Great Warrior Women, adept at fighting in close quarters and taking enemies from afar. She can weaken her enemies with her Javelins, then jump in with her spear and shield. If they survive long enough to try and escape, she can pick them off with her assortment if different strikes.
The idea here is that there are 3 ways to play Jessica. Ranged Auto attack focused, ranged ability damage focused, or melee to soak up some damage. Who knows though, perhaps there's a Melee Damage build in here somewhere.

I love the concept of switch mode from ranged to melee (it's something I always immagined for Daelin Proudmoore if he would be playable Hero of the Storm) - I'm sure it would add a lot of dynamics for that character.
But I agree with the previous comment, I think her second ulti should be summoning a Valkyrie. It doesn't necessary need to be just summoned creature in the way that Nazeebo summons his Gargantuan - it could work more like Arthas' Sindragosa.
Plus her enchanted spear (the Lightning Strike) could also do something more - maybe stun an enemy, or pierce few enemies in the line?
But in general it's very decent built concept. I like idea of enchanting attacks with magic.
Hey
Thanks for the reply. It's awesome to hear you that like it. Now coming back to it, I agree that having Valkyrie would be awesome to have.
To change this, I was thinking of removing the Freezing Strike ult and adding a Valkyrie spell. I'll maybe update it at some point if I get the time.
Thank you for the post though, I'm glad you like it.
Her ulties are simliar: spear throw. Where is summon valkyrie?
