Hey Fella’s Melke returning with a new concept. this time I am working on the battle pet Lil’Deathwing
This is for the 11th CDC you can find here. the theme of which is Tiny things. and I don’t think it gets tinier then a Whelp. even if it’s a Whelp Immitating the mighty World Breaker.
Introduction
Insert Kevin Voice
This insanely cute whelp specializes in quick powerful strikes. Making the enemy start the fight with a burst of potent AOE and to finish off fleeing enemies with improved movement speed. However, as a Melee with low health, he will require aid from teammates to not be quickly and easily focused
Base Attributes
Role: Melee Assassin
Health: 1400
Mana: 500
Speed: 20% faster then normal (Melke Note: this is meant to be still slightly slower then Lunara but faster then the base hero movement speed
Attack Range: 3.5 (just a smidge shorter then Valla)
Rate of Fire: 1.2 per second
Damage: 30(+20 for melee range)
Mount: Standard mount. Deathwing can only use Magical Mounts and will perch on top of it, the standard mount is a flight animation where he glides.
Base Abilities
D: Soar
Cooldown 55 seconds
Deathwing flies into the air becoming untargetable and gains 40% movespeed for 4 seconds. He cannot auto attack while this is active and using any ability will cancel the ability upon completion
While Soar is active Tail Swipes range is increased by 10% and the range restriction on the bonus damage has it’s minimum increased by 50% Note this does not effect any talents that are triggered by range they will still require the 50% closeness to trigger.
Using Roll in this state will make Roll 75% faster (this just applies to how fast he moves while rolling) and add a minor knockback to the end effect.
Shadowflames duration is increased by 1 second and instead of being just a single patch will follow a line between Lil’deathwing and the target location. this also adds a .75 second cast time.
Q Tail Swipe
Cooldown: 8 seconds
Cost: 40 mana
Cast Range: Shadow Charge RangeLil Deathwing dashes towards the target and lashes his tale dealing between 100 and 200 spell damage (Calculated based on the range between Lil Deathwing and target when the ability is cast the closer the more damage) and dealing 25% to 75% of the damage in an arc (also the closer the better)
This ability can be cast on an allied hero, the cooldown will be 4 seconds shorter and Lil Deathwing will gain 15% movement speed for 3 seconds
W ShadowFlame
Cooldown 8 Seconds
Mana:45
Range: Standard Mage spell range
Effect radius: a tiny bit smaller then Kael’thas Verdant Sphere FirestrikeLil Deathwing Breaths a blast of shadowflame at the target location, enemies hit by the blast receive 55 damage per second (damage ticks once per second) and are slowed by 5% while inside the effect radius. the debuff both for damage and slow will persist one second after leaving the effected area.
E Roll
Cooldown 10 seconds
Mana: 50
Distance: 1.5 Valla Vault’sDeathwing is engulfed in fire and does a barrel roll in the targeted direction, enemies hit by this Roll are ignited taking 125 damage over 4 seconds (ticks once per second)

Voicelines
I'm not cute I'm Deadly! Burn Insect.... what do you mean that's not my catch phrase? Death from above! Cataclysm was the greatest expansion!Melke note: the last voice line is meant to be a joke about Lil’Deathwings position. he was the in game pet from the Cataclysm COllectors edition so he’s obligated to say that.
