"Your champions are strong, Summoner. I am strong too. But I possess the heart of a lion! Can your pathetic champions say the same?"
—Colossus[src]

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

Bio[]

Piotr "Peter" Rasputin was the child of Russian farmers, born with big shoulders and strong spirit. When his mutant powers emerged, his body became encased in living steel and he became one of the mightiest heroes of the Marvel Universe. Peter moved to America to join the X-Men, serving as both the heart and conscience of the team.

Mechanics[]

Whether the opponent is hitting you, or you are hitting them, Colossus is a great Champion to use. Colossus has strong survivability as well as damage potential. He’s got plenty of Armor Up Buffs, which increase his Armor Rating and Critical Damage! The more Armor, the higher the damage output!

Special Attacks[]

Special 1 - Russian Rushdown

  • Gain an indefinite Armor Up Buff.
  • Flat 5% chance per Armor up Buff to inflict a Stun Debuff for 2 seconds.

Dev Notes: This Special Attack is really important for gaining indefinite Armor Up Buffs while unduped. Use it to build up more Armor for Colossus.

Special 2 - Piotr's Powerful Pummelling
Colossus demonstrates hand to hand combat with enough superhuman strength to careen 100 tons.

  • This attack is Unblockable.
  • When activated, for each Armor Up Buff, Colossus has a 50% chance to gain another lasting 15 seconds. These Buffs do not count towards the Max Stack limit, allowing Colossus to temporarily go above his Armor Up Buff limit.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Armor Up
    • Colossus’ Armor Up Buffs are easy to get and provide damage protection as well as increasing his Critical Damage.
  • Damage
    • With his Heavy Attack Colossus can gain a Fury passive, increasing his attack for a short duration. Canceling his Heavy Attack after the first hit allows you to launch a special attack with the Fury!
  • Immunities
    • Colossus boasts four Immunities, as well as an extra Immunity to Armor Break against all but Tech Champions. When duped he also has a chance to gain an Armor Up every time he is Immune to an effect!

Weaknesses[]

  • Nullify
    • Colossus’ damage is best when he can have plenty of Armor Up Buffs. Nullifying these Buffs can remove quite a bit of his damage, and his survivability.
  • Poison
    • Damage over time effects like Poison that Colossus isn’t Immune to can eat through his health pool, ignoring any damage reduction from Armor Up.
  • Reliance on Stun and Heavy
    • In matchups where Colossus can’t use his regular rotation, he can run into trouble when stacking his Armor Up Buffs is difficult.

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Stupify
    • Colossus is helped by an increased Stun debuff giving him more time to use his Heavy Attack.
  • Double Edge
    • Colossus is Bleed Immune allowing him to benefit from the increased attack without worrying about the health loss at the start of the fight!
  • Precision
    • Although Colossus can raise his Critical Damage, his Critical Hit Rate is relatively low. Increasing his chance to hit Critical Hits makes sure you benefit more from increased damage on those crits!
