Ylldras, the Runesmith [Barrier Contest]

Ylldras, the Runesmith

Strength Melee

Durable Disabler Support

# Overview

Q: Titan Hammer
Slams down a massive hammer from the sky, silencing and then stunning enemies in a square area around the target unit.

W: Runeforge
Grants a small barrier to nearby allies and consumes rune charges to give allies a normal and a power rune buff selected from runes Ylldras has consumed. Each rune Ylldras or an ally in range consumes gives several charges and available rune buffs can be toggled through with the D and F sub-abilities.

E: Ancient Power
Provides an aura to allies in range that causes targeted spells and items to deal a separate instance of bonus damage, also healing Ylldras for the same amount each time the effect procs. When toggled on, provides double the bonus damage but instead Ylldras takes self-damage each time the effect procs.

R: Arms of Valhalla
Enhances the weapons of nearby allies for a number of attacks, causing their attacks to deal bonus damage and increasing their attack speed.

D: Toggle Normal Rune

F: Toggle Power Rune

Shard: Power Rune – Rune of Valor
Allows forging of Valor Runes, which give 40% reduced respawn time and +2 attack speed per 1% missing health to an ally that consumes the rune.

Scepter: Runeforge
Passively gives vision around all rune spots and casting Runeforge causes a random rune spot to spawn a rune (weighted towards nearby spots). Picking up a naturally-spawned rune gives twice as many charges.

# Abilities

Q: TITAN HAMMER target unit, magical
Slams down a massive hammer from the sky, silencing and then stunning enemies in a square area around the target unit.
Cast Range: 400/500/600/700
Cast Delay: 0.5s
Hammer Area: 300x300 (talent: 420x420)
Damage: 100/180/260/340
Silence Duration: 1/1.5/2/2.5s
Stun Duration: 1/1.5/2/2.5s
<cd> 24s <mana> 120/140/160/180
* On cast, a ghostly spirit hammer appears over the target and begins falling with a 0.5s delay, causing the silence on impact, then 0.5s before the end of the silence a corporeal hammer begins falling and causes the stun and damage upon landing. The initial cast procs Ancient Power's damage immediately, thus preventing enemies with Blink Daggers etc from blinking out of the initial effect.
* The area of the stun follows the targeted unit until the moment the hammer falling animation starts (e.g. the silence and stun can hit in different spots).

W: RUNEFORGE no target
Grants a small barrier to nearby allies and consumes rune charges to give allies a normal and a power rune buff selected from runes Ylldras has consumed. Each rune Ylldras or an ally in range consumes gives several charges and available rune buffs can be toggled through with the D and F sub-abilities.
Charges Gained per Rune: 3/4/5/6
Rune Collection Radius: 1200
Radius: 600
Ally Barrier: 75/100/125/150 (talent: 275/300/325/350)
Normal Rune Buffs: 1
Normal Buff Effect: 100%
Power Rune Buffs: 1
Rune Buff Effect: 30% (talent: 50%)
Barrier/Buff Duration: 8/12/16/20s
[Dispel] Barrier and rune buff can be dispeled
<cd> 35/30/25/20s <mana> 110/120/130/140
* If Ylldras has a Bottle, bottling the rune immediately provides rune charges that can be used with Runeforge.
* Allies who pickup a rune within 1200 range of Ylldras also grant him rune charges.
* Bounty Runes and Wisdom Runes provides GPM/XPM equal to 30% of their value (50% with talent) per 8s (meaning that leveling up the ability doesn't lower the GPM but you must have the barrier for 8s to get "full" value).
* Power Runes each provide 30% of their effect (50% with talent): Double Damage increases damage by 30%/50%, Arcane Rune provides 9%/15% cooldown reduction and mana loss reduction, Haste rune provides +90/150 movement speed, Invisibility Rune provides invisibility with 4/3s fade time, Regeneration Rune provides 1.8%/3% health and mana regen, Shield Rune provides 15%/25% of max health as barrier, and Illusion Rune spawns 1 illusion with 10.5%/17.5% damage dealt and 300% (ranged) or 200% (melee) increased damage taken.
* Water Rune is not reduced by the 30%/50% rune effect since its value is already so low, restoring the full 40 health and 80 mana to allies instantly.
* The level 10 +8 Armor per Rune Buff talent causes rune buffs on yourself and given to allies with Runeforge to also give +8 Armor for their buff's duration.
* Instead of their normal durations, rune buffs applied by Runeforge are tied to the duration of the barrier, meaning that you can remove the rune buff by damaging the barrier.

E: ANCIENT POWER passive, toggle, magical
Provides an aura to allies in range that causes targeted spells and items to deal a separate instance of bonus damage, also healing Ylldras for the same amount each time the effect procs. When toggled on, provides double the bonus damage but instead Ylldras takes self-damage each time the effect procs.
Aura Radius: 1200
Passive Bonus Spell Damage: 20/40/60/80 (talent: 80/100/120/140)
Self Heal: 20/40/60/80 (talent: 80/100/120/140)
Active Bonus Spell Damage: 40/80/120/160 (talent: 160/200/240/280)
Active Self Damage: 20/40/60/80 (talent: 80/100/120/140)
* Any targeted spell or item can trigger Ancient Power, including the separate instance of damage from Arms of Valhalla attacks.
* Self-damage from procs while toggled on cannot be fatal.

R: ARMS OF VALHALLA ultimate, no target, magical
Enhances the weapons of nearby allies for a number of attacks, causing their attacks to deal bonus damage and increasing their attack speed.

* Works on allied summoned units but not normal creeps or neutrals. Has reduced effect on certain summoned units (spiderlings, serpent wards, zombies, etc)
* Attacks from Arms of Valhalla can trigger wand/on spell effects including Ancient Power, but do not trigger Linken's Sphere/spell block. The bonus damage from Arms of Valhalla acts like a targeted spell, allowing it to trigger Ancient Power, Phylactery, etc.
