Gneiss

Gneiss is a tank that can deal damage mid-range. He has higher than average defense, and can tank in hits. His abilities also deal high damage. Gneiss is slower and predicable, with each of their abilities having some form of a windup, and they have poor crowd control.
== Moveset ==
=== [Passive] - Stoneforged Armor ===
Gneiss can recover its stun by dealing damage, and is immune to stagger when he is below 50% stun. In return, Gneiss cannot recover its stun through normal means. Furthermore, Gneiss can periodically conjure a rock to orbit him, and has a limit of 2 rocks. Each rock boosts defense by 15%, and can be used to Quakehand.
=== [E] - Quakehand ===
Gneiss enhances his hammer with a rock, which increases the stun output of his click combos and enhances the next ability, while losing the 15% extra defense gained from the rock. Once activated, the bar for quakehand would go down overtime. Once the bar goes down, the enhancement disappears.
=== [Z] - Boulder Smash ===
Gneiss prepares a large boulder from the earth. He cannot move when this is active, but he can do two things with the boulder. If he leaves it active, the boulder would disappear, and the move would be put into a cooldown.
==== [Z + Z] ====
Gneiss throws the boulder at an opponent, which disperses into smaller rocks that hits other opponents behind him. If this move is enhanced by Quakehand, the opponent that was struck will be staggered, and the range of the smaller rocks would increase.
==== [Z + LMB] ====
Gneiss smashes the boulder, dealing strong damage and knockback at close-range. If this move is enhanced, the boulder deals extra damage and the knockback would go further.
=== [X] - Fault Line ===
Gneiss delivers a powerful stomp, which creates a tremor that debuffs movement by 11%. The further the enemy is away from it, the more damage it deals. If this move is enhanced, the fault line would detonate again, dealing damage once more and bringing the opponents towards Gneiss.
=== [C] - Seismic Rush ===
Gneiss lunges towards an opponent, striking them and dealing damage based on distance traveled and debuffs defense by 10%. He follows up with an uppercut from the hammer, dealing damage once more, and knocks the opponent upwards. If enhanced, Gneiss follows it up with a pillar that spikes towards the opponent, dealing damage once more and knocking them upwards again.
=== [V] - Tectonic Shatter ===
Gneiss charges up, and strikes the ground, creating a large shockwave that tears the ground apart and dealing damage based on how far the opponent was from Gneiss. This enables Quakehand without needing a rock.
