Design era (2025)
The damage dealers. This is where the fever dream ran hottest. Dozens of concepts, whole mythologies of kits, most of them never seeing a single line of code.

From the notebook · Cassiopeia
I will do it all myself. Give me your HP, give me your momentum, you worthless fools. I am better than you.

From the notebook · Achilles
Sentimental. That is his heel. His actual heel. He loses control the moment someone close to him gets hurt.

The Damage Line, As Written
AAstrapeNew
The lightning archer of the codex. Renamed Electra on 2026-05-02 across the database, the duel and the tutorial.
AArachneNewThe Silent Assassin of the codex; the seed of the Weaver rework a year later. As the codex writes it today: Tactician.
PWeaver
- Any NON-Q action she takes — Rappel (W), Cocoon (E), a relic, or an elixir — refreshes her Q, letting her fire another Spider Strike and go again and again… and again! Q never refreshes itself. (She also has Trick Shot: every 3rd DIFFERENT target her Q strikes stings for ×1.75.)
AAriadneNewAs the codex writes it today: Storm Scatter.
PRed Thread
- The wind carries her PAST the enemy directly across her — every hook she throws lands on one of the OTHER slots, chosen at random. She holds ONE Twin Hooks and TWO Pierces; a Pierce puts the hooks back in her hand. A KILL hands the whole round back — both refilled, however she landed it. The only thing that can reach the enemy in front of her is her ultimate.
AAtalantaNewAs the codex writes it today: Marksman.
PArtemis' Will
- Every shot she fires — Take Aim (Q) or her Precision Shot (E) — has a 25% chance to grant one more Take Aim this turn. It chains with no cap, so a hot streak becomes a volley.
BBellerophonNewAs the codex writes it today: Sky Raider / Tank Killer.
PNothing Held Back
- His ward is ammunition, not armour. Only a LOADED Skypiercer spends it — at DOUBLE value, split across everyone but him. He breaks no enemy shields. Ward cap: half his current HP.
LLyssaNewBerserker DD v3.0: deliberately weak solo, a loaded weapon that needs bleed partners. As the codex writes it today: Berserker DD.
PBloodrage
- Below 50% HP: Q grants 50 Momentum instead of 30.
LLycaonNew
Shelved. As the codex writes it today: Apex Predator DD.
PApex
- Any character dies (ally or enemy): Lycaon feeds on the corpse. Heals 25% max HP. Stacks permanently.
MMedusaNewAs the codex writes it today: Poison Sniper DD.
PSerpent's Gaze
- GAZE: attacking Medusa has a 25% chance per hit (AoE or direct) to poison the attacker (+1 stack); once they are past 10 stacks each hit also deals flat damage back. SERPENTINE: she heals 2% of all Poison damage she deals. Her Poison HARMS enemies, but scattered onto a sister (Stheno/Euryale) it becomes a heal-over-time (other allies shrug it off).
OOrpheusNew
Shelved. As the codex writes it today: Light Archer DD.
PString of Death
- Enemy dies ? +10% crit chance. Ally dies ? +15% random arrow chance. Every crit ? heals lowest ally 40 + 0.3 AP. NICHE: Only pairs with Sphinx.
PPerseusNewAs the codex writes it today: Hybrid Duelist DD.
PContainment
- Banks half of all damage he takes into a stored pool (fuels Mirror's Edge); small chance to reflect a hit.
CCassiopeiaNew
Shelved: "I will do it all myself." As the codex writes it today: Selfish Mage.
PVanity
- 15% chance per round to gain +20 bonus Momentum.
LLeonidasNew
Shelved. As the codex writes it today: Tank Killer / Bleed Spreader.
PSpartan Resolve
- ?-2 Momentum from damage taken. 2% chance to fully block any hit.
AAchillesNew
Shelved: sentimental, that is his heel. As the codex writes it today: Pride-Fuelled Duelist.
PMenos
- Allies taking damage builds Achilles' Momentum (+2 per instance). Any ally death: full Momentum (100) AND E cooldown resets.
AAgamemnonNew
Shelved. As the codex writes it today: Two-Phase Commander.
PFrom the Ashes
- 15% chance per Q1 for extra Flog stack.
MMedeaNew
Shelved. As the codex writes it today: Dark Arcane Mage.
PScorned
- Lower HP = higher AP. 50% HP → 1.3x. 25% → 1.6x. 10% → 2x. Uses Doom (not Momentum). E at 8 Doom.

Full Patch Notes
- The DD roster of the design codex. Fifteen-plus concepts, most still shelved, waiting their turn.
- Every one of these has a passive, a Q, a W, an E, synergy notes, and lore. On paper. This is the madness.
