Imperius

Archangel of Valor

Store Description: Imperius is the leader of the Angiris Council, a fearless combatant that always leads the charge in battle, and a steadfast defender of heaven.

Mouse-Over Description: An unstoppable main tank with excellent engage, perfect for setting up a kill on a crucial target.

Actual Description: Imperius is an ultra-durable main tank who specializes when up against overwhelming odds thanks to his trait and healing abilities. He is meant to dive into the enemy team and set-up kills, as he lacks peeling potential and escape potential, and makes up for this with his strong engage and ability to self-cleanse when low on life.


Health 2400 (+4%/lv)
Health Regen 5/s (+4%/lv)

Mana 500 (+10/lv)
Mana Regen 3/s (+4%/lv)

Attack Speed 0.9/s
Attack Damage 105 (+4%/lv)
Attack Range 2 (Longer than other melee characters, to account for his Spear.)

Combat Trait

1
Heart of Valor
Functionality Imperius's Halo gains one shining light on it for every stack of armor.

When Imperius is reduced to 30% of his maximum health or lower, he becomes unstoppable for 1 second, and gains double armor from this trait for 3 seconds. (60 second cooldown)

Passive: Gain 5 armor for every enemy hero within range 5 of Imperius, to a maximum of 25 armor.

2
Sacred Flame
Mana 40
Cooldown 6 seconds
Range The length of Weighted Pustule (Stukov W) with 4 times the width. Projectile speed is slightly faster than that of Death Shroud (Malthael E)

Launch a pulse of flame forward, dealing 70(+4%/lv) damage to all enemies hit. At the end of the pulse, the fire re-ignites, dealing 200% damage to enemy heroes when it does. Each time an enemy hero is damaged by Sacred Flame, Imperius heals for 100(+4%/lv).
