00:00What is going on, Summoners? We're back here today with another Champion Deep Dive.
00:05Today, we're talking about Count Nefaria.
00:11So, sit back and relax, because it's time to get into it.
00:24Count Nefaria enters the contest full of Ionic Energy.
00:29Granting him full immunity to Power Steal and Bleed effects.
00:35He also has 90% Shock and Incinerate resistance.
00:40When Count Nefaria would perform a well-timed block against a basic attack,
00:45he has a 100% chance to evade the hit.
00:49This also happens when blocking the final hit of a special with a well-timed block.
00:54This evade has a cooldown of 11 seconds.
00:58But, this cooldown is ignored when evading special attacks.
01:03When evading, Count Nefaria counterattacks, dealing a burst of Energy Damage,
01:08and inflicting two Energy Build-Up debuffs.
01:12If the opponent's special is punished after evading it,
01:16he inflicts an Energy Vulnerability debuff for 18 seconds.
01:20Now, whenever his opponent fills a bar of Power, they gain 15 stored Energy.
01:27Also, for every 1% of the opponent's Max Health or Power they would gain from a buff or passive,
01:34they gain 2 Energy.
01:37This happens even if the opponent's Regen or Ability Power rates are reduced.
01:42And when the opponent reaches 10 stored Energy,
01:46it's automatically converted into an indefinite Energy Build-Up debuff.
01:51Additionally, he gains 10 Ionic Charges when performing a well-timed block.
01:56But, he loses 20 when he would be inflicted with a Bleed effect by a non-Mystic Champion.
02:03Ionic Charges grant a scaling attack bonus, maxing out at 100 Charges.
02:09They also grant scaling Physical, Energy, and Degen Resistance,
02:14maxing out at 100 Charges.
02:17And upon reaching 100 Ionic Charges, he activates Ionic Overcharge for 17 seconds.
02:24While Overcharged, all of his attacks are non-contact and deal Energy damage instead of Physical.
02:31Additionally, the opponent's Regen and Ability Power rate are reduced by 95%,
02:38and he gains 60% of the Power denied in this way.
02:43Ionic Overcharge is paused during his Special Attacks,
02:47and he loses 100 once it expires.
02:50Now, let's check out his Special Attacks.
02:55On the final 4 hits of his Special 1, he devours 2 Energy Build-Ups.
03:01And, for each one devoured, he gains 16 Ionic Charges,
03:062% of his missing Health, and 9% of a Bar of Power.
03:11With a Special 2, on activation, he gains a Fury Passive for every 10 Ionic Charges.
03:18These last for 16 seconds and max out at 15 stacks.
03:23The final hit inflicts an Incinerate debuff for 6 seconds,
03:27but, against Mystic Champions, he inflicts a Plasma instead.
03:33Now, the first hit of any Special Attack deals a burst of Energy damage
03:38if it's the first or second hit after his Counter-Attack.
03:49The Special 3!
03:52At the end of this Attack, he gains 50 Ionic Charges and triggers Ionic Overcharge.
03:58He also pauses it for 10 seconds.
04:01Now, let's check out his Signature Ability.
04:05When Awakened, during Ionic Overcharge,
04:08he passively regenerates 80% of the Health denied to the opponent
04:13due to any reduced Regen Rate.
04:16Also, when the opponent gains 20% of a Bar of Power from a Passive or Buff within 0.5 seconds,
04:23he instantly gains 50 Ionic Charges and triggers Ionic Overcharge.
04:28This also triggers when they gain 8% of their max Health within 0.5 seconds for any reason.
04:34Now, let's get nefarious in the Champion Rotation.
04:38To begin, perform a well-timed Block to Evade and start inflicting your Energy Build-Ups,
04:44then Parry to gain Ionic Charges.
04:47While on Cooldown, you can still Evade the final hit of Special Attacks,
04:52and doing so inflicts your Energy Vulnerability.
04:55From here, launch your Special 1 to devour those Energy Build-Ups and enter Ionic Overcharge.
05:01Continue Evading and Parry to gain Ionic Charges.
05:05Then enter Ionic Overcharge.
05:07Continue Evading and punishing the opponent's Specials,
05:10and then launch your Special 2 to activate your Fury and unlock those big yellow numbers.
05:17If the opponent isn't already knocked out,
05:19just keep cycling your Special 1 and Special 2 to keep Ionic Overcharge active
05:25and keeping those Furies topped up.
05:28Now, if you're up against an opponent with Passive Power Gain,
05:32triggering Ionic Overcharge will reduce the Power by 95%,
05:37and grant Nefarious 60% of the Power denied in this way.
05:41And yes, this includes Mystic Dispersion,
05:44and that all makes it a lot easier to launch those giant Special 2s
05:48and keep those nasty Mystic Defenders at bay.
05:52And hey, that 95% reduction also triggers against Regen,
05:57and with the Despair Mastery, that Regen reversal can get pretty potent.
06:02Also, his Awakened ability allows him to Regen up to 80% of the Healing denied to the opponent,
06:08keeping that health bar as big and yellow as his numbers.
