Summary: A formerly Noxian chef, he uses a family relic, a chef’s knife, to fight for his right to live free of oppression. Using culinary techniques, he disrupts the field of battle and emboldens his allies with his delicious meals.

Appearance

Florentine has dark hair, pale skin, and a stubble-coated chin. He wears a classic chef’s coat, checkered pants, black non-slip shoes, and a tall chef’s hat. His knives are held diagonally across his back in a black-stained leather sheath/bandolier. A bottle of unmarked liquor is held at his right hip, a lighter on his left hip, and some folded baking parchment paper in his back pocket. His chef’s knife, and his knife honing rod, are carried in his hands.

Lore

Former chef to the Du Couteau family. Defected from Noxus during the Invasion of Ionia. Spent many years bouncing from village to village in Demacian territory, being spit on and ridiculed for being Noxian. He uses a magical knife passed down through his family, all chefs in their own time, which is capable of performing precise knife cuts across a kitchen. Slowly, he has gathered a small group of Demacians that support his cuisine, and he soon hopes to have his own food cart. He is a perfectionist, constantly striving to improve his craft, and always in search of the next new ingredient.

Stats

Abilities

Passive: Couteau Aiguisé - Florentine gains a stack of Honed Edge every second he isn’t in combat with an enemy champion or structure. Attacking an enemy champion or structure loses a stack of Honed Edge after the damage is dealt. Attacking Starved enemy champions does not lose stacks.

For each stack of Honed Edge, Florentine gains 1 lethality. Florentine can have (level x 1.5) Honed Edge stacks.

Q1: Julienne - Florentine slices in three parallel lines in front of him, damaging enemies hit and marking enemy champions hit. Champions can only be hit once. Florentine can then cast Brunoise.

The lines are parallel with his direction of facing. He slices the left-most line first, then moving to the middle line, then moving to the right-most line.

Q2: Brunoise - Florentine slices in three parallel lines in front of him, damaging enemies hit. Enemy champions marked by Julienne take bonus damage equal to their total health. Champions can only be hit once.

The lines are perpendicular with his direction of facing. He slices the nearest line first, then moving to the middle line, then moving to the furthest line.

If uncast in 3 seconds, Julienne’s cooldown starts.

W: Papillote - Florentine tosses out two paper pouches, flying in target direction, one of which arcs to the left and one of which arcs out to the right. The first enemies hit by each projectile will take physical damage and enemy champions are snared. Other enemy champions can attack the paper bag that is snaring their ally, destroying it after a few hits and ending the snare early.

E: Flambé - Florentine slings high-proof liquor in a narrow cone, slowing enemies hit. Then he ignites the liquor, dealing magic damage every 0.5 seconds and applying grievous wounds for the duration to nearby enemies covered in liquor.

An enemy could be at the furthest end of the liquor cone, and avoid being ignited if they can get away in time.

R: Festin ou Famine - Florentine channels for 1 second, and can move while channelling. After the channel, nearby allies gain a bonus to their health, armor, and magic resistance equal to a percentage of Florentine’s bonus health, total armor, and total magic resistance. Nearby enemies are Starved, being slowed and taking physical damage over time equal to a percentage of their current health.

Enemies take damage every 0.5 seconds for the duration. Tenacity doesn’t reduce the duration of the slow.
