Welcome back to our Hero Spotlight series! In this edition, we'll delve into Lady Geist's extraordinary abilities and her profound impact on the battlefield. Lady Geist, once a prominent figure in High Society, now wields a compelling array of skills that allow her to drain the essence of her foes to sustain herself and manipulate the battlefield to her advantage. Join us as we uncover the mysteries behind Lady Geist's unparalleled powers and her quest for a second chance at reliving her youth.

Background

Once, Lady Jeanne Geist was the toast of the town. But as time passed and her beauty faded, she found herself further and further from her glory days in High Society until finally, she was nothing more than a frail woman in a nursing home, telling stories of a glorious past. And that's when Oathkeeper revealed himself. A powerful spirit from another plane, Oathkeeper offered her a path to reclaim her past glories, and he could restore her youth; all she had to do was drain the essence of living to sustain herself. Geist was torn. Obviously, murder was ghoulish business, and undoubtedly, Oathkeeper was not an entity that could be trusted, but the thought of having a second chance of reliving her youth was too good to pass up. And so she concocted a plan; after making a pact with Oathkeeper, she would bind and ward him, limiting his influence and pull over her. Oathkeeper would still get fed but on her terms, not his. However, as the years have turned to decades, the strength of the Ward has weakened, and Oathkeeper hungers more than he ever has in the past.

Hero Overview

Expending health to achieve devastating effects is the source of Lady Geist's power. When running low, she can drain the life out of her rivals.

Essence Bomb

Lady Geist sacrifices some of her health to launch a bomb that deals damage after a brief arm time. Self-damage type is spirit and can be mitigated. The first upgrade increases the radius by two meters. The second increases the damage by +60. The third upgrade makes it so bombs leave a toxic mess on the ground, dealing 22% of the original damage per second for 6 seconds.

Life Drain

Creates a tether that drains the enemy's health over time and heals her. The target must be in the line of sight and within the maximum range to drain. Geist can shoot and use other abilities during the drain, but her movement is reduced by half. The first upgrade grants +20 DPS, and the second increases the duration by 2 seconds. The third makes it so the target enemy is silenced while being drained.

Malice

Once again, Geist sacrifices some of her health, this time to launch blood shards that apply a stack of malice. Each stack slows the victim and increases the damage they take from her. The slow effect decreases over time. The first upgrade reduces the cooldown by 3 seconds. The second upgrade grants +40 Health to Damage. The final upgrade grants +6 blood shards.

Soul Exchange

Lady Geist swaps health levels with an enemy target. There's a minimum health percentage that enemies can be brought down to and a minimum amount of health received based on the victim's current health. The first upgrade reduces the cooldown by 40 seconds. The second reduces the minimum enemy health by 10%. The final upgrade makes it so on the cast, grants +40% Fire Rate and +40% Spirit Resistance for 8 seconds.

Lady Geist's gripping story and formidable powers make her a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Her ability to drain the life force of her enemies and sacrifice her health for devastating effects sets her apart as a unique and compelling hero. As the strength of the Ward weakens and Oathkeeper hungers for more, Lady Geist's tale continues to unfold, adding a layer of depth and intrigue to her character. Stay tuned for more updates on Lady Geist and her timeless quest for glory.
