Character abilities

Passive

Afterimage Hunger

Whenever Kairox damages an enemy champion, he creates a brief Temporal Echo at the location where the attack occurred. Up to three Echoes may exist. Repeated attacks from different angles charge the oldest Echo and empower a future Replay Strike.

Skill 1

Fang Through Time

Kairox dashes a short distance and performs a Chronoblade slash. The slash location is recorded. He may reactivate once to have a temporal copy repeat the slash from that original location for reduced damage.

Skill 2

Stolen Second

Kairox marks his current position, gains a small movement-speed increase, and may reactivate to return to that position. Health, cooldowns, resources, and status effects do not rewind.

Skill 3

Delayed Wound

Kairox strikes an enemy champion with both Chronoblades. Part of the damage becomes Temporal Damage that attempts to occur again after a delay. If Kairox dies first, the delayed hit is cancelled.

Ultimate

Three Seconds Ago

Kairox reconstructs the previous three seconds. Up to three eligible recorded attacks reappear as visible temporal echoes and replay in their original order. Replay attacks deal reduced damage, preserve their original direction, cannot critically strike, and cannot create infinite replay chains.

THE STORY

The Rewind Fang

Kairox was born among the Chronovores, predators from a realm where time does not always move forward. To his species, a moment is not something that disappears. It is something that can be hunted, stored, revisited, and consumed. Kairox learned to fight by remembering actions with impossible precision. A blade swing could remain behind after he had already moved. A missed attack could return seconds later. An enemy who believed they had escaped could suddenly find themselves standing inside the consequence of a decision they made moments earlier. Among the Chronovores, Kairox became infamous for hunting opponents across their own timelines. He rarely attacks twice from the same position. He rarely needs to. Every movement leaves behind another possibility, and every strike becomes something he may choose to unleash again.
