HCC Entry: Apophis Warden of Foulfell and Keeper of the Shards

Apophis The FoulFell Warden And Keeper Of the Shards

Hero Intro

Apophis is a hero I had an idea for when reading Terrorblade's lore.I considered making him based on Slarks Lore as the Warden Of Dark Reef but I feel that there are already too many fishy heroes out and about. Foulfell is a dimension that serves as a prison to the demons and devils of hell. Terror blade managed to break out of here after a period of time in which he gained power through self reflection. Apophis is a hero based on the concept that Foulfell has a Warden and that he is now out hunting, but he is not only hunting Terrorblade but also hunting potential baddies to lock up in Foulfell. In addition to being the Warden of Foulfell he also serves a Keeper of the Shards, by this I make reference to the Foulfell shards that have Demons trapped within them, The shards in my concept serve as a source of immense power as only the worst and strongest of the demons are trapped within a shard.

Gameplay

His main role is as a position 1 carry, *YAAAAY another OP Carry, Thanks IceFrog...ahem...I mean TIN Man*, but he can be played as a Position 2, 3 or even 4. He is an extremely versatile, mobile Hero. He is tanky as hell(Joke Intended). I considered making him a Ranged hero but I felt for his skills he needed to be a melee hero as he's attitude is all up in your face, also as a strenght hero he shoiuld by default be a melee hero, I mean cmon ranged Strenght Hero? Weak dude.

When played as a position 1 or 2 his main role is to deal damage in team fights whilst acting as a tank. With his skills he is able to buff teammates to a certain extent but because of his limited mana pool he isnt good at it when played in this role. He is able to do incredible damage with items like BattleFury as his right click damage is insane, as well as him having a good level of attack speed. Battlefury is also very important on him to speed up his farm as he cant effectively farm with his skills due to them having a pretty hefty mana price. But farming is sustainable without items due to his Blood of The Apostate ability as he can jungle for long periods of time with no sustain.

When played as a position 3 his main role is to initiate team fights using Hells Congregation whilst acting as a tank. He isn't really required to deal damage in this role in as much as he is able to take it. Being played in this role he is able to dish out his disables and buffs to greater effect as he will have slots available for supporting items that benefit the team, ie Vlads, Shivas Guard etc. With His Balmosgus Summon he is good at scouting out enemies and it gives him the ability deal damage in more than one place at a time as well as enhancing his pressence in team fights with the the abilities Blamozgus has.

Played as a position 4 or 5 his main role is too buff the team and preform saves. He is underwhelming in these roles as he requires large amounts of mana to perform effectively. But due to his great health gain and moderate armour gain as well as a significant damamge gain he always reamins a viable option for a tanky harassing support. In this Role Balmozgus would serve as the a good damage dealer and as in the above Psition 3 perform the duties of scouting and such.

Lore

Eons.
Eons before Satan was cast from Heaven another lesser known Angel fell.
When God created the universe he Made 7 dimensions through which his creation was spread and for his strongest angel Apophis he gave The Mercurial plane to rule over.
But the power over a dimension corrupted Apophis and made him lust to control all dimensions. In his bid to gain more power he conducted vile sacrifces and forbidden rites corrupting the very essence of The Mercurial Plane and Unleashing Violent Powers. With his new power and blinded by the lust to rule over all he saught to take the throne of God and was punished. God cast him To the lowest Plane in Exixtence, The Foulfell where the worst of the Universe were Imprisoned, and here he was made to serve as Warden to the most despicable beings in exixtence for all eternity.
But Eons have passed and Eternity has aged. And seeking the Seeking the Reflected One he now walks The Terrene Plane.
