Naraja, the Spiritblade wielder

Resource: Mana

P: Engraved with Spirits

Attack Speed gets increased by [100-200]% CDR.

P: Drawing Attention (CD: [60-30] sec)

Enemies marked for more than 20 seconds get rooted for [0.3-2] seconds and dealing [0-100]% AD or [0-65]% AP adaptive true damage if it wouldn't kill the target.

Q: Indirect Combat (- # / 7 sec / 500 units) {Gets treated as basic attack but can't apply all types of On-Hit effects}{CDR increases the abilitys animation speed}{area covered by the slashes is 50 to 100 units wide}

Naraja sweeps his blade, releasing a magical wave dealing [20/40/50/70/90] (+ 80% AD or + 55% AP - 40% on the lower stat) damage, half magic half physical, to every enemy in its path (40% to minions). The ability has a window of 4.2 seconds to be recast and can be recast up to 4 times, each resetting the window to 4.2 seconds. Enemies in Basic attack range get damaged by [40/65/90/115/140] (+ 120% AD or + 75% AP - 40% on the lower stat) physical damage instead. The last Champion hit by the ability gets marked for [3/3.5/4/4.5/5] seconds. CDR on this ability is doubled.

W: Spirit Shield (100 # / [45/41/37/33/29] sec / - units) {After redirection targeted projectiles target their caster if visable, else they disappear}

Naraja summons a tempest of spirits around him. The next [1/1/1/2/2] projectiles hitting him within the next [1/2/2.5/3/3] seconds swirl around him. After [3/3/2/2/1] rotations, the projectile gets shot into the direction it came from, dealing an additional 10% AD damage. While the projectile swirls around Naraja, it can hit both allies and enemies. After being released, it can only hit enemies. Projectiles keep their characteristics.

E: Spirits Path ([70/65/60/55/50] # / 15 sec / 700 units)

Naraja opens a path to the spirit realm in front of him, creating an area {400 Units cone} of spirit energy in front of it, dealing (10/15/20/25/35) + 30% AP per second to enemies inside. Effect lasts for 4 seconds If an enemy champion is marked, a similar path is opened behind him. Naraja travels through the path and disarms the enemy for 0.8 seconds. The mark gets cleared.

R: Border of Illusions (100 # / [150/120/90] sec / -) {Not affected by any CDR}

Naraja breaks the borders to the spirit realm and creates [3/6/10] illusions of himself at random locations (on SR in jungle). The illusions wander around the map for [10/15/20] seconds. Illusions grant vision in [50/70/100]% of base radius and disappear if hit by an enemy champion or tower twice. Illusions are imune to other sources of damage. Destroyed illusions reduce the cooldown of this ability by [0/1/2] seconds. Destroying illusions grants rewards equal to wards times 1.5. Naraja can recast the ability to redirect the closest illusion.

As the ability ends, all illusions get sucked back to Naraja, dealing ([100/300/500] + 50% AP) * (1+0.5*CDR (on this ability)) magic damage to all enemies they pass. The ability doesn't get interrupted by death.

Short Lore:

Not many who pass the border to the spirit realm survive and those who did never returned. Except Naraja, that is. Entering the world of spirits as a child barely able to crawl, he lived among them for decades in which he barely aged. One day, the spirits requested of him to return to the physical realm to do their bidding. Now he roams Runeterra, sword in hand, to end whomever threatens the spirits he calls family.

Tipps:

Play as:

Don't rely only on 'Indirect Combat' as it can be dodged. Use your basic attacks to guarantee a hit.

To apply non-stacking On-Hit Effects like 'Spellblade' use basic attacks

'Spirits Path' can be helpful to secure kills, but can also doom Naraja. Be careful if you can't see the currently marked enemy and its surrounding.

'Border of Illusions' does great damage if positioned right.

Projectiles circling around Naraja after hitting a 'Spirit Shield' can hit allies and enemies alike. Take care not to hit that low-health Yasuo you try to protect.

Naraja is most effective against isolated targets due to his marks.

'Border of Illusions' can still be used and controlled after death. Keep that in mind to aid your team.

One way to use 'Border of Illusions' is to act like an illusion to sneak up on enemies.

Play against:

Naraja struggles to hit multiple enemies, especially when they have a greater range than his 'Indirect Combat'.

Naraja scales on items. Keep him from farming or getting kills to keep his early and midgame low.

Evaluate if it is worth to get rid of Narajas illusions. Not all of them can get dangerous for your team.

Naraja will try to engage a fight when 'Border of Illusions' duration ends to deal the highest possible damage. That is your opportunity to use your defensive abilities.

Naraja needs offensive items to be a danger. As a result, his defensive is bad which makes mistakes extremely punishable.

Assassins are his worst nightmare.

Not every Naraja you see during 'Border of Illusions' is an actual illusion. If you don't know where he is, keep your distance to them.

You can prevent huge chunks of damage by forcing Naraja to reset his mark. This can be achieved by letting a teammate catch one of his 'Indirect Combat' casts.

"Did she ...?"

"No, she didn't."

Extended lore:

True love and illusion: 

The last tone of the song faded, and their audience applauded. Laia accepted the cup of hot goat milk from the tribal elder and sat down on on the fire. "I love you singing this song about Ellerui. You truly bring it to life."

"Thanks elder. I wish she was a real person, not just a tale." She sipped the milk.

"I bet the two of you would be great friends!"

"I would feel so sorry for her. It must be hard to never find someone you truly love." She looked into the night sky.

"You'll find the right person someday. Everyone does."

"A storm is coming. We need to prepare the camp." She jumped up and extinguished the fire.

Storms are a common thing in the Freljord, so everyone knew what to do. After some minutes, the camp was ready to face the storm. Short before entering her tent, she looked at the sky again. Then she saw Frans child, crawling towards the fire pit. 'Didn't anyone take care of her?' But it was too late to think. She started running towards the child. As she reached her, the blizzard started raging around the camp, and she had to protect her face. She grabbed the child and turned towards her tent, as a hand grabbed her by her shoulder. "Don't run. I want to talk to you."

"Are you crazy? She will freeze to death! How should I explain Fran why she ..." The child in her hands exploded into a swarm of butterflies, beautiful insects Laia only knew from tales.

"This blizzard is an illusion, as was the child." The blizzard stopped raging around Laia and the woman standing behind her. "I listened your song. You have such a beautiful voice."

"Thank you. But why would you literally start a blizzard to tell me that?" Laia didn't was feared of turning around.

"I think you are lonely. That's why you like the tale about me so much, isn't it?" A lightly dressed girl stepped out of the blizzard.

"Your tale?" She stuttered as she recognized herself as the girl standing in front of her. "You mean... you are Ellerui?"

"Yes, I am. But at the same time, I am not." Her clone stepped closer as it answered. "Once I was a girl, just like you. I also was looking for the one I could truly love. And as you, I was supposed to die in that blizzard." She hugged her from behind. Laia could feel the warmth of her blank skin through her pelts.

"What do you want to do to me? I haven't betrayed anyone!" Laia felt helpless, but also, she didn't dare to call for help.

"I don't want you to be lonely." She tightened her hug. "And I don't want you to end like me. I died that night, and became the being I am right now."

"But how do you want to help me? If someone truly needs help, you do!" Now Laia was completely confused as her clone came closer.

"You will see. We will meet again sometime." The pressure around her chest disappeared. Her clone took her by the hand and led her to her tent.

"The person you will love, will love you too. Don't worry, that's no illusion, that's the truth." Laia was the first to enter her tent, her clone followed her. "And don't forget, Ellerui will meet you again sometime."

"I hope you are right, Ellerui." Too fast for her to react her clone pressed her lips onto Laias. One instant later, her clone was replaced with a man.

Years passed, Laia and her husband left the tribe to return to his home. In Piltover, she gave birth to three children. Unfortunately one day both she and her husband became sick. He passed away first. One night, Laia woke up as someone touched her at her arm. "Don't worry, it's just me." Ellerui whispered.

"You finally visit me."

"As promised."

"I have to thank you. Because of you, I found the person I loved. I wish I could do anything for you, but I guess I'd die before I could even think of anything."

"Don't worry. Seeing you two living together is enough of a reward for me."

"Is it true that you never found love?"

"Unfortunately. But that's why I became what I am."

"Is this your true body?"

"Yes."

"You are beautiful. There must have been many men making a proposal to you."

"You are right. But they didn't truly love me, and I didn't any of them." She laid one of her hands on Laias chest as she started to cough.

"I guess that's it for me. It was nice to meet you, Ellerui. I hope you will find the right one someday."

"May I create an illusion of your young body to help me?"

"It would be an honor." After those words, the arrow pierced her chest, right beside Elleruis hand. As her soul left her body, the illusion of the young Laia rose besides the lamb.

"She deserved a peaceful death." it whispered.

"As did we. But now look at us."

"I feel bad for you." muttered the wolf besides her ear, "You don't even have a partner to talk to in bad times!"

"She may not have one, but she has many."

"That's right, but illusions are no replacement for a true partner." Laias illusion answered sadly.

"How does it feel?" asked the lamb.

"How'd I know?" answered the wolf.

"Like something, a part of you, is missing. It drives you crazy, makes you trying to talk to everyone you can. But that doesn't fill the space." Ellerui whispered.

"Don't you sometimes want to let me chase you?"

"Or to take my arrow?" the lamb continued as the wolf licked over her face.

"We can't just do that. We both have responsibilities, Kindred. You are the one bringing death, I am ..." Ellerui responded, but her sentence got finished by the lamb.

"... the bringer of love and illusions, I know. It just was a theoretical question. Both of us need to exist, so we have to live this eternal life."

"Would you?" Laias illusion asked.

"Back then, we did. Now, we won't." The wolf laughed as he answered.

"How ironic. If you think about it, we represent what we couldn't reach in our former lives." The lamb tightened her grip on the bow. "Come wolf, we need to go."

"Where is the next one?"

"The prey lives in Demacia." The wolf muttered.

"I'll take you there." Laias illusion whispered. The four of them disappeared as the door opened.

Illusions and lies:

"Finally I meet you!" The man, Reederas, turned around and drew his sword.

"So you know why I'm here?" The Sun disk glowed in the setting sun they stared at each other.

"You're beautiful. But you can't trick me, Ellerui. You're a dead girl!"

"Funny. Is that what you tell every girl you find pretty? Oh, of course it is! Else your wife wouldn't have left you!" She giggled as his head turned red. Suddenly he jumped forward and tried to stab her with his sword. It didn't reached her as she blocked it with her own sword she suddenly held in her hands.

"You dare laughing about me?"

"Does it matter? Only one will leave this desert alive." She blocked his sword again. The next hit surprised her and wounded her leg heavily.

"You, Ellerui, are dead now!"

"Do you really think of me as that weak?" She asked he stabbed her chest.

"Doesn't matter, you are dead now!" Elleruis body exploded into a swarm of butterflies. "How ...?" He didn't came to finish his sentence as another Ellerui dashed through the swarm. Reederas managed to block her attack and stabbed her back. He rolled away as something shot towards his chest. Two more Elleruis stood before him as he stood on his legs again.

"Truth be told, you were woven into this illusion the whole time." said the left one.

"But the greatest illusion you were woven into was the relationship between your wife and you." said the other one

"Shut up!" He shouted and dashed forward.

"So you don't want me to tell you what you want to know? What a pity." Both said as the distance in between them and him got greater as he ran forward.

"You can't just go now!"

"Oh, I can." Her voice whispered in his ear. "But first, I make you pay for the pain you did to them." As she said that, a swarm of butterflies appeared in the distance. "Find the special one, and you will live."

"How am I supposed to do that? They all look the same!"

"And that's exactly what you think about girls too, isn't it? Now, let the fun begin." The swarm started to surround him. He tried his best to find the one that was different, but as they got closer, he knew he was doomed.

"Please! I promise to excuse myself to every of them. I'll never betray anyone again! I'll do whatever you tell me to, but please let me live!" The butterflies almost touched him. Then one of them directly flew towards his chest. He screamed as it entered his body, which suddenly expanded in size. "Please!" he cried, but it was too late. His body felt like it was about to explode at any moment.

He was a butterfly that got caught by a bat.

He was the last girl he betrayed. It was the first night they spent together. The night before he had left her.

He was a Goat that was getting killed by the butcher.

He was himself, getting buried under the dunes of Shurima.

Reederas sank to his knees. "I'll give you one week. If you manage to hold your promise, you will live and warn everyone like you. The one person you will truly love will meet you in some years."

"Thank you, great Ellerui!"

"But if you fail or betray me, you will die." She was gone, but Reederas chest still hurt where the butterfly entered his body, as it left the mark of the illusionist, a heart shaped butterfly, burnt into his skin.

And Reederas lived.
