Masacre

"¡Te lo estoy diciendo, soy Masacre, no Deadpool!"

—Masacre^[src]

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

Bio[]

Deadpool once visited a church in Mexico, stopping to give confession. The priest who took his confession was convinced by it that the world needed to be punished, becoming the mercenary Masacre. Extracting information from the reluctant Inspector Jaime Gordón, Masacre tracks down and takes out the crime lord Calavera de Jade. The very next day Masacre rides off to New York, joining Deadpool’s Mercs for Money.

Landing a Critical Hit, being Blocked, or striking an opponent that has an Incinerate Debuff grants 1 Ignition Charge for 20 seconds.
Critical Hits deal an additional X% of damage dealt as a burst of Energy Damage for each Ignition Charge.

While Ignited, Masacre cannot gain Ignition Charges.
Upon reaching 10 Ignition Charges, all Charges are consumed and Mascare’s Bat becomes Ignited for 20 seconds.

Dev Notes: It takes a little getting used to, but Masacre can run a 4 hit combo (M-L-L-L) which are all bat strikes. This is one of the most effective ways to quickly Ignite the bat.

When striking a Block, Passively gain Power equal to what an unblocked Attack would have granted.
This attack Incinerates the enemy, dealing X Energy Damage over 5 seconds. This effect also removes Perfect Block Chance and reduces Block Proficiency by 50% while it's active.

These Incinerate Debuffs gain +1 second(s) duration for each Incinerate on the opponent. Max: +5 Seconds.

Dev Notes: Using the Power Gain when striking a Block is one of the easiest ways to guarantee that your opponent will be blocking when you use a Special 2.

When Blocked

Opponent suffers -50% Ability Accuracy if they have at least 1 Debuff.

Dev Notes: Combining the Defensive Ability Accuracy reduction with the Disorient Debuff from Special 1, allows Masacre to have -100% Ability Accuracy reduction when striking his Opponent’s Block.

Heavy Attack

Each bat hit against an Incinerated Opponent grants an additional Ignition Charge.

Dev Notes: The Heavy Attack animation is 4 strikes with the bat. Against an Incinerated Opponent, building to 10 charges with one Heavy Attack is possible.

Special Attacks[]

Special 1 - Fuel for the Fire
Masacre gives his opponent a face full of ground chillies before aggressively applying his machetes while they’re distracted

100% chance to inflict a Disorient Debuff lasting 12 seconds and reducing Defensive Ability Accuracy and Block Proficiency by 50%. +200% Duration if the opponent doesn’t have an Incinerate Debuff.
100% chance to refresh all active Incinerate Debuffs on the opponent.
Machete Hits have a 100% chance to inflict a Bleed Debuff, causing X direct damage over 20 seconds.

Tier	Direct Damage
	132.75
	351.75
	882
	1768.5
	3017.25
	7662.75

Dev Notes: Using the Special 1 just before reaching Special 2 to refresh active Incinerate effects and gain the longer Disorient Duration, gives the best opportunity to throw a Special 2 into a Block with both Debuffs active.

Special 2 - Sawed off Thunder
Masacre opens fire with his powerful if sometimes unreliable shotguns, and if all else fails, they’re heavy…

+X Attack Rating if Blocked.

If Masacre strikes into a Block, he will avoid incoming attacks for 1 second granting them a 100% chance to Miss.

Dev Notes: Doesn’t do particularly good damage when just fired into a Block, but if you can reduce your Opponent's Block Proficiency with Disorient and Incinerate, the damage increases a lot!

Special 3 - Special Sauce
Hurling his opponent away, Masacre self serves a bottle of his own special recipe, line driving it into his opponent to explosive effect.

This attack Incinerates the enemy, dealing X Energy Damage over 5 seconds. This effect also removes Perfect Block Chance and reduces Block Proficiency by 50% while it’s active.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

M.O.D.O.K.
- Masacre has class advantage on M.O.D.O.K., and with the ability to reduce Defensive Ability Accuracy with Disorient, he’ll be less likely to trigger his Autoblock. When he does, Disorient, Incinerate and the huge Attack bonus when his Special 2 strikes a block will serve him well.

Medusa
- Masacre has many of the same strengths against Medusa as he does against M.O.D.O.K., but with the added bonus of being able to reduce Defensive Ability Accuracy by 100% into a Block. This means that, while Medusa may still trigger her Autoblock, you can prevent her from Parrying you when she does.

Iron Man (Infinity War)
- Iron Man (Infinity War) triggers his Signature Ability at a consistent health threshold. If Masacre is clever enough to push him across that trigger by striking his block, combined with Disorient, he can prevent it from triggering, making the fight much easier.

Weaknesses[]

Mephisto
- Mephisto is a terrible matchup for Masacre, not only will his Incinerates do no damage, but Mephisto will gain Power from them. Best to avoid this matchup entirely if possible!

Bishop
- Bishop gains Prowess from taking Energy damage. Incinerates do Energy damage, and therefore Masacre can supercharge Bishop if he hits him too much and Bishop can deal the damage back to Masacre. Bishop also has Class Advantage just to top things off.

Agent Venom
- I’m using Agent Venom here as a stand-in for most champions which can remove Debuffs from themselves. A lot of Masacre’s consistent damage comes from his Incinerates, losing a large percentage of them to his opponent’s abilities stings.

Recommended Masteries[]

Precision
- Masacre wants to spend as much time with his bat Ignited as possible. More critical hits with his bat will help increase this up time.

Inequity
- Masacre can stack lots of Incinerate, as well as some Bleed. He should be able to keep Inequity in full force through much of the fight.

Assassin
- The Attack increase will affect Masacre’s Incinerate damage, and the Defensive Ability Accuracy reduction will help cover for moments when Disorient happens to fall off.
