- Total Hero hitpoints and shielding should be between 500 and 800.
- Try to balance damage and defensive (i.e. healing or shielding) abilities to numbers respective of these limits.
- Each Hero must have at least 1 missile ability or use a missile-based attack.
- Abilities must be scaled in terms of cooldown or energy/shields/life cost with relation to their effect, damage, and viability for use.
- Each Hero must have 4 abilities, including 1 "ultimate" ability. You are allowed 1 passive ability (this excludes abilities which are activated and then give a duration buff or bonus).
- Movement speed should be between 2 and 3. Scale this in relation to your Hero's total health points and shields.
- Invisibility is allowed as long as the Hero cannot attack or use abilities during the duration of the effect.
- Heroes may have attributes, which are listed in a separate section of this post.
- Spawning abilities should create units which complement your Hero and should not simply create swarms and swarms of units. This is supposed to be a simple arena map, not an epic war.

The following is a list of heroes that will be playable in the map. Heroes are named after their creators.
// CARDINAL
- Model(s) Used: Archon, Fire and Psi Storm, and another, so far unknown.
- Health: 50
- Shields: 580
- Damage: TBC: The normal archons attack but with 33/33/33 to cause an elemental effect.
- Armor: TBC
- Niche/Playstyle: Spellcaster/fighter. Elementalist. Earth, Wind (storm) and Fire.
- Abilities: 4 Active (subject to change)
[Q] Gale Force: An AoE Spell which effects a Cone shaped area. Units movement speed is slowed to 0 over 2 seconds, and then they are 'pushed' or 'blown' away from the Caster Point. Alternatively, this will spawn a Totem like unit, which attacks but has a similar knockback effect to above. This ability might cause damage through randomly generating a storm (lightning strikes). That is undecided however.
[W] Earth Spell (unnamed): Got a few options here. Either something which creates a 'Wall'. This wall collapse after a few seconds and deals x damage to anyone near to it. Alternatively, a Stone Prison, which traps a target unit for a few seconds. Final idea, would be a defensive buff which slows the Archon down, but increases shield armor by a ridiculous amount.
[E] Conflagrate: The Fire Spell. It will be an effect - target point. And will launch a yamato missile which explodes at the target area knocking back and dealing damage to anyone hit by it. It will also have a chance (or definitely) leave behind some burning flames which deal damage over time to people caught in the region. Alternative idea is to recreate the mission in which the Protoss are flaming that planet. Only make the effect 2 grid squares wide and have it slowly move away from the Archon to the direction it was cast, doing severe damage over time.
[R] Final ability (unnamed): Either a way for the Archon to change into a permanent element... For example every time you cast this ability he cycles through Fire > Storm > Earth > Fire. When in a particular mode, some element spells become stronger and others become weaker.
// DEO

[Q] Blink: Instantly teleports in the direction specified, up to a maximum distance of 6. No cooldown, but each cast consumes a charge that takes 30 seconds to recharge. Max 3 charges.
[W] Khala Strike: Calls down a beam of light that inflicts damage on the targeted opponent. Also has a blinding effect, reducing sight range to 2 for 15 seconds. 10 second cooldown. Blindness cannot be refreshed. Once Blindness ends, foes gain immunity to Blindness for 15 seconds.
[E] Void Strike: Blasts the targeted area with raw power from the Void, creating a persistent effect that deals 100 (+50 Psionic) damage over 15 seconds and slows foes caught in it. 30 second cooldown.
[Passive] Twilight Power: Energizes nearby allies, granting them an additional 50 shields and increasing their shield regeneration by 1.0 per second. If no allies are in range, this passive instead increases Deo's shields by 100 and shield regen by 2.0 per second.

- Damage: X (regenerates energy for half of X)

[W] Creeping Death: Lingie launches a bomb like device that spawns an area of creep at the target area. Deals damage to anything it hits, while also reducing enemy movespeeds in the area of the creep. Lingie's speed is also minorly increased on the area of the creep. The creep dissapates after five seconds. Deals moderate AoE damage to the area of the explosion. The slows shouldn't be life threatening, about 15~20%. Lingie's speed boost should be about 5~10% of his flat movespeed. Medium cooldown.
[E] Metabolic Boost (Passive): Lingie's evasion is increased by 10~20%.
[R] Fury of the Swarm: Same effect as Creeping Death, except a revolver of Zerg Drop Pods are launched at Lingie's general position, and randomly strike around him, giving the same creep buffs and debuffs also as Creeping Death. The pods deal significantly more damage however. There should be about either 15 or 20 pods dropped, with an interval of about a second between each pod dropped. These pods SHOULD NOT isolate enemy heroes and drop on them. The area around Lingie should be about a screen tall, max. Large cooldown.

// UNHOLYURINE
- Model(s) Used: Hydralisk with Infestor's leaving a trail of gunk effect preferably. Second choice Infestor.
- Health: 650
- Shields: 0 (completely biological?)
- Damage: ugh you guys made it so weird.. i have no way of guessing an average attack.. so right now.. i don't know..but an above medium ranged attack that looks like roach's attack.
- Armor: read above
- Niche/Playstyle: Ranged annoyance/killer with somewhat balanced stats/attributes/abilities (but a bit on the quick killer side)
- Abilities: 3 active, 1 passive
[Q] Corrosive Urine: Ranged AoE that Covers an Area that slows units/heroes down and deals DoT for 5-10 seconds? (more focused on slowing people down).. Either that or: an AoE attack that, once infected, slow units down and DoT/removes all armor effects for the duration. Use bane's explosion effects or something like that. Cooldown/Energy requirements = okay
[W] (Spawn) Urine Bomb: Think Infestor's Spawn Infested terran, where they can be spit a fair distance away as an egg. After 1 second, banelings with centrifugal hooks should spawn and attack closest unit(s). Make it so that the bombs are fast, but still fairly outrun-able. Also, make them fragile so that fast players can take them out. Damage should be fairly good. Banes, once spawned, should last 15-30 seconds so they can be set up earlier if needed (but can't spawn a mass of them). Works well in tandem with the first spell. Final note is that there shouldn't be any cooldown for them. They should be entirely energy dependent so that a player can wait and store energy to spam them.
[E] Unknown: Unknown.
[R] Unknown: Unknown.

)... I think that Movement speed should be given more freedom, maybe 1.5 to 3.0. But just stress the point about balancing Movespeed in relation to Hitpoints.
"
boring... So yeah, the Earth Spell is designed to either Trap an individual unit, or to create a wall which blocks multiple units (and missiles obviously). I figured that my Hero needs something defensive. Both ideas so far for Earth have synergies with Wind and Fire.
