Galanius, the true Emperor of the Bronze Legion, Ruler of Stonehall, is a melee strength hero who's skillset is much, much more potent if he has allies who can bask in what his abilities can provide, like any true tyrants should! And even without allies? He'll just go "Fine! I'll do it myself!"

Golden Arrow is a long range, single-target disable whose stun can amplify all his team's damage. Stonehall Decree is an activatable aura that increases attack damage and armor of allies but only if they face their enemies, cowards doesn't deserve his gifts. Galanius' Tyrannical Blow is an active attack modifier that applies a crit and frenzied taunt to his opponent. He then uses this fit of rage to return incoming attacks. While it would usually be considered dishonorable, he's here to win the war not make petty moral compliments!

As the true authority of the Stonehall Legionnaires, The Bronze Champions calls to arm 2 powerful Stonehall Champions to grant him the extra forces he needs! Affected by his aura, his team of elite heroes and champions suddenly becomes a deadly horde when under the command of the true Bronze Emperor!

If you noticed, all of his basic abilities keep on amplifying one another, 2 of which can even amplifies allies. But he himself can still bring some respectable damage if given farm priority. This results in great versatility, able to work as a pos 2 'Golden Obliterator' (right talents; Golden Arrow → Blink Dagger → Tyrannical Blow) and up to a pos 3-4 Durable Pusher (left talents; Any utility item, probably Vladmir's Offering → Pipe of Insight).

[Q] Golden Arrow After a long cast point, Galanius fires from his set of legendary arrows. Damages and stuns a single target, while making it take more damage from all sources for the duration. ABILITY DAMAGE TYPE PIERCES IMMUNITY? CAST POINT CAST RANGE : TARGET ENEMY UNIT : MAGICAL : NO : 1.8 + 0.5 : 1400 Stun Duration Damage Amplification Damage MANA COOLDOWN : 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 2.0 (2.4 / 2.6 / 2.8 / 3.025) : 10% / 20% / 30% / 40% : 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 : 180 : 14 (1210) The emperor can wield many weapons... many, legendary weapons.

NOTES / ADVANCED COMMENTS: Golden Arrow – Dispellable (strong) Motion Buffer Range: 500 (meaning the spell will not cancel when the target moves out of cast range during cast point) Projectile Speed: 2000 Applies the debuff, and then the damage. This means it deals an actual damage of 110 / 180 / 260 / 350 on hit.

[W] Stonehall Decree Galanius declares a proclamation. Allies surrounding him gain increased attack damage and armor but only if they're facing non-neutral threats. ABILITY AURA RADIUS : NO TARGET / AURA : 1200 Attack Damage Armor 20Self Multiplier Facing Angle Facing Distance Duration MANA COOLDOWN : 10% / 16% / 22% / 28% : 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 : 2x : 140° : 800 : 15 : 60 : 30 While his Bullsnake banner and vesture has some real entrancing properties, noone can bring it to the same level as when the very emperor raises it himself.

NOTES / ADVANCED COMMENTS: Stonehall Decree - UNDISPELLABLE AURA "non-neutral threats" just means enemies that are not neutral creeps. For reference, Mars' God's Rebuke is 140°, 500 distance. Only increases base damage and that given by primary attribute. Raw bonus damage is not increased.

[E] Tyrannical Blow Galanius' attack deals a disparaging blow, dealing critical damage and fully taunting the enemy to attack him. Galanius takes this to his advantage, gaining damage return for the same duration. ABILITY PIERCES IMMUNITY? CAST RANGE : TARGET UNIT / AUTO-CAST : YES : 150 Critical Taunt Duration Damage Return 15Bonus Armor MANA COOLDOWN : 120% / 150% / 180% / 210% (180% / 210% / 240% / 270%20) : 1.1 / 1.4 / 1.7 / 2.0 : 100% : 12 : 40 : 15 / 12 / 9 / 6 Galanius takes advantage of everyone's hate and rage. A taunted opponent is a dead opponent.

NOTES / ADVANCED COMMENTS: Taunted — Dispellable (strong) This attack can miss. If it missed / evaded, it will not use mana nor be put on cooldown.

[R] The Bronze Champions Galanius calls upon his elite royal guards! Summons 2 melee Stonehall Champions. They'll keep casting a shield to Galanius that absorbs physical attack damage. ABILITY CAST POINT : NO TARGET : 0.6 + 0 Number of Champions Summon Duration Champions HP Champions Armor Champions AtkDmg MANA COOLDOWN : 2 (3) : 60 : 800 / 1200 / 1600 : 4 / 6 / 8 : 50 / 80 / 110 : 200 / 275 / 350 : 170 (12025) Galanius sounds the horn to summon the most elite Stonehall caste into war!

NOTES / ADVANCED COMMENTS: Re-casting will replace any active Bronze Champions from the previous cast. The Champions are summoned 200 range in front on Galanius, lined perpendicularly, with 120 range distance between. Galanius is always at the center of the formation.

NOTES / ADVANCED COMMENTS: Honor Guard Shield — Dispellable Absorbs raw damage before all reductions. Can be cast without having to face towards Galanius. Successive re-casts by the same Stonehall Champion does not stack. Only refreshes the duration and shield health. However, shields from multiple Stonehall Champions does stack. The oldest shield buff will always absorb / reflect damage first. AUTO-CAST RULES: If the 'owner hero' does not have an Honor Guard shield previously applied by this particular caster, the caster will always try to cast this spell to the 'owner hero' whenever it's off cooldown. (Can apply to Rubick and Ability Draft)
