[New Character] William Character Spotlight

William is ready to show off all the pitches he's got in his arsenal when he heads to Lumia... Ballpark?

Now let's check out William's skills! The Fireballer has quite the repertoire and will use every pitch he has to win and survive.

[h2]Auto Attack(s)[/h2]

Throw



[h2]Passive: No Hitter[/h2]





William's normal attacks bounce a ball off his enemy every few seconds and remain on the ground. His movement speed is increased when walking towards the baseball. Picking up a baseball will cause his next normal attack to deal extra damage. No Hitters stack after being picked up.

[h2]Fastball (Q)[/h2]





Passive: Fastball can only be used when No Hitter is fully stacked.

William's attack speed is increased for a bit and he throws an additional baseball, dealing extra damage. Extra damage from No Hitter only applies to the first attack.

[h2]Windup (W)[/h2]





William pitches in the targeted direction, dealing damage and slowing enemies. The ball returns to William, dealing the same damage and slow effects on its way back and granting him a No Hitter stack. Targets hit by the ball both on the way out and on the way back are stunned.

Mound: William creates a mound, knocking enemies back. While standing on the mound, No Hitter balls return to William and his attack range is increased.

[h2]Sliding Catch (E)[/h2]





Passive: Retrieving a baseball increases William's defense for a few seconds.

William slides to the targeted baseball. This skill is not affected by cooldown reduction.

[h2]Signature Fireball (R)[/h2]





William leaps into the air and throws his signature fireball to the targeted area, dealing damage and slowing enemies. Enemies in the center are slowed more. Four balls bounce from the center after impact and remain on the ground.

William will be out June 24th, so don't forget your ticket to see William's season opener!
