NEW CLASSIC GOD


Kuzenbo
  • General
    - Melee Basic Attacks
    - Damage Type: Magical
    - Scaling Type: Intelligence Scaling

  • Passive: Water Bowl
    - Passive: Water Bowl - Each time you take a portion of your maximum Health as damage (before mitigation), gain a stack of Water Bowl as your head fills with water, granting Damage Mitigation. Stacks last a duration and refresh when you gain another.
    -- Hard Crowd Control removes half of your stacks. This effect has a short cooldown.

  • Ability 1: NeNe Kappa
    - Throw a NeNe Kappa that deals Magical Damage and can ricochet off walls. After hitting an enemy god or reaching maximum range, it bursts from its shell, slowing them and attacking for a duration.
    - Transfers a portion of your Health and Protections to the NeNe Kappa.
    - Can bounce off player-made walls, and you can have multiple NeNe Kappas active at once.

  • Ability 2: Shell Spikes
    - Extend the spikes on your back, reflecting a portion of damage taken as Magical Damage to enemies who attack you. While active, taking damage reduces the Cooldown of NeNe Kappa and Sumo Slam.
    - While active, your NeNe Kappas also reflect a portion of the damage they take.
    - Can be activated while under the effect of Crowd Control.
    - Reflected damage uses the base damage of the incoming attack, before Protections and Mitigations.
    - Does not damage towers or phoenixes and cannot trigger item effects.

  • Ability 3: Sumo Slam
    - Dash forward, becoming Slow Immune, dealing Magical Damage to enemy minions and Silencing and pushing the first enemy god hit.
    - Each subsequent enemy hit deals damage to both that enemy and the god being pushed. Colliding with a wall also deals damage to the pushed god.
    - Only the first wall collision deals damage. Pushed targets can be hit a limited number of times.

  • Ultimate Ability: Watery Grave
    - Pull into your shell and spin, summoning fierce currents that deal Magical Damage and Knock Back enemies. Gain Movement Speed, Damage Mitigation, and CC Immunity, and move freely in all directions.
    - While spinning, gain 20% Damage Mitigation and 30% Movement Speed.
    - Damage ticks every 0.6s. Each hit after the first on an enemy deals 40% reduced damage.

  • Aspect releasing October 23
    - Aspect of Spirits
    -- Water Bowl no longer provides Damage Mitigation; instead, it causes you to spawn orbiting Kappa Spirits.
    -- Shell Spikes no longer reflects damage; instead, it causes you to throw Spirit Kappas.
