[Incomplete] Cypher - The Fallen Angel

He's not a Soul Drinker. He was a former Dark Angel, but is considered to be one of the Fallen now. What his plans are are unknown to this point, but he can't be restrained.

And yes, that is mostly correct of the Soul Drinkers.

and getting back to the point >.>

Ok, so potential build:



Innate: Shrouded Steps: Increases agility by 5/10/15/20/25/30 and movement speed by 30/40/50/60/70/80. Activates as Wind Walk for duration of 5/6/7/8/9/10 seconds, dealing 2.25x critical damage upon breaking with movement speed bonus of 5/10/15/20/25/30

Masterful Shot- 25/32/39/46/53/60% chance to pierce through enemies with his gun, 100/150/200/250/300/350 range, 100/110/120/130/140/150 aoe.

Voice of the Emperor: Reduces attack and attack speed of all enemy units around Cypher as his words cause doubt and hesitation in their belief. Decreases attack speed by 10/20/30/40%, attack by 5/10/15/20%, and silences heroes for 3/4/5/6 seconds in an AoE of 1000 around him.

Execution: Range of 800. Fires a # of shots equal to Agi/6. Each shot does Agi/(5/4/3/2)/(target hero's level/(current range from target/maximum range of ability). This is *heavily* reduced by armor.

84 agi, at 100 range, when target hero is level 10--> 14 shots, each doing 84/2/10*8 = 470 damage maximum.

172 agi, at 100 range, when target hero is level 25 --> 29 shots, each doing 172/2/25*8 = ~800 damage maximum

*The damage can always be lowered. Just showing you the mechanics of the skill and how it scales*

Ult: Blink Strike of sorts: From 600/800/1200 range, Cypher is able to rush forward at an enemy and strike them with his C'tan Phase Knife, dealing 300/450/600 pure damage and crippling them, reducing armor and movement speed by 10/20/30%. Shrouding Steps, if not on cooldown, will automatically activate.

hmm i almost wanna swap steps with masterful shot

and the calculations for execution (while really good and balanced looking) are way too complicated for most people to understand...
heres what it would look like:
Cypher fires a number of shots equal to 60% of his agility. each shot deals 20/25/33/50% of his agility devided by the level of the target unit, multiplied by the max distance devided by the distance between the target and cypher.

too much, simplify the calculations while keeping its scaling XD
also, what is the point in doing all that calculation? does it have a reason other than just for balancing/scaling?

other than that, it all looks good. (altho, the numbers are way off for the innate and voice, but w/e)

So people can see how it scales and can't cry it's op for no reason.

And numbers are numbers.

If you want to switch them, go ahead. I just think it's satisfying to blink strike onto someone and they don't even know what to hit back.

yeah, i didnt have a complaint with that tho XD

What would swapping Steps for masterful do though? What do you see it doing?

oh right XD nvm didnt think of that.

Can we promote this hero to incomplete then, since all he needs is a story and more fleshing out of his skills?

You know, you could simplify execution by simply not showing ALL the math.

fire a number of shots equal do 60% of cyphers agility. each shot deals damage equal to 20/25/33/50% of his agility, modified by the target heroes level and distance from cypher.

That works. Does it do more damage from afar or close up? You may want to briefly mention that.

More from close up.

modified by the target's level and how close it is to cypher.

had to change the effect of his ult, because really... if you wanted to activate steps right away, u could

How's he look so far? Any complaints, or should he be moved to Completed?

i dont think anyone is gona comment

Needs stats, but otherwise looks fine. Any other comments?
