Background Khyrus is a feared assassin of Ionia. I don't know if it's canon, but I've seen mentions of the "Black Lotus" since Jhin's release, should it be canon, that'd be her affiliation. Khyrus would primarily be a jungler but it wouldn't be uncommon for her to hop in a lane. Her identity would be hard cc at a distance with high-risk, high-reward soft cc CQC. Her role is not intended to be an AD assassin given her title. Her identity in Runeterra would be a royally hired assassin, similar to Jhin's occupation. She is a respected rival to the Du Couteau's.

Stats Health: 576 - 1943 Health Regen: 8.2 - 17.1 Attack Damage: 64 - 117 Attack Speed: 0.71 (+0% - 53.2%) Armor: 27 - 85.5 Magic Resistance: 32 - 53 Movement Speed: 350

Asphyxiation, Passive Khyrus' blades are secreted in a paralysing toxin. Her first and third basic attacks on a target deal bonus 20/40/60 magic damage and slow by 30/40/50 for 1.5 seconds. Enemies hit by a fifth basic attack are rooted in place for 1 second. Slow does not refresh on the same target. Asphyxiation stacks can only be applied to the two most recently damaged champions. Stacks reset after 4 seconds of not being hit by a basic attack. Bonus magic damage is doubled against minions and monsters.

Lockdown, Q Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 Mana: 60/65/70/75/80 Tether-like skillshot Khyrus throws her weighted chain in a line, stopping at the first enemy struck. If Khyrus catches a champion, during this time Khyrus and her target are rooted until the duration is over, holding her and the captured target in place. Enemies struck are dealt 60/75/90/105/120 + 0.6 AD. Upon capture, she tightens the chains around them disrupting channels and locking them in place dealing 30/45/60/75/90 + 0.3 AD bonus physical damage.

Range: LeBlanc's Ethereal Chains

Eventide, W Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14 Mana: 70 Skillshot Dash Khyrus quickly rushes in a direction dealing 70/90/110/130/150 + (0.6 AD + 0.4 AP) as physical damage to any enemies struck applying on-hit effects. In the next second, this can be casted again if she strikes a champion. Eventide cannot crit nor apply Asphyxiation to multiple targets.

Range: Similar to Renekton dashes. Missile speed similar to Irelia Q.

Sister Moon, E Passive: Allied Khyrus' faithful raven, Nox, assists her in battle. Damage Nox deals applies a 3/6/9/12/15% life steal for Khyrus while in Khyrus' area of influence. If Nox dies, Khyrus is enraged and deals bonus 20/35/50/65/80 physical damage to her targets for the next 8 seconds. Nox is a pet and can be controlled manually. Nox is respawned at Khyrus' side after 30/27/24/21/18 seconds.

Active: Bird's Eye Cooldown: 28/27/26/25/24 Mana: 50 Khyrus sends Nox to a targeted location. Nox will circle the location granting true vision in her target area. Nox's death will still enrage Khyrus regardless of location.

Range: 3000/3250/3500/3750/4000 units

Cat's Cradle, R

Khyrus plays her trump card and curses an area around her for 6/7/8 seconds. Khyrus reduces her resistances by 40/35/30% in exchange for brief invisibility after casting Eventide, 30/35/40% increased movement speed, and attack speed for both her and Nox. Asphyxiation's bonus damage is doubled and Khyrus' abilities lacerate her targets making them bleed for 100/150/200 physical damage over 3 seconds. No outside forces can interfere with players inside the field. Enemies cannot escape Cat's Cradle.

Range: Self-cast, roughly the size of Kindred ult.

Use this ability to punish enemies caught-out. Primary use; killing the punished enemy. Secondary use; trap a group of enemies for the duration

Quotes

Upon Selection "This'll be quick"

Attacking "What a rush" "Can you feel it?" "Not so fast" "Steady now"

Applying 5th stack of Asphyxiation "Right where I want you" "Ah ah ah, no running"

Walking "With the shadows" "I work alone, Summoner" "A snake in the grass"

Joke Nox circles around Khyrus "Birds of a feather stick toge-" Nox begins pecking at Khyrus

Taunt "Where the carcass is, the ravens will gather."

Taunting: Quinn Joke: "Valor! Nox is not that kind of a lady!" Taunt: "I can tell who's the brains of the operation."

Taunting: Katarina If Khyrus successfully captures Katarina during Death Lotus: "None of that, now." Taunting while in Cat's Cradle: "May I have this dance?"

Taunting: Jhin While allied during Curtain Call: "Now THAT was a performance!"

It's defintiely high rish high reward with the ult. Overall i really like the concept but i dont know about the raven. It just doesnt seem right that you can send it globally to attack people, like send it all the way to botlane to harass and then have it be killed so get bonus damage but then the lifesteal it applies wont help you. It just seems off in that manner.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah you have a point on the global life steal. I could tweak the passive to her only having life steal in a radius around Khyrus, maybe. Sorta like Elise babies. I can change up the active a little bit too. I'll make the edits shortly and you and anyone else reading could tell me what you think!

Revised. Updated her kit for clarity. Changes to Q and R.
