Bruce Lee (Fighter)

—Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee is a highly agile and skilled Fighter who excels at close-range combat. He can swiftly chain attacks to nearby enemies, making him a formidable foe in the heat of battle.

## Abilities

**Flowing Water (Passive Ability)** Bruce Lee's mastery of martial arts allows him to fluidly chain attacks together. Each successful basic attack on an enemy hero grants him a stack of Flowing Water, increasing his attack speed for a short duration. Stacks are lost upon death or after not attacking for a certain period.

* **Fist of Fury (Target Point)** Bruce Lee unleashes a rapid strike that damages and slows the targeted enemy. If the target is affected by Flowing Water, Fist of Fury bounces to nearby enemies, applying the slow and dealing reduced damage. The number of bounces is determined by the number of Flowing Water stacks.
* **One-Inch Punch (Unit Target)** Bruce Lee performs his iconic One-Inch Punch on a targeted enemy, dealing significant damage and knocking them back. If the enemy collides with terrain or another enemy, they are stunned for a short duration. The distance of the knockback and the stun duration are increased based on the number of Flowing Water stacks.
* **Dragon's Leap (Target Point)** Bruce Lee demonstrates his extraordinary agility, leaping to a target location and evading all incoming attacks and projectiles while in motion. Upon landing, he releases a shockwave that damages and briefly silences enemies in an area around him. The radius of the shockwave and the duration of the silence are increased based on the number of Flowing Water stacks.
* **Way of the Dragon (Ultimate, No Target)** Bruce Lee channels the Way of the Dragon, entering a heightened state of focus and martial prowess. For a limited time, his basic attacks deal bonus damage and apply a stacking debuff to enemies, reducing their armor. Additionally, his abilities have reduced cooldowns, and he gains increased movement speed. During Way of the Dragon, Flowing Water stacks do not expire, allowing Bruce Lee to maximize the effectiveness of his abilities.

## Backstory

In the mystical mountain ranges of the Eastern Lotus Islands, there was a hidden village called Yin Shui. This village was a sanctuary for the most skilled martial artists from all around the world. It was said that those who found this village were destined to become legends. Protected by the powerful Dragon Guardian, Yin Shui was a place where time stood still, and the secrets of ancient martial arts were preserved.

In the heart of Yin Shui, a young boy named Bruce was born to a couple of humble warriors, Li and Mei. Bruce's parents were not only skilled martial artists, but they were also proficient in the ancient art of Dragon Breathing, a technique that granted its practitioners immense strength and agility. This technique was exclusive to the inhabitants of Yin Shui and was only passed down to the most deserving warriors.

Bruce was a precocious child. At the tender age of five, he began his training in martial arts under the tutelage of Master Wu, the most respected teacher in Yin Shui. Bruce's natural talent and dedication quickly set him apart from his peers. Master Wu was astounded by Bruce's rapid progress and saw within him the potential to become the greatest warrior in Yin Shui's history.

As Bruce grew older, his hunger for knowledge and mastery only intensified. He sought to learn from every master in the village, each of whom specialized in a unique martial arts style. By the age of fifteen, Bruce had become proficient in numerous forms of combat, from the fluid and evasive movements of the Water Serpent style to the swift and deadly strikes of the Thundering Eagle.

One day, during a meditation session in a secluded cave, Bruce encountered the Dragon Guardian in a vision. The majestic creature spoke to him, revealing that he was destined to be the Chosen One – the warrior who would unite the scattered martial arts communities around the world and bring about a new era of harmony and understanding.

To fulfill this destiny, Bruce would have to leave Yin Shui and embark on a journey to share his knowledge with the world. With the blessings of his parents and Master Wu, he set sail from the Eastern Lotus Islands, carrying with him the secrets of Dragon Breathing and the martial arts techniques he had mastered.
