Vi gains +1/+0 whenever you play a card while she's either in play or your hand, up to a maximum of +8/+0. When she strikes something at 10 power or higher, she levels up, losing her power-stacking passive and instead gaining +8/+1, and dealing 5 damage to the enemy Nexus whenever she strikes a unit while attacking. Her signature spell is Vi's Vault Breaker

!!!2-mana | 0/2 | Challenger

-> ''"GET 'EM, CHOMPIES!" - Jinx

Small toothy gadgets made by Jinx for tripping up her foes. When discarded, it summons itself to the board.
----
* WeakButSkilled: Its stats are unimpressive, but being able to summon itself for free off a discard effect makes them useful as a distraction or meat shield.


Added DiffLines:

* MachineMonotone: His voice is booming, but there's not a hint of a change in inflection in any of his lines.


Added DiffLines:

* NotTheIntendedUse: While Ignition is ostensibly meant as a cheap Augment trigger, it sees just as much use as reusable discard fodder.

to:

----
* GlassCannon: Once you've resolved a 6+ cost spell, his Power shoots up through the roof, and anything that blocks him will probably get annihilated. His health remains subpar, though.
* MadScientist: Guy's clearly got a few screws loose, and isn't too fussed about the destructive consequences of his experimentation.
* TheyCalledMeMad: And they probably were right to revoke his license for it. He still nurses a grudge over it, though.




to:

!!!6-mana | 3/3


Added DiffLines:

A hextech researcher willing to put anything on the line for the sake of finding answers. When played, he casts Reckless Research, which discards your hand, draws 3 cards, and deals 3 damage to an enemy unit.
----
* WeakButSkilled: His stats are beyond horrid for the cost, but Reckless Research allows him to likely take out a weaker unit and refuel your hand at the same time, possibly enabling a few discard triggers along the way.
* VisualPun: A scientist who discarded his hands... who makes you discard ''your'' hand (of cards).

* AwesomeButImpractical: Gaining power for something as simple as a card draw sounds impressive, and she even gains power every turn just for the card draw at the beginning of the round. But with her weak health and the draw buff only lasting for the round, she doesn't have a lot of long term power unless the deck is designed to draw as many cards possible.

possible. Granted, being able to gain Power from the opening draw means she spends most of her time as a 2/2, which isn't terrible for a 1-drop.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chempunk_pickpocket_lor.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"You name it, I'll nick it."]]

-> ''Those cast below the City of Progress were expected to turn on each other. But instead they bonded, found their feet as one, and created a new home. It wasn't much, but it was theirs. Zaun.''

A Zaunite boy who's devised his own contraptions for relieving wealthy passersby of their coin. His Nexus Strike ability generates a copy of a random spell in the opponent's deck.
----
* TheArtfulDodger: A sump-dwelling Zaunite kid who's turned to pickpocketing to make ends meet. He doesn't seem to mind it, either.
* AwesomeButImpractical: His Nexus Strike ability has the ability to generate something really nice for you; however, without any keywords to help him actually land a hit, he'll probably just get blocked instead (although, his 3 Power is enough to take out a lot of early units, so it's not all bad).
* {{Bowdlerise}}: In his alternate artwork, his coin-grabber device is changed into something like a cattle prod, and the person he's stealing from is removed.




to:

!!!5-mana | 4/4



A reckless scientist with few restraints on his experiments. If you've played a 6+ cost spell this game, he gains +4 Power and Quick Attack.



!!Catastrophe_

!!Catastrophe_
!!Catastrophe
!!!1-mana | 30/30 | Overwhelm

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/catastrophe_lor.png]]
-> ''Your end is MEOW.''

A monstrous mech suit and Professor Von Yipp's magnum opus. Catastrophe is summoned by the spell Purrsuit of Perfection, which can only be played after you have played 20+ cards with different names in a single game.
----
* AwesomeButImpractical: Hands down the most powerful unit in the whole game by a '''long''' shot; with its enormous stats and Overwhelm, attacking with Catastrophe is an almost guaranteed OneHitKill. The problem, of course, is just how long it takes to bring him out.
* OneSteveLimit: Was formerly named "Cataclysm," but was changed around the time of Jarvan IV's addition to the game due to his Cataclysm ability also being made into a card.

[[caption-width-right:350:"Stand aside. An expert is at work."]]

--> Some officers rely on their instincts to crack a case. Others lean on their contacts. But Officer J.S. Harknor's strength is pure diligence, and paperwork. Lots and lots of paperwork.

An older and very dedicated member of the enforcers. When played, Harknor makes ''both'' players draw 1 card.

'''Harknor:''' "Rookie?! This mustache is older than your badge!
* TheDeterminator: He got to his current position through sheer hard work, even if he's not as naturally gifted a detective as the likes of Caitlyn.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He was first mentioned in Vi's colour story 'Interrogation 101'. Notably, it didn't mention at the time that he was a yordle.
* GreatDetective: He's got years of investigative work under his belt.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Unsurprisingly he doesn't get along very well with [[CowboyCop Vi]]

* WeakButSkilled: P&Z units don't have the same kind of raw stats that other regions afford, making full frontal attacks a lot riskier. But the amount of versatility spells from the region provide can offset that lack of damage and durability, sometimes allowing players to even overpower more traditionally powerful regions like Demacia and Noxus.

-->"You'd think the sumprats would look after their own."\\
"Too busy basking in their self-pity, brother."\\
"Shame. Ah... have you seen my purse?"

A young girl looking to exploit the generosity of passing Pilties. When played, she discards a card in her player's hand and draws 1.
----
* ArtificialLimbs: Her left leg is a metal prosthetic.
* FreudianSlip: When taken out, she lets off this vulgar exclamation.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: She's not actually sick (hopefully), but she puts up the act to con money off of those that would pity her. She has a stash of coins hidden behind her in her art to show how far she's gone with the act.

!!!4-mana | 4/4

Jayce when played gains either Quick Attack or Challenger of his player's choice. When 2 or more allied spells with a 6+ mana cost have been cast he levels up, gaining +1/+1, creating an Acceleration Gate (a 6-mana Slow spell that for the current round gives all allies +2/0 and either Quick Attack or, if they have it or Double Attack already, another random keyword) in his player's hand, and passively causing the first allied 6+ cost spell cast each round to cast an additional time. His signature spell is Jayce's Shock Blast.
