Khloros Buff

[dry token]

Khloros is completely outclassed in every way by the other dps. He offers literally nothing over the other dps in the game:

• Liliam and friends do WAY more damage if you’re looking for burst
• Hoyan is a way way better dps if you’re looking for extinction to counter revive
• Kokardi and Xiada are infinitely better scaling dps because of their survivability mechanics

That last point is where I think khloros needs a rework / buff. Khloros would be an amazing dps if he had Kokardi or xiada passive. He needs something to synergize with his scaling dps kit.

Here’s a couple quick ideas for survivability mechanics (just throwing some stuff out there):

• Give him Kokardi passive (make him non-targetable)
• Xiada passive-like: For each S3 used, up to 3 stacks, reduces damage taken by 15%
• Khloros starts the match with 66% damage reduction. Each time he takes a turn, reduces this damage reduction by 22%
  Don’t worry about the #s used, just the theme or mechanic.

Lemme know if you have any other ideas to make khloros a usable animus. I’ve spent a week trying to make him work with various builds at 5/5, 1/4/5 investment. He is terrible

When I say he’s bad I mean he’s like REALLY bad

There is literally only 1 use case for Khloros and it’s so specific, and you could win like 20 other ways other than picking Khloros

When he's maxed out or close to it he's a completely insane single target sustained damage dealer but there's no content in the game structured to justify investing in him, which is too bad. He and Rosa are like the only 2 damage dealers in the game who can genuinely use battlewill too, which is neat. Such a cool design locked behind having 0 reason to exist

another suggestion for a khloros buff would be to make him the Amber counter unit. Currently, he gets extremely hard countered by Amber. When it procs, khloros ult debuff gets removed, which is really really bad for khloros. Makes him even more impossible to use than he already is.

So my Amber counter suggestion for khloros is simply to make it so khloros ult does not get removed when Amber procs. If you wanted to take it a step further to REALLY make him an amber counter, you could make it so khloros "extincts" the unit through amber, meaning they'll just die and amber won't proc.

Gl in reaching this to the devs lmao i literally have not seen him outside of etharena and be only got used ONCE (by a human user in their defense) and my borgne oneshotted him

these are the only scenarios I've found him to be useful in: https://medal.tv/games/etheria-restart/clips/lhY0iCzqyNy8Lr89M?invite=cr-MSxFN2UsMjcyMzgzODcy&v=72

you have to ban protect Yang with him, only way to make him work.

I saw an odd khloross cc team where they were using him as a dps to pick off cced units, and honestly it was cool af, it didnt work well because he sux, but i think if they had him fill that sort of role/niche would be awesome

[frozen palm]

I wanted to try using more My Khloros as well.
A idea that i had that could work for buffing him... is everytime he uses his S3... he gets the void state, like the one from Law of Silence... that would get him untargetable, and receive 50% less damage from AoE...

[real talon]

he's a long combat specialist. if only he can cast her s3 again after he kills maybe would be good for pvp

[tall spindle]

I think he could have an HP reduction mechanic on his ult like Liliam. Maybe only 50% of the damage like Liliam did pre buff. It would give him at least some identity in PVP while not changing his PVE performance.

Maybe even his whole kit could block 50% HP and I think it would be balanced.

[high kiln]

I love khloros. It’s almost a free win to bet against him in champions call event

[dry token]

that's the issue. He has nothing in his kit that helps him survive in longer combats.

So his kit ends up making no sense for PvP. He needs the Xiada buff treatment asap

[errant kernel]

They should just make his s2 a passive that reduces dmg against him and that would make him use his s1 more which reduces the cd of the s3 with this he would perform

[dawn raptor]

True

...just change the guy s2 into passive on the target that he give death toll

[real talon]

I mean long combat pve like cage or union boss
