You can choose any character from any game/book/movie/show to join the Nexus…who would you add and what would their ults be?
I would choose:
Guts from Berserk
Bruiser
Ult 1- Guts performs 3 swings of his sword in a LARGE arc in front of him dealing massive damage to enemy heroes. (Like Leo’s March, but stationary) If an enemy is hit by all 3 swings, they take additional damage and are slowed by 80% for 2 seconds.
Ult 2 - Berserker Armor activates for 6 seconds. During this time, all damage taken by Guts is stored and increases his move speed, attack speed, and attack power by 5%, stacking up to 10 times. Once this effect ends, all stored damage is taken by Guts over the next 3 seconds. (Kinda like a Taz Dingo+Bloodlust+Stagger combo)
I thought that final fantasy VII would be a good crossover because their limits basically would be their abilities and ults. Almost every character would work, and you can already tell the role they would fulfill.
I’d say something similar with Star Wars, just because I like it and I think it could work but both suggestions would be a legal nightmare for everyone.
Aloy from Horizon. I actually made a Nexus OG concept heavily inspired by her:
Trait - BRAVE WILDERNESS
Each time Nora Basic Attacks an enemy Hero gains a stack of Brave for 6 seconds up to 10 maximum stacks. Each stack increases Nora’s Attack Speed by 2%.
Q - FREEZE BOMB
Cooldown: 8 seconds
Throws a bomb towards a targeted area, exploding to deal 135 damage and Slowing enemies hit by 30% decaying over 1.25 seconds.
W - FROST ARROWS
Cooldown: 12 seconds
Activate to make Nora’s next Basic Attacks within 8 seconds to Slow enemies by 20% for 1 second.
Passive: Nora’s Basic Attacks deal 15% more damage against Slowed enemies.
E - KNOCKDOWN BLAST
Cooldown: 10 seconds
Shoot out an arrow in a line after 0.25 seconds, hitting the first enemy Hero hit for 135 damage, Knocking them back and Slowing them by 20% for 1.25 seconds. If Nora is near the target, she also jumps backward.
R1 - HAILSTORM
Cooldown: 50 seconds
Shoot 5 volleys of arrows over 1.5 seconds in a large cone in front of Nora, dealing 243 damage and Slowing all enemies hit by 5% for 1.5 seconds stacking up to 5 times. While, channeling, Brave’s duration is paused.
R2 - ARROW OF YUTON
Cooldown: 40 seconds
Shoot an arrow that hits the first enemy Hero hit, dealing 155 damage. For the next 2.5 seconds, enemy Heroes are forced to randomly cast their Basic Abilities towards Nora. Affected enemy Heroes have their Spell Power reduced by 50% and their Basic Abilities recharge 100% faster.
I have been sitting here thinking for the past 3 minutes, and I’m like… “has adult life really taken my soul completely for me to not want a single character from the shows and videogames?”
And I think my final answer… is bee.
Just put a fuzzy regular bumble bee in there, but resized. That is all this simple tired mind wants. The bee will make me happy.
You place a stealthed cake on the battlefield that becomes unstealthed once your core is destroyed. The enemy team must find and channel the cake after destroying your core to win the match.
ULT 2: Companion cube
Drop the companion cube from above, it has a 4 second falling shadow animation. Any enemy units it lands on are instantly killed and it acts as terrain once it lands. Recasting destroys any existing cube.
Part of her trait would be to mock any hero that dies - friend or foe.
Given how much fun I’ve been having playing Star Wars the Old Republic I am obligated to say
Cipher 9 (the Imperial Agent origin story) prefferably with the female voice actress and mostly light aligned but not a traitor to the Empire
She’d be primarily a DPS but with sacrificing some damage in favour of support powers (like a supplementary support, kinda like how Li Li gets played in double support only designed for it)
Applying low DPS but long lasting damage over time effects from range while jumping into melee range to increase their damage (kinda like a Lunara and Valeera mixxed together but less raw CC) and having access to a build that trades more daamage to give her several support based actives that make both herself and the team more durable
The ultimates
1 would be Tactical Superiority,
Basically the Bloodlust of Spell damage but instead of everyone healing for their damage there is a secondary bonus to increase healing intake (making the healers gain double the bonus from this spell power bloodlust essentially)
The other Utliamte would be Cloaking Screen,
Gives all allies and herself untargetable and unrevealable for one second, functioning as a perfect team wide cleanse and protect to break out of wombo combo’s
