Gift of the Drowned Ones

Gift of the Drowned Ones
EFFECT RADIUS:	1500

Innate: Pyke's  maximum health cannot increase except through growth (per level), instead he gains「  1 bonus attack damage per 14 bonus health. 」「  bonus attack damage equal to 7.143% of bonus health. 」

Innate: Pyke gains 1 bonus movement speed while in the river.

Innate: Pyke stores 9% (+ 0.2% per 1 Lethality) of the post-mitigation damage he takes from enemy champions as grey health on his health bar, increased to 40% (+ 0.4% per 1 Lethality) while there are two or more visible enemy champions nearby. He can store up to 80 (+ 800% bonus AD) grey health, with an upper cap of 55% of his maximum health.

While Pyke is not visible to enemies, he rapidly consumes his grey health to heal for the same amount.

• Game elements that increase health based on the champion's health (e.g Overgrowth) will increase the health before getting converted by Gift of the Drowned Ones, thus granting increased bonus AD.
• Spirit Visage and Grievous Wounds take effect after Gift of the Drowned Ones's healing cap.
• Pyke's grey health does not have a time limit, and will stay on his health bar until Pyke leaves enemy vision or dies.
• Since Pyke's maximum health cannot be increased, Gift of the Drowned Ones reaches the upper cap of 55% of maximum health at 40.25 − 180.5 (based on level) bonus attack damage.
• Untargetable champions count towards Pyke's modified grey health storing.
• Amount of attack damage granted from list of items that grants health, converted with Gift of the Drowned Ones:

Bone Skewer

Bone Skewer
COST:	70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 Mana
COOLDOWN:	10 / 9.5 / 9 / 8.5 / 8
CAST TIME:	0.25
TARGET RANGE:	400 − 1100 (based on channel time)
EFFECT RADIUS:	550
WIDTH:	140 / 200

Active: Pyke charges while being slowed by 20% for up to 3 seconds to increase Bone Skewer's  range over the first second of the channel. Bone Skewer can be recast within the duration.

Recast: Pyke hurls his harpoon in the target direction, becoming unable to act while it is in flight and dealing physical damage to the first enemy hit and pulling them, during which they are also revealed, then slowing them by 90% for 1 second.

Physical Damage: 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 (+ 75% bonus AD)

Releasing the ability within 0.4 seconds causes Pyke to instead thrust his blade in the target direction, dealing the same damage to the closest enemy champion, or closest enemy otherwise.

If the charge is interrupted or completes without reactivation, Bone Skewer is cancelled and the ability is put on  full cooldown but refunds  75% of the mana cost. Bone Skewer's mana cost is also refunded if it hits an enemy champion.

• Like most projectiles, the flying Phantom cannot hit targets whose center is behind the position it originates at or beyond the position it catches up to Pyke at, but the spell can hit targets behind its origin as long as their hitbox radius overlaps with the original unit Phantom's 110-radius check at the end of its lifespan.

Death from Below

Death from Below
COST:	100 mana
COOLDOWN:	100 / 85 / 70
CAST TIME:	0.5
TARGET RANGE:	750
EFFECT RADIUS:	125 / 282.5  ×  100

Active: Pyke marks the target location with an X before striking it, executing enemy champions within the area that are below 250 − 550 (based on level) (+ 80% bonus AD) (+ 1.5 per 1 Lethality)  health. Other enemies hit and enemy champions above the threshold are instead dealt「 50% of the amount as physical damage. 」「 125 − 275 (based on level) (+ 40% bonus AD) (+ 0.75 per 1 Lethality) physical damage. 」

If Death from Below hits an enemy champion or at least one is killed inside the X by the execution or an ally, Pyke will blink to the center of the X. For the latter case Pyke can also recast the ability within 20 seconds at no cost.

Each successful execution grants one Your Cut to the last assisting ally, instead of its natural assist gold. Otherwise, Pyke is granted a Your Cut for each enemy champion killed inside the X by an ally during Death from Below's cast time.

• Applies raw damage to executed targets and area damage to targets above the threshold.
• Death from Below's execute against an enemy champion will aggro nearby enemy minions.
• Death from Below cannot execute clones. They are always dealt 50% physical damage.
• If the target is in a zombie state, does not enter the death state, or is killed by the ability while above the execution threshold, Death from Below does not grant Your Cut nor the recast.
• Spell shield does not prevent Pyke from blinking.
• If an enemy champion dies inside the X during Death from Below's cast time, Pyke will be shown as having received an assist in the kill feed, but this will not trigger takedown effects.
• Death from Below cannot be interrupted; Pyke will always appear at the target location if enemy champions are caught inside the X even if he is moved (e.g. by being displaced) during the cast time.
  • The only exception is if he is being suppressed, in which case he will not blink.

Map-Specific Differences

Arena differences ^edit

• Damage to enemies above threshold changed to 60%.
• Your Cut gold changed to 350.
• New Effect: Executing an enemy champion now grants Your Cut to the champion on the team who did not kill them.

Renowned harpooner from the slaughter docks of Bilgewater, Pyke should have met his death in the belly of a gigantic jaull-fish… and yet, he returned. Now, stalking the dank alleys and backways of his former hometown, he uses his new supernatural gifts to bring a swift and gruesome end to those who make their fortune by exploiting others—and a city that prides itself on hunting monsters now finds a monster hunting them.

A demonic spearfisher lurking within the darkness of the Blood Moon's mirror dimension, Pyke casts his hooked blade across an endless, liquid night, dragging demons up from the bottom of the world and into their human hosts. Inexorably tied to the Blood Moon, Pyke's sudden appearance in Ionia is a dire omen indeed…

An early PROJECT prototype, Pyke's untested upgrades left him violently unstable—too much so for his handlers, who junked him and threw his remains outside the walls of the City. Yet his cybernetic brain survived, rebuilding Pyke with salvaged scrap parts from all around him, and now their fragmented, overlapping memories mix with his own as they scream out for revenge.

A member of the Black Rose Group's leadership and a powerful spiritual medium, Pyke's mastery of psychic power allows him to jump across the barrier separating the living and the dead. This process has slowly eaten at his mind, leaving him a half-deranged killer screaming at literal ghosts.

Condemned to death for petty crimes, then saved by the king and uplifted to glorious knighthood, Pyke served in the war against magic until the very end, only to be left alone in an ashen world without. Gripped by violent madness, he challenges all who pass, accusing them of being the ruler who abandoned him.

Pyke remembers little before falling into the embrace of the Foreglow, only that he was defending his home. Waking in a new realm as the first Empyrean, he hears the whispers of other Pykes across the dimensions, taunting him from their homes. Why was his lost and not theirs? No answer will satisfy his searing rage, except vengeance.

This un-alived assailer has unfinished business: duking it out in the ring! Now, I can't say if returning from the dead proves the existence of the "Lands Beyond." (I don't get paid enough to PONDER MY EXISTENCE!) But if rumors are true, and this fighter's friend brought him back from the brink... then we're in for a HELL of a fight! Here's Pyke!

Pyke's fashion-forward fit impresses not only the rich and famous at the Gala of Souls, but all those watching at home—and his fans from the Lands Beyond. The edgy aesthetics and glossy flame motifs all but guarantee him a spot on the list of any discerning judge. After all, if Pyke's not on your list, you'll end up on his...

Campers flail their way to shore, desperate to escape the deranged lifeguard dragging them to the depths. Cutting through chaos and frantic coughing, Pyke's waterlogged whistle pierces the air. Filled with dread, ready to accept their fate, the campers are met by the fishman giving them two thumbs up. They all survived the race!

Trivia

• Pyke is one of 21 champions without a single  ability power ratio on any ability: Aatrox, Camille, Darius, Dr. Mundo, Draven, Garen, K'Sante, Kayn, Kled, Naafiri, Nilah, Olaf, Riven, Samira, Sett, Talon, Urgot, Xayah, Yone, and Zed.
• Pyke's name is a pun on the pole weapon and the predatory fish, both from PIE root *(s)pey- "sharp, pointy stick".
  • Namely, Pyke, the capital of the Iron Islands, an island state within the continent of Westeros; Pyke's inhabitants also worship a deity called "the Drowned God".
• Pyke will play his critical strike animation when applying Duskblade of Draktharr's bonus damage, additionally using the Toggle key bind (default [Ctrl] + [5]) will also display his critical strike animation on his next attack.
• Bone Skewer can be toggled to stop glowing with the Toggle key bind (default [Ctrl] + [5]). It will revert to glowing at 1:00 or whenever he respawns.
• Pyke's dance references the traditional Māori Haka warrior dance.
  • A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
  • He shares this dance with Rengar.
• Bone Skewer's shape is possibly based on those of harpoon-heads carved from bone, antler, & walrus ivory, though his is made of metal and magnified to be effective against gigantic in-universe sea-monsters.
• Pyke is one of the two champions in the game whose health can not be improved except through growth per level, the other being Kled.
• Pyke quite coincidentally shares his name with a location in George R.R. Martin's novel series A Song of Ice and Fire.
• Gift of the Drowned Ones grants 1 bonus movement speed to Pyke while in river.
• Gift of the Drowned Ones is 93.75% gold efficient.
  • 1 HP = 2.66... gold. (calculated with Ruby Crystal. 400g / 150 hp = 2.66)
  • 1 AD = 35 gold. (calculate with Long Sword. 350g / 10ad = 35g)
  • AD/HP (35 / 2.66) = 13.125 (this is to find where AD=HP, meaning 13.125 HP is equal to 1 AD. The equation would be 13.75[HP] = [AD])
  • Pyke's passive converts every 14 bonus hp into 1 ad. so if you divide 13.125 by 14, you get 0.9375, meaning each bonus HP you buy is only 93.75% the gold value you get for each AD.
  • 100% efficiency would be 8 AD for every 105 HP.
