Abilities and Stats
In the Story

Bishop is a Mutant Champion. Being a Mutant Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Skill Champions, but is weak to Tech Champions.

Bio[]

The Mutant known as Bishop was born into a bleak alternative future in which the robot Sentinels wiped out most of the X-Men, and Mutants were branded with an "M" over their right eye for identification. After chasing a criminal through a time portal with no means to return to his own timeline, Bishop joined the X-Men.

Mechanics[]

Bishop is a master of Power and Prowess. Fighting opponents who are foolish enough to use energy attacks against you, or from the Skill class, Bishop will gain a massive amount of Prowess. The more Prowess Bishop has, the more powerful his Special Attacks become. Using his new and updated Stead Release Passive on Special 1 will let you melt your opponent with stacking Incinerate Debuffs, or bank them all into a massive Special 2 for some serious damage. Watchout when you run into Bishop in your quests as well, he’s got new abilities to punish pesky Skill Champions shrugging off his Debuffs!

Abilities[]

Persistent Power Meter

  • Bishop’s mastery over energy and time enables him to enter a fight with 100% of the Power he finished his previous fight in the same Quest with.
  • Bishop’s Special Attacks cost no Power when activated. Instead, after the Special ends, Bishop immediately loses however many Bars of Power that special would have cost.

Dev Notes: Bishop’s Special Attacks not costing power anymore means that if you finish a fight with a big Special 2 or Special 1, you’ll carry that power over to the next fight.

Always Active - Personal Prowess

  • All of Bishop’s Personal Passive Prowess effects increase Special Attack Damage by 10%.

Always Active - Energy Transference

  • Every 1 second(s), on receiving any Energy Damage gain 3 Passive Prowess.
  • Absorbing the kinetic energy of Blocking or being Struck generates 1 stack of Prowess, Well Time Blocks gain an additional +6 Prowess.
  • All these abilities grant +2 Prowess vs Skill Opponents, and -1 vs Tech.

Dev Notes:Bringing Bishop into any fights with pesky Skill Champions will let him generate tons of Prowess!

Blocking

  • Holding Block for 0.5 seconds, Bishop converts 1 Personal Prowess into a Regeneration Buff every 0.33 seconds, granting X Health over 5 seconds. Max Stacks: 5.

  • Skill Champions also receive a Passive Stun lasting 1.5 second(s) if the Debuff Purified was a Stun.

Dev Notes: Funny that those silly Skill Champions thought they could escape from Bishop’s debuffs. Make sure no matter what they do, Skill Champions will feel Bishop’s wrath.

Warning: Power Overload!

  • While Bishop has more than 30 Prowess, or if he’s Bleeding, he Overloads and begins consuming his personal Prowess effects 1 at a time, getting faster the longer he’s been Overloading.
  • If Bishop is suffering from a Bleed, Shock, or Incinerate, Debuff or Passive, each time he consumes a Prowess this way he also deals X Energy Damage to his Opponent, scaling with Base Attack.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Energy Damage
    • Bishop loves to fight anyone that tries to get him with Energy Damage, building Prowess and melting the opponent away.
  • Punish Debuff Shrugging
    • Whenever the opponent Shrugs off a Debuff, Bishop will punish them with a burst of damage, careful not to bring Kingpin against Bishop’s new kit!

Weaknesses[]

  • Tech Champs
    • Bishop will not gain Prowess when being struck while fighting Tech Champions, reducing his defensive threat greatly!
  • Power Control
    • Bishop relies heavily on his Special Attacks to get his full potential, cutting off his power will make things much harder for him.

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Double Edge
    • Bishop has a quick and clean way to get rid of Bleed in his kit! Make sure to pick up that extra attack.
  • Recovery
    • Bishop’s Regeneration might not be the biggest in the game, but with Recovery you can help top yourself up even more!
