Reishi, the Fabled

Who is Reishi?

Reishi is an assassin at heart that laughs in the face of danger, and holds nothing back. His stubborn nature makes him vulnerable to thinking that he's the best there is, but it more often than not it bears down to who has the better skill. Reishi has moderate cooldowns and players need to appropriately time them and ensure they strike true if they want to take advantage of his strong offensive capabilities.

Passive - Outrage: Every 4 seconds, Reishi’s next critical strike will cleave all nearby enemies around him. When he cleaves, Reishi’s critical strike damage is reduced by 40%.

Q - Outreach: First activation - Reishi slings his blades in a target direction, damaging all enemies in a line, and slowing them. Second activation - Reishi follows through his first attack and swings his blades again, dealing damage and applying a slow to enemies in a long, but thin cone area in front of him. Third activation - Reishi strikes once more, but with his hands on the blades, damaging and inflicting bleeding to enemies caught in the wide, but short cone area in front of him. Players have 2 seconds to initiate second or third activation before this ability goes on cooldown. Each strike deals less damage, and applies a lesser slow.

W - Outplay: Reishi swings his blades around himself defensively, blocking the next incoming basic attack. If attacked while active, Reishi will counter by slinging a blade towards the attacking target and strike them to damage them and inflict bleeding. This counterattack will deal bonus damage based on the amount of damage blocked.

E - Outcast: Reishi winds up to sling his blade in a direction, and upon reactivation, lets it fly, damaging all enemies in its path and stopping at the first enemy champion. Upon collision, the blade strikes the target, dealing damage and inflicting a slow and a long bleed effect. If this ability hits an enemy champion, Reishi can reactivate the ability to attack once more without charging at no cost (max 1). The range of the ability, damage, slow, bleed damage, and duration of afflictions are all based on charge time. A second cast at no cost will have the same range, but damage afflictions are at 50% of the original strike.

R - Outperform: Reishi impales his blades in the target enemy champion, suppressing them for the duration of the ability, and then rips his blades out to drag them closer as he takes to the air and comes crashing down with blades in tow, tearing apart his target. Reishi is immune to crowd control for the duration, the opponent is only damaged twice (impaled and then struck), and this ability deals bonus damage if the target is bleeding.
