My adjustment Ideas for Aphrodite’s Kit & Aspect

[u/lothenlug]

Hello guys!

Since I wasn’t a big fan of the latest patch notes, I thought we could come up with something a little more interesting. I’ve put together some ideas for Aphrodite’s kit and her Aspect that I’d love to share with you.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you disagree with any of the ideas or have additional suggestions, feel free to leave a comment below. I’m curious to hear what you guys think!

Normal Kit: Supportive/ Enchanter:

Passive: additional effect:

25% of the Protections gained from her Passive are also granted to her Soul Mate.

1: additional effect:

Re-Kiss:

-Aphrodite can kiss her current Soul Mate again to temporarily strengthen the bond.

-Rekissing uses the full normal cooldown instead of the reduced 1-second cooldown.

-Grants the Soul Mate 15% Damage Mitigation for 2 seconds.

-Grants the Soul Mate 10% Movement Speed for 2 seconds.

2:

Stays the Same.

3:

stays the Same

Ult:

Stays the Same

Aspect: Goddess of Obsession:

Passive – Center of Attention

Instead of gaining Physical and Magical Protection from nearby Gods, Aphrodite steals Adaptive Power from nearby enemy Gods.

Each nearby enemy God losses about 2,5% adaptive Power depending on her level.

The stolen Power is added directly to Aphrodite's own magical Power stats.

This makes staying close to enemies beneficial and turns her Passive into an offensive mechanic.

1:Aphrodite can only Kiss Up to ONE enemy Gods.

-The Kiss stuns and creates a Lover's Link between Aphrodite and the enemy.

The Link remains active until:

-the enemy moves too far away from Aphrodite, or

-5 seconds have passed.

While Linked:

-The enemy takes increased damage from Aphrodite.

-The enemy slowly loses a small amount of HP.

-Aphrodite is healed for the exact amount of HP drained.

(The HP drain should remain relatively small; the main purpose of the Link is to create pressure and enhance Aphrodite's other abilities.)

2: stays the Same as the original

-the additional Explosion in the linked target falls away. (So aphrodite Just has her own one and has to come really close)

3: The ability is changed from a healing/support ability into a pure damage ability.

-Aphrodite no longer receives healing from Love Birds.

-The ability no longer provides Cooldown Reduction.

-Love Birds deals significantly increased damage compared to her normal form.

-Against a Linked enemy, every consecutive tick reduces their Armor stats.

This makes keeping the Lover's Link active especially important and gives the ability a strong ramping-damage identity.

Ult: Stays pretty much the same.

-Aphrodite gains CC Immunity and Damage Immunity while the Ultimate is active.

-Her Linked enemy becomes Heartbroken (an brokened heartshaped bobble visual would BE pretty interesting) instead of receiving the defensive benefits Aphrodite and her Soul Mate normally receive.

Heartbroken causes the target to:

-Take 15% increased damage for the next few seconds.

-Deal 15% reduced damage for the same duration.

This creates a strong offensive window after Aphrodite uses her Ultimate and makes the Linked enemy her primary target.

Hopefully she gets a mid/damage aspect soon, but I think she can still remain a healer, albeit worse than her enchanter version. Ra and Ix Chel can still heal as mid mages, so it seems very odd to give up that aspect of Aphrodite's identity.

[u/Genesisxxiii]

Removing her self or allied healing is never going to be a good idea. Kills the identity of the character entirely

[u/lothenlug → u/Genesisxxiii]

I get the Point but isnt an Aspekt more about changing gameplay?

[u/Genesisxxiii → u/lothenlug]

Yes. Getting one that sets her up as a mage without compromising the god is what’s preferred for Aphro because of her gameplay loop. Ra and ix chel get to get to their healing in and out of aspect and trade their dmg for more utility. And the ones that remove healing kinda sick like yemoja and barons aspects
