Hero Spotlight: Enigma

LORE

Rumor has it that Enigma was a normal human once…. trying his best to survive in the world after day Zero. Having lost everyone he cared about, only his survival continued to matter. Before long, he joined a bandit group of like-minded survivalists, without any pesky morals to hold them back from doing what was necessary.

One day the bandits’ scouts got wind of a rumor. There was a new discovery, an extremely powerful element called “Purified Heronium” and a hefty batch of it would be transported not far from their location. Not wanting to miss an opportunity, they devised a plan to intercept the patrol and take the loot for themselves.
When the time came, they attacked the patrol, and their heist went about as well as they had expected. After securing the container, while checking the loot Enigma was enthralled by the Heronium and stashed some of it for himself without anyone else noticing.
Everything was going to plan… until reinforcements of the patrol showed up. The battle that followed was bloody as they were caught by surprise by an unexpectedly vicious force. Unwilling to suffer major losses, the bandit leader ordered them to abandon the loot and retreat to their hideout.
Unaware of who they were dealing with, the reinforcements gave chase, likely having discovered that some Heronium was taken. While running for their lives, the Bandits stumbled upon an unsuspecting group of survivors in the woods.

The Bandit leader hatched a new plan and ordered the culling of the survivors. He wanted to make it look like they were his bandits, and that there was infighting within the group so it would look like they hadn’t been the ones behind the heist.
After the dust settled, Enigma decided to plant part of the Heronium he stole on one survivor who was on death’s door, in the hopes that this would make their pursuits stop chasing them.

As they were no longer being pursued following this deception, he thought he’d gotten away with it. However, once they got into the hideout, a purple hue emanated from Enigma’s backpack. A few moments after being noticed, an explosion occurred with Enigma at the epicenter.
Concussed and disoriented, the surviving bandits looked toward where Enigma had stood, and instead, they saw a figure malformed by purple flames. His whole body was scorched, radiating a purple hue but still somehow alive.
As he was visibly injured, some went over to try and offer him medical assistance. Their good intentions were rewarded by being grabbed and having life force drained out of them, with Enigma’s vitality being restored in the process. Panicked, the bandits started shooting at their former partner in crime, yet each inflicted bullet wound was quickly closed, and it was them who were dropping dead… Only one bandit was able to run away and survive this encounter, spreading the tale far and wide.

Enigma soon felt his newfound powers were a blessing and a curse. Every waking moment he felt agonizing pain, with relief only coming when he drained the life energy of others. Discovering some corrupted heronium in the debris caused by the explosion, he incorporated it into a new armor design that both partially numbed the agony he felt, while at the same time hid his deformities. Then he acquainted himself with KLG, the only faction that he felt might welcome a monster like him. Now known by the callsign “Enigma”, he satiates his hunger and prolongs his agonizing existence by draining his foes in the field of battle.

Faction: KLG Irregulars

Element: Void

Enigma is the newest 5* Hero to join the battle.

A powerful and mysterious entity that uses the power of the void to steal life energy from his enemies and transfer them toward his allies.

Curse of the void

2.2

Bronze Skill - Active Ability

Enigma unleashes an area attack. Targets caught in the attack are inflicted with [Curse of the void] which causes them to receive elemental damage per second and reduce the percentage of all healing effects applied to them for duration of seconds.
The damage done by [Curse of the void] heals all Enigma allies for a percentage of the damage caused each damage tick.

If the same enemy is hit with this ability again before [Curse of the void] expires, they cause a void explosion around them that does damage to them and everyone in close proximity and refreshes [Curse of the void].

Vampiric Wrath

3.3

Silver Skill - Active Ability

Marks an enemy on the battlefield, afflicting them with [Soul Drain] for a duration of seconds. [Soul Drain] causes a percentage of the damage inflicted via weapons to the marked enemy to be reflected back as a heal to the heroes that caused the damage.

If the afflicted enemy dies during the duration of this ability, all Enigma allies receive a big amount heal.

Mark of Decay

4.4

Gold Skill - Passive Ability

Each time an enemy is affected by Enigma’s abilities, they are marked with a [Mark of Decay] stacks.

  1. At 2 stacks, the enemy will receive elemental damage.
  2. At 4 stacks, the enemy and everyone in their close proximity will suffer elemental damage and be inflicted by [AGONY] for a duration of seconds, which decreases their rate of fire, reload speed and movement speed by a percentage.
  3. At 8 stacks, the enemy is inflicted with [DOOM], which causes a huge amount of damage per second for a duration of seconds. All stacks are reset after the [DOOM] duration expires.

Any damage to the targeted enemy caused by this skill heals all Enigma allies for a percentage of the damage done by this ability.

Life Leech

5.5

Platinum Skill - Passive Ability

Percentage of all damage done by Enigma is transferred as a heal to all allies of Enigma, including him.

If Enigma’s target has an active Mark of Decay on them, Enigma does additional Elemental damage to them per shot.

Initiator

1.1

Ruby Skill - Passive Ability

This hero is invincible for the first few seconds of the game and receives 50% attack speed.

How can I get Enigma?

Okay I just read the first two abilities which are absolutely dope, and I wanna say, it feels like my mind has been read, I have been thinking about making a hero that drains health up and recovers from his wounds and heals himself via his abilities, this is soooo cool,

Edit; When I’m done with everything for the day ima see if I can put together my concept I had and show how similar I thought their abilities were :wink:

Just a quick question; his ruby ability icon has the her “Magnus’s” face on it, would it later be redesigned to include this new hero along with magnus?

Awesome (but imbalance) skills and boring generic backstory. Seriously, this is just another person with sad past who become living monster after contact with heronium. Revenant, Keir, Slurp, Cyphon, Pariah, Callidius, etc. I really miss something interesting like this was with Panzer (including video with her story also discovered back of Steele and UAF Airborne), Luciana, Icebox, MK2 (with all forums events), Ursus, Dreadnought… Each of this heroes have something unique and put in action by their wish or direct will, not like victims. This is really cool!

To be honest I some wat disappointed another hero that we can’t use universal frags on I realize that we getting a lot of void and astral heroes and no way to add stars to them

Hopefully the devs will listen to us and add some way for us to add stars to your ur heros…

Character designs are definitely improving. I’m looking forward to this one. Please start making astral and void fragments available so we can upgrade these guys!!!
