An intriguing design, outside of the obvious synergy with Kai'sa, I think that she would pair well with either Nasus or Kindred since the archetype revolve around summoning and killing husk tokens.
Edit: It turn out that a unit consuming a Husk don't counts as slay trigger, this pretty much kill any interest I had in this champion.
There are some almost-good ideas here. I like the feeling of killing followers to gain power. I like a spell that protects a specific champion AND punishes your opponent for trying to target her. But I agree with everyone else that the final product feels lacking
First of all: why did riot think that we need to summon random husks instead of at least manifest them? That's just unneccessarily rng heavy
Second: why did you think that letting the evelynn Archetype being effectively all regions at once was a good idea? I can't wait for bandle tree + bandle city making games more fun again :/
Third: why did you make evelynn so... bad? Like do you really think a 5/5 with up to 3 keywords is that good? Looks much like a kaisa/bandle enabler than an independant good theme to me.
Edit: also does the flavour of the evelynn archetype not fit at all to me: you want to tell me that the charm/stealth assassin champion is supposed to have no vulnerability card, no quick atttack and no elusive?
Honestly, I'd be more excited if Bandle Tree Evelynn becomes a thing because at least it's a more interesting take on Evelynn. Honestly though it's more likely just a YiA deck than anything.
Husks can't attack therefore the Evelynn archetype isn't that good at actually going wide.
You could buff husks to sacrifize them but that's rather clunky to do
You can get your YiA procs really quickly and if you have 2 Husks on board which seems like it happens a bit according to the video, you can go tall and that buff is also permanent and they also get keywords on top of that. There's potential in there I believe, but it feels a bit hard to evaluate a Runeterran champion until we get our hands on it.
Seems potentially interesting? I mean I'm not likely gonna play it cus just like the Sion deck I find it really depressing, but that is more a taste thing then it is a strength thing. Not sure how impactful husks will end up being, the random aspect of it makes it hard to really plan around effectively, but perhaps that won't matter and the impact of getting these keywords will be enough. Also Allure is Demacian? Not sure why that is.
