Description
Bastet’s motherly instincts flare up as soon as nearby allies
receive damage from any source, granting her a small movement
speed bonus and increased protections for a short time.
Embalm
Active 1
Bastet embalms an ally, making it impossible for that ally to die while
under the effect of Embalm. If the ally received enough damage to
the point where he SHOULD have died, he still perishes at the end of
the duration but grants the kill assist gold to their allies, and not the
enemy team. The kill gold usually granted to the enemy who hit the
target last is lost as a whole. She can’t target herself with this ability.
Perfume Bomb Active 2
Bastet pulls out a small packet of strongly scented perfume and
throws it on target enemy. The scent is so overwhelming that the
enemy is slowed for a short time and a small damage over time effect
is applied as their sense of smell is overloaded. The damage over
time effect lasts considerably longer than the slow and as long as the
damage over time applies, all allies can see the targeted enemy on
the minimap just as if the enemy was within line of sight of an ally.
Lioness’
Active 3
Ferocity
Tapping into her roots, Bastet releases the burning fire of her
lioness’ heart and dashes a small distance forward, sinking
her claws in the enemy god. This deals a moderate amount of
damage and stuns the target for a small amount of time.
Eternal
Slumber
Ultimate
Bastet stands up straight and slams her staff hard onto the ground,
summoning sarcophagi that erupt from the ground, forcefully embalming
all enemies in the area of effect and encasing them in the sarcophagi for
a short time. While encased, enemies are untargetable and cannot be
damaged in any way, but they cannot take any action either. After a few
seconds the targets break free from their prison, taking a small amount
of damage and becoming slowed as the bandages rip and tear at them.
