 Hexer Class: Stratus 

Subclass: Mage

Weapon Name: Cumulatus





Description: Stratus is a unique fighter who can summon and control the weather to suit his cause. Stratus can create storms and immense heat to cover and area and cause his foes to suffer, and amplify it for short periods of time to make it even worse. Additionally, his abilities and stats slightly change with the currently active weather. However, he is easy pickings when he can’t get enough mana to keep storms running effectively.



Posture: When spawning, Stratus will have his weapon on his left hip, grabbing it and pulling it out with his right hand when he equips it. While, idle, he will have his left hand slightly raises and his blade slightly lowered to his right. While moving, he will lower his left hand and his right hand a little bit.



Standard Attack Combo: Stratus’ attack combo’s 4th attack will change depending on what element his blade has. If Stratus does not have an element on his blade, his damage and range will be reduce and will be restricted to only the first 3 attacks in his combo. Stratus will begin his combo by slashing his blade diagonally to the lower left, followed by another diagonal slash to the lower right. Then Stratus will slash his blade horizontally to the left. If Stratus has Precipitation active, he will then stomp his foot created a splash of water and a wave that moves outward a short distance to damage nearby players. If Stratus has Solar Glare active, he will slash his blade again horizontally to launch a wave of fire forward a short distance. If Stratus has Frigid Sleet active, he will do an uppercut stab that raises a thin icicle out of the ground the rises diagonally forward to stab enemies before shattering. If Stratus has Primal Tempest active, he will point his blade forward, releasing a jolt of electricity that targets the nearest enemy within a small area and shocks them. The attack will not release a jolt of electricity if there are no nearby enemies.

Additionally, Stratus will gain bonus buffs for whatever weather he’s currently in, 0.2 speed while in Precipitation, 0.2 Attack while in Solar Glare, 0.2 defense while in Frigid Hail, and 0.2 in all stats while inside a Primal Tempest.

While this is active, enemies within the area of the storm will get constant speed debuffs that decrease the enemy’s speed by 0.05 for a couple seconds. While Precipitation is active, Stratus’ sword will gain a blade made out of water. When Weather Warning is active, the weather will create puddles that, if stepped on, will deal good stun and decrease the enemy’s speed by 0.05 for a couple seconds. After a while, the clouds will disperse and fade away and the rainfall will stop. (Consumes 40 mana, 20 second cooldown, 20 second duration)

<p class="MsoNormal">[Z] Flash Flood – Stratus will gather water around him to form a geyser that raises him above the ground for a second before he stabs his sword down, crashing the geyser into the ground and creating a huge wave of water that spreads outward, dealing moderate damage to enemies hit by the wave and staggering them if their speed is 0.6 or lower.
