Litharon transformed he gains a shield that absorbs a massive amount of damage for the next 10 seconds. If the shield survives for the duration it explodes dealing damage all around Litharon. Risen Star (Risen Form)(20% of max health) - Active: Flying in an arc, Litharon jumps up and crashes down, knocking up and dealing massive damage to any units affected in the radius. Fallen Star (Fallen Form)(No cost) - Active: In a radius around him, Litharon roots and marks all units in an area around him with a shadow mark, draining a small amount of life and healing from each unit affected by him.
Lore - Being from the angelic domain Litharon has always had a strong will, unbroken and pure in his morals he never wavers in the choices that he makes. Once Morgana fell he vigorously searched the domain far and wide for anything that could cure his lover's curse and return her to who she once was. Unable to find anything in the heavenly land he resorted to his final option, descending himself into the corruption to hopefully find an answer himself of how to heal her. Upon his attempt to fall he drowned himself completely into the shadows of the corruption, upon becoming infected his will for the light protected him from being completely overcome. Rising out of this, he was a changed being, part light and part shadow, the corruption could never take full control of someone with a will as powerful as his. Returning to his people he was captured and imprisoned, if anyone was to know of this tainted being their order over the land would collapse. So he was kept for eons waiting for an attempt worthy of breaking free from his cage. Now that time has come, using his will and his new found powers due to the corruption Litharon has broken free, looking for his lover that his has been separated from for too long for time to tell he looks to the League of Legends for that's where he knows he will not only find Morgana, but also the being that locked him away in his prison oh so long ago, Kayle.
Strengths and weaknesses - OK so lets start with his strengths, First off his biggest asset is his movement and durability while he is in situations that seems more disadvantaged to most champions like while his team is down a player. Due to his use of health as a resource he is much more durable and does not have to rely on being to mana hungry. In addition he has a greater chance to win an encounter if the fight is drawn out longer due to "Broken Will, Struggling Light, and Grasping lights' passives."
Now to weaknesses for Litharon. Since he uses health as his resource and he is a mostly melee champion with a few of his abilities making an exception to that he can be slayed easily if he is disrupted somehow not allowing him to get close in.
Playing as Litharon:
- Time your passive correctly, try to have it activate while you're close to an enemy for it to work potently
- Hitting your abilities, especially in Risen Form will increase your chances of survival and majorly increase your damage output
- Focus on AD, AS, and movement speed items throughout the game as well as some life steal so Broken will can increase all of those stats
Playing against Litharon
- Be careful around him when he's at about half health, stay away from him then when he transforms
- Watch out for his skill shots, dodging them can lead to a considerable opening resulting in an advantage in the encounter
- Pay attention to the form that he's in, Risen= multiple wide range abilities. While Fallen= single target hunting and destroying abilities
Combos Reckless Star: (In Risen Form Between 45 and 55% health) E-R-Q-E-R-W Using your E creating an aura around you, Then activating your R leaping into the fray and transforming. Then use your Q marking an enemy, next deal a few auto attacks to increase your damage and speed and follow up with your E flashing to your opponent and adding in your R to secure the kill and then W to safely disappear into the jungle before and unwanted reinforcements show up.
Pure Light: (In Risen Form) Q-E-R-W-Q
First initiate the fight by using your Q strategically to give your opponent 2 stacks. Then use your E to activate your aura and then R to jump in following up with basic attacks adding on even more stacks. Using your W teleport away to safety then use your Q again to finish the stacks getting a kill or forcing the target to return to base before interacting again, unless of course your target is 
.
Corrupted Hunt: (In Fallen Form) Q-E-R-W Upon transforming to his Fallen form immediately hit your Q marking an enemy. Then use E flashing to him and auto attack, then use R rooting the target and continue the auto attacks. If you still have yet to secure the kill follow up with your W catching up, applying knock up and then finishing the kill with auto attacks.
Artwork I founds some of these pictures on Google images. These just serve as a basis of ideas of what he could look like in either form. If you enjoy this idea, are a good artist, and would like to draw your take on in please do and send it to me since i am a terrible artist and would love to see this champion come to life.
Thank you all for your support and if you liked the idea please share this with your friends.
