Really loving the overall aesthetic of Deadlock, and I couldn't help myself but think of a hero based around the Victorian Fencing archetype. Some inspirations I have in my head for said champ are Orie from Under Night In-Birth, Fiora from League of Legends, and Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona 3.
Aristo is a female champ, with an Aristocratic and Victorian look to her. Some kind of dress, and adornments that allow her to be swift but still show off her Royal descent. She is a swift Swordfighter, who wields an Epie specifically to poke and prod at her foes.
I'm unsure of a kit entirely, but abilities that take advantage of her sword and combat style would be ideal. For example:
1: An Epie Thrust, that can be used in tandem with dashes. Maybe it can critically strike on every 3rd hit, primary fire swings included? So 2 primary fire into a thrust would give you extra damage.
2: A Riposte, this ability would act as an additional parry, but allows you to follow up with a special strike that critically strikes.
3: A Backwards Leap, which is a little bit more floaty than the standard dash jumps. This ability can be combined with dashes, jumps, and has directional input.
4: Engage an enemy champ with a Duel, maybe limiting vision for the targeted enemy? Aristo would receive additional critical rate and critical damage, possibly applying a bleed as well? There are many ways an Ultimate like this could be interpreted, but some kind of Duel mechanic that enforces a 1 on 1 is ideal.
Passive: Extra critical rate? Extra stamina? Starting with 1 extra bar of stamina alone would add a lot of identity to this mobile, dueling champ.
Can't get this idea out of my head, this is my first post on the forums so i'm not too sure how things work just yet, but if you enjoy this idea feel free to bump or add comments. Can't get enough of Deadlock, and the Dev team are doing really great!
Thanks for reading!
