Lore
- Origin. 23rd-century Neon-Bombay, a sprawl on Ixian Earth. Street AR-artists hack the city’s holo-billboards; their graffiti leak into reality through unstable Astral Gates. One of them, Mira Velasquez, invented a glove that projects living paint. Patron Lux-13 recruits her, upgrading the glove into a prism-array that bends elemental energy.
- Motivation. Mira wants to splash color over Dead Lock’s drab war-zones and “re-tone” the endless conflict into something beautiful.
| Key | Ability | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Prism Bolt | Fires a 700-unit projectile for 55 + 30 % Weapon Damage. It tags the first enemy hit with the current color effect:  Burn (12 dmg / s, 3 s)  Slow 25 %, 1.5 s  Bleed (3 % max HP, 2 s)  Shock (+10 % damage taken, 3 s). | |
| 2 – Chromatic Slide | A 6 m dash that leaves a 4-second color trail. Enemies crossing the line suffer a half-strength version of the current color effect. | |
| 3 – Colour Theory (toggle) | Fortifies an ally: their next attack or spell inherits Spectra’s color with +35 % potency, then both heroes gain 20 Souls. | |
| 4 – Aurora Field (Ultimate, 120 s CD) | Deploys a 12 m dome for 6 s. Every 0.5 s the dome pulses, dealing 40 Spirit damage, advancing to the next color, and: enemies inside get the debuff, allies get the opposite color as a buff ( 15 % lifesteal, +25 % movespeed, +20 % regen, –15 % cooldowns). |
3 | Ability-Point upgrades
| AP tier | Prism Bolt | Chromatic Slide | Colour Theory | Aurora Field |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| +1 | –2 s cooldown | +2 m dash range | +10 bonus Souls | –20 s cooldown |
| +2 | Bolt pierces one extra target | Trail leaves a 1 s damage puddle | Jumps to a second ally | Dome pulses two colors at once |
| +5 | Every 4th Bolt explodes in a 2 m AoE | Slide grants 1 s invisibility | Buff doubles if the ally scores a kill | Each pulse grants nearby allies a Prismatic Shield (30 + 5 × their level HP). Shields stack up to 240 HP and linger 3 s after leaving the dome. |
Shield formula example: a level 10 hero receives 30 + 5 × 10 = 80 HP per pulse; two pulses hit the 160 HP mark, three pulses cap them at 240 HP.
Elements on demand. One keypress swaps Spectra’s damage type, letting a team draft flexible counters without item tax.
Economy. Colour Theory shares Souls, rewarding coordinated play.
TL;DR
Spectra wields a prism glove that cycles on demand. She burns, freezes, poisons, or shocks foes at range, dashes through them in living paint, super-charges a teammate’s next strike, and—under Aurora Field—batters enemies while bathing allies in healing light, speed bursts, energy regen, or cooldown cuts, plus stacking shields at max rank. A walking color wheel ready to repaint the battle-lines of Deadlock.
