Eriden, Demacian’s Finest
I wanted to create a mix of the playstyle of Hwei (abilities having multiple sub-abilities) and Aphelios, an ADC with multiple weapons that he mixes and matches for his playstyle but is taken in a different method.
Lore, I wanted another scout similar to Quinn from Demacia.
Eriden has 3 weapons that he uses, each has a specific range, ability, and stats that are associated with it. Each ability has an “engage” ability that activates when swapping to the weapon, and an “active” ability when Eriden is currently using the weapon. When Eriden gets a takedown with a weapon he gains a bonus to his stats based on the weapon.
Longbow - Ranged DPS - Attack Speed / Crit Chance
Sword and Shield - Tankiness / CC - Armour / Magic Resistance
Halberg - Melee Assasin - Attack Damage / Ability Haste
After Eriden reaches level 6, the first takedown with a weapon causes this to be his favoured weapon gaining several bonuses for that weapon.
He gains:
Engage - Feathered Shot
Eraden dashes backwards firing a volley of arrows (scaling with level). Enemies take reduced damage after the first capping at 3 arrows. Eraden can tighten the volley by dashing further. This dash cannot go over terrain.
Active - Repeater Shooter
Eraden repeatedly fires a line of arrows that pierces non-champion targets. This ability can crit and deal bonus crit damage
Engage - Shield Stunt
Eraden crashes his shield with his sword and taunts enemies in a cone in front of him
Active - Counterattack
Eraden brushes his shield for a short time, blocking the first
Engage - Dragon Rush
Eraden rushes forward in a quick motion. If it connects to a champion, he does an enhanced auto attack that slows the target, and then a circular aoe slash around them
Active - Cross slash
Eraden slashes two times in quick succession. Dealing bonus damage of the target is hit by both slashes.
This ability changes based on which weapon Eraden favours. Each ability has a passive effect and an active effect and it persists even when not using the favoured weapon.
QR) Phenoix Dive
Passive: When Ereden hits anything 3 times, he shoots out a phantom arrow that follows an arc on either side of him (alternating left and right). This arrow stops at the first epic monster or champion dealing damage. This hit is considered a hit effect (at reduced effectiveness) and can crit.
Active: Eraden fires 3-5 long-range arrows that each arch towards the center.
WR) Shield of Demacia
Passive:
Active:
ER) Tysoon
Passive:
Active:
