Chee'ilth

Chee'ilth is a Skill Champion. Being a Skill Champion, she has a Class Bonus against Science Champions, but is weak to Mutant Champions.

Bio[]

When a nearby experimental gamma reactor went into meltdown, Gail Williams made the impossible choice to dive into the flaming wreckage and save her abusive foster father. In doing so, she showed her compassion, courage and fortitude and became the champion of two Divine Spirits, Brother Grizzly and Sister Eagle. The two spirits bestowed upon her their might, knowledge and healing gifts. Now she works to save those in need, even the gamma mutates cursed by The One Below All, as the hero Chee’ilth!

Mechanics[]

Chee’ilth keeps her fighting simple, powerful and effective. Sister Eagle provides additional protections during a well-timed block, and Brother Grizzly rewards aggressive use of Heavy Attacks. Her Cleanse and Tranquilize keep her safe from enemy Debuff effects while her damage output steadily builds during the fight.

Abilities[]

Oppose The One Below All

While fighting #Gamma Opponent’s, Chee’ilth’s personal Debuffs gain 40% potency and her Synergy Bonuses gain special [Gamma] enhancements.

Dev Notes: #Gamma is a new tag being introduced in 41.3. It refers to the Heroes and Villains of the Marvel universe who draw their power from gamma radiation, such as Hulk, Abomination, and even Sasquatch.

Personal Debuffs

As an Attacker, personal Debuffs gain 30% duration.
As a Defender, personal Debuffs can be inflicted through Block.

Dev Notes: Keep an eye on Chee’ilth’s Debuffs on Defense, otherwise you’ll find yourself taking a lot of chip damage from her Bleed Debuffs being inflicted through Block.

Spirit Charges

Every 20 seconds, Sister Eagle and Brother Grizzly bestow an indefinite Spirit Charge on Chee’ilth. As a Defender, this timer becomes 10 seconds.
When this timer expires, as well as at the start of each fight, Sister Eagle grants 2 indefinite Cleanse Passives. Max: 10.
Brother Grizzly grants +143.6 Critical Damage Rating and +15% Bleed potency per Spirit Charge.

Dev Notes: The Cleanse gained at the start of the fight cannot clear away any Debuffs that are also gained at the same time, such as Liquid Courage or Double Edge.

Sister Eagle the Healer

While Blocking the Opponent’s attacks, their Attack Rating is capped at 100% of what it was at the start of the fight.
Well-Timed Blocks reduce this Attack Rating cap to 50%. Each Well-Timed Block also shortens the Spirit Charge timer by 5 seconds.

Dev Notes: This effect means that no matter how much Attack Rating the Opponent has gained throughout the fight, Chee’ilth will always block for the same amount of damage. Keep in mind that this only accounts for Attack Rating gained after the fight has started, so Buff Nodes, Boosts and Mastery Bonuses will still increase the amount of damage the opponent can deal.

Brother Grizzly the Warrior

Chee’ilth’s Bleed Debuffs deal 2162.48 Direct Damage over 9 seconds.
Striking the Opponent with the Adze Axe inflicts a Bleed Debuff.
Brother Grizzly shortens the Spirit Charge timer by 7 seconds each time Chee’ilth Punishes a Heavy Attack or Special Attack.

Dev Notes: Chee’ilth uses her Adze Axe during her Medium Attacks, Heavy Attack, and Special Attacks.

Heavy Attacks

Punishing a Heavy Attack or Special Attack pauses all personal Debuffs on the Opponent for 5 seconds.
The final hit of this attack inflicts 2 additional Bleed Debuffs.

Dev Notes: The first hit of this attack covers a lot of distance, allowing Chee’ilth to weave Heavy Attacks into the fight more smoothly.

Signature Ability[]

χɛmamɛn (Claw of the Bear)

Brother Grizzly extends his wisdom, granting a Precision Passive each time the Opponent is Immune to a Bleed effect, increasing Critical Rating by 1211.54 for 10 seconds. While Chee’ilth has at least one of these Precision Passives, they can land Critical Hits through Block.
Sister Eagle also provides new assistance, instantly healing 90% of all damage dealt to Chee’ilth by Physical Damage effects.

Dev Notes: To gain the Precision Passive, the opponent has to avoid a Bleed effect entirely. This means that Purifying or removing the Bleed after it activates will not grant a Precision Passive.

Physical Damage effects refers to Physical Damage from abilities like Rupture or bursts of Physical Damage caused by Champions like Red Hulk. It does not count Physical Damage from attacks.

Special Attacks[]

Special Attack 1 – ts7as lhláku7 ku st̓alhálem (There’s a Grizzly Coming)

On activation, gain a Grizzly’s Grit Passive for 16 seconds which counts as a Grit Passive. While Grizzly’s Grit is active, all attacks gain a 50% chance to inflict a Bleed Debuff.

Dev Notes: Grit is a new ability that allows your attacks to strike Unstoppable Opponent’s as if they weren’t Unstoppable. Grizzly’s Grit also grants all attacks a chance to inflict Bleed, meaning Adze Axe Attacks can inflict multiple Bleeds in a single strike.

Special Attack 2 – wa7 saq̓w ti pqúsa (The Eagle Soars)

The final hit inflicts a non-stacking Eagle’s Tranquilize Debuff for 12 seconds which counts as a 50% Tranquilize Debuff. While Eagle’s Tranquilize is active, Chee’ilth cannot Miss. Each time a Debuff or Miss is prevented, pause Eagle’s Tranquilize for 3 seconds.

Dev Notes: Eagle’s Tranquilize prevents Miss from activating entirely, and reduces the Opponent’s Debuff Ability Accuracy by 50%. With the effect being paused for 3 seconds each time one of these two effects are prevented, Chee’ilth is very capable of keeping Eagle’s Tranquilize active during match-ups with a lot of Miss or Debuff abilities. Eagle’s Tranquilize can also be used to build up Cleanse Charges in Debuff heavy fights.

Special Attack 3 – nəpštəwmɛtuwum qʷal (They Come to War)

This attack can only be used once per fight.
Gain an indefinite 35% Vicious Passive.
Gain a 15 second Regeneration Buff, healing 50% of Health lost this fight or 30% of missing Health, whichever is greater.

Dev Notes: Choosing the right time to launch a Special 3 is very important to Chee’ilth. Launching it early grants her a 35% increase to her Bleed Damage while using it later can be very helpful in shoring up any chip damage that may have slipped past her block.

Synergy Bonuses[]

Synergy	Partner(s)	Effect(s)
First on the Scene		All champions except Chee'ilth: Regeneration Buffs and Passives gain 5% increased potency. Unique Synergy: Does not stack with duplicate synergies. Dev Notes: This increased regeneration potency does not affect some healing effects like Willpower and Salve.
Family		All Champions: Gain +4 / 5 / 6% Health. Unique Synergy: Does not stack with duplicate synergies.
If You Don’t Talk, You Won’t Know Them		Chee'ilth: Sister Eagle grants 3 additional Cleanse Passives at the start of each fight. Gamma: Gain 8 Cleanse Passives instead. Synergy Champions: Gain +8 Health. Unique Synergy: Does not stack with duplicate synergies. Dev Notes: Gamma Bonuses are active when you have the synergy bonus active and fight against a #Gamma Opponent. This Gamma bonus allows you to start with the max of 10 Cleanse Charges instead of 2.
What You Don’t Know, You’ll Fear		Chee'ilth: When Blocking a Heavy Attack, become Passively Unstoppable for 3 seconds. Synergy Champions: +8% Attack Rating. Unique Synergy: Does not stack with duplicate synergies. Dev Notes: Keep in mind that this doesn’t count as a Resisted attack, meaning you will still take some chip damage. If you utilize this ability a lot, you may need to save your Special Attack 3 for the end of the fight to top up your health.
What You Fear, You’ll Destroy		Chee'ilth: When struck while performing a Heavy Attack, become Passively Unstoppable for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 45 seconds. Gamma: Cooldown becomes 5 seconds. Synergy Champions: Personal damaging effects gain 15% increased potency. Unique Synergy: Does not stack with duplicate synergies. Dev Notes: This is a really nice mulligan that can prevent you from taking a long combo of hits if you’re off timing with your Heavy Attacks. The increase on Damage effects increases the amount of damage dealt with abilities like Bleed, Poison, or Red Hulk’s Physical Damage bursts.

Incoming synergies to be added

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

Super-Powered Block
- Thanks to Sister Eagle, Chee’ilth’s block is enhanced to cap the opponent’s attack rating. This means that any attack rating increases that activate after the start of the fight will not be usable when striking into Chee’ilth’s block. Important note: Attack rating increases that occur from the start of the fight, such as Buff nodes and boosts, will not be capped by this ability.
Heavy Countering
- Chee’ilth’s Heavy Attack has a long reach, and has two hits. She also inflicts multiple Bleed Debuffs when she strikes with it. This makes her well suited to baiting out an opponent’s Heavy Attack with her powerful block ability in order to dash back and counter with your own Heavy Attack! Great for fights when you can’t Parry Stun.
Debuff Resistance
- Chee’ilth gains Cleanse Passives consistently throughout the fight and can gain them more quickly by practicing key strategies like Well-Timed Block and Heavy Punishing. This, combined with her Sister Eagle’s Tranquilize, can make her nearly immune to Debuffs, especially in the right match-up!

Weaknesses[]

Prowess
- While Chee’ilth can cap the opponent’s attack rating during a Block, she has no ability to cap other modifiers like Special Attack damage bonuses from Prowess. Keep this in mind when facing down a powerful Mutant Special Attack loaded up with Prowess effects.
Bleed Removal
- While Chee’ilth has an ability to help her deal with full Bleed Immunity, she doesn’t have any meaningful way to deal with opponents that rapidly Cleanse or remove their Bleed Debuffs shortly after they are applied. She also applies a lot of Bleed Debuffs, so opponent’s who punish the activation of these effects will overpower Chee’ilith in their match-up.
Energy Damage
- Chee’ilth has many powerful defenses, but lacks any way to assist with Energy Damage, unless it takes the form of a Debuff. Bursts of Energy Damage, as well as Passive Shock and Incinerate effects will be difficult to deal with.
