Hero Lore:

From universes far away, war is a way of life. Scaling from small village skirmishes to planet jumping guerillas, this particular set of universes eternally burn in embers of rage. From these embers and ashes rise forth renowned heroes of glory and might, traitors and martyrs alike. When most of the battles are fought by blade, steel and magic, no one would expect a bard to be among the Celestial Legendaries. One such person is the enigmatic human named Lyra Braver. Not much is known of her background, but many remembered her first appearance and rise to fame when she fought in the second Primordial Intercession. This event made clear about the unknown horrors outside their mortal understanding of existence, as the creators whose blood made full skies of stars waged war against the dark ones lurking underneath the void.

One by one, stars disappear in the blackened sky as celestial blood spills forth a vibrant nebula, only to be slowly consumed by this great attractor of matter. The mortal races of every world fought beside their gods in an uphill battle for survival, only to be chipped away slowly from the light. And the Sonals, grand beings made of extra-physical sound, behold a small human to be their champion. However, such actions triggered unpleasant history between pantheons. For the Celestials were envious of the Sonals' contributions, that they banished their elders straight into the fractal prisons of Chaos upon hearing this. Before the champion met the same fate, creatures from the void took hold of core worlds and the Celestials' attention instead directed at them to attempt saving their respective races.

It seems the void also had their own champion of oblivion, who fought the Celestials with horrifying pace. Even with their full efforts, these great heroes of the stars fell one by one at the mercy of enveloping darkness. But before all hope is lost, a powerful nova of sonic vibrations roar towards the dark ones, and pushed them back into the starless skies. As the Celestials regained their composure, one of them head out to the source of the nova, only to find a human female clad in ebony metal armor holding a violin. They grew silent upon realizing their hubris. And Lyra, noticing their silence, demanded her caretakers to be released from Chaos. However, one of the bewildered Celestials mentioned that there are hells to pay, just to release even one from the fractal prisons. Furious, she left their presence without a word.

With great yoke to bear, she seeks the aid of the Divided One, which she remembers was formerly imprisoned in sphere of rock.

Introduction:

Lyra Braver is an Intelligence caster hero highly effective against multiple enemies. With her Fatal Sonata, she curses her enemies with a delayed nuke which increases in power when they hear the full duration of her song. Reverb curses enemies to explode damage projectiles when taking damage. Play Tempo can be toggled to aid allies or weaken foes by producing shockwaves that affect their movespeed and attack speed, which stacks and upon the 4th wave, would apply a powerful boon or bane to affected units. Lastly, her ultimate Stellar Bass produces a global shockwave that blows back everyone away, except her allies. It also applies a random effect on each unit struck by the shockwave.

Her good early stats makes her a pain to lane against and with decently-sized and effective AoE abilities on her skillset, she heavily punishes gankers' mistakes when they are inside range. Makes her a good pick to counter dive team compositions.
