Welcome to another League of Legends champion spotlight featuring Tio, the Sole Ice Spirit.
"The cold used to bother me... not anymore."
Tio is a hybrid mana-less assassin that scales with a chilly mix of physical and magical damage with the help of some mysterious spirits that granted him the power of ice.
"The spirits... feels like a friend."
Tio's passive is Blessings of the Ice Spirits. That snowflake on his back isn't just for show. Abilities that deal damage place a stack of Frost on hit targets with up to 4 stacks per target that disappear after some time. If that target is hit with any immobilizing abilities and has any Frost stacks, Tio blinks behind the target and strikes, consuming all stacks of Frost that deals bonus magic damage, gain a short burst of movement speed, and does different levels of crowd control based on how many Frost stacks there are. Once any amount of Frost is consumed, they cannot be applied again after a short period. So make sure to do more than just nipping at their nose!
1: Slows "There's a nip in the air."
2: Strong Slow "You're on thin ice!"
3: Roots "Don't get cold feet now!"
4: Stun "Out cold."
Plus, after consuming 10 stacks of Frost, Tio gains a shield that negates any source of damage that deals more than 10% of his max HP, giving him some extra survivability against heavy-hitting attacks.
*surprised by the shield*"Whoa! Did... I do that?"
Tio's first ability is Ice Shard/Ice Spikes. Tio coats his wooden sword in ice then hurls a fast moving icicle that travels a short distance in a straight line, dealing hybrid damage to all enemies in the way that scales with enemies missing health, and places a single stack of frost that slows. When empowered by his E, the range is extended and throws three spikes in a small cone shape plus dealing additional damage.
"Keep a cool head."
Tio's next ability is Icicle Crash/Icicle Spear. When cast in an area, after a short delay Tio erects a thick column of ice that knocks enemies or himself in a targeted direction, interrupting any movement and creating a small burst of frost upon landing if he uses it on himself. If empowered, the pillar instead becomes a large spike that skewers enemies upwards, stunning them in place for a short duration and placing a stack of Frost.
"There's no escaping the cold!"
Tio's third ability is Frostbite/Frostburst. Normally, a melee champion that punches and kicks, Frostbite allows him to wield his icy weapons. Empowering one of his abilities and resets the cooldown and, for a short period of time, makes him ranged by launching small shards of ice that deal bonus damage as his basic attack that applies a weak slow. If he's within melee range, he'll strike with his weapons in the area in front of him that deals more damage than his ranged attack. Both his ranged and melee attacks apply only one stack of Frost respectively for the duration. Casting E again during the duration of Frostbite casts Frostburst which is a short blast of cold all around Tio which briefly roots enemies.
"Brace yourselves! Winter is coming!"
Lastly, Tio's Ultimate ability is Permafrost. In a targeted area, Tio steals the heat in a small circle that quickly expands into a much wider area. Enemies caught within gradually gain stacks of Frost with those that have 4 become rooted until the end of the duration. Once Permafrost ends, all the heat rushes back in, shocking enemies' bodies with the sudden change of temperature that deals damage. Enemies that manage to leave the area before Permafrost ends still receive a burst of damage depending on how long they stayed in.
"You're in the dead of winter."
Now that we've seen what he can do, let's see what Tio's combo would look like.
For some quick ranged damage, cast Ice Shard, Frostbite, then recast your Q to do Ice Spikes to chunk down their health. If you can, try to fit in a few autos while they're ranged before recasting for some additional missing health damage.
For a full combo, start off by applying a stack of Frost with his Ice Shard to slow them down. Catch up to them then use Icicle Crash when you're right next to them to launch both of you so Tio can burst with Frost upon landing. Then empower his basic attacks with his Frostbite to apply at least one more Frost stack before recasting E to use Frostburst. This'll apply all four stacks and immobilize them so you can follow up and trigger his passive to blink on top and freeze them in place for some sweet extra damage. If they're not dead yet, follow it up with Permafrost on their frozen bodies. The Frost won't apply again after a short while, but it'll apply at least two if they remain in it for the entire duration.
Tio synergizes with other champs that can immobilize enemies so he doesn't have to use his abilities to lock them down himself. As long as he can spread his frosty touch, he'll be blinking right over and still be able to make a clean getaway!
This silly little blurb was because I was curious if I could turn Tio into a League of Legends champion. I think like most champs being made nowadays, he has an overloaded kit. LoL! But enough about that! Check out how cool this is! I specifically asked to show what Tio even does with the wooden sword he carries around. This is my 2nd commission I got from the duo of Felfi and RogueLiger! Y'all should check them out if you want an awesome sketchpage too!

Oh, it was actually the passive itself. Instead of incremental levels of better CC, any amount of Frost stacks would've done a stun and would increase in durations the more there were. Also, after he consumed his Frost stacks, he could apply more again.
So imagine him applying frost and using a teammates' CC to use his passive. He could then chain stun them by cycling his abilities. That's bad for business. :p
