—Magneto^[src]

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

Bio

The Master of Magnetism, Magneto is one of the most powerful — and iconic — mutants on Earth. As Max Eisenhardt, he experienced unspeakable atrocities. As Magneto, he crusades for the rights of mutants — often at any cost. He commands the forces of magnetism, generating force bolts or manipulating metal at will. Sometimes champion, sometimes fanatic, Magneto has fought with the X-Men as often as he has fought against them.

Magneto's Mechanics

Magneto is the new king of Prowess and Bleed in The Contest. Using his mastery over metal he will reduce #Metal opponents to nothing more than a slight annoyance. Unleash massive Special Attacks after stacking tons of Prowess buffs for insane damage.

Abilities

Basic Abilities

Magnetism – Fighting #Metal Champions

#Metal opponents suffer an indefinite Magnetized Passive which is applied 1 second[s] after the start of the fight and does the following:
-70% Ability Accuracy & -105% Regeneration rate.
Magneto’s abilities gain special [Magnet] bonuses.

Dev Notes: This massive amount of reduction to both Regeneration Rate and Ability Accuracy is going to let you cruise through any #Metal opponent you might run into!

Mutation – Always Active

Magneto’s attacks deal Energy damage instead of Physical.
Incoming Bleed & Shock Debuffs suffer -90% Potency.
[Magnet] +50% Perfect Block Chance.
[Magnet] +X Attack rating.
[Magnet] Attacks cannot be Auto-Blocked or Miss.

Dev Notes: Don’t Forget that Perfect Block Chance will increase your Parry Stun time. That is going to be key in getting the max out of Magneto’s heavy Charge!

[Magnet] Ignore Class Disadvantage

During fights where Magneto has a Class Disadvantage, he removes his Attack Penalty and his opponent loses their Attack Bonus.

Dev Notes: Yes this does include the superior class!

Knock the Opponent Down

100% chance to gain an indefinite Prowess Buff, which is removed after Magneto’s next Special Attack and grants +20% Special Attack damage. Max Stacks: 5. [Magnet] No Max Stack limit.

Charging Heavy Attacks

When Charging a Heavy Attack

Magneto’s force field grants him an Unstoppable Buff during the attack. If struck during a Heavy Attack, this effect goes on cooldown for 14 seconds. [Magnet] Cooldown shortened by 10 seconds.
If held for 0.7 seconds, each Prowess Buff has a 100% chance to grant another Prowess Buff, lasting 10 seconds and providing +5% Special Attack damage. Max Stacks: 40.

Dev Notes: This is going to be your Key to getting massive bleed on the Special 3 Attack, as well as amping all your special damage. The timing is just right that you will have a small visual cue right when the charge is done.

[Magnet] Enhanced Bleed Debuffs

Personal Bleed Debuffs are upgraded into Shrapnel Bleeds, which inflict X Physical damage when they end.
If the opponent is Immune to a Bleed Debuff, inflict an Armor Break Debuff, reducing Armor Rating by X for 12 seconds.

Signature Ability

Homo Superior

Text

Homo Superior

Mutation – Always Active

Magneto’s mutation reaches Omega level, preventing him from losing more than X Health from any single damage source, excluding damage from a Special 3 Attack.
He also gains +X Critical Resistance and Block Penetration. [Magnet] This attribute bonus is increased by +100%.
Heavy Attacks now deal a burst of X Energy Damage.

Dev Notes: I find that the Signature Ability letting me tank a few hits while Charging his Heavy Attack is a great way to deal with Stun Immune!

Special Attacks

Special 1 Attack: SHRAPNEL

100% chance to inflict a Bleed Debuff, causing X direct damage over 6 seconds.
If the opponent has an Armor Break Debuff, inflict an additional Bleed.
[Magnet] Inflict an additional Bleed.

Special 2 Attack: FRACTURE

100% chance to inflict an Armor Break Debuff, reducing Armor Rating by X for 10 seconds. This Armor Break does not stack but is re-applied each time Magneto gains a Prowess effect.
[Magnet] This Debuff triggers when the Special Attack is launched.

Special 3 Attack: COLD-BLOODED FUSION

If the opponent is a #Hero Champion, 100% chance to gain a 30 second Fury Buff, granting +X Attack.
[Magnet] 100% chance to gain a 30 second Fury Buff, granting +X Attack.
Each Prowess Buff on Magneto has a 70% chance to inflict 1 Bleed Debuff, causing X direct damage over 8 seconds.

Dev Notes: See how many Fury’s you can stack up in a fight, and then unleash your Special 3 Attack for an insane amount of Bleed Damage.

Strengths

Bleed and Shock Resistance:
- The new and improved Magneto now rocks a massive 90% reduction to both Bleed and Shock Potency.
Massive Burst Damage:
- With the sheer amount of Prowess you can get in Magneto’s kit, you’ll be able to dish out massive damage with his Special Attacks.
Anti-Healing:
- Magneto’s mastery of the #Metal Champions lets him immediately ignore and reverse any incoming healing they may gain!

Weaknesses

Nullify:
- The updated Magneto has got a ton Buffs popping at every turn. Shutting down his Buffs with a powerful Mystic will severely hamper his damage.
Stun Immune:
- Magneto’s new kit has him throwing tons of Heavy Attacks. He has some counters to stun immune, but you really want to be able to land Parry whenever you can!
