DAMAGE none

TARGET MODE none

Apex has 300 day and night vision, and she has true sight in this vision range. Every 4 seconds Apex automatically sends out a sonic echo that detects nearby enemies. Highlighting them for her and her team with red orbs that lingers for 1 second. This functions fully versus invisible enemies or those in the fog of war. The radius of the echo is based on her level. Apex gains vision from and grants vision to her team as normal. -Also highlights neutral creep camps and Roshan. -The lingering dot gives no additional information. It only highlights the location of an enemy. -Enemies are not made aware of Echolocation casts, and Echolocation does not break Phase Shift, invisibility, channels, or similar states. -Echolocation does not count as a spell cast.

IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Apex is a melee agility carry hero who provides stuns and large amounts of information. Her innate lets her detect enemies around her in a rather large radius without their knowledge, but at the cost of a massively reduced vision radius. Apex excels at killing lone targets who cannot stand their ground and fight. Enemies who are forced to run won't be able to escape her, getting tracked with Echolocation, chased down with Phase Shift, and being damaged, slowed, and stunned by Neurotoxin. Her weakness is manfighting cores. Enemies who can stand their ground against her will have a large window between the Violence stun and the application of 4 Neurotoxin stacks which they can use to slaughter. She must employ hit and run tactics versus these enemies.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

On a distant world she hunted. Apex of her planet, uncontested. Wild animal, livestock, people, it matters not. All were hunted and devoured. But a clever mage lured her into a trap, sending her far away. Now she terrorizes this world, determined to find her place at the top of the food chain again.
