Leonard is a small creature riding a large toad named Clancy. They have a complicated relationship.
Lore: Leonard and Clancy, also known as the "Toad & Thunder", have earned their legendary status having pulled the biggest jewelry heist in the east coast. Wanted in most states, Leonard and Clancy have been avoiding law enforcement for the better part of a decade. While they had fun being criminals, they realized that while they're dirty rich, they can't spend any of their fortune without the risk of getting caught. They seek the patron to wipe their criminal record clean, so they can stop hiding and enjoy the money they've earned.
Gameplay: Leonard & Clancy are a frontliner which utilizes shield as their big tank-y gimmick. Once the shield drops via enemy damage, Leonard gets into a weaker state where he is dismounted, abilities are limited and he has a low base health. Leonard can regain Clancy and the shield back by playing aggressively and filling a rage bar (high risk, high reward). This is the hero's main gameplay loop. In addition to being a frontliner, Leonard & Clancy are team players, having their ult largely revolved setting up your teammate's for success.
Leonard & Clancy has 2 different weapons, dependent on whether Leonard is riding Clancy or not.
Weapon While Mounted: Clancy's tongue (strikes the target and goes back into the mouth quickly). Slow firerate. Limited Range like Drifter's gun.
Weapon While Dismounted: Flintlock pistol equipped by Leonard, very slow firerate and high damage and a big projectile.
Ability 1: FLINT BARRAGE/SPITBALL
Mounted: Clancy charges up a spitball for 2 seconds. You can freely move while doing so. Upon release, Clancy shoots the spitball towards the crosshair, dealing spirit damage and applying a heavy fading slow to the first enemy hit.
Dismounted: Shoot 3 flintlock shots via Leonard's gun towards the crosshair in quick succession with extra gun damage.
Ability 2: HOP
Launch with a hop forward. If you land on an enemy's head:
Mounted: Deal spirit damage and gain fire rate upon landing.
Dismounted: Hop off their head again in a chosen direction.
Ability 3: CLANCY!!
[PASSIVE]
You spawn riding Clancy.
Mounted: You gains 400 shields (scales with boons). Once the shield is broken, You are dismounted and your abilities change.
Dismounted: You can inflict damage onto enemies to increase your rage bar. When the rage bar is full, you can activate this ability to recall Clancy to you, gaining back the shield.
[ACTIVE]
Can only be used while dismounted and rage bar is full. Recall Clancy to you, dealing spirit damage to any enemies that collide with him and become mounted on arrival.
Clancy always comes to you from the direction you are facing.
Ability 4: SWALLOW
[ACTIVE]
Can only be cast while mounted. Clancy swallows a friendly hero in a close range. While inside, the friendly hero is untargetable. Afterwards, You can choose where spit him out in a targeted location. Upon landing, the friendly hero will deal spirit damage and stun any enemies within the targeted location.
Clancy will automatically spit out the friendly hero if you are dismounted or if more than 4 seconds have passed.
Thanks for reading. As you can probably tell, this hero was largely inspired by League of Legends' Kled. Would love to hear your feedback!
