Hexer Class: Akasha

Subclass: Mage

Weapon Name: Helios

Description: Carrying a small chakram, Akasha's presence on the battlefield alone is enough to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. His knowledge of this realm has led to decreased mana usage for his skills; because of this, Akasha focuses on debuffing from a distance, as well as being able to diminish his enemies' health before they have a chance to reach him. Though Akasha is a worthy adversary at mid to long range, he lacks significant melee capabilities, and relies only on his standard combo. If a skilled enemy manages to come close, it becomes very hard for him to defend himself.

Posture: Akasha spawns in with Helios on his right hip. On equip, Akasha waves his right arm in front of him, Helios coming off and flying in a counter-clockwise ellipse around him. Helios circles him once before he reaches to his right and catches it. The animation ends with Akasha levitating off the ground slightly. When idle, Akasha hovers, holding Helios by his side and his left arm in front of his chest. When moving, Akasha leans forward, dropping his left arm down to his hip. On unequip, Akasha lands and places Helios back on his hip.

Helios is fairly small, being around half the size of a character's torso, with a jagged edge and a curved handle going through the diameter of the blade. The blade's color is determined by Color 1; the color of the effects from the standard combo and skills are determined by Color 2.

Standard Attack Combo: Akasha throws Helios forward about 10 studs, and catches it upon its return. He then slashes upward to his right, followed by a downward slash to his left, followed by an overhead slash with a frontflip at the end.

[PASSIVE] Astral Plane - Akasha has a higher jump and increased resistance to speed debuffs.

[E] Wither - Akasha raises Helios and drops his left arm to his side. In this state, the standard combo is replaced by repeated throws of the chakram. His attack speed is lowered, but he gains a damage buff of .15, and all attacks debuff enemy defense by .08. If Helios returns in less than a second, Akasha is caught off-guard, and is staggered.

[Z] Richochet - Akasha throws Helios above him and points forward. The chakram then flies to the nearest enemy, debuffing their speed and defense by .1. After striking, Helios travels to the next closest enemy within 20 studs. Helios can chain up to 4 hits before returning to Akasha. The skill takes 8 mana and has a 5 second cooldown.

[X] Disruption - Akasha holds Helios in front of him, charging it for a second. He then throws it forward up to 70 studs. If Helios comes in contact with an enemy, it creates an AoE that drains a portion of the enemy's mana based on how far away they are from Akasha, up to 30. The initial hit also debuffs damage by .1. This skill takes 15 mana and has a 10 second cooldown.

[C] Enlightenment - Akasha drops Helios, which then begins to orbit slowly around him for 15 seconds. For the duration of the skill, Akasha gains an energy clone of Helios, as well as increased attack speed. If C is pressed again, Akasha raises the clone, signalling Helios to spin faster. After a second, an AoE is triggered, debuffing enemy stats by .1. This skill takes 25 mana and has a 20 second cooldown. Triggering the AoE takes another 15 mana, and can be done every 3 seconds.

[V] Dreamer's Strike - Akasha places Helios back on his hip and floats higher. He clasps his hands and bows his head, creating a large field and reducing his speed to 0 for 2 seconds. Enemies in this field have their movement and attack speed reduced by a significant amount, and are unable to jump. Akasha raises his head, Helios flying off his hip and rapidly around the field in random directions, dealing moderate damage and stun to whoever it comes in contact with. The field persists for 12 seconds. When Akasha is able to move again, he is given an energy clone of the chakram until the field disappears. The skill takes 40 mana and has a 40 second cooldown.
