Air-Walker

CosmicD tier

Dtier

Air-Walker's full name is Gabriel Lan.

• Power Cosmic

  Passive

  Offensive Combat Power Rate is decreased by 40%. Dev Notes: Air-Walker makes up for this by gaining Power over time through the Power Cosmic. Gain 3.5% of a Bar of Power every 1 second(s). Armor Rating. At tier 6: 964.29 Attack Rating. At tier 6: 450.45 Air-Walker starts the quest with 1 Power Cosmic Buff(s), which persists between fights. He gains 1 Power Cosmic Buff(s) when he wins a fight. When Air-Walker has no Power Cosmic Buffs, he will gain one after a 7.5 second cooldown. Special Attack 3 can only be used if Air-Walker has 3 Power Cosmic Buffs or is Defending. Dev Notes: Air-Walker needs to win 2 fights before he can use his Special Attack 3, but the effects it gives him are absolutely worth the wait. Power Cosmic is also powerful in its own right, granting a very noticeable amount of Power over time once Air-Walker has 2 or more of them.

  At tier 6

• Dark Tide

  Passive

  When Power Drained, Power Locked, or Power Burned Inflict 3 Dark Tide Debuffs. Dev Notes: Important to note that this doesn’t include Power Steal effects, so various Mystic champions will be able to bypass this ability. The Dark Tide - Debuff - Max 10 Dark Tide Debuffs reduce Block Proficiency by 93.75 during their Opponent's Special Attacks, and last indefinitely. Champions suffering from both Armor Break and Dark Tide take Direct Damage every 0.5 second(s). This damage is equal to 2% of their Opponent's Base Attack per Dark Tide. Opponents remove one Dark Tide Debuff every time they fill a Bar of Power, or whenever the Power Cosmic is Nullified. Dev Notes: Dark Tide Debuffs are the core mechanic of Air-Walker’s kit. As noted below, the main way to apply them is through his Special Attacks. Once they are applied, any Armor Break will cause the Opponent to take damage over time. The reason for the peculiar wording of the damage is that if the opposing Champion happens to carry the Dark Tide into future fights, the damage will be re-calculated based on their new Opponent. The Dark Tide - Passive - Cross Fight - Max 1 When the Opponent has 10 Dark Tide Debuffs, they are combined into a Passive that lasts for the rest of the fight and the next 2 fights they participate in. The Dark Tide Passive counts as 10 Dark Tide Debuffs for Air-Walker's abilities, and also gains additional effects based on the Opponent’s Class. If the Opponent has a Dark Tide Passive, Air-Walker’s fourth Light Hit refreshes 2 Armor Break Debuff(s) on them. Dev Notes: Air-Walker gains a variety of abilities after converting 10 Dark Tide Debuffs into the permanent Passive. Also, since this is a Cross-Fight Ability, his Opponents need to be very careful when fighting Air-Walker on defense, since they can win the fight and still walk away with the Dark Tide Passive applied to them. Also, since the Dark Tide Passive counts as 10 Dark Tide Debuffs, Air-Walker won’t apply any more Dark Tide Debuffs once the Passive is in place.

• Heavy Attack Charging

  Passive

  When Charging a Heavy Attack Increase Ability Power Rate by 300% and Heavy Charging can be held for an extended duration. 75% of any Power Gained while Charging is lost over 0.75 second(s) after the Charge stops. If Air-Walker fills a Bar of Power, he gains an Unblockable Buff for 1 second(s) that is paused during his Special Attacks. If Air-Walker activates a Special Attack, he gains a Fury Buff during that Special Attack, increasing Attack Rating by . At tier 6: 3003 Dev Notes: Air-Walker gains significant benefits from charging his Heavy Attack. The increased Ability Power Rate will improve the Power Gain from the Power Cosmic, allowing his Power to rapidly increase. While he will lose most of the Power gained once the charge is done, if he activates a Special Attack during the Heavy Charge, the Special will use that Power instead, and Air-Walker won’t have any Power to lose. He also gains additional benefits for cancelling his Heavy Charge into a Special Attack. By default, he will gain a Fury Buff for the duration of that Special Attack. But if he crossed a Power Threshold while Heavy Charging, he will also gain an Unblockable Buff for the duration of that Special Attack as well. The Dark Tide - Cross Fight Class Effects

  At tier 6

• Dark Tide Class Effects

  Passive

  Tech: Reduces the duration and potency of Power Drain, Lock and Burn effects by 70%. Mutant: Reduces Offensive Ability Accuracy during Special Attacks by 33%. Skill: Critical Rating is reduced by 634.62. Science: Non-Damaging Debuffs have -25% Ability Accuracy. Cosmic: Buff potency is reduced by 50%. Mystic: Mystical energies resist the Dark Tide, so it has no additional effect. Dev Notes: Once the Dark Tide Passive is applied, it gains additional effects depending on the class of Champion it’s applied to. These effects are also Cross-Fight, so they’ll persist alongside the Dark Tide Passive even if the Champion defeats Air-Walker.

  At tier 6

• Herald of the Destroyer

  signature ability

  Inflict a Dark Tide Debuff on the Opponent every 20 - 8 second(s). Dev Notes: If Air-Walker has his Signature Ability, he’ll apply Dark Tide Debuffs over time, putting extra pressure on the Opponent to get rid of them before they’re converted into the Dark Tide Passive.

  At tier 6

• Special Attacks - Armor Break

  Passive

  Activating a Special Attack Armor Breaks the Opponent, reducing Armor Rating by 2250 for 11 second(s), stacking up to 8 time(s). If the last hit isn’t Blocked, apply 1 Dark Tide Debuff to the Opponent, and an additional one for each Buff on Air-Walker. Dev Notes: Special Attacks are the main way that Air-Walker applies Dark Tide Debuffs. Important to note that he’ll apply them both if the Attack hits, and if it misses entirely. The only way for his Opponents to avoid them is to block the last hit. And since he applies one for each Buff on him, his Power Cosmic Buffs, Fury Buffs, and Unblockable Buffs, will all help him stack Dark Tides faster. Special Attacks are also how Air-Walker Armor Breaks the Opponent, which is necessary to trigger the damage component of Dark Tide.

  At tier 6

• Special 1 - Cosmic Flame

  special attack

  Air-Walker channels the raw energy of the Power Cosmic and sends a blast of cosmic energy hurtling towards the Opponent. The last hit has a 50% chance to inflict a Stun Debuff for 2 second(s). The chance is increased by 50% flat if Air-Walker is Unblockable. Dev Notes: Since Air-Walker always applies the same number of Dark Tide Debuffs regardless which Special Attack is used, SP1 is the attack to focus on while building towards the Dark Tide Passive. This attack also greatly benefits from the Unblockable Buff that he can gain while Heavy Charging, since it will guarantee the Stun and allow him to immediately follow up on the Special Attack.

• Special 2 - Bow of Gabriel

  special attack

  Air-Walker soars above the Opponent and unleashes a cosmic blast from the Bow of Gabriel. If the Opponent has a Dark Tide Passive, this attack deals an additional 40% of the damage dealt as a burst of Energy Damage. Dev Notes: Special Attack 2 is the name of the game once the Dark Tide Passive has been applied. And since the bonus energy damage is relative to how much damage was dealt, it’ll benefit from both the Fury Buff that Air-Walker triggers through Heavy Charging, and the Armor Break Debuffs he can apply.

• Special 3 - The Herald's Call

  special attack

  Air-Walker uses the Horn of Galactus to summon the Destroyer himself to the battlefield. Galactus charges Air-Walker with energy, then redirects that energy to obliterate the Opponent! Air-Walker replaces Power Cosmic with the Power of Galactus Buff for 20 second(s), granting: Attack Rating. At tier 6: 4504.5 Regenerate 8504.4 Health. Gain 10.5% of a Bar of Power every 1 second(s). Gain a Passive Unstoppable effect. Every attack has a 100% chance to deal an additional burst of Direct Damage. The damage is equal to 5% of the damage dealt, per Dark Tide on the Opponent. Power of Galactus sets Air-Walker’s Power to 0 when it ends. Dev Notes: After spending a few fights building Power Cosmic, Air-Walker is able to unleash the Power of Galactus. This buff has a laundry list of effects, but one to pay particular attention to is the Power Gain. It’s equal to the amount of Power he would gain from 3 Power Cosmic Buffs, so the Power Galactus won’t cause him to lose out on all the Power gain he gets from charging his Heavy Attack.
