Legend Concept: Skadi

REMEMBER VALUES ARE PLACEHOLDERS

Codename: Skadi

Type: Support

Description: Heavyset female Viking

Version 2.0

Passive: (Frostbite)

  • Players downed by Skadi explode with a frost zone surrounding them. This explosion has the same effects as the tactical.

Tactical: (Hypothermia) 2 charges; Skadi throws a grenade that fortifies allies and slows surrounding enemies

  • cd 20 sec
  • If a grenade hits an area near an ally/self, allies/self are granted 50HP of frost armor temporarily for 15 seconds.
  • Wherever the grenade lands, a small area is frosted over, slowing down enemies that stand in its zone by 25%
  • Frosted areas are frozen for 10 seconds
  • Grenades take 1.5 seconds to detonate upon first bounce
  • Frost armor can stack

Ultimate: (Giantess); skadi makes a frost armor

  • Cd 80 seconds
  • Frost armor increases health by 100 hp
  • This frost armor is permanent until deactivated or destroyed; additional frost armor lasts until end of their duration. (i.e. if total frost armor is currently 125, and 75HP is from ult, and 50 is from tactical, once the duration for the tactical’s armor is up, the frost armor’s health is returned to 75HP.
  • Frost armor can stack with grenades max 200HP (or two grenades+ult)
  • Frosted zones’ and buffed allies’ HP and timers are refreshed; i.e. if an ally has 0 HP of frost armor but they still have 7 seconds of duration, the armor is refreshed to 50HP and 15 seconds

Version 1.0

Passive: (Frostbite)

  • Players downed by Skadi are frozen and cannot be revived until ice is destroyed or 6 second pass.
  • Downed frozen players can be eliminated by skadi.

Tactical: (Glacier) 3 charges; Skadi throws a grenade that makes a wall of ice

  • cd 20 sec
  • If the grenade hits an empty space, an ice wall is erected
  • throwing the grenade beneath her makes an artificial tower
  • throwing a grenade at an opponent freezes the opponent for 6 seconds, frozen opponents cannot attack/move or use items, frozen opponents cannot take damage
  • ice can be damaged
  • ice has 400 hp
  • throwing a grenade at an ice wall extends the hp of the existing wall by 200 hp
  • ice are permanent structures
  • only 3 ice can exist at a time

Ultimate: (Giantess); skadi makes an ice armor

  • Cd 80 seconds
  • Ice armor increases health by 100 hp
  • Ice armor is permanent until deactivated or destroyed

  • @Adendon ok i like this idea dude really creative. ok so i do have some issues the passive is a big one. ok so freezeing downed opponents isnt really worth it as it is so easy to just kill them in general id consider instead makeing your allies gain ice over them to protect them from damage when downed and thus stopping their death until you can revive them. the tac sounds good but id kind of prefer it if say it hits a door it just blocks the door and makes a barrier behind it. it will eventually melt but it is much more durable. id also consider adding the effect that it can freeze placeables and stopping them from working eg a wattson ult. i have no issue with the ult however id add that it resets any melting points on the barriers or team mates shield adding a sence of unique playability that id really love to play
  • Updated 9/29/2022 I felt that the new upcoming legend leaks were too similar to Skadi's abilities so I updated Skadi. Personally, I think I made Skadi a bit too powerful, but the synergy of her skills makes a lot more sense now; she's no longer just an "ice themed" champion. I also changed her from a defense to a support legend to reflect her new abilities.

  • @Adendon Adding HP/Shields is always problematic.
    Lets say you come up against Skadi, Reventant and Gibby.

    Can you have Gibby with 100 (or 200?) extra health? Will it use the Fortified perk?
    Will Revenant be able to use his ult, and then you have Frostarmor on top of that?
    Maybe: revtotem -> frost grenade -> *death* -> Skadi ult to refresh armor -> new attack.

    While there is the usage of an ultimate or more, and it should be effectful, it can spiral and be really strong.

    Also, with the recast of frostzones. What happens if someone is reviving in one and you use the ultimate? Are they interrupted?
