REQUIREMENTS: 5,000 candy corn ( or whatever price Malice was last year )
The scarecrow ability is based on deceiving your opponents and striking when most vulnerable with strong attacks.
E: “ Malicious Shrub “
Cue a pointing animation, followed by an onslaught of branches that sprout from the ground, following the mouse cursor for 2 seconds, dealing 30 damage until shriveling up into dust.
Your ability to jump is disabled and you are heavily slowed to 9 walkspeed in the duration of the attack.
CD: 18 seconds
Q: “ Incarnation “
Screech with an eerie tone, inflicting Fear in a 10 stud radius, before sprouting a dark pair of wings and lifting away, with their momentum being controlled by the user’s camera.
The user’s flight lasts 4 seconds, traveling at 6 studs/second, and can either dip down to accelerate to 10 studs/second to quickly land onto the ground, or face forward to glide smoothly at 5 studs/second, losing speed and lowering altitude as they approach the 4 second mark.
CD: 20 seconds
SPECIAL MECHANIC: “ Fear “
Inflicting Fear on an opponent will cause their screen to fade black, only leaving around a 6/7 stud radius around their character to see, until fading into a gradient of slightly transparent black.
Their screen pulsates a red vignette and hallucinates many copies of your character hung up into a T-pose, until fading away when approaching a 5 stud radius.
The effect lasts 4 seconds, and can be prolonged by another 4 seconds by landing the E attack, initiating it’s second stage, increasing your opponent’s speed to 20 walkspeed, and intensifying all effects of the Fear effect.
NOTE: This ability is a recommendation of an ability that could be released on the Halloween update, IF it comes with candy corn.
( please give suggestions on alternative ideas of the Fear effect and its triggers, along with balancing the E and Q moves. )
