Amalgama

Nexus Born

Aeons ago an ambitious Realm Lord tried to create the perfect warrior, summoning multiple heroes and artifacts from the multiverse and from different timelines into a single being. To do so the Realm Lord used his most powerful Relic as vessel. Unfortunatly, the summoning was too powerful and caused enormous destabilization to the Realm, forcing the Realm Lord to infuse all his Nexus Crest's Power into the chimerae, thus stabilizating it. However the damage was done and the Realm collapsed. The only survivor was the newborn Amalgama, lost in the nothingness between Realms until the recent events in the Nexus that tore a path it's fabric and allowed Amalgama to be finally free.

Amalgama is naivy and unstable, sometimes being driven by a will of helping people, sometimes driven by uncontrolable hatred. He have not yet mastered all his powers and despite being born in the nexus, is having his first impressions about this reality.

As a Master-to-be of the Nexus, Amalgama playstyle allows him to have advantages on the maps, being strong in holding objectives and controlling lanes.

Playing as Amalgama must feel like you are versatile since it has many sources of power. Using his extra ability he can engage or disengage, but the CD is long enough so he must choose well when to use it. The keystone allows him to protect the objective or the backline from divers but can also be used to give him and the tank a little sustain. The Damage from the Keystone gives him great power of zoning and must be used wisely.
His Soulstone ability combos with his trait highly increasing his power and choosing where to spend it is key to play Amalgama well. For exemple, if Amalgama consumes 5 Soul Shards and gathers 5 Chaos, his Heart of Azeorth beam can become a powerful threat or the Keystone can protect the team a lot longer.

Playing alongside Amalgama must feel like you have an off-tank that can protect zones and the backline so squishies can be safer than usual and can position better. Amalgama have some sustain and ways to keep himself alive a little so it probably won't be the focus in battles, allowing the healer to have different priorities.

Playing Against Amalgama requires to be aware of his Keystone zoning and it's wise to poke the enemy team to cause it to explode while your team is out of it's reach. Playing with your team spread removes from Amalgama most of his power since it is mostly aoe and specially Soulstone buff requires him to hit many heroes. Also it helps if your team have a good lane control to counter his.

a few voice lines

his voicelines represent his duality of personality, sometimes being kind and innocent and sometimes being furious and mad.
However, the most important thing about his voicelines is that they must be an overlay of many different voices synchronized and instead of being recorded by voice actors, Amalgama must have the voice of many Devs overlayed!

Getting Ready
-I am.. Amalgama!

Killing an oponent
-Why are we fighting?
-My hatred is unending!

Being killed
-I can not be killed for I am the Nexus!
-You are strong. When it's over, you too will be part of me.

Getting healed
-This feels... good.
-MORE!!!
