New Character
New Hunter
Name: Melly Plinius
Identity: "Queen Bee"
Character Background: It was only when she was stung in the old apiary, a place that had once held their sweetest memories, as venom surged through her veins and she writhed at the brink of life and death, that Melly Plinius finally understood that the final metamorphosis of human nature is always born from betrayal.
External Trait:
[Swarm of Insects]
"Queen Bee" and her Swarm of Insects exist in a symbiotic bond. The swarm remains active throughout the match and can shift between several states.
Dormant State
In Dormant State, the Swarm of Insects does not affect Survivors.
Predatory State
When the Swarm of Insects moves, it enters Predatory State. In this state, touching a Survivor drains 12 Energy from them, granting "Queen Bee" the Assimilation effect, which increases Movement Speed by 15% for 2 seconds. The same Survivor can only be affected again after 1 second.
Synergy State
When the Swarm of Insects is actively recalled, it enters Synergy State, merging with "Queen Bee." During Synergy State, "Queen Bee's" Vaulting Speed increases by 10%.
Tier 0 Ability:
[Perception - Movement]
By holding the ability button, "Queen Bee" directs the Swarm of Insects' movement along a chosen path. The Swarm of Insects travels at 15 m/s, with a maximum range of 28 meters. She can set a new path at any time to override the current one, or click the button again to recall a dispersed Swarm of Insects.
[Stinger]
"Queen Bee" spends 35 Energy to condense a Stinger, which will launch forward after a short delay. If it hits a Survivor along its path, it deals 0.5 times the Normal Attack damage.
Tier 1 Ability:
[Reciprocate]
When the Swarm of Insects is away from her, "Queen Bee" can spend 15 Energy to fly directly to it and enter Synergy State. Cooldown: 18 seconds
[Reflexive Sting]
At the end of Reciprocation, while switching back to her main body, "Queen Bee" can spend 25 Energy to fire a Stinger with no delay.
Tier 2 Ability:
[Hive Cluster]
When flight ends, "Queen Bee" forms a Hive Cluster. She can control the cluster to move at 12 m/s. After being in this state for 0.5 seconds, Energy will begin draining at 6 Energy per second. "Queen Bee" can end this state by voluntarily switching back to her main body, spending 25 Energy to fire an instant Stinger, or when Energy drops to 0. Cooldown: 18 seconds
Event Shop
