Xeon The Last Exorcist (Daredevil/Counter Type Carry)

Xeon The Last Exorcist

I created the concept for this hero quite a long time ago actually, this was one of the first hero concepts I created. I came up with this hero because I was thinking that Windrun is just too underestimated, I mean it can evade all physical damage for 5.5 seconds and grants max movement speed! It's like one of the greatest skill ever!

Because of that, I tried to come up with this hero idea. This hero is meant to play like Axe, however he is range and quite squishy. It's impossible to play this guy like axe, you say? No! His ultimate skill combined with his Premonition skill at both max lvl will have 80% chance to evade all physical damage and 50% chance to block magical damage.

He plays like Axe Because he has something pretty much similar to Counter Helix. Premonition allows him to have a slight chance to counter any damage with his FIRST and SECOND SKILL, according to their respective level. Meaning that it wouldn't counter if no skill is there (like Bristleback.

So, yeah. That's how this guy came to, and in teamfight he would act as a daredevil carry that sponges some attacks from enemies who hope to finish him off quickly, but you know what? He won't.

Lore: In Violet Plateau shadows lurk. In Violet Plateau many demons found their prey. In Violet Plateau now stands a man. A man wrapped in white. A man holding a pair of guns. He aimed his guns to a shadow. The shadow turns, showing a nasty grin of a demon, baring his teeth full of blood. Bang! A silver bullet went straight through the demon's head, completely reducing it to ash. Shrieks and roars are heard, a horde of demons charged to avenge their kin. Xeon close his eye. "Deus venia animum." And with the words he spoke, he opened his eyes, charging inside the charge of demonic horde. Bang! Bang! Bang! Silver bullets sprayed across every direction whilst Xeon evade every attempt to hurt him. The hordes increase, and increase, and increase. Until all that's left is Xeon, standing on a pile of ash.

The last of his kin, Xeon was an unknown kind of high elf from the deep of Radiant's jungle. Some said he is a wanderer, some said he is a prophet, but one thing everybody seems to know about him is that he has gone from vilest dungeons to the nests of great demons and come back in one piece, leaving nothing but ash. Nobody seems to know about Xeon's lineage or bloodline. No one knows who Xeon really is. Everybody does knows about one thing; the threat of his skills, that the name Xeon has always been a fright to The Dire for more than hundreds of years.

Now Xeon walks through the ruins left by the demons. In Violet Plateau, many unknown relics and scientific discoveries by the tinkers are left. He fixed his gaze upon several thin crystals, he heard them resonating to him. He walked to the crystals, and he took it. "Who... are you?" a dying sound of an old tinker left for dead by the demons are targeted to Xeon. "Those Life Relics... They chose you... Who... are you?" once again, the dying tinker asked with his dying breath.

"I am Xeon. I am the Last Exorcist"

And with those words, the old tinker closed his eye, seemingly peaceful. Xeon walked away whilst holding his hat down, a sign of condolences and farewell.

"Deus venia animum."

"Deus venia animum"

I like this hero concept, he can basically deal a lot of damage and cripple enemies so much that they have to focus him, and that is when he strikes back.


Just one balance suggestion. Give Silver Bullet a 1 second channel and make the bonus experience constant for all levels. Since the cooldown decreases upon leveling, he can basically use it more, thereby getting him more experience anyway. Giving it a channel time makes it a little bit of a "skill shot" per se, because he has to predict his spell such that it lands when the creep is low enough on health after 1 second.



Keep up the good work :D

Thank you, Porygon, much appreciated :D

Thx for the suggestion, I suppose that makes more sense, eh? Alright then, edited. Now it needs 1 second cast time (except in counter) and gives 10% bonus exp per kill.
