Agility Ranged

Nuker Carry

Tags: Skillshot CooldownManipulation Magical AOE Burst DOT Stun MoveSlow AttackSlow SpellScaling ItemScaling Channeling Shield AttackModifier

Playstyle: An item-centric, spell-spamming carry that plays a little bit like an Agility Tinker

Lore: Another pupil of the Dragonflame Magus who taught Lina. Was entrusted with guarding the eternal Dragonflame at their temple's heart, but after everyone else in the order was struck down (by Sven?) decided to absorb the flame to protect it and exact his vengeance.

Appearance: A cross between Lina's aesthetic and Ember Spirit's stature, but by default Ignis's flames are all blue, with the exception of Dragonflame Communion which turns Conflagration's flame waves scarlet red (probably with a persona/arcana to make his flames orange like the Dragonflame Magus's).


# Overview

Q: Flame Lance
Flings a short-range projectile at the target point that stuns and deals damage in a small radius around the first enemy hit.

W: Flamekeeper's Focus
Places a rune that greatly increases your spell cast speed and cooldown rate while standing on it, then detonates at the end of its duration to damage enemies in a larger radius.

E: Conflagration
Releases a series of slow burning waves in the target direction, with each wave placing a stacking damage over time, movement speed and attack speed slow on enemies.

R: Flame Eater
Whenever Flamekeeper takes or deals spell damage, reduces his spell and item cooldowns by a small amount. Each time this effect triggers, Flamekeeper also gains a stacking shield that blocks a flat amount of physical damage. Flame Eater can be toggled on to consume a portion of the damage shield as bonus magical damage each attack.

Shard: Flame Lance
Flame Lance's input can be held down to launch up to four lances in a row, costing the full manacost for each lance.

Scepter: (new ability) D: Dragonflame Communion
After a 1.8s channel, unleashes a series of Conflagration waves in all directions.
