## Abilities

### Basic Attack

* Rapidly fires bolts from her dual crossbows for 20 damage every 1 sec with a range of 10. Lays a **Bear Trap** every 20 seconds.
* **Bear Trap** - Roots a minion in place for 4 seconds. Deals 50 damage, lasts 15 seconds.

### Perks

 **Art of the Hunt** (Unlocks at 20 XP)

* Add a single use **Trap card** to Diona’s deck every 25 seconds. The card alternates between Crossbow Trap and Decoy Trap each time you receive it.

* Decoy Trap - Taunts nearby enemy minions. Costs 1 mana, has 400 health, lasts 15 seconds.

 **Fetch!** (Unlocks at 60 XP)

* Every 10 seconds, Ruffles will run to an enemy Minion killed in your arena or on the bridges and dig up a **prize**.
* **Prizes**: 2 mana, 4 XP, 250 Master Health.

 **Thrill of the Hunt** (Unlocks at 120 XP)

* Adds another **Trap card** to Diona’s deck every 25 seconds.

## Notes

* Diona's **bear traps** are placed 10 ranged away from Diona in the direction of either bridge. Their placement alternates between the two lanes.
* Diona's **Trap cards** can be placed anywhere on the field, unlike other buildings.
* After second perk is reached, the next enemy minion that dies on your side of the arena or on the bridges will drop a potion with color depending on the prize, Ruffles will then get off the Master Tower moving towards the potion. If he takes **any** damage meanwhile, he will return to the Master Tower, otherwise, once he reached the potion, he will gain you the **prize** after a short delay, and then return to the Master Tower. Whenever Ruffles returns to the Master Tower, it will take him 10 seconds to cooldown. Once the cooldown of his ability is finished, the next enemy minion that dies will drop a potion and the process will be repeated.
* The potions work in a cycle, so after the Mana prize spawns, the next one will be XP, then Healing, then Mana, and so on. This cycles regardless of Ruffles actually picking up the prize.
