User blog:Emptylord/Archived/Stefan the Ironspine Ripper

Noxus has always been decisively xenophobic, and to find a Yordle who finds himself at home in the sinister city-state is a marvel in itself. But the Noxans were never ones to pick a fight they could not win.

On a pilgrimage, Stefan fell ill with a virulent plague that threatened his life. His plight lead him to Noxus in search of aid from one Dr. Edmundo, although the treatment did little to better his condition. For a while, the procedure had seemed a complete success: but the Ironspine Ripper sought differently. For it was that Stefan had become a yordle of two parts.

The core mechanic hinges around the ability to soak burst verses dealing damage: with both his spell blocker and his primary damage being the same skill. Champions with low cooldowns, such as Urgot, Vladimir and Evelynn, are strong counters to Stefan due to their ability to cripple his damage output without "wasting" skills. In the same sense as Morgana and Orianna, Stefan is a support-carry hybrid; with Holy Water being his Black Shield (although with distinct dissimilarities).

Stefan has very versatile build paths, with scalings that cater for AP, AD, On-hit and Fighter: play to taste.

Reflection Behaviour
The reflections are not pets nor minions, in that they cannot be controlled independently of the champion nor will attempt to do anything of their own free will. Reflections flock around Manthas, and will obey his commands.
 * Reflections obey Manthas' movement commands, attempting to move toward the same destination.
 * When Manthas casts an ability: reflections will mimic the casting animation for no damage. This includes Disappearing Act, where reflections will blink to locations around Manthas' target. Reflections will consume mana when they cast abilities.
 * When Manthas attacks: reflections will attack his target also, dealing 40% of Manthas' attack damage, benefit from Manthas' life steal and armor penetration and will apply the effects of Hat Trick.
