Voph

Role: Assassin/Skirmisher

Background

Appearance:

Appearance Description

Lore: There is a trial, two identical vials are offered to the accused. The accused drinks one and an inquisitor drinks the other. While they wait for the poison to take effect, and for fate's verdict, they talk.

Inquisitors don’t usually get old, unless they are old to begin with and consider this their rightful retirement.

Voph has had a lot of these conversations.

Abilities

P Indoctrination and Heresy

Us Vs them, always has been.

Indoctrination: Voph inducts allied champions into her cult. At rank 3 of each ability, she makes another ally a cultist.

Heresy: Voph’s ability damage brands enemy champions as a heretic (only one champion per ability cast, prioritises champs who are already heretics), for 3s or until she damages a new champion with abilities.

When a champion stops being a heretic, they can’t become a heretic again for 10s.

Basic attacks from Voph and cultists stack persecution on the heretic. Persecution increases the attack speed of Voph and her cultists against the heretic by (10 1 per stack)%.

Q Flense

60 mana | 8/7/6/5/4s Cooldown

Teach your followers well

Voph stabs her daggers forward dealing (1.0 ad 40/60/80/100/120) physical damage to the first enemy hit applying a decaying slow and any on hit effects.

If this hits a champion, Voph and nearby cultists spin, hitting nearby enemies for (0.6 ad 20/30/40/50/60) physical damage and applying the same slow.

Enemies hit by multiple spins take reduced damage but the slow fully stacks and each hit applies a stack of persecution to the heretic. The delay on the spin is reduced by Voph’s attack speed against the first target hit.

W Zealotry

80 Mana | 14s Cooldown

Sweet if you can stomach it

Voph drinks from her vial, she gains an aura that applies grievous wounds to nearby enemies and grants her omnivamp, bonus movement speed and ghosting for 3s.

Cultists carry their own vials that recharged with independent cooldowns, casting this on a cultist grants its bonuses to Voph and her ally at the same time, and the two share any healing from the omnivamp.

E Mysterious Ways

60/55/50/45/40 mana | 12/11/10/9/8s Cooldown

Voph dashes in target direction, but not over walls, dealing (0.5 ad 10/20/30/40/50) physical damage to enemies she passes through.

Hitting an enemy champion or allied cultist causes Voph to stop dashing, deal her dash damage in an area around her target and leap into the air for 1s.

While airborne she may recast this ability as a vector targeted ability, blinking to the start and dashing again.

Voph can chain together multiple dashes provided she leaps from a new champion each time.

R Purging Pyre

100 Mana | 80/60/40s Cooldown

Seek absolution, whatever the cost.

First Cast- Voph reveals the heretic until they stop being a heretic. During this time she won’t make new champions heretics.

Second Cast- Voph’s next attack against the heretic absolves them of their heresy. The former heretic burns for 5s taking (10/15/20/25/30 0.01ap 1/1.5/2/2.5/3% missing health) magic damage per second per stack of persecution removed.

If the target dies while burning, they explode dealing (10/15/20/25/30 0.01ap 1/1.5/2/2.5/3% of their maximum health) per stack of persecution removed as magic damage in an area around them. This explosion makes all enemy champions hit heretics for 3s and shares any removed persecution between them.

Playing As Voph

Voph is single minded, she persues her targets with relentless agression gaining stacking power as she focuses down the heretic. But unlike most assassins she has a lot of interactions with allies gated behind them joining her cult.

Q allows her to dish out damage and a stacking slow and build up her passive while her E lets her stick to targets. For survivability, her W further rewards her for agression or lets her benifit from allied agression.

Finally R provides a powerful vision tool that can become a strong finisher after a long fight and even a way to start her next fight ahead.
