Delia is the daughter of Raena, the Lady of Thorns, and the Dragon Knight, making her Princess of King's Crest. Delia and her brother Verick sealed the Dragon Knight away within a statue in the middle of Dragon Shire, taking up the fight against Queen Nightshade to protect the kingdom from her infestation. When the Raven Lord attacked King's Crest, Verick and Delia combined their powers to awaken the Dragon Knight. However, the Raven Lord was able to possess him and instead defeated the two.

Now robbed of her powers and the singularity that held her realm together, Delia, her brother Verick, and the Raven Court upstart Orphea, work together to forge an alliance that may help them rebuild their ravaged lands.

Delia is a Tank that amplifies her Crowd Control abilities by absorbing damage. Delia does not use mana, instead, her abilities increase in effectiveness as she gains Moonlight which she acquires by absorbing damage done to her. When her brother, Verick, is present, she may gain bonuses.

Combat Trait

D - Moonlight Fortitude

Cooldown: 25 seconds
Gain Unstoppable and an 800 point Shield that lasts for 6 seconds, absorbing all incoming damage and generating Moonlight. Delia gains 1 Moonlight for every 14 damage she absorbs.

Each point of Moonlight increases the duration of all Delia's Disabling Effects and her Ability Damage by 0.5%. After 5 seconds of not generating Moonlight, loses 10 Moonlight per second.

Passive - Children of the Thorns
When Verick is present and alive on the battleground, Delia's Hearthstone channel is reduced to 5 seconds. Additionally, Verick and Delia may use each other's Hearthstone.

Delia's bread and butter. The shield gives her a hefty survivability increase through its unstoppable and it can absorb damage to enhance her Disabling effects' (Slows, Blinds, Stuns, Silences, Sleep, Damage Reductions, etc.) duration and her Ability damage by generating Moonlight. The Unstoppable is NOT attached to the Shield and it will last its full 5 seconds. The passive trait is a minor buff when Verick, her brother, is picked alongside her on the same team.

Primary Abilities

Q - Shattering Impact

Cooldown: 9 seconds
Delia leaps into the air and lands in an area, dealing 125 damage and Stunning enemies for 0.5 seconds. The impact area deals 143 damage over 4 seconds and Slowing enemies hit by 20% for 1 second.

Delia's main CC ability. Provides a hefty stun and a considerable slow after its impact. The speed is similar to Muradin's Dwarf Toss and the impact radius is similar to Jaina's Blizzard. The range is 6.5. Delia is NOT unstoppable while in the air.

W - Heavenly Bastion

Cooldown: 12 seconds.
Activate to explode, dealing 135 damage to all enemies around Delia and reducing affected enemy Heroes' Spell Power by 25% for 4 seconds. Delia is healed for 30% of the damage dealt, increased to 125% against Heroes.

Delia's main source of self-healing. Deals a hefty amount of damage and the spell power DR is useful too. The Radius is around Johanna's W. The Spell Power reduction does NOT affect Moonlight generation. Delia's D will still count the full damage when generating Moonlight (can be changed if this is too problematic so that she'll sacrifice effectiveness for survivability).

E - Shield Bash

Cooldown: 9 seconds
Delia dashes a short distance, dealing 201 damage and stopping at the first enemy Hero hit, Stunning them for 1 second and creating a shockwave in a cone behind them that deals 56 damage and Knocks enemies away.

A pretty straightforward ability. The dash distance is around ETC's slide range. The dash STOPS if it hits an enemy hero. The Slow is massive and is a good lockdown and isolation ability. The area of knockback is around Sgt. Hammer's knockback.

Heroic Abilities

R1 - Lunar Eclipse

Cooldown: 80 seconds
Delia channels the power of the moon for 1.5 seconds and then exploding in a large area around her, dealing 200 damage and reducing their vision by 80% for 1 second.

After channeling, Delia explodes in a radius similar to Blaze's combustion. The effects are pretty straightforward with vision reduction

R2 - Lullaby of the Night

Cooldown: 80 seconds
Delia commands the moon to shine upon a large area for 2.5 seconds, Slowing enemies by 5% every 0.5 seconds up to 25%. Enemies at the end of Lullaby of the Night are put to Sleep for 2 seconds. When they are awoken, their Spell Armor is reduced by 20 for 2 seconds.

A more of a setup ultimate. The area is around Tyrande's Starfall and the periodic slow duration is also affected by Moonlight. The sleep comes at the END of the area effect (like Mei's Blizzard). The spell armor reduction is a debuff so it's affected by moonlight.
