Hello buddies and fellas,
Here is my new hero concept - Kiki!
She is based on kikimora - a slavic folk creature, with additional interjection magic words that control people. I've added pronounciation and closest analog in English to the abilities names for better understanding.
Main idea was to make a fun character that can combo those interjections together and disrupt the battle with the words of power.
Please let me know if you like it, as always feedback is very appreciated!
KIKI
Lore
Kiki is a kikimora from a Russian village that was flooded when a dam was built nearby. With her home gone she started wandering, and one day she saw a TV. From that moment she had one dream: her own talk show. The road leads to America, to the big studios. No documents, no connections, just a sharp tongue and a rotten temper. The studio wouldn't let her in without papers, so she went to the Patrons instead. She took their megaphone on the way out. "Kiki&more" show will be on air one way or another.
Appearance
Small, angular, birdlike. A beak, clawed chicken feet, scraggly hair. About Remi's size but none of the charm. Carries a stick shaped like a gun and fires green projectiles from it. Keeps a megaphone on her at all times and pulls it out when she needs to make a point louder.
Voice sounds like a kookaburra. Sharp, unhinged, kind of unpleasant.
Can enter the tunnels due to her size.
Quick melee is a swift strike with her "gun".
Heavy melee is a strike with her clawed feet (keeping balance with the help of her "gun").
Kit
Tsyts ([t͡sɨt͡s] - Shut it) Damages and silences the target unit.
Charged (Tsyts-Tssss) ([t͡sɨt͡s t͡sss]) - additionally creates a silence aura around the target for the duration - any enemy that comes in will be silenced. Forces enemies to scatter and breaks their positioning.
Upgrades: T1 cooldown↓ / T2 deals damage per second for the duration of the silence / T3 increased range and radius of the Tssss aura
Sha ([ʂa] - Freeze) Kiki unleashes a wave in a cone in front of her, dealing damage and reducing the movement speed of all enemies hit to zero.
Charged (Nu-ka Sha!) [ˈnukə ʂa] - Kiki leaps forward a bit and the wave travels to the end of the cone then bounces back, hitting enemies twice.
Upgrades: T1 removes 1 stamina on hit / T2 adds 20% slow / T3 cooldown↓ and spirit scaling
Fit ([fʲitʲ] - Whoosh) Kiki goes invisible and leaves an illusion standing in her place. The illusion lasts a couple of seconds before dissolving. Enemies lose track of her position.
Charged (Fit-Ha) [fʲitʲ xa] - a secondary cast on the same button becomes available. Kiki screams into the megaphone while invisible so enemies hear her but cannot see where she is. Pressing the button again teleports her to a target and strikes them with melee damage.
Upgrades: T1 bonus movement speed while invisible / T2 illusion moves forward and bonus damage on strike / T3 Becomes charge based ability and +1 Charge
Shish ([ʂɨʂ] - Zilch) 3 charges that replenish slowly.
Press Shish and Kiki pulls out the megaphone, priming a charge. The charge lasts indefinitely. Press an ability and the charge is spent, triggering the enhanced version. Press Shish again and Kiki puts the megaphone away, returning the charge unused.
The megaphone is a visible signal to everyone nearby that the next ability will be enhanced.
Passive: as long as Kiki has charges remaining she drops fewer souls on death. 1 charge is 10% less, 2 charges is 20% less, 3 charges is 50% less. Zilch for you.
Upgrades: T1 +4% weapon damage per unused charge up to 12% / T2 charge cooldown↓ / T3 charges refresh on enemy kill
