History Characters / PaladinsDamage

* SkillGateCharacter: Damage champions are rather straightforward in how they play and what their general role is in-game, meaning they tend to be the most straightforward and therefore the easiest to play, but other classes can still outperform them if their enemy is experienced enough.

* CoolGun: It's not every day you see a carbine that swaps between automatic and sniper modes. Her best work is at long range, but she ''is'' a Damage champion and can dish out some hurt in any situation.

* FantasticRacism: Towards Pip, calling him a rodent if killed by him, which Tiberius is expectedly not pleased about.

* MeaningfulName: His name is of roman origin, however Website/TheOtherWiki 's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_(disambiguation) disambiguation page]] has many articles of Romans by that name; including Roman Emperor [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius Tiberius Caesar Augustus]] and Military Commander [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_Coruncanius Tiberius Coruncanius]] (who founded the term PyrrhicVictory), among others, so it's not entirely clear what his name is in reference to, if at all.

* MeaningfulName: Tyra is greek for "untamed". This translates her title as [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment "Untamed, the Untamed"]].

** Her name is derived from "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will-o%27-the-wisp Will-o'-the-wisp]]", which are mysterious balls of light associated with fairies in English and European folklore.

* BoobsOfSteel: Imani's one of the most powerful mortals in the Realm, and of course, her top can barely contain her bosom.

* Foil: To Jenos. Both wanted to serve the universe in different ways, Jenos by using the power of stars to harm and heal, while Omen uses his power for destruction and revenge. A comparison of how they got imbued with their powers is even noted in his lore bio. Not only that, but all the card art Omen has are corrupted "Abyssal" takes on Jenos's card art (A meteor changing into a flaming skull, Jenos's hand turning into a FingerGun etc.), ands his ultimate quote is a darker version of Jenos's.

-> ''"I'm about to ruin our enemies' entire day."''

A Dark Elf bounty hunter.

Saati's Abilities:
* All of Saati's Abilities have no cooldowns. Instead, she has 8 Pips of energy that are consumed and slowly regenerate over time. While she has less than 5 Pips, her movement speed is slightly increased. While at 5 or more, her firing rate is faster.
* '''Hand Cannon''', Saati's primary fire, is a powerful semi-automatic pistol.
* '''Ricochet''' throws a coin in an arc through the air. The coin deals a small amount of damage if it hits an enemy. If Saati shoots the coin with ''Hand Cannon'' while it's in the air, it will stop in its tracks and redirect the shot towards the nearest enemy. After bouncing four shots, the coin explodes, dealing area damage. This ability costs 2 Pips to use.
* '''Blast Back''' is a backflip kick that moves Saati backwards and pushes enemies away, igniting them. This costs 4 Pips to use.
* '''Dead Ringer''' deploys a cardboard cutout of Saati that shoots straight ahead, while granting her Stealth for a short time. Enemies who shoot the decoy are revealed to Saati, and those who destroy are revealed longer.
* '''Wall Bang''', Saati's Ultimate, empowers her next 3 ''Hand Cannon'' shots, letting her shoot through walls and dealing increased damage per shot.

Saati's Talents:
* '''Improvised''' reduces the Pip cost of ''Dead Ringer'' to 3 and makes the decoy explode when enemies get too close.
* '''Window of Opportunity''' makes enemies hit by ''Back Blast'' launch into the air and increases the damage they take from Saati.
* '''Heads or Tails''' empowers shots that bounce off ''Ricochet'''s coin, making them deal extra damage to shields, reveal enemies to Saati, and healing her.

** Kasumi has two selection intros, one of which involves her slowly floating upwards and facing away from the player, while their second intro starts in the same way, only for her to instantly lunge forwards and press her hands and face up against the screen [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou to freak out the player.]]
** An A-posed Kasumi can be found in the maps used in the [=LTM=] "Fog of War". If a player gets too close, she will start to move forward very quickly, a '''loud''' scream will be heard, and Kasumi will laugh wryly.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Saati randomly does this in one line.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Even when she was alive, Kasumi didn't seem to wear any footwear.

* BladeOnAStick: ''Harpoon'', natch. The "Abyss Spike" talent lodges the harpoon into terrain and has it explode when enemies are near. The "Hurl" talent removes the harpoon's cooldown, but also removes its slowing effect.

* AxCrazy: Kasumi is ''obsessed'' with murder, killing anyone and everyone she comes across instead of trying to figure out who she even wants vengeance on. Even prior to being betrayed and killed, [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/b/b5/Kasumi_SP_Joke_5.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20220918130512 merely trying poetry once and having it critiqued]], being told her work wasn't "spirited", was enough to convince Kasumi [[DisproportionateRetribution to murder those in question.]]

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Some of her in-game actions come off as this, most notably one of her selection intros where she has a chance of flat-out lunging at the player's screen and pull a {{Jumpscare}} in the process. Her in-game icon, unique among champions, also has her hand out, as if she's trying to grab the player from the screen. Even her [[OminousVisualGlitch animation glitches]] in her emotes could be interpreted as Kasumi trying to override the game in some manner, so to speak.

* {{Jumpscare}}: Kasumi has two selection intros, one of which involves her slowly floating upwards and facing away from the player. The second intro starts the same way, only for her to instantly lunge forwards and press her hands and face up against the screen [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou to freak out the player.]]

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: As one can no doubt tell by this point, Kasumi just defaults to murder for most of her problems. Had her poetry critiqued? Murder. Someone bothering her? Murder. Betrayed? Murder. Wants revenge on someone? Murder random people and leave it up to chance if she found the right person or not.
* OminousVisualGlitch: Kasumi has a habit of doing this in her animations, notably in her default emote, comeing off as if she's trying to take control of the game.

* SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: Compared to the rest of the cast, she's one of the darker characters in the game, openly admitting to murder and has very creepy abilities. Her face is completely covered in shadow, with only her glowing pupil-less eyes being left visible, has an aggressive-sounding murder-filled voice pack, her method of attacking involves applying curses to enemies by ''violently'' stabbing a [[VoodooDoll Yokai Doll]], her glitchy and unnatural in-game movements are very different to anyone else in the game, and the way she's presented in her character teaser as a horror villain. Kasumi also has a chance of jumpscaring the player when selected in the lobby, her character icon is also markedly different; [[https://imgur.com/1j86Zyz while everyone else looks in the direction of the player, Kasumi has her arm up to reach out towards the player instead]].

* BadassBaritone: Has a deep, throaty voice that makes his [[PreAsskickingOneLiner ultimate callout]] sound especially threatening.

* BadassBaritone: A rare female example. Imani has a very deep voice in-game.

* ShortHairWithTail: Cassie has short bangs of hair at the front, and a ponytail that reaches the back of her knee's at the back.

* SurpriseCreepy: Compared to the rest of the cast, she's one of the darker characters in the game, openly admitting to murder and has very creepy abilities. Her face is completely covered in shadow, with only her glowing pupil-less eyes being left visible, has an aggressive-sounding murder-filled voice pack, her method of attacking involves applying curses to enemies by ''violently'' stabbing a [[VoodooDoll Yokai Doll]], her glitchy and unnatural in-game movements are very different to anyone else in the game, and the way she's presented in her character teaser as a horror villain. Kasumi also has a chance of jumpscaring the player when selected in the lobby, her character icon is also markedly different; [[https://imgur.com/1j86Zyz while everyone else looks in the direction of the player, Kasumi has her arm up to reach out towards the player instead]].

* BareYourMidriff: Her original outfit had her stomach prominently on display.

* BareYourMidriff: A rare male example, though not exactly the type of midriff that'll be drawing eyes.

* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit speaks for itself, as do several of her skins.

* BareYourMidriff: Her normal look, plus some of her skins.

* BareYourMidriff: Somewhat hard to tell if Willo's actually baring her midriff due to the similar colors of her dress and skin, but either way, definitely seems as though she is.

* BrownBagMask: His "In the Bag" cosmetic from Battle Pass 1. [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/8/8b/Sha_Lin_In_the_Bag.png/revision/latest?cb=20200709130140 It's as silly as you think it looks]].

* AxCrazy: Kasumi is ''extremely'' obsessed with murder, killing anyone and everyone she comes across instead of bothering to figure out who exactly she wants vengeance on. Even prior to being betrayed and killed, [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/b/b5/Kasumi_SP_Joke_5.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20220918130512 merely trying poetry once and having it critiqued]], being told her work wasn't "spirited", was enough to convince Kasumi [[DisproportionateRetribution to murder those in question.]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: Somehow, Kasumi doesn't actually know who it is she wants vengeance on, but instead of figuring out those involved in her betrayal, she instead decides to haunt the forests of the Realm and kill anyone she comes across. Additionally, as mentioned previously, Kasumi decided murder was a perfectly reasonable answer to critique on poetry she once tried.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Some of her in-game actions come off as this, most notably one of her selection intros where she may flat-out lunge at the player's screen and {{Jumpscare}} them in the process. Her in-game icon also has her hand out, as if she's trying to grab the player from the screen. Even her [[OminousVisualGlitch animation glitches]] could be interpreted as trying to override the game, so to speak.

* {{Jumpscare}}: Kasumi has two selection intros, one of which involves her slowly floating upwards and facing away from the player, only to instantly lunge forwards and press her hands and face up against the screen.
* MsFanservice: Though one of the darker and less extreme characters on the roster, Kasumi still has a rather short skirt and open top, though this isn't as extreme as other characters.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: As one can no doubt tell by this point, Kasumi pretty much defaults to murder for most of her problems. Had her poetry critiqued? Murder. Someone bothering her? Murder. Betrayed? Murder. Not actually sure who she wants revenge on? Murder random people until she finds the person by chance.
* OminousVisualGlitch: Kasumi has a habit of doing this in her animations, notably in her default emote.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The full extent of Kasumi's abilities are never made entirely clear, other than being a standard vengeance-obsessed ghost who uses curses to hurt people.
* PowerFloats: As a ghost, Kasumi is expectedly able to float, which is her primary method of moving around.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Kasumi's been on her quest of vengeance for literal eons, yet during all these years, she apparently never bothered to figure out who exactly she wants vengeance on.
* SoulPower: appears to have some control over the souls of others.
* SurpriseCreepy: Kasumi isn't too out there in this regard, but nonetheless, she does still come off as a bit of a surprise. Her face is completely covered in shadow, with only her glowing pupil-less eyes being left visible, her extremely aggressive murder-filled voice pack, her method of attacking involving applying curses to enemies by violently stabbing a [[VoodooDoll Yokai Doll]], her glitchy and unnatural in-game movements, the way she's presented in her character teaser as a horror villain, and of course, the fact she has a chance of jumpscaring the player upon being selected in the lobby. Her character icon is a bit different to everyone else; [[https://imgur.com/1j86Zyz while everyone looks at the player, Kasumi has her reach out towards the player instead]].

* ZombieGait: Kasumi's default emote has her do this, all while glitching out, which is reminiscent of an unlockable emote for Terminus.

* SoulPower: Seemingly has some control over the souls of others.

* AllWomenAreLustful: Saati doesn't care for much of anything but having a "fun time" with every female champion she interacts with... except Io seemingly for some reason.

* {{Foil}}: While meta-wise she's similar to Viktor with a few differences (in general, they boil down to 'machine gun-totting soldiers with a zoom ability'), while their names start with 'Vi'. That's where the similarities end. Viktor is AFatherToHisMen and a NiceGuy who [[RussianGuySuffersMost suffers a lot]], and in general doesn't rank highly amongst the Magistrate despite being a team leader, and yet he believes in the good the Magistrate would bring. Vivian is seemingly one of the higher ranking members of the Magistrate (being quite close to Corvus), but is more [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish and power-hungry]], and generally not concerned with the good promises of the Magistrate, she's only in it for herself, and the Magistrate just happens to have the best offerings.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Some of her in-game actions come off as this, most notably one of her selection intro's where she may flat-out lunge at the player's screen and {{Jumpscare}} them in the process. Her in-game icon also has her hand out, as if she's trying to grab the player from the screen. Even her [[OminousVisualGlitch animation glitches]] could be interpreted as trying to override the game, so to speak.

* {{Jumpscare}}: Kasumi has two selection intro's, one of which involves her slowly floating upwards and facing away from the player, only to instantly lunge forwards and press her hands and face up against the screen.

* NobleBirdOfPrey: Zigs is a hawk who loyally flies beside Cassie into battle. He's used in her ultimate; '''Scout''', to reveal all enemies on the map for eight seconds. Every skin turns him into a different bird; Night Bane/ Blood Moon transforms him into a Raven, Sun Kissed/ Copacabana transforms him into a cockatoo (A Teal-Pink combo for the former, shades of green for the latter), Dune Crawler turns him into a Star-wars-esque droid, Dragon Caller turns him into a miniature dragon, and Golden turns him Gold and Black.

* NamesTheSame: In Universe. The pirate known as Admiral Dredge is possessed by an Abyssal-entity ''also'' named Dredge.

* NamesTheSame: {{Invoked}}. The information in-game refers to her energy as "Pips". This is actually referring to the term [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicted_impact_point Predicted Impact Point]], which is the location that a ballistic projectile (like Saati's coin) is expected to strike if fired, and has no relation to Pip, the support champion of the same name.

* CoolPet: Zigs is a NobleBirdOfPrey who loyally flies beside Cassie into battle. He's used in her ultimate; '''Scout''', to reveal all enemies on the map for eight seconds. Every skin turns him into a different bird; Night Bane/ Blood Moon transforms him into a Raven, Sun Kissed/ Copacabana transforms him into a cockatoo (A Teal-Pink combo for the former, shades of green for the latter), Dune Crawler turns him into a Star-wars-esque droid, Dragon Caller turns him into a miniature dragon, and Golden turns him Gold and Black.
