Jhin (League of Legends)
Villainous Male Human
Upkeep: 3/week
Min Bid: ???

Jhin is as he is seen in League of Legends and its ancillary materials., with an Infinity Edge, Rapid Firecannon, Essence Reaver, Youmuu's Ghostblade, and Duskblade. He may not use summoner spells.

This stage is beneath me, but I will elevate it. (Passive): Jhin prefers to be a solo performer. He will not share any knowledge he gains before battle with his team, though he will still cooperate in the battle itself within normal restrictions.

One... (Pre-Battle): Every week, Jhin may mark an enemy target. He will gain all knowledge of that merc's abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

Two... (Trigger): After his team has used two non-trigger, non-Jhin abilities, Jhin will scout his target and their friends, gaining full knowledge of this week's terrain.

Three... (Trigger): After the third non-trigger, non-Jhin ability, Jhin will set up six hidden Lotus Traps in strategic locations through the terrain, though not within 10 feet of the enemy's spawn point. Lotus traps function as they do in League of Legends gameplay.

FOUR! (Trigger) After the fourth non-trigger, non-Jhin ability, Jhin will find his opportunity and shoot his target with a super-bullet, KOing them.

Upgrades

Ability upgrade: After FOUR! triggers, Jhin will make sure it's a work of art that everyone will notice. The target cannot be revived, and their body will be reshaped by Jhin's magic into a grisly spectacle with a massive lotus of flesh erupting from it that Jhin places in the center of the terrain. Upon seeing it, each enemy merc has a 50-50 chance of being either terrified or disturbingly fascinated with the "exhibit."

New ability
A costume, some makeup... a spray of blood. (Start of Battle): Jhin is patient, waiting for the exact right cue to let his drama begin. Every three weeks, Jhin may come to battle 30 seconds early disguised as a neutral NPC. He may choose when to put on his mask and become a combatant again, though the enemy team might start to suspect him 10 seconds after they see him.

New Peacetime

(Peacetime) Happy Rusev Day - Every day, during Peacetime, Rusev may declare that it is Rusev Day. It will be Rusev Day. Happy Rusev Day. This ability is negated if Rusev is KO'd or injured.

New Pre-Battle

(Pre-Battle) Rusev Putria - During Rusev Day, Rusev may deliver as many Bulplexes to opponents before the match as there have been Rusev Days where Rusev has not used this ability. The Bulplexes deal incurable damage and will have been considered to have taken place when the opponent has the least armor on possible.

New Trigger

(Trigger) Handsome Rusev - If a female mercenary in Rusev's match is hit by an ability on Rusev Day, Rusev will give them a cold fish to make them feel better.

New Limited-Use Results Results

(Results, Uses: 0) The Twelve Days Of Rusev - Once this ability has been obtained, Rusev will count the amount of times the Rusev Day terrain has been used, the amount of cold fish given, the number of tanks Rusev has ridden by his own ability, the amount of ability-used Accolades he has performed, the number of Bulplexes and Machka Kicks that he has performed through his ability, and the amount of times it has been Rusev Day. What Rusev gains access to depends on the number he comes up with. Happy Rusev Day. This upgrade may be taken multiple times. Rusev may choose an option from lower on the list if he would like. Rusev's counter will reset every time he takes this ability.

Every Bulplex Rusev delivers using 'Rusev Putria' will have a 33% chance of stunning the opponent for the first 12 seconds of battle, dizzying them. However, the ability will go on recharge for two Rusev Days if either of these effects occur. This is a permanent upgrade.

37 - 49: Rusev may make his abilities other than declaring it to be Rusev Day unable to be negated. Even if Rusev is KO'd, if he declared the ability beforehand, it will still happen.

50+: Rusev may deliver a Machka Kick to every mercenary in the game that is not on his team. This has a 12% chance of KO'ing them, making them unable to be purchased during the next Peacetime by teams other than Rusev's if they are not part of any team. Rusev may choose an upgrade lower on the list in addition to this one if this option is chosen.

Terrain

Rusev Day - Rusev may choose any rostered opponent's terrain as if they were his own. The terrain will be exactly the same, except the Bulgarian flag will be hung everywhere. This terrain can only be chosen on Rusev Day. This choice will be made within six hours of the terrain bid being finalized, or it will be randomized.

(Pre-Battle, 4 weeks CD) Maria will not let anyone delve deeper into the secrets at the heart of the nightmare, lest they suffer the same fate as her.

It always comes down to the hunter's helper to clean up after these sorts of messes. (Trigger): If the targeted Merc refuses to be KO'd, Gehrman will intervene more directly.

A pre-selected allied ability declared this wartime will instead be considered to be declared by Eric Sparrow, with all mention of the original mercenary being replaced with "Eric 'A-Face' Sparrow" in the ability description. He will not change the parameters of the declaration (i.e. if an ability was declared by a female mercenary, the ability will still be considered to come from a 'Female'), but will be considered the original target that used the ability for interaction purposes. If the ability was a Start of Battle ability, Eric will copy that timing as well, requiring Eric to be rostered for the ability to go through. If the ability would buff or transform solely the initiator of the ability, only then will Eric receive those buffs. This ability cannot change the result of the affected ability in any way.

Combo! (Trigger, Recharge 2) - Once every three weeks, if Eric is affected by an ability that causes a numerical increase (i.e. percentage increase, double parameters, etc), he may multiply that increase on himself by the number of non-weekly non-trigger abilities used successfully by his team this Wartime.

Noctis will be able to use this weapon in battle with similar skill as its owner, but does not receive any extra abilities or parameter adjustment.

It's Good To Be King (Start of Battle) - In Noctis' world, being a king (or soon-to-be-king) comes with more than its normal advantages.

This entourage will follow Noctis' orders implicitly, can engage in link strikes and with him, and will guard Noctis like he was their close friend. Additionally, any battle Noctis fights in will have the dark of night removed from it; the weather will always be bright and sunny.

There might be more iconic things to bring out from slay the spire (like the actual characters or some of the bosses) but this seems like it'd be the best support guy from the game, and although the numbers/skills might not be perfect, it does deal with everything merchant.
