God Reveal – Thoth (Egypt)
Thoth is Ra’s right hand man, who rescue’s Ra’s crazy daughter. He gets promoted to Ra’s advisor in the underworld, where he sits to evaluate souls. His book has the power to make someone the most powerful magician in the world, but mortals can’t handle it.
Position: Long Distance Spell Caster. High range, low CC.
Passive: Builds stacks for getting kills (learning enemy’s weaknesses). At 30 kills, he gets a stack of 4 magical penetration. Every 4 levels he unlocks a new chapter to gain a new stack. 20 total magical penetration max. (Can gain stacks even from jungle mobs.)
- Replaces Thoth’s basic attack. Fires 3 AoE shots. No timer. Doesn’t go on cooldown until you fire all 3, allowing you to hold shots until you need them. Based on ability, not auto-attack.
- Evade and Punish: 8 direction dodge, followed by special auto attack that penetrates targets and slows.
- Glyph of Pain: Abilities fired through it get extended range. Includes extension of dash range. Any attacks that go through this from Thoth or his teammates will gain power.
- Final Judgement: Long range slow charge attack that doesn’t go on cooldown until it’s fired. Can be cancelled before full timer is reached. Can extend range with Glyph of Pain. No CC immunity so can be stunned out of it. Can go through walls. Can fire early for less total damage (each filled orb adds to power).
