Cooldowns & Duration
To use the Royal Guardians, one must wait for the respective cooldowns involved which work in the following manner:
- On the beginning of an attack, one must wait for the "initial cooldown" before the first use.
- Then, the guardian mode can be activated which will last for an "appearance duration" time:
- After the mode is over, the "cooldown between usages" comes into play before being able to use the guardian once again.
Once the cooldown involved on step 3 is over, it will go back to step 2.
This cycle will keep repeating itself until the match is over, just like represented on the schematic below:
Note: This section uses the Sultan just as an example, but is applicable to all royal guardians.
Hero Items
Upon summoning the Royal Guardian, the hero will relinquish his equipped items.The Royal Guardian will be in charge of attacking, making item perks like the following not work for the appearance duration:
- Damage Perks. E.g: blunt damage, fire damage, etc;
- Aura Perks. E.g.: bomb kick aura, heal aura, etc;
- Effects on Weapon strike: E.g.: translocation chance, infection chance, fear chance, etc (from the Horkos gloves and Aion weapon pro-league item sets).
Despite these effects not working for a few seconds, this is easily overlooked because of the inherent invincibility brought by the Royal Guardian.
