Overview
Buffer, support. Unique hero that behaves differently depending on positioning. Can be DPS if placed in position 3 or 5, but at position 4 he’s most useful as king.
At the start of battle, Lysander immediately casts his Ultimate without spending any Energy, and while casting, Lysander is immune to control effects. All heroes—both enemies and allies—are defined as chess pieces with different functions. Heroes in the front line, the center of the back line, and the sides of the back line are defined as Pawns, Kings, and Rooks, respectively. These chess piece effects do not disappear when Lysander dies. Depending on the chess piece effect of Lysander himself, subsequent uses of his Ultimate will have different effects. When Lysander is deployed to the front line, his normal attacks are melee. From the back line, his normal attacks are ranged.
Lvl 2Subsequent uses of Lysander’s Ultimate only cost 800 Energy.
Lvl 3Subsequent uses of Lysander’s Ultimate only cost 600 Energy.
Front line heroes are Pawns: The Attack and Defense of Pawns are reduced by 40%. If a Pawn comes within a certain distance of the enemy back line, it will transform into a Knight, and their Attack and Defense will be increased by 80% instead. When Lysander is a Pawn, his Ultimate stabs at an enemy in front of him, dealing damage equal to 550% of his Attack Rating and knocking them into the air. When Lysander is a Knight, his Ultimate teleports him in front of an enemy hero, prioritizing Kings as the target. He then stabs multiple times, launching 4 strikes that deal damage equal to 280% of his Attack Rating, while the final strike deals damage equal to 620% of his Attack Rating.
Lvl 2When Lysander is a Pawn or Knight, each strike of damage from his Ultimate permanently reduces the target’s Defense Rating by 8%. This effect can be stacked up to 6 times.
Lvl 3When Lysander is a Pawn or Knight, each strike of damage from his Ultimate permanently reduces the target’s Defense Rating by 10%. This effect can be stacked up to 6 times.
Lvl 4When Lysander is a Pawn or Knight, he recovers 500 Energy when his Ultimate kills an enemy hero.
Heroes in the center of the back line are Kings: Kings inflict 65% less damage and health loss. When a King dies, they inflict AoE health loss equal to 60% of the King’s max health to allies in a large area. When Lysander is a King, his Ultimate grants the 2 allied heroes closest to the enemy’s back line position the “Inspired” effect for 9 seconds, increasing their Energy Recovery Rate and Tenacity by 20 and 50 points, respectively. It also applies a debuff of the same value on the 2 enemy heroes closest to the allied back line position.
Lvl 2The Inspired effect also increases Dodge by an amount equal to 20% of Lysander’s initial Dodge.
Lvl 3The Inspired effect also increases Physical Pierce and Magic Pierce by an amount equal to 75% of Lysander’s initial Physical Pierce.
Heroes on the sides of the back line are Rooks: Rooks deal more damage the farther away the enemy is, for a max damage boost of 75%. Upon dealing damage to enemies beyond a certain distance away, the enemy is also knocked back. This knockback effect can be triggered up to 1 times every 2 seconds. However, enemies also deal more damage to Rooks the closer they are, for a max damage boost of 50%. When Lysander is a Rook, his Ultimate deals 5 strikes of damage equal to 450% of his Attack Rating to the enemy farthest from himself.
Lvl 2When Lysander is a Rook, each strike of damage from his Ultimate also inflicts health loss equal to 5% of the target’s max health, not to exceed 500% of Lysander’s Attack Rating.
Lvl 3When Lysander is a Rook, each strike of damage from his Ultimate also inflicts health loss equal to 6% of the target’s max health, not to exceed 600% of Lysander’s Attack Rating.
