Fan kit outline for Muerta

[maxkaibarreto]

At first this was a personal challenge to do so for Frank, who I suspect was 'scrapped' to become Bebop (Halloween skin too real?) in the running design fricassee that is making zombies mobile. But the first basic here I believe is a valid candidate among those & delivered best by Muerta, wielding a slug-lobbing golden gun balance-wheeled by reduced base movespeed. The intended blind spot is her air game

- Basic 1 summons a temporary body; summoning an ofrenda-ish reset point before purging one's debuffs & teleporting them for damage. 1p adds a windowed preemptive alt-cast, 2 adds a turret-ghost circling the altar, & 5 de-nerfs the non-mobility mechanics
- Basic 2 is a smaller but more frequent Essence Bomb. At 2p connections cost extra to deal more
- Basic 3 is a heel biter like Iso’s Undercut but slowed down, applying a slow on contact & steady heavy damage while
- The ult applies a buff to oneself that threatens a near enemy or is consumed by dying so as to resurrect. It first upgrades to affect multiple enemies and then to empower the resurrection with so much durability & speed for damage dealt to them when

Well don’t I feel silly. But she seems made for doing that to cowboys, so I’m only spurred on - Here’s another if likely cursed (darn lawsuit trolls) spin on Mrs Dia-de-los-tu-muerte:

Gunslinger’s Glimpse: Self- or target-cast on enemies Muerta has recently shot, a revenant circles & then flies through the target to carry their pov & then body (it Baronessed-ish until relocated) back 4 seconds
Dead Fan: Decouples the player camera through a channel (balanced for canceling) that begins with a shot well below horizontal & follows with more, each lifting subsequent ones’ angle. Its damage applies minimal control loss
Kicking Shots: A short channel of four shots decouples just the player camera’s pitch while locking Muerta’s, during which she first shoots acutely (her arm near straight & palm up) right, then less so (palm down & with some elbow bend) left, then ~45d right, & then lastly obtusely left
Pierce the Veil: Reloads her gun & boosts her durability & damage for a window. Upgraded, assists extend its duration & kills reset her other cooldowns

On reflection the vanilla ultimate is fairly uninspired so (scratch Pierce the Veil &) here’s a new spin which taps both Arc Warden & Brewmaster:

…
Sisters of Succor: On a cooldown of some minutes, splits Muerta in 2 for some seconds with unique cooldowns on her items & abilities (refresher bringing a 3rd & 4th) for both. The sister will use her other abilities with what skill the player has to hold her ground or fight to the death. This ability can be reactivated to cycle control between the sisters but Muerta dies also when the last one does
