Idea Request: Archer Hero

[Ironside]

Hello, so I'm looking for a few ideas to my new hero in my map Great Battles - Middle Ages.

So far there are 2 heroes, Leo, a melee fighter, offensive hero and Jaina, a ranged supporter.

So my third hero will be Lilly the Archer, I need ideas for 2 more spells for her (1 normal and 1 ultimate).

So far she has:

1. Burning Arrows, a spell to apply continuous damage to a building
2. Power Shot, a spell which knock backs + fly backs the target upon hit

The spell must not be some complete magic things, try to fit the theme middle ages (you can go a bit into over natural strength though).

She must have a passive-type spell for an Archer

3. Quick Act, at XX% of the time, she will hit any enemy unit in XXX AOE around her with her steel arrows that will cause stun towards the enemy unit for X second.

4. Arrow Armageddon, Global Cast Range (can be cast to anywhere on the map). Takes 4 seconds to cast (since the animation will fit well). Fires a raining arrow towards the targeted point covering in XXX AOE. Deals XXX damage.

And if you want all these ideas to become reality, tell me

What about a spell book with various enchanted auto casting arrows like the burning arrows you mentioned, cold arrows, lightning arrows, exploding arrows, piercing arrows and so on.

Certainly sounds amazing, if you can make those too, then this is solved.

That's kind of hard to control, isn't it?

Would require knowledge of damage detection and spellbooks

Well depends on how strong you make them.

Sniping - when activated, Lilly starts charging for up to 10 seconds. Using the skill while she charges will allow her to fire a powerful shot at the target, dealing damage based on time she spent charging. Moving breaks charging.

Saggitarus - Ultimate - grants Lilly greatly increased damage, high critical strike chance and all her cooldowns are refreshed every second. Lasts for 6 seconds.

That's just too much magical...And snipping spell is going to be far to hard to channel in this map

And as said, defskull already suggested good spells.

Quick Act and Arrow Armageddon is done
Apparently, Arrow Armageddon is not a channeling spell, is that okay with you ?
Like the usual, if you see that you doesn't like, tell me

 

[Ironside]

These two spells seem without problems, thank you!

EDIT:

Just found one thing now, when the Arrow Armageddon is fired, the falling arrows could use about 2 seconds delay before they appear and start falling.

That's what I was worried lol
I'll try to fix it later on
