A hero concept for every role: Part 1 Vishkar Tank

Hey I am making a hero for every role concept for fun. Sadly there will be no visual aids because I can’t pay a commissioned artist (Im poor because Warframe skins) but I would LOVE to share my hero ideas.

My goal is to create a hero for every role and post them with interval and I will link the posts with eachother when done or make a finalized post with all 3 concepts.

I would love feedback/roasting.

Tank hero: Exec

Brief Design and Biography:

Summary

Visually speaking Exec is a broadly built older indian man whose general design and dress seem to have the aesthetic fusion of Vishkar uniform and a military general’s outfit with medals. Salt and peppered haired man in his sixties

Exec, also known as Aadarsh Thakor was a member of the Indian Armed Forces, achieving the rank of Colonel at a young age right at the beginning of the omnic crisis, and even more quickly rising through the ranks during the crisis due to the loss if many talented generals, he achieved the rank of general by the end of the crisis. Seeing the militaries of the worlds be ill prepared for such a wide scale invasions and an offer from Vishkar to test a new experimental form of weaponry inspired by hardlight he accepted to join them. Over time his alignment of their ideals of order and power he used his knowledge of military protocol to take control and lead Vishkar’s more combat oriented and covert operations. Exec is now one of the main tools when all civil means are expired. Is he the executive or the executioner?

“Hostility works if courtesy fails.”

General goals: Exec is an almost fully melee focused tank that creates varied melee weapons. He is a rush tank that ideally works close range.

STATS:
Movement Speed: Normal
HP: 475 normal health (RoleQ)
Size: As Tall as Hazard/ Maugs, but thinner hitbox.

Right Click: Directive: Tesudo.
Cooldown: 7 seconds after break

Inspired by the military tactic of a shield wall from rome.

Exec creates a forward facing semi-spherical shield that covers him from the front, top and sides with 700 hp for up to 5 seconds. On recast the shield can be sent forward like a projectile that on impact does 10% of its remaining hp as damage and gives Exec a 30% speed boost for the remainder of the duration.

Enters Sword and Shield stance:

His weapons become a hardlight sword and shield and he gains 125 shield health. The sword has a 6 meter range and does sweeping attacks each dealing 70 damage every 0.65 seconds and restoring 25 shields per hit per target.

L Shift: Directive: Blitzkrieg.
Cooldown: 10 seconds on cast

Summary

Exec leaps forward similarly to doomfist slam in range and strikes the ground as he creates a Hardlight Maul as his stance weapon hitting the ground and dealing 100 damage in direct hit with the hammer that falls off to 30 damage in a 8m radius AoE. All enemies struck are slowed by 30% for 3 seconds.

He enters Maul Stance - He passively moves 15% faster. He swings a maul in a wide 180 degrees arc every 0.8 seconds dealing 60 damage from 0-5 meters from him and 120 damage in 5.1-9 meters from him (there is a red circle on the ground that shows the beginning of the crit zone)

E: Second Ability : Directive: Coup De Main
Cooldown: 12 seconds on cast

Summary

Exec creates a Hardlight Urumi that radiates flames that encircles an area up to 20m away from Exer with a 8m radius. Enemies caught in it are all slightly pulled to the center and have burning applied to them.

Exec’s flaming Urumi is a thin melee that is 10 meters long that produces flaming projectiles (Pharah size, slightly slower than symm orbs) with every hit that deal 60 damage and inflict burning every 0.65 seconds.

Ultimate: No Man’s Land.
1780 cost

Summary

Exec Uses a special experimental hardlight spear as he leaps forward and stabs it into the ground creating a 20 meter in radius circle on the ground (30 meter vertical range) entering the Sang Spear stance. Everyone (Exec and his allies included) inside the sphere get a constantly reapplying debuff that blocks all healing and overhealth generation unless an elim is scored which restores 25% hp. Lasts 10 seconds

The Sang Spear has the length of the hammer and the attack speed, extra shield health and shield health regen of the sword and applies the burning effect and projectile spawning if the urumi dealing 100 damage per hit. Enemies that are burning within the no man’s land will receive 25% extra damage from all sources while the ultimate is active

Yeah I know the ultimate will be VERY controversial in its unique effect.

My idea is of the hardened general barely contained in the Vishkar suit and pretense of class. All if his ability names and historical or modern military terms.

To me his gameplay identity is struggling in the neutral of a fight most of the time, but being the king of midfight that has very dangerous engages and specializes in engaging at the right time into the thick of the enemy team.

aaay. not bad at all. Although i’d reduce his Max HP to 425 and give him slightly more Shield Creation with…

''Enters Sword and Shield stance:

His weapons become a hardlight sword and shield and he gains 125 shield health. The sword has a 6 meter range and does sweeping attacks each dealing 70 damage every 0.65 seconds and restoring 25 shields per hit per target.‘’

Toooo roughly about 150 Shield HP can Restore 30 Shields Per Hit i reckon so he has to get in there and brawl more rather than be able to retreat with his 475 HP.

I have two reservations about your idea

  1. Open Queue hp pool will become 300 which means he will be a widow victim. They changed JQ and DF away from that.

  2. His playstyle may become too much of “kill everyone” vs “explode” feast or famine dichotomy. Currently the idea of shield stance is to deny defense abilities in reaction to his engage and to extend his presence after a burst engage but he ideally wants to stay in maul stance as long as possible

PS. Please reply cuz I wanna add some flavour text to him later and forum won’t let me double reply

I am glad you asked. I am not just roasting turkey this Tanksgiving (sic). His name is absolutely dreadful. He got his business degree for THIS?

Oh no ho! Nevermind. You ate and left no crumbs.

Lame! Make him faster!

Seriously. He needs to be faster if he is malnourished.

Okay, that’s pretty awesome. I was going to say the idea was good before I read about the speed boost. So this idea is, like, twice as good. Love it.

Okay, yeah, everything makes sense if you just read. Noted.

Very interesting approach.

Mamma Mia!

:muscle::face_holding_back_tears:

Ayo?

:muscle::face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Neat! So it’s like Marth’s tipper… Fascinating.

Had to Google.

That’s pretty hot, but not going to lie, he’s starting to feel slightly overtuned. Ha ha ha…

My teammates already hate me enough, Warlock.

Overall, I believe the idea is solid. I would totally play this tank and he sounds more fun that most characters that we do get on the tank role. I have a feeling that if people struggle to stay away from Reinhardt’s hammer, they are going to truly despise Exec with every fiber of their being, though. That’s never great.

Thanks for your feedback.

To be biased around the ult, sropping the ult in the middle if your team is a terrible idea without setup. Its two sided nature makes it a gamble but its also is extremely good at layering with aggressive ults and can deny ults like trans or orbital.

Plus I kinda made him Lucio’s boyfriend ideal synergy as Sound barrier basically removes the drawbacks of no mans land.

Now for some dialogue.

Ult Line: “Maar daalo ya maar daalo”

(Supposed to mean “Kill or be killed” in Hindi. I hope AI translator didn’t betray me)

Kill Quotes: (only english ones sorry I don’t know hindi)

Doomfist: “Good theory, subpar execution.”
Symmetra: “This isn’t dance class, Vaswani.”
Symmetra: “You are regrettably expendable, my dear.”
Lifeweaver: “Caught you, rat.”
Lifeweaver: “To use such technology for… Gardening.”
In ult while healing is denied: “They couldn’t save you.”
Reinhardt: “I’ve always wanted to face a crusader.”
Tracer: “I think I stepped on a fly.”
Omnic: “Stop pretending you’re different, machine.”

Warframe mentioned. Going to kiss you on the mouth.

Cool concept though. But the ultimate is indeed very… controversial

You may enjoy my dps concept soon. Inspired by Gauss
