Hero Concept : Jo 'Jazz' Fontaine

[kiebonik]

I really hope Deadlock got a hero like Invoker will be put in the roster in the future. So, I got some ideas that I want to share with.

Hero : Jo 'Jazz' Fontaine - The Harmonic Outlaw
Themes : Musician-turned-gunslinger; uses musical tones to shape reality and damage enemies
Weapon : Trumpet-Shaped Gun

Core Mechanic:​

Jazz has 3 basic “Notes”, each mapped to a unique ability key:

• 1 – Bass (B): Tanky, heavy vibrations, slows/stuns, increases defense.
• 2 – Melody (M): Spirit-based harmonic tone, enhances magic/spirit abilities.
• 3 – Rhythm (R): Gun-attack synergy, speeds up attacks, enhances physical damage
  
  You can press these in any sequence (3-note combos) to "compose" a Chord (just like Invoker's reagents). After pressing three notes, you activate the Song (4) which determines your active ability, based on the combination.
  

Combo	Ability Name	Type	Effect Summary
R + R + R	Brass Blaster	Gun Damage	Piercing bullet burst
R + R + B	Sonic Boomstep	Movement / Utility	Dash + AOE echoes
B + B + M	Vibe Wall	Support/Utility	Sound wall blocks and knocks
M + M + B	Soul Sync	Support	Link to heal & buff ally
M + M + R	Feedback Loop	Debuff	Amplify target's damage taken
R + B + M	Crash Riff	Control	Shockwave + stun + aim shake
B + B + R	Low End Lockdown	Control	Pulsing area slow + damage debuff
M + R + M	Harmony Barrage	Support/Utility	Piercing healing shots

Passive – Sound of Style

• Tempo stacks are gained when hitting enemies with Songs.
• Stacks grant buffs based on build:
  
  • Tank: Damage reduction, cooldown reduction
  • Spirit: Ability damage
  • Gun: Fire rate & reload speed
• Stacks decay after 8s of no combat
