[Skin Concept] EX-06, the Breath of the Void
This is a basic write up of a kit for a virus themed champion I am entering in the CCC for October. He is intended to be a disruptive fighter/assassin.
Background: (Later will be expanded into a full lore) A virus was discovered in the air around open void portals. It seemed to be active but had no effect on residents of Valoran. Zaun decided to take this virus and study it, hoping to create a new poison deadly enough to sell well to the highest bidder. They took the virus in its original form and tampered with the genetic code, causing it to adapt and evolve rapidly. This form only proved useful in testing with Void monsters, being an effective way to kill the hordes. It was only after 4 other failed attempts to create a stronger, more versatile poison that EX-06 was developed. It was the first iteration that survived in human hosts and thrived, killing them. Tests on yordles, elementals, and even beasts gave the same results. But it also learned from each host, evolving and adapting to live easier and replicate faster. Soon the virus mutated again. It began to affect the mood of victims, even showing signs of manipulating their actions. Soon it seemed to create a certain personality in victims to lure other possible hosts into infection. The most distrubing was when the virus decided to permanently inhabit a human host. The virus had long since taken control of the body and modified its structure to its own uses. It was little more than scaffolding for the virus to create a massive colony. But it maintained its eerie yet charming personality to draw in new victims and spread its plague.
Stats:
Mostly Undecided as to the specifics Most stats will be >in line with other fighters, while armor will be below >average and MR will not scale. Movement speed seems >like 340. Range would be melee (125)
Abilities:
Innate: Viral Assembly
Every 10 minions or monsters killed, 1 large monster or siege minion killed, or 8 consecutive seconds that an enemy champion is infected spawns an inert copy of itself. Copies cannot attack but can empower or enable his spells. If it were to die and it has a living copy, it instead sacrifices that copy and revives with the current health of that copy.
Maximum number of copies is 1(+1 per 1000 health)(+1 per 75 bonus armor)(+1 per 60 bonus magic resistance) rounded down. Copy health is 15% of EX-06's maximum health and 100% of its armor and magic resistance.
Q: Virulence Cone-shaped AoE Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 Mana Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 Range: 500 Arc: 100 Degrees
Passive: EX-06’s basic attacks activate inert viruses renewing Virulence on infected enemies for 1 second.
Active: EX-06 exhales a deep breath, infecting all enemies in front of it. They are dealt 20/30/40/50/60(+.15 AP) magic damage each second for 3 seconds.
For 1 second this spell can be reactivated if it has a living copy. It sacrifices the nearest copy to deal additional magic damage to all nearby infected units equal to 50% of its AP plus 10% of their maximum health and slow them by 50/60/70/80/90% for 1.5 seconds. If this affects 3 or more enemy champions, it creates a new copy of itself.
W: Evolved Resilience Self-Buff Cost: 60 Mana Cooldown: 20/18/16/14/12
Passive: EX-06 evolves constantly, building up resistance to external threats. Each time one of its copies dies or is replaced, it is permanently granted 1 armor if the copy took mostly physical damage or 1 magic resistance if the copy took mostly magic damage.
Active: EX-06 is granted 50/75/100/125/150% increased resistances from the passive portion for 5 seconds. This resistance is doubled against infected targets.
E: Airborne Transmission Self-buff and self-centered AoE Cost: 80/90/100/110/120 Mana Cooldown: 20/19/18/17/16 Seconds
EX-06 and all of its copies dissolve into the air spreading over a wide area applying Virulence to all enemies within 100 units for 2 seconds. It gains 10/15/20/25/30%(+.05% AP) bonus movement speed and 50 additional AoE for each living copy.
R: Pandemic Ground-target AoE Cost: 100 Mana Cooldown: 100/90/80 Seconds Range: 500 Initial Area Radius: 500 AoE around each target: 50
All infected champions, including EX-06, in target area start coughing uncontrollably, releasing EX-06’s virus into the air around them dealing 30/45/60(+.1 AP) magic damage per second over 5 seconds, slowing them by 40%(+7% per 100 AP), and reducing their damage dealt by 10%(+2% per living copy). AoE radius created by each target is increased by 25 per living copy. If a target is affected by more than one AoE, Damage, slow, and damage reduction will stack at 50% effectiveness.
I'll come back in to format and update stats later, but I need to sleep for now.
