Sal'Cna

Primary Role: Warden

Secondary Role: Catcher

Background

Lore:

Most of what people know of the Void is that it craves destruction. And the Voidspawns no more than agents of this nature. However, each species hailing from the violet nothingness has their own instincts dictated by this axiom of annihilation. Some eat; some evolve; some learn; and some no more than mere beasts. As the more simple-minded monstrosities choose the more direct method, Sal'Cna cares not but to expand her domain. Basing her hive in the deepest, darkest jungles of Ixtal, she is a broodmother who is biding her time for her young to conquer all, nurturing as into full-fledged soldiers in the hundreds of thousands. Her presence lingers over the inhabitants of Ixtal as an omen of impending doom. Many have tried to slay her… only to end up as the slain. All anyone can do is stall her expansion by absolving the forests of her loyal subjects as much as possible, lest she conquers everything. But for how long can she be repressed?

Appearance:

I can't find a proper way to describe her with words, so I'll just use [THIS]( https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/darksiders/images/3/33/GrieverRender.png/revision/latest?cb=20131116174531) as a visual comparison, but just imagine it purple.

The egg and the pupa are pretty much what you might think it is: a bug's egg and a cocoon… but purple… since it's the Void. The Larva looks like a hybrid between a caterpillar and a centipede… but purple. And the Imago looks like a miniature version Sal'Cna… but purp… oh wait that's already established.

Fun fact: her name means "submit to supremity" in ancient Shuriman.

Abilities

Sovereignty

Sal'Cna doesn't fight herself on the battlefield. Instead, she has her drones fight for her (as in they're the playable character).

The drones have 4 forms: Egg, Larva, Pupa, and Imago. Egg and Pupa forms share abilities, while Larva and Imago forms share different abilities. Egg and Pupa forms cannot move by themselves or use basic attacks. They are attached to a designated ally. If an egg or a pupa is unattached, they can be picked up by an ally by moving on them. Larva and Imago forms can function normally (i.e. basic attack and move like a normal champion)

When a drone is ready (as in off the death-timer), Sal'Cna can right-click an ally champion to send a separate courier drone (which is not controlled by the player) to the designated champion to attach the Egg form. Upon completing the task, the courier drone will submerge into the ground and disappear. The courier drone shares its movement speed with the player drone. An ally champion can be designated even when the death-timer is on. If so, then upon having an egg ready, the courier drone will set off immediately to its destination.

Notes: Sal'Cna can be seen on the sides of the fountain. She does not interfere with the game itself. Well… not by herself anyways.

In Her Name

Egg and Pupa: The drone targets an enemy and shoots out Void energy, dealing 10/20/30/40/50 (+50% AP) magic damage and applying on-hit effects. This ability can also be cast on towers. In Pupa form, the drone gains stacks of Void Silk, up to a max of 5. Each stack of Void Silk increases the shield of Protect the Colony by 6% on its next activation, expending all stacks.

Larva and Imago: The drone shoots out a poison solution from its mouth in a cone, dealing 60/110/160/210/260 (+1.75% of the drone's max health) magic damage to all enemies and slowing them by 60%. In Imago form, this ability will also mark enemies. Marked enemies will be disabled for an additional 0.5 second by Protect the Colony.

Notes:

Protect the Colony

Egg and Pupa: passive: The drone protects its attached ally when they are attacked from the back, taking damage instead with 30%/35%/40%/45%/50 damage mitigation. The damage mitigation only applies when attached to an ally.

Active: the drone shields itself and its attached ally for 100/175/250/325/400 that lasts 5 seconds, divided equally among them (as in each one gets 50%). The drone's shield increases whenever the attached ally's shield takes damage, equal to 100% of the damage taken. In Pupa form, the drone also emits a shockwave around him that deals X/X/X/X/X (+X% AP) magic damage to all enemies.

Larva and Imago: The drone dashes in a direction, stopping on the first enemy hit. Upon colliding with an enemy, the drone deals 70/115/160/205/250 (+60% AP) and submerges into the ground and drags his target with him, stunning and rendering both of them untargetable for 1.5 seconds. The drone can cancel the ability early at any time. In Imago form, the drone can also move while submerged, dragging his target with him.

Notes: the CC form of both stunning and rendering a target untargetable is known as "banished" in some games. Although LoL doesn't have such a description as of the creation of this kit.

But One of Many

3% (-0.25% every rank) of max mana every second | 20s | 350 Effect Radius (Egg/Pupa) | 500 Target Range (Larva/Imago) | 500 Dash Range (Larva/Imago)

Egg and Pupa: The drone submerges itself in the ground, becoming untargetable. The drone can remain in this mode indefinitely until it runs out of mana. Upon re-emerging, the drone replenishes 15% of its missing mana. In Pupa form, the drone also deals 50/75/100/125/150 (+50% AP) magic damage and knocks up enemies for 0.5 second.

Larva and Imago: the drone targets an ally champion. Upon doing so, it submerges itself together with the target, rendering them untargetable and immovable. They can remain indefinitely in this mode until the drone's mana is depleted. The ally or the drone can leave this mode at any time simply by moving. If the drone leaves before the ally, then both re-emerges regardless of the ally's intention. In Imago form, the drone can also recast this ability to dash X units in a target direction.

Notes:

Metamorphosis

100 Mana | 100s | 650 Range | 200 Effect Radius | 0.75s Cast Time

The drone enters metamorphosis, transforming into its next form, permanently gaining 12% bonus health (stacks additively, for a max of 36%) and new/improved abilities. This ability can only be activated once per form.

Rank 1 evolves into a Larva, gaining new abilities. The drone targets an area, bursting out of the egg and dealing 100/250/400 (+50% AP) magic damage to all enemies in the area. If the death-timer is on, this ability can be activated to immediately resurrect at the fountain as a Larva.

Rank 2 evolves into a Pupa, gaining the Egg's abilities with improved effects. The drone selects a target ally to latch onto, dealing 100/250/400 (+50% AP) magic damage in an area around him from where he leapt. Afterwards, forming the cocoon.

Rank 3 evolves into an Imago, gaining the Larva's abilities with improved effects. The drone targets an area, dealing 100/250/400 (+50% AP) magic damage to all enemies.

Notes: Dying means that you have to start over from an egg.
