I actually came up with this character a long time ago (about June, 2016), but my draft was in Chinese and I was too lazy to translate it (google translate doesn't perform well on Asian language). But it seems that the character fits well in this competition, so I translated the whole thing. I will explain the hero background in the later passage. The music instrument is Guqin, an ancient Chinese string instrument. You can google guqin to see what it is like, and there are plenty videos that demonstrate the general vibe of the music.
Hero name: Tang, the muse of the cloud (full name Weichi, Tang) Position: lane Role: Mage/Sniper Difficulty: medium
Basic Stat: HP: 650-1350 Energy: 400-750 Armor: 20-80 Shield: 20-90 Weapon: 70-140 Atk speed: 100%-120% Range: 6 Move speed: 2.9
Reverberation Every time Tang critical strike or damage an enemy hero with Gaoshan, Tang will receive a stack of echo, maximum 4 stack. Echo decay one stack per second when Tang stop dealing damage for 5 second. When Tang's speed exceed 4, Tang will automatically summon a crane. When riding the crane, Tang can move while attacking.
Gaoshan Tang stroke her Guqin, attacking target with a string of sound. Every stack of echo reduce Gaoshan's cooldown and increase its range. When Tang have 4 stack of echo, Gaoshan will be consider as a basic attack, and can resets basic attack cooldown on activation. Damage:75/125/175/225/325 (150%cp) (75%wp) Range Increase: 0.25/0.25/0.5/0.5/0.75 Cooldown reduction: 0.1/0.2/0.3/0.4/0.5 Cooldown: 4/4/4/4/3 Energy cost: 40/40/40/40/40
Liushui Tang perform a wave of sound in the target direction, damaging and slowing impacted enemy. Every time Liushui hits an enemy hero, it will consume a stack of echo , extending the slow duration to 1.5s and dealing extra crystal damage (100%cp). Activating Liushui will put Gaoshan into cooldown. Damage: 100/150/200/250/300 (100%cp) Slow: 20%/30%/40%/50%/75% Cooldown: 10/9/8/7/5 Energy cost: 100/100/100/100/75
Crane ride When activated, Tang instantly remove all slow effect and gain 1.5 movement speed. The speed boost decay to 0.5 within 3 second, and will end when Tang's movement speed is below 4. When Tang has 4 stack of echo, Crane ride will be temporarily replaced by ability "Duanqin." When activating Duanqin, Tang will perform a 3 second finale, slowing surrounding enemy and constantly damage them. Duanqin can be reactivated to end early. Reactivate after 1 second will silence enemy equipment for 3 second, reactivating after 2 second will silence enemy for 2 second. After channeling for 3 second, Tang will end the finale, dealing damage to all impacted enemy and stun them for 1 second. After, Tang removes all stacks of echo and set Gaoshan and Liushui into cooldown. Crane ride cooldown: 4/4/4 Crane ride energy cost: 10/20/30 Duanqin cooldown: 75/50/25 Slow: 25%/50%/75% Damage per second: 200/400/600 (200%cp) Ending damage: 100/200/300 (150%cp) Duanqin energy cost: 30% remaining energy.
Other info I purposely left the ability name in Chinese, after been inspired by Taka's ability. But just for clarification, Gaoshan means rising mountain, Liushui means flowing water, and Duanqin means broken Guqin. The ability name was related to a famous Chinese story.
"Tang can move while attacking" means that she ignores basic attack wind up, Gaoshan channeling (0.25s), Liushui channeling (0.5s), and Duanqin channeling. When casting Duanqin, Tang cannot move, but this does not stop Tang from passively summoning crane by outside speed boost, which will enable Tang to move.
Gaoshan has a fast projectile speed (slightly faster than ringo A), and is single targeted with basic range 7. Liushui has a slow projectile speed (a speed of 12.5); projectile width is about 4m, range 7. Duanqin has a radius of 6m.
Hero Background I have a three page lore written out in Chinese, and I gave up trying to translate it, so here are the brief version. Tang is a 14 years old girl from House Weichi. Geographically, she should be somewhere near where Skye and Taka lives (I haven't figured out what the general map is like.) The house was a distant relation of the empiror, and is one of the most powerful house in the dynasty. Tang has two older brother, a younger sister, and a younger brother. The house major in business and art, and of course, magic. The oldest brother was the successor of the house, and his abilities are mainly for business, not for combat. The second oldest brother, Qing, took interest in Weiqi, or Chinese chess. Tang took interest in guqin. When Tang was 9 years old, she took a trip to Gythia, and met Vox. Tang lose to Vox in a music duel, because Vox's music was more aggressive and loud. Inspired by Vox, Tang traveled back to her house and start to practice musical magic in another way. She accidentally discovered a way to use her guqin in a combatant way, and was greatly interested by this new ability. Later on, Tang met Ozo at the carnival, and learned that Ozo is going to a place called Halcyon Fold, where many powerful figures combat their skills. Tang even learned that Vox was there. Wanting a rematch, Tang secretly sneak out House Weichi and went for the Fold.
(spoiler: Qing's magic abilities was not supposed to be used in combat, but after hearing that Tang is going to Halcyon Fold, he invented a way to use his chess magic in combat to protect his sister, and followed after Tang into the Fold. Qing was also a concept support hero I created, but I haven't translated it yet.)
Voice line Hey! That is unfair! Be quiet, I want to hear the bird sing. Let the sound flow by it self, don't disturb it. Ricecake! Where did Qing go? I can't find him in the house. Faster crane! Wohhh not that fast. 高山流水遇知音 Rise like mountain, flow like water Slow down Qing! I cannot walk that fast. Math? Eww... (When casting Duanqin)敌如断弦！ (After death)noooo not again! (After death)知音已去，吾何留？ (After death)[crying sound]
