Igneisis, the Blacksmith

---

No one knows much about Igneisis, the Blacksmith. He locks himself in his forge day and night, as busy as anyone can be. Some say he's a wizard and he creates spells in his forge. Others say he's just afraid of people. Most just accept the fact that he likes to be alone, and some even take the step to purchase his weapons. But all that anyone knows for sure is that his hammer can be heard ringing day and night for weeks without end.

The disarm is removed if the target receives either Shimmering Scimitar or Direcore Rifle.

Hero Introduction

Hey guys, and meet Igneisis, the Blacksmith! He fits under the category "Create a Hero without any "Magic" (this can either be skills that arent "magical in nature" like Bristleback skills that are only "physical" or skills that originate from science like tinker clockwerk timbersaw."

Igneisis is a support that has great early-game potential and peaks at around level 5-7. He does require experience, therefore it is unwise to put him in a trilane.

Stats wise, Igneisis has obvious pros as well as cons. His high HP pool and decent starting armour allows him to stand in the front lines. However, his slow movespeed and limited mana pool limits the amount of crazy things you can do.

His skills have obvious synergy with each other, with "General Repairs" being the crux of his skill set. "General Repairs" enable the hero to use his other abilities, with GR Igneisis can do nothing. Both his weapons are stronger than most abilities, however, that comes at the cost of an underpowered ult.

Igneisis peaks at level 5-7 where is weapons give his laning partner a crazy amount of damage. However, his weapons don't scale very well since the critical strike and silence strike only crits on base damage.

Leveling Igneisis shouldn't be too hard to grasp. Skill GR at level one, immediately repair one of your ally's weapons. This gives you time to repair 1 weapon before the rune fight at around 30 seconds before the horn. Next you want to max a weapon. This depends on what attack type your laning partner is.

Igneisis is also a very good aura carrier, his tanky nature allows him to stay in fights for longer than most. Support items like Medallion and Urn are also good because they come with mana regeneration.

That's all, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Uhm...hmm...I know this one...did you post that some time ago?
Not that it would be bad...I am just sure I have seen it before.

Hey Michi! This was for the group stages for the FoC last year!

I was just updating my hero collection so I had to make another post

Ah, I see. That explains a lot.

Cool idea. The {R} spell though. When I imagined your description it didn't look good in my imagination. I would prefer like a freezing field of blacksmith equipment. lol
