New Refresh Concept: Scar
This poor, starving kitty needs food! Scar wants so badly to be a stealthy ambush DPS, but he has next to nothing that lets him do that, and so right now he does almost nothing. Let’s help this sneaky cat be the stealthy terror he clearly wants to be!
The Refresh
General
- Scar’s badges have been adjusted to give him 65% Armor Negation and 80% Crit Damage at most Red and Yellow ranks.
Base Stats
- Basic damage increased by 125%
- Skill power increased by 75%
- HP increased by 100%
- Base attack speed increased by 20%
- Base movement speed increased by 25%
Skills
White Skill - Long Live the King
- Increased damage by 300%
- Silence duration increased to 9 seconds
- Now Stuns enemies that are Scared
- Both the Silence and the Stun resist Evasion and Tenacity
"Scar roars, dealing X damage to all enemies and Silencing them for 9 seconds. Scared enemies are instead Stunned for 9 seconds.
While Scar is Prowling, this attack also Scares all enemies for 12 seconds.
The Silence and Stun cannot be dodged, Evaded, or have their durations reduced by Tenacity."
Green Skill - A Matter of Pride
- Increased damage by 500%
- Now deals 30% additional damage per 5% missing HP
- Initial cooldown reduced by 0.75 seconds
- Cooldown is reset when Scar reduces an enemy to 25% HP
"Scar bites the closest enemy, dealing X damage. This does 40% more damage for every 5% HP the enemy is missing. The remaining cooldown of this ability is reduced by 100% when Scar reduces an enemy below 25% HP.
While Scar is Prowling, this ability instead targets the enemy with the lowest maximum HP."
Blue Skill - Be Prepared
- This ability now activates again each time an enemy is KO’d, lasting longer if Scar himself dealt the finishing blow
"Scar begins combat Prowling, becoming Invisible for the first 12 seconds of combat and receiving 75% less damage from all sources while Prowling.
When an enemy is KO’d, Scar begins Prowling again for 8 seconds. If Scar was the one to KO the enemy, the duration increases to 12 seconds.
While Prowling, Scar is untargetable. The damage reduction from Prowling is less effective when damaged by enemies above level X."
Purple Skill - The Lion’s Share
- Scar now exclusively targets the enemy with the lowest maximum HP while Prowling, ignoring Distract effects
"Scar is healed for 35% of all the damage he deals.
In addition, while Prowling, Scar will focus his attacks on the enemy with the lowest maximum HP and will ignore all Distract effects for the duration.
The healing amount is reduced when damaging enemies above level X."
Red Skill - On the Prowl
- Instead of Stunning enemies, the effect instead grants 6 seconds of Prowling
- Bonus Prowling damage also dealt to Scared enemies
- Stat bonuses unchanged
"When Scar deals 10% or more of an enemy’s maximum HP in damage, he enters the Prowling state for 6 seconds.
While Scar is Prowling, he deals 150% more damage to Silenced or Scared enemies.
The extra damage has a chance to fail against enemies above level X."

Don’t want to be rude, but it really is funny

Below average, his purple is only good, but it’s not game-changing skill. And Vinny counters it.
Yeah, and he didn’t change the issue that genie can’t heal himself. Biiig problem there
It doesn’t make sense for Genie to grant his own wish, regardless of game mechanic…

He’s meant to be used alongside Ariel or Timon. Making him OP on his own would make those combos absolutely ridiculous.
And no one’s using Vinny, let alone going whaling to max out his Red skill. Come on, now.

Then so, neither nobody is using Genie just for that combo, waste of a slot. 
Oh… hah.

Aladdin, on the other hand, is terrible. Mind-bogglingly terrible. Possibly even in-dire-need-of-a-full-on-rework terrible. Let’s get crackin’!

Heck yeah! This diamond in the rough is even better than he has ever been before!
How 'bout next, can you do Maleficent? (She’s literally the worst control in the game and she SUCKS)
I think Oogie Boogie could use a refresh. He has synergy, but it doesn’t feel like he offers as much to the table as he could.
New Refresh Concept: Shan Yu
Shan Yu is supposed to be a frontline terror who makes his enemies regret putting up Shields, but he isn’t very good at doing either of those, since he dies too quickly, doesn’t do very much damage, and his anti-Shield bonuses aren’t nearly potent enough to truly punish Shield users. You know what time it is. Let’s do it!
The Refresh

- HP increased by 55%

Shan Yu is healed for 100% of all damage Hayabusa deals."
Blue Skill - Slashing Strike
- Now targets all nearby enemies
- Shielded enemies instead have their Shields destroyed and are Pierced for 8 seconds
"Shan Yu swipes at nearby enemies in a rage, dealing X damage and Stunning them for 11 seconds. This ability destroys enemy Shields before dealing damage, and enemies that had a Shield destroyed by this attack are also Pierced for 8 seconds.
Pierced enemies take 6% of their maximum HP in True damage each time they take Normal damage. Damage over time effects can only trigger this damage once per second.
The Pierce has a chance to fail against enemies above level X."
Purple Skill - Always in Command
- Basic damage increased by 50%
- Now also increases Shan Yu’s Armor Negation
- Can now trigger multiple times
“Each time Shan Yu is reduced below 50% of his maximum HP, his Armor Negation and Tenacity are increased by 50, and his Basic Damage is increased by X for the rest of the wave. This effect can stack without limit.”
Red Skill - Bow to Me

So up to this point, I haven’t been making use of Wakkatu’s tools to add relevant stat bonuses from Red Skills into the damage calculation, and in Maleficent’s case…it turns out those bonuses were extremely relevant and made a huge difference. For example, adding in the Skill Power bonus from her Red Skill made Dragon Fire jump up from ~15m damage to ~40m damage. Which is wild.
So from here on out, the damage increases I propose will have the maxed Red Skill in mind.
