Lysander – Eternal Gambit’s Skills
Grandmaster’s Opening
At the start of battle, Lysander immediately casts his Ultimate without spending any Energy, and while casting, Lysander is immune to control effects. All heroesboth enemies and allies-are defined as chess pieces with different functions. Heroes in the front line, the center of the back line, and the sides of the back line are defined as Pawns, Kings, and Rooks, respectively. These chess piece effects do not disappear when Lysander dies. Depending on the chess piece effect of Lysander himself, subsequent uses of his Ultimate will have different effects. When Lysander is deployed to the front line, his normal attacks are melee. From the back line, his normal attacks are ranged.
Lvl 2: Subsequent uses of Lysander’s Ultimate only cost 800 Energy.
Lvl 3: Subsequent uses of Lysander’s Ultimate only cost 600 Energy.
Pawn March
Front line heroes are Pawns: The Attack and Defense of Pawns are reduced by 40%. If a Pawn reaches a certain distance from the enemy’s back line position, it will transform into a Knight, and their Attack and Defense will be increased by 80% instead. When Lysander is a Pawn, his Ultimate stabs at an enemy in front of him, dealing damage equal to 550% of his Attack Rating and knocking them into the air. When Lysander is a Knight, his Ultimate teleports him in front of an enemy hero, prioritizing targeting Kings. He then stabs multiple times, launching 4 strikes that deal damage equal to 280% of his Attack Rating, while the final strike deals damage equal to 620% of his Attack Rating.
Lvl 2: When Lysander is a Pawn or Knight, each strike of damage from his Ultimate permanently reduces the target’s Defense Rating by 8%. This effect can be stacked up to 6 times.
Lvl 3: When Lysander is a Pawn or Knight, each strike of damage from his Ultimate permanently reduces the target’s Defense Rating by 10%. This effect can be stacked up to 6 times.
Lvl 4: When Lysander is a Pawn or Knight, he recovers 500 Energy when his Ultimate kills an enemy hero.
Royal Protection
Heroes in the center of the back line are Kings: Kings inflict 65% less damage and health loss. When a King dies, they inflict AoE health loss equal to 60% of the King’s max health to allies in a large area. When Lysander is a King, his Ultimate grants the 2 allied heroes closest to the enemy’s back line position the “Inspired” effect for 9 seconds, increasing their Energy Recovery Rate and Tenacity by 20 and 50 points, respectively. It also applies a debuff of the same value on the 2 enemy heroes closest to the allied back line position.
Lvl 2: The Inspired effect also increases Dodge by an amount equal to 20% of Lysander’s initial Dodge.
Lvl 3: The Inspired effect also increases Physical Pierce and Magic Pierce by an amount equal to 75% of Lysander’s initial Physical Pierce.
Lvl 4: When an enemy hero suffers health loss from the death of a King, their Energy is cleared and they suffer an extra strike of damage equal to 20% of their lost health, not to exceed 600% of Lysander’s Attack Rating.
Iron Siege
Heroes on the sides of the back line are Rooks: Rooks deal more damage the farther away the enemy is, for a max damage boost of 75%. Upon dealing damage to enemies beyond a certain distance away, the enemy is also knocked back. This knockback effect can be triggered up to 1 times every 2 seconds. However, enemies also deal more damage to Rooks the closer they are, for a max damage boost of 50%. When Lysander is a Rook, his Ultimate deals 5 strikes of damage equal to 450% of his Attack Rating to the enemy farthest from himself.
Lvl 2: When Lysander is a Rook, each strike of damage from his Ultimate also inflicts health loss equal to 5% of the target’s max health, not to exceed 500% of Lysander’s Attack Rating.
Lvl 3: When Lysander is a Rook, each strike of damage from his Ultimate also inflicts health loss equal to 6% of the target’s max health, not to exceed 600% of Lysander’s Attack Rating.
Lvl 4: Every time allied Rooks use their Ultimate, they permanently gain 20 points of Haste and 20 points of Attack Speed. This effect can be stacked up to 5 times.
