 —Cleopatra

Cleopatra harnesses the ancient power of Egypt to control the battlefield with beams of light, deadly sandstorms, and relentless mummies.

## Abilities

**Blessing of Ra (Innate Passive):** Every 10 seconds, Cleopatra gains a charge of Ra's Blessing, up to a maximum of 3 charges. Each charge enhances the effect of one of her basic abilities.

* **Eye of Ra (Target Unit):** Cleopatra channels the power of the sun god Ra, focusing a beam of light onto a single enemy, dealing 50/90/130/170 (+20% of Cleopatra's ability power) magic damage per second for 3 seconds. If Eye of Ra is empowered by Blessing of Ra, the beam will also pierce through the target, dealing 50% of the damage to all enemies in a line behind them. Enemy heroes killed by Eye of Ra have its cooldown refreshed.
* **Mummy's Grasp (Target Area):** Cleopatra summons a mummy from the sands at the target location, which lasts for 8/10/12/14 seconds. The mummy will prioritize attacking the last enemy champion hit by Cleopatra's abilities, dealing 30/55/80/105 (+15% of Cleopatra's ability power) magic damage with each attack. If Mummy's Grasp is empowered by Blessing of Ra, the mummy will also apply a 20/25/30/35% slow to its target for 2 seconds with each attack. Within the radius of the Sandstorm, mummies gain 50% HP regeneration and 25/30/35/40% attack speed.
* **Sandstorm (Target Area):** Cleopatra conjures a massive sandstorm in an area, which expands over 3 seconds and lasts for a total of 8/10/12/14 seconds. Enemies caught in the sandstorm take 24/36/48/60 (+10% of Cleopatra's ability power) magic damage per second and have their vision reduced by 20/25/30/35%. If Sandstorm is empowered by Blessing of Ra, enemies within the sandstorm are also silenced for the first 2 seconds.
* **Curse of the Nile (Ultimate, Area Target):** Cleopatra calls upon the ancient gods, unleashing a torrent of water and sand at the target location. The torrent deals 200/350/500 (+40% of Cleopatra's ability power) magic damage to all enemies hit, and knocks them back. Curse of the Nile then leaves a lingering area for 4/5/6 seconds, slowing enemy movement speed by 30/40/50% and reducing their healing received by 50%. If Cleopatra has any remaining charges of Ra's Blessing when she casts Curse of the Nile, she consumes all charges to increase the damage by 10% per charge and extend the duration of the lingering area by 1 second per charge.

## Backstory

Cleopatra VII Philopator, the last Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, was born in 69 BCE to the Ptolemaic dynasty. Legend has it that her birth was marked by a series of divine events, indicating the favor of the Egyptian gods. The tale of Cleopatra's divine blessing began long before her birth, during the reign of her father, Pharaoh Ptolemy XII Auletes.

It was said that during a great drought, Ptolemy XII Auletes was visited in a dream by Sobek, the crocodile-headed god of the Nile. Sobek warned him that the Nile would only return to its abundance if the pharaoh made a sacred vow. Ptolemy XII pledged to dedicate his firstborn child to the service of Egypt and the gods. Sobek was pleased, and the drought ended soon after.

Years later, when Cleopatra was born, the Nile's waters rose higher than they had in a century, heralding the arrival of a special child. This extraordinary event was seen as a sign that the gods had blessed her, specifically Sobek, who had a special connection with the Nile and the fertility of the land. The priests declared that Cleopatra was destined to rule over the Nile and all of Egypt.

As Cleopatra grew up, her divine blessing was evident. She was exceptionally intelligent, speaking multiple languages, and was well-versed in politics, mathematics, and astronomy. Her beauty was said to be otherworldly, with a charm and grace that captivated all who met her.

When Cleopatra was eighteen, her father passed away, and she ascended to the throne. As co-ruler with her brother Ptolemy XIII, Cleopatra faced many challenges. Yet, the gods' favor was evident in her life, and she emerged victorious in every struggle. It was said that in times of crisis, she would seek guidance from Sobek and the other Egyptian gods in the temples, who would bestow their wisdom upon her.

Cleopatra's reign was marked by prosperity and stability, as the Nile flowed strongly, bringing life to the land. Under her rule, Egypt regained its strength and power, its people rejoicing in their Pharaoh's divine connection. Cleopatra, aware of her divine blessing, never shied away from invoking the gods' favor when needed, further solidifying her rule and the love of her people.

The legend of Cleopatra's divine blessing by Sobek and her rule over the Nile and Egypt persists to this day, as an enduring symbol of the power and mystique of the last Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt.
