Chromie

Chromie in the Nexus

Chromie is a support hero who aids her team by preventing her enemies from afflicting them with harmful effects and maladies. A good Chromie player will look at their team composition and decide how much healing is enough, before allocating their talent points to not only keep their allies health up, but to present the enemies with difficult choices of their own. Managing Chromie's Mana can be difficult for newer players, but if you can master it, you can keep going seemingly forever. Taking advantage of her low cooldowns and powerful Abilities, Chromie can turn the tide of any teamfight.

The biggest concern with Chromie is her lack of hard CC. She can distribute it to the enemy through her Impose Template ability, but that relies on an enemy using CC on her team first. Additionally, her mana can become an issue if Chomie is zoned out of combat for a significant period of time. Eventually the 20% healing return wont be enough to keep her healing flowing.

Talents

Level 1:

- Temporal Efficiency: Increase the Mana return on overkill damage from 10% to 15% and the Mana return on overhealing from 20% to 25%.

- Restore Swiftness: Restore also removes slow effects from the target.

- Transferal Link: Chromie gains 10% movement speed while Temporal Link is active.

- Scouting Drone: Places a Scouting Drone at target location, revealing a large area around it for 45 seconds. This drone cannot be hidden and is killed by enemies with 2 Basic Attacks. Stores up to 2 charges.

Level 4:

- Production on a Budget: Reduces the Mana cost of Impose Template by 8 per status effect.

-  Desperate Times: Chromie gains 25% increased Basic Attack speed while under 25% Mana.

- Return to Youth: Restore can be cast on an enemy to reduce their attack speed by 20%.

- Healing Ward: Activate to place a ward on the ground that heals allies in an area for 1.95% of their max Health every second for 10 seconds.

Level 7:

- Restoration Protocol: After Restore successfully heals its target it will bounce up to 2 times to allies within its casting range of the last target healed, granting its new target 50% of its healing value. This effect can trigger up to 2 times.

- Template Design Assistance: Restore heals for an extra 50% when its target is currently templated by Temporal Template.

- Temporal Funnel: Increase the amount of Mana Regenerated by Temporal Link from 10 per second to 14.

- Cleanse: Activate to remove all stuns, roots, silences and slows from the target and reduce the duration of their reapplication by 50% for 2 seconds.

Level 10:

- Dragon Form: Chromie transforms into her true form, a mighty Bronze Dragon! She flies high into the air where she can survey the entire battlefield at once and regains 100% of her Mana. She cannot access her normal abilities while in this form, but gains access two new abilities, Wither Structure and Dragon Sight, which she can use to assist her team from above. The transformation ends after Chromie has run out of Mana, or 15 seconds have passed. She can end the Dragon Form prematurely by reactivating the Ability. Her Mana will return to the value it was at before activating this Ability.

- Flawless Temporal Copy: Chromie creates the ultimate temporal copy of one of her allies using her magic. She copies the current Hitpoints, current Mana, current Ability cooldowns, and current buffs active on target allied hero, but no hostile effects for 20 seconds. Reactivating this ability while in range of the templated hero will apply the template, restoring them to the copied state. If the template expires, this Ability's cooldown is reduced by 50%.

Level 13:

- The right time: Restore heals for 25% more, but now heals the target over 6 seconds.

- Group Bonding: Temporal Link can tether to the first allied hero struck as well, providing the same Mana Regeneration and healing the friendly target for the normal damage amount.

- Relentless: Reduces the duration of silences, stuns, slows, and roots against your hero by 50%.

- Shrink Ray: Activate to reduce an enemy Hero's damage by 50% and Movement Speed by 50% for 4 seconds.

Level 16:

- Temporal Chain: Upon establishing a successful Temporal Link, Chromie may cast another Temporal Link within 4 seconds without waiting for the cooldown. This effect will not occur off its own Temporal Links.

- 'Nearly' Frozen in Time: The movement speed penalty for Temporal Link is increased to 90% for the first second of its duration.

- Selective Templating: Casting Impose Template on an allied hero will only apply positive effects to the target. Casting Impose Template on an enemy hero will only apply negative effects to the target.

- Unrestricted Templating: There is no limit to the number of effects which can be templeted.

Level 20:

- Dragon Breath: Increases the duration of Chromies Dragon Form by 10 seconds, and reduces the Mana Cost of both Wither Structure and Dragon Sight by 33%. Also unlocks the Dragon Breath ability while in Dragon Form.

- Temporal Engineering: Chromie makes improvements to her copied hero before applying the copy. The allies Hitpoints and Mana are both improved by 50% or up to their normal maximum and Abilites that are on cooldown have their cooldowns reduced by up to 10 seconds.

- Storm Shield: Activate to give all nearby allied Heroes a Shield for 20% of their max Health for 3 seconds.

- Rewind Time: Activate to reset the cooldowns of your Basic Abilities and reduce the cooldown of your Heroic Ability by up to 15 seconds.
