Rhyolith

The Obsidian Lord

Lord Rhyolith is a heavy, slow-moving frontline disruptor who trades raw survivability for speed and damage as his armor shatters. He reshapes the battlefield by spawning erupting Volcanoes and flooding the ground with lava, turning objective areas into hazards for the enemy team.

Combat Trait

1
Obsidian Armor
Passive: Rhyolith begins combat encrusted in thick Obsidian Armor, granting 50 Armor (reducing all damage taken by 50%), but reducing his Movement Speed by 15%.

Whenever Rhyolith casts an ability or steps on an active Volcano, he loses 10 Armor (down to a minimum of 0), but gains 5% Movement Speed per stack.

Active (Cooldown: 30s): Rhyolith reshapes his armor, instantly regaining 40 Armor and slowing himself accordingly.

Primary Abilities

1
Concussive Stomp
Cooldown: 8s

Effect: Rhyolith violently smashes the ground, dealing moderate Fire damage in an area around him and slowing all enemies hit by 30% for 2 seconds.

Volcano Creation: The impact causes 2 Volcanoes to sprout from the ground nearby. Volcanoes act as small line-of-sight/pathing terrain blocks and last for 12 seconds.
2
Volcanic Eruption
ooldown: 10s

Effect: Activates the nearest Volcano. The Volcano erupts for 6 seconds, launching magma blasts at random enemies in range every 1.5 seconds.

Meltdown Effect: Enemies struck by magma blasts receive a stacking Meltdown debuff for 15 seconds (up to 5 stacks). Each stack increases all Fire damage taken by 5%.

Crater Interaction: If Rhyolith steps on an active Volcano, he crushes it into a Crater, sending a straight line of lava flowing outward. After 1.5 seconds, the lava stream erupts, dealing heavy Fire damage to anyone standing in its path.
3
Thermal Ignition
Cooldown: 12s

Effect: Rhyolith blasts a cone of cinders and heat in front of him, dealing light Fire damage.

Summoning Mechanics:

If an Enemy Hero is hit: Summons 1 Spark of Rhyolith. The Spark chases the hit hero, emitting a pulse of Fire damage every second. Sparks gain 10% increased damage dealt and taken every 3 seconds (stacks up to 5 times).

If Minions/Monsters are hit: Summons 3 Fragments of Rhyolith. Fragments have low health and last 8 seconds; if not killed in time, they detonate, dealing damage equal to their remaining health to surrounding enemies.

Heroic Abilities

1
The Floor is Lava!
Cooldown: 75s

Effect: Rhyolith slams the ground with immense force, fracturing the terrain and covering a large target area in boiling molten lava for 6 seconds.

Enemy Effect: Enemies standing in the lava take Fire damage every 0.5 seconds and are slowed by 25%. Enemies remaining inside the lava for longer than 2 seconds are rooted for 1.5 seconds.

Sinnergy: Rhyolith regenerates 2.5% of his maximum Health per second and restores 5 Obsidian Armor per second while standing on lava created by this ability.
2
Infernal Rage
Cooldown: 60s

Effect: Rhyolith shatters his Obsidian Armor completely, entering an ignited state for 8 seconds.

During this time, he gains 30% Movement Speed, his basic abilities cost no Mana, and their cooldowns are reduced by 50%. All of his movements leave a trail of fire behind him. When the effect ends, his Obsidian Armor is fully restored to 50.

Origin

Rhyolith is one of the most ancient elementals in existence, born from the primordial fires that forged Azeroth itself. He is responsible for the creation of new elementals in the Firelands and still possesses a searing hatred of the titans for what he considers their monumental arrogance in relocating him.
