[ziz4030]

a fate’s tale:

many years ago, chinatown was just another street. over time, immigrants from beyond the sea made it like their old home across the world. in chinatown, many creatures from beyond the astral gates have found their place and brought some of their own worlds into its melting pot of cultures. as long as many people share one wish for a brighter tomorrow, they will always work together.

heng, feng, and sheng are three such individuals. and they all share one wish as well. these ixian street orphans have assimilated well into the night markets of the cursed apple’s chinatown, and run a bustling fireworks stand.

together they make mischief and come up with new ways to sell fireworks. their big dream is to highlight the lunar new year festival and win the grand prize for their display. each year they get upstaged by an old master who recently began packing his fireworks with souls to create living displays. without enough money to afford such fancy explosives, the trio has had to get creative.

heng, feng, and sheng have a good system. in spite of their hyperactively singleminded natures, they run their business out of their rickshaw as a perfectly coordinated team. feng shoots the gun to protect the rest and comes up with new fireworks, sheng makes all the fireworks and has a special hammock to eat and sleep on, and heng pickpockets customers and pulls the rickshaw. they all come together as a tag team when the biggest firework needs to be set off.

having heard whispers of the patrons giving wishes, the tenacious trio snuck off from their usual market day and brought along their favorite fireworks. today, they bring their shared wish into reality.

final abilities visual

 

[ziz4030]

comparable more to tiny and earthshaker from dota 2 than techies. visuals and the summons creating the nukes is used from techies, but the spells are based off avalanche, toss, aftershock, and echo slam from dota 2.

based off an idea i saw on dota reddit for a reimagining of the hero tiny where he is a fireworks merchant with his avalanche firing many fireworks and his toss being a rocket instead. the craggy exterior passive (stun attackers) would be firecrackers. the ultimate grow would be buying more layers of bullet proof vests and fireworks.

this hero is meant to be played as a spirit carry. 2 into 1 combo can get quick kills. 3 pumps out constant damage to your attacks and punishes nearby enemies when you use abilities.

the ultimate lets you make a fire and forget torpedo that goes in the direction you were pointing. you need to be close to an objective to take it out, but it can be done. because its effect is most likely to proc in close quarters it is most effective against the ancient.

once you get 2 and 5 upgrade it becomes a mobility hack spell that gives you torpedo movement with a quick arm time.

buying spirit items improves the first 2 abilities, but the third becomes much more powerful as you stack gun items to shoot more while they are in the air.
