Eudora
Eudora hero Revamped

Adjustments applied to Superconductor, Forked Lightning, Ball Lightning, Thunder's Wrath.

All Documented Modifications (5)
Designer Note
Hero Feature: A mentor of the Magic Academy who excels at mastering thunder power. For the Eudora revamp, we preserved her ability to instantly eliminate single targets while enabling AOE burst or sustained damage through different combos, making her adaptable to more battle scenarios.
Eudora's skills inflict Superconductor on heroes and creeps hit, and can trigger additional effects against those already affected by Superconductor.
Eudora casts forked lightning in a fan-shaped area in front, dealing damage to enemies within. If the target is affected by Superconductor, a lightning chain will connect the target to Eudora after dealing damage. The lightning chain deals damage over time and inflicts extra damage when it ends.
Eudora strikes the target with an orb of lightning, reducing their Magic Defense while dealing damage and stunning them. If the target is affected by Superconductor, the lightning orb will bounce to nearby enemies, dealing damage, stunning them, and reducing their Magic Defense.
Eudora calls down a blast of lightning on the target area, dealing damage to targets within. If the target is affected by Superconductor, the lightning orb will strike the target's location after a brief delay.
