[Hero Concept] Dolly - voodoo, masochistic, spectre

Dolly - voodoo, masochistic, spectre

1. Pain and Gain
Stabs self to damage self. Gain buffs? Damage surroundings? Barrier?

2. Rite of Sacrifice
AOE active aura that redirects some damage from nearby teammates to Dolly and blocks some of it. (like Spirit Breaker planar pocket)

3. Payback
Passive, bullets apply debuff, causing damage taken by Dolly to be taken by the debuff owner. (blademail orb basically, but dmg from one can trigger on another so more like Spectre dispersion orb without damage reduction). Stacks? The higher the stacks the greater the damage? This is the voodoo spice.

4. Spectral Form
Separates soul from body for a duration. Like Sinclair but the body is sleepwalking - or rather 'sleep-doing' (mirrors casting spells, shooting and movement). Like Arc Warden (dota) but autonomous instead of macro-managing.

• Soul form has separate hp. So just double hp acting as the conjoined body and soul hp.
• Basically bigger hitbox because of two models. Double hp, double firing, double cast, double hitbox which leads to double damage taken from AOE.
• If cancelled, duration ends, or soul form hp reaches 0, then the soul returns to the body and heals for remaining hp of soul form. (If overtuned, then soul form cannot heal but only body can?)
• T2: If kill enemies in soul form, extends soul form duration?
• T3: Enters soul form if body dies, or normal death (via enemy or skill 1; or skill 2?). Like wraith king.

Synergies:

• Skill 3 'Payback' then skill 1 'Pain and Gain' to damage enemy.
• Skill 2 'Rite of Sacrifice' to reduce damage from skill 1 'Pain and Gain'.
• Skill 2 'Rite' during skill 4 'Spectral Form' triggers extra amount of times, due to the soul form (double self) counting as 'nearby teammate' from the perspective of the body and vice versa.

Synergy:

• If entering soul form via death (skill 4 T3), can use skill 1 and skill 2 less cautiously (damage self but already dead).

"Ouch [laughs] that hurts [laughs]." potential voiceline.

Extra idea:
Skill 4 could be a normal active skill, or perhaps like Silver's ult but in reverse. Taking threshold damage procs ult instead of dealing damage (pain feels so good the soul leaves the body, also a healing experience).

Lore idea:

• Human being that dabbles in voodoo magic?
• Envious of Victor for feeling so much pain. Mocks his voice lines.
