Zephaniah, the Seamstress
Zephaniah is a mid-range mage who specializes in controlling areas and zoning her enemies with a variety of crowd-control effects.
Mage/Support
Passive Tangled Skeins Whenever an enemy champion crosses one of Zephaniah’s Q or W tethers, Tangled Skeins tethers them to the unit at both ends of the tether, slowing them by 10% for two seconds. The tether range is 275/325/375/425 units. These tethers are green.
Q Needle and Thread Mana Cost: 70/80/90/100/110 Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14 seconds First Cast: Zephaniah fires a linear passthrough skillshot, dealing 80/100/120/140/160 (+60% AP) magic damage and creating a tether for two seconds between an allied unit struck and every enemy unit struck, prioritizing first Stitch In Time’s needle, then the first allied champion struck, then the first allied minion struck.The tether range is 400 units. If the allied unit struck is Stitch In Time’s needle, the tether range is 600 units. These tethers are blue. Second Cast: Amalie pulls the tethered enemies to the ally.
W Stitch In Time Mana Cost: 80/90/100/110/120 Cooldown: 22/20/18/16/14 seconds Zephaniah deals 60/80/100/120/140 (+30% AP) magic damage in a small area, creating a needle on the ground and tethering all units damaged to it. Any units that remain tethered for 1.5 seconds are rooted for 1 second. The tether range is 300 units. These tethers are red.
E Hail of Pins Mana Cost: 60/70/80/90/100 Cooldown: 15/14/13/12/11 seconds For the next three seconds, needles rain from the sky in a designated zone, dealing 30/40/50/60/70 (+20% AP) magic damage per second to all units within the zone.
R Silver Cords Mana Cost: 100/100/100 Cooldown: 120/110/100 seconds For the next five seconds, Zephaniah's tethers don’t expire with time, although they can break with distance. During this time, whenever a tethered unit is dealt damage, 20/25/30% of that damage is dealt to each unit it is tethered to. This effect travels up to two links, but does not conduct backwards.
Zephaniah does best on a team with other forms of displacement crowd control, like Blitzcrank or Thresh in order to create a greater number of tethers with her passive. These champions also allow her Silver Cords to remain attached to a number of targets.
