Kuzenbo – King of the Kappa Reveal
Dev Backstory: The developers were looking at adding mythological creatures like Kappa and Tanuki, but needed a named god to introduce them. Kuzenbo is the lesser known king of kappas.
Kappas have a water bowl on the top of their head. They draw their power from it. If you bow to a kappa, they will bow back and lose the water and lose their power. This forms a key part of Kuzenbo’s kit.
Role: Guardian
- Passive: Water Bowl – Fills up as he takes damage. For every 2% of health he gains 1% true mitigation. Fills up visually. He loses the water over time, and can lose stacks from CC displacement abilities as well (cuts stacks in half).
- Ability 1 Nei Nei Kappa – Ricochet attack that summons the Neinei Kappa. Passes through minions and jungle camps doing damage. If it hits enemy god, it stops and spawns an ally that fights with you. Has its own HP and can tank damage.
- Ability 2 Shellspikes – Reflects damage for duration. Also shortens the cooldown of Nei Nei Kappa based on number of hits he takes.
- Ability 3 Sumo Slam – Charge that can take an enemy god with them, grab them, and keep running. Can turn slightly. If you hit them into a wall, they take additional damage.
- Ultimate Watery Grave – CC immunity for duration. True omni-directional movement and movement speed increase. Water deals damage and pushes people back. Does majority of damage at activation but half damage if you hit someone after activation.
