Vox is a Cosmic Champion. Being a Cosmic Champion, they have a Class Bonus against Tech Champions, but are weak to Mystic Champions.

Bio

The Vox are a race of genetically engineered Super-Inhumans built by the Kree to send one message to the Inhumans of Earth: JOIN OR DIE. Each Vox is reconstructed out of a brainwashed Inhuman and possesses a deadly collection of their combined abilities. Above all, the Vox's most dangerous feature is their lack of humanity. They cannot be swayed or tricked or bought, for they want nothing but their enemies' hearts to stop beating.

Mechanics

The Vox’s Buffs, like the Vox themselves, are Corrupted versions of existing Buffs. This comes with some big benefits, like increased Ability Accuracy, indefinite duration, and the ability to hold onto Buffs from Nodes (and enemy Inhumans) by corrupting them. However, these Buffs are a double-edged sword, and will actually harm their master if Nullified.

Vox’s Corrupted Buffs amass quickly and can be converted into numerous Degenerations using his Special Attacks! These Degenerations are special in that they grow stronger with each passing second they remain on the Opponent. This means that, by the end of their duration, they will be dealing some truly massive damage!

But the fun doesn’t stop there, because following up with another Special Attack reclaims those Degenerations and converts them into Intensify Buffs, so Vox can repeat the cycle, even stronger! Just make sure to wait until the last possible moment to grab them, so that they have the maximum possible time to fester!

Abilities

Always Active

• Vox’s super-Inhuman physiology grants them Immunity to Poison, Power Burn, Power Drain, Power Lock, and Special Lock.
• The Precision Buffs granted by the Dexterity Mastery have no stack limit, and fall off one at a time with each of Vox’s attacks.
• Personal Degenerations are paused during Vox’s Special Attacks as long as the entire attack strikes the Opponent.

Dev Notes: Vox’s ability to stack the Precision from the Dexterity Mastery is extra useful in fights against Champions with many Special Attack hits that Vox can repeatedly Dex. Remember that while you can freely stack the Dex Precision, you need to actually hit the Opponent multiple times to convert them into Corrupted Precisions.

Corrupted Buffs

• Through twisted Kree bioengineering, the Vox have been granted the power of Corrupted Buffs. These Buffs have 300% Ability Accuracy and last indefinitely. However, when one is Nullified, Vox instantly takes a burst of 1836.65 Direct Damage.
• When a non-Corrupted Fury, Cruelty, Precision, Armor Up, Intensify, Undermine, or Vigilance Buff expires off of Vox or an #Inhuman Opponent for any reason other than Nullify, Vox gains a matching Corrupted Buff. Furies obtained this way cannot exceed 20% of Vox’s base Attack Rating.
• Corrupted Buffs have a stack limit of 10 except Intensify, which has a stack limit of 30.
• Vox’s Medium Attacks grant them a Corrupted Fury Buff with potency 122.95.
• Vox’s first and fourth Light Attacks grant them a Corrupted Cruelty Buff with potency 42.86.
• When struck by a Medium Attack, Vox gains a Corrupted Armor Up Buff with potency 110.53.

Dev Notes: Be on the lookout for potential Nodes to get extra Corrupted Buffs from. Certain Incursions Hacks are extra potent. Note that this list includes Precision, which is granted by the Dexterity Mastery.

On Final Hit Of Special Attack 1 & 2

• If none of Vox’s personal Degenerations are on the Opponent, for each Corrupted Buff on Vox inflict a Degeneration Debuff that deals 96.36 Direct Damage over a fixed 13 seconds. Consume all Corrupted Buffs.
• If any of Vox’s personal Degenerations are on the Opponent, consume all of them. Vox gains a 2% Corrupted Intensify for each Degeneration consumed this way.
• As an Attacker, these Degenerations increase the damage they deal by 10% for each second they have been on the Opponent.

Dev Notes: Vox’s core loop can be best summed up as “get a bunch of Corrupted Buffs, turn them into Degenerations with one Special, and then turn them back into Corrupted Buffs with another Special Attack.” Try to keep Vox’s Degens active for as long as possible, since that will greatly increase the amount of damage they do.

Signature Ability

Lethal Edge - Always Active

• Contact with the blade of Vox’s scythe increases the damage of active personal Degenerations on the Opponent by 3%.
• Each time Vox’s personal Degenerations are inflicted, the next time Vox strikes the Opponent’s Block or the Opponent activates an Unblockable or Unstoppable effect, the Degenerations are paused for 2 seconds.
• Vox can toggle a Pre-Fight ability to Never Back Down during a fight, preventing them from moving backwards when they Dodge. This option persists between fights.

Special Attacks

Special Attack 1

• On activation, gain an Undermine Buff for 3 seconds.

Dev Notes: Undermine is a great way of countering Autoblock Champions such as Peni Parker. Remember that Undermine is on Vox’s list of Corrupted Buffs, this will become an indefinite Corrupted Undermine when it expires.

Special Attack 2

• On activation, gain a Vigilance Buff for 5 seconds.

Dev Notes: This Special Attack is almost exactly the same as the previous Special, with two key differences. One: Vigilance. Two: it’s longer. This is important because Degens are paused during Vox’s Specials, but continue to get stronger while they are paused. This means you can use the long duration of Special 2 to squeeze even more damage out of those Degenerations!

Special Attack 3

• This attack deals True Damage and gains +172.13 Attack Rating for each Corrupted Intensify on Vox, then converts all Corrupted Buffs into Corrupted Intensifies.
• If the Opponent is an #Inhuman, inflict an indefinite, non-stacking 100% Neutralize Debuff.

Dev Notes: When Vox’s Degeneration Debuffs just aren’t getting the job done, they can fall back on using their Special 3 to ramp anyway. As for the second ability, well it’s only fitting for the entity that silenced Black Bolt.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

• Versatile Damage
  • Sometimes instead of untying a knot, it’s easier to cut right through it. Vox embodies this by not only dishing out a tonne of damage, but by giving you considerable control over when and how it gets dished out. Since the damage comes in the form of Degenerations, it is also not resisted by most Champions.
• Buff Quantity
  • Vox can amass a wide array of Corrupted Buffs very quickly. Using quick 3 Hit combos grant Furies and Cruelties at a high rate, but if that’s not enough, Vox can also play defensively, Dexing multiple consecutive attacks to rapidly collect Precision Buffs.
• Immunities
  • Like other Inhumans, Vox has Immunity to Poison effects. In addition, they have Immunity to many Tech-based Power control abilities. This grants them greater control over when and how they get to use their Special Attacks.

Weaknesses

• Buff Removal
  • Vox pays a high price for the power of Corrupted Buffs. Innately unstable, they are prone to explode when Nullified, dealing Vox a sizable chunk of damage. Do your best to avoid this, or exploit it when fighting against Vox.
• Purify
  • The bulk of Vox’s damage comes from their Degeneration Debuffs, and if those are removed, not only does Vox miss out on their damage, but also they lose hard earned Corrupted Buffs.
• Degeneration Resistance
  • As mentioned above, if Vox can’t rely on their Degeneration Debuffs, their damage drops significantly. They can opt into using their Special 3 to convert Corrupted Buffs, but it’s nowhere near as strong.
