Bill Cipher

Nightmare Demon

A powerful Assassin that tricks and isolates enemies outside the battlefield to unleash his full power.

Trillions of years ago, Bill Cipher originated from the second dimension. Flat minds in a flat world with flat dreams. He liberated his dimension by plunging it into burning chaos, along with everyone he'd ever known, including his own parents. He eventually took over a boiling, shifting intergalactic foam between dimensions: a lawless, unstable crawlspace known as the Nightmare Realm. However, due to the Nightmare Realm's lawlessness and lack of any consistent physics or rules, it was fated to collapse into itself eventually. In search of a new home Bill found his way to the Nexus, in hopes of aquiring his Physical Form to enter the dimension and call it his own.

"Votmzrig ivskrx oory! When Gravity Falls and Earth becomes sky, fear the beast with just one eye."

Gameplay

Bill Cipher is a trickster and crazy nightmare demon. His abilities can be used to disable enemies and cause confusion.

In the early game, Bill should prioritize to punish solo laners by using Haunt on them to deal damage or possibly kill them if they have low health. If a teamfight happens he should use Maniac Laughter and Shiver to support his team if Haunt is on cooldown. Haunt should be used on healers to isolate them. Haunt should not be used on the entire enemy team because they will kill you or be woken up by your teammates. Deal is very useful during fights because you can deal a lot of damage to the enemy team while disabeling that hero.

Triangle Symbolic can be used to move across the map and to Haunt unexpecting enemies. This ability will be primarily used for mobility and to punish solo laners or maybe someone channeling an objective.

Bill's heroics can affect all enemy heroes at once. Nightmare Realm is more offensive and can grant more time in Physical Form, while Weirdmageddon offers a more disruptive heroic that makes Bill threatening.

Chromie :says something time stuff

Bill :Ahhhh.. As if shooting star wasn't annoying enough already, it seems that time baby also has an annoying twin sister!

I like your interpretation of Bill Cipher too. I'm glad you cited my concept when using some of my ideas for your own. It looks pretty interesting.
Also after reading through your voice lines, I thought that the Stan concept Spyro2002 made should have a special interaction with Bill.
"Admit it, you missed me."
"But My Aim Is Getting Better!"
