*"Your champions are strong, Summoner. I am strong too. But I possess the heart of a lion! Can your pathetic champions say the same?"*
—Colossus[src]

**Colossus** is a Mutant Champion. Being a Mutant Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Skill Champions, but is weak to Tech Champions.

## Bio

Piotr "Peter" Rasputin was the child of Russian farmers, born with big shoulders and strong spirit. When his mutant powers emerged, his body became encased in living steel and he became one of the mightiest heroes of the Marvel Universe. Peter moved to America to join the X-Men, serving as both the heart and conscience of the team.

## Mechanics

Whether the opponent is hitting you, or you are hitting them, Colossus is a great Champion to use. Colossus has strong survivability as well as damage potential. He’s got plenty of Armor Up Buffs, which increase his Armor Rating and Critical Damage! The more Armor, the higher the damage output!

## Abilities

* Tier 2-6
* Tier 1

**Passive**

* Colossus is immune to all Bleed, Incinerate, Coldsnap & Frostbite effects. Additionally, if he’s not fighting a Tech Champion, he’s also immune to Armor Break and Armor Shattered Debuffs.
* At the start of the fight, Colossus gains a number of indefinite Armor Up Buffs equal to 2 plus the number of X-Men Champions on his team, including himself.

**Personal Armor Up Buffs** - Max: 20

* Unless otherwise stated, Colossus’ Armor Up Buffs provide *X* Armor Rating.

* Additionally, for each Armor Up Buff Colossus has, he gains an additional *X* Critical Damage Rating.

*Dev Notes: The more Armor Ups, the better for both his damage and survivability!*

**When Attacked or When Attacking**

* If Colossus’ Ability Accuracy is below 100%, he gains +100% Combat Power Rate for the duration of the attack.

**Enemy Critical Hits**

* Damage is capped at 150% of the opponent’s Attack rating.
* Each time his damage cap is hit, the duration of Colossus’ Armor Up Buffs are refreshed. He also has a 50% chance to gain an additional Armor Up Buff lasting 15 seconds.

**Well-Timed Blocks**

* 100% chance to gain an Armor Up Buff, lasting 15 seconds.
* If contact is made by Basic Attacks, Colossus has a 100% chance to inflict a Stun Debuff lasting 1 seconds.
* If Colossus has the Parry Mastery, this Stun Debuff is disabled instead. A successful Parry also deals *X* direct damage.

**Special and Heavy Attacks**

* Attack rating is increased by up to +*X*, based on Colossus’ Armor Rating.

**Heavy Attacks**

* If the opponent has a Stun Debuff, Colossus’ Heavy Attacks have a 100% chance to Purify the Stun and grant a Passive Fury increasing Attack by up to +*X*, based on Colossus’ Armor, for 3 seconds.

*Dev Notes: Here’s the big damage! Remove the Stun Debuff placed on a Well Timed Block to gain a huge fury passive to deal some great damage! If you use a Special Attack after the first hit the Special can also benefit from the increased attack damage.*

**Special Attacks**

* Damage for this attack is based on current Armor levels. Damage increases by up to 130% based on overall Armor. This attack also deals reduced damage while under the effect of Armor Reduction.

**Passive**

* A layer of Armor provides an additional 327.71 Armor Rating.
* Impenetrable armor provides full immunity to Bleeding.

**All Attacks**

* 10% chance to gain an Armor Up Buff for 6.5 seconds, granting +752.94 Armor Rating.

**When Attacked**

## Signature Ability

**The Mighty Colossus!** - Passive

* Whenever one of Colossus’ Immunities protects him from an effect, he has a *X*% chance to gain an Armor Up buff, lasting 15 seconds.

* Colossus has a *X*% chance to convert an expiring Armor Up buff into a permanent one.

## Special Attacks

* Tier 2-6
* Tier 1

**Special 1 - Russian Rushdown**

*A classic wrestling move used to knock down any opponent.*

* Gain an indefinite Armor Up Buff.
* Flat 5% chance per Armor up Buff to inflict a Stun Debuff for 2 seconds.

*Dev Notes: This Special Attack is really important for gaining indefinite Armor Up Buffs while unduped. Use it to build up more Armor for Colossus.*

**Special 2 - Piotr's Powerful Pummelling**

*Colossus demonstrates hand to hand combat with enough superhuman strength to careen 100 tons.*

* This attack is Unblockable.
* When activated, for each Armor Up Buff, Colossus has a 50% chance to gain another lasting 15 seconds. These Buffs do not count towards the Max Stack limit, allowing Colossus to temporarily go above his Armor Up Buff limit.

*Dev Notes: Colossus has a chance to gain a lot of Armor Up Buffs here, so this is the best Special Attack to use for some high damage. The passive Unblockable is a nice bonus as well!*

**Special 3 - Utterly Unbreakable**

*In flesh form he is a man; in steel form he is a hero, increasing his damage based on his current Armor level.*

* 100% chance to inflict an indefinite Passive Fatigue on the opponent, reducing their Critical Rating by *X*.

* Colossus activates Organic Steel increasing the amount of Damage reduced by Armor and Resistance by 2% per Armor Up Buff. Additionally while Organic Steel is active, Colossus is Unstoppable while Blocking, allowing him to shrug off attacks.

**Special 1 - Russian Rushdown**

*A classic wrestling move used to knock down any opponent.*

* Damage for this attack is based on current Armor levels. Damage increases by up to 130% based on overall Armor. This attack also deals reduced damage while under the effect of Armor Reduction.

**Special 2 - Piotr's Powerful Pummelling**

*Colossus demonstrates hand to hand combat with enough superhuman strength to careen 100 tons.*

* Damage for this attack is based on current Armor levels. Damage increases by up to 130% based on overall Armor. This attack also deals reduced damage while under the effect of Armor Reduction.

## Strengths and Weaknesses

### Strengths

* **Armor Up**
	+ Colossus’ Armor Up Buffs are easy to get and provide damage protection as well as increasing his Critical Damage.

* **Damage**
	+ With his Heavy Attack Colossus can gain a Fury passive, increasing his attack for a short duration. Canceling his Heavy Attack after the first hit allows you to launch a special attack with the Fury!

* **Immunities**
	+ Colossus boasts four Immunities, as well as an extra Immunity to Armor Break against all but Tech Champions. When duped he also has a chance to gain an Armor Up every time he is Immune to an effect!

### Weaknesses

* **Nullify**
	+ Colossus’ damage is best when he can have plenty of Armor Up Buffs. Nullifying these Buffs can remove quite a bit of his damage, and his survivability.
* **Poison**
	+ Damage over time effects like Poison that Colossus isn’t Immune to can eat through his health pool, ignoring any damage reduction from Armor Up.
* **Reliance on Stun and Heavy**
	+ In matchups where Colossus can’t use his regular rotation, he can run into trouble when stacking his Armor Up Buffs is difficult.

## Recommended Masteries

* **Stupify**
	+ Colossus is helped by an increased Stun debuff giving him more time to use his Heavy Attack.

* **Double Edge**
	+ Colossus is Bleed Immune allowing him to benefit from the increased attack without worrying about the health loss at the start of the fight!

* **Precision**
	+ Although Colossus can raise his Critical Damage, his Critical Hit Rate is relatively low. Increasing his chance to hit Critical Hits makes sure you benefit more from increased damage on those crits!
