D'rer the Trickster

D'rer the Trickster

D'rer the Trickster is a radiant melee agility hero specializing in restricting and confusing information to enemies, mainly via the "fake damage/health" mechanic. His spells has the added effect of inflicting mental crowd control by making enemies oblivious to their actual health, either intimidating them with fake damage taken from Ether Flare, or overconfident in killing a seemingly low-health D'rer with a much higher actual health owing to Feign. Brume completely veils information on every hero to enemies, confusing them tremendously.

While enemies see fake health indistinguishable to normal health, allies see a purple bar in place of health which enemies cannot see.

This hero is so good... I cant believe it.

My only complaints are with his ultimate and horcrux. It is ridiculously overpowered to have team non-breakable invisiblility with no indication of where they are for 10 seconds. I would recommend that heroes lose the buff once they attack or cast a spell, and increase the cooldown by 50.

With Horcrux it just seems like its there to be there. I don't think it adds much to the hero or to the game; it can't be used in conjunction with other spells at all, and so it just exists.

Mirages damage should be 100/175/250/325. I also personally feel it should be pure.

My apologies, my wording was quite misleading for the ulti. Theyre not actually invisible. You can still target them like normal, but their model is replaced with a shroud of mist. Basically you can see, attack and target veiled enemies, but you dont know who youre targetting.

And yeah you got me on Horcrux, it was there just for the theme of a trickster. Tbh I needed an ability which lets drer scale with items and it was 2 am so yeah. Hopefully an idea pops up to solve this. Or i could make him an intelligence hero instead

Again, 2 am. Completely forgot to add scaling damage for mirage. Grateful for the heads up!
