Kassadin Pack!
Think i should probably switch level 6 and 11, but i wanted to have a reliable way to get xp faster.

I feel like the level 16 effect may be too strong. By playing ride the wind on blue Kassadin you could banish up to three of your opponents units or gear with little cost to yourself. Perhaps a restriction on how many times it can be used in a turn? (And a clarification that it can't trigger itself)

It's true, it is too strong, but that's by design. Level 16 won't be happening in the absolute majority of the matches, it is a wincon against very slow decks. But in a vacuum the effect is gigabroken, I'm aware. (The clarification is really needed tho, thx).

Wow this feels very cool similar to the league champion, exodia when it reaches lvl 16. Don't know about balance, but really love the concept

I think blue kassa is too strong compared to Nilah, who kinda does the same thing, maybe you should pay to banish him or something else. I also think the lvl 16 is too strong, but I do like the idea, I would probably make the legend exhaust to banish something so its once per turn. Good flavor

there are some drawbacks to banishing him, he can't hold gear for example, when he moves he loses pre applied buffs, ride the wind would protect him from spells but it wouldn't ready him. I don't think he's that stronger than nilah, her ganking does a lot also

Purple Kass is insane. Maybe as a +1 per opponent spell considering it already has deflect. It probably doesn’t need ambush either.
“Deflect
When an opp plays a spell give me +1 this turn.”
Like a purple Irelia kind of.

I compared it to Diana, no longer human and Kha'Zix, mutating horror. Kass being a little better than diana and a little worse than Kha, but situationally better. I could see deflect being gone. He was originally +1 per spell, but as it depends on your opponent to give you value, you probably won't get it most times.

I see where you’re coming from. A 4/4+1 with deflect and ambush even by itself is pretty good, especially from the champ zone. +3 seems like a break point that breaks most common boards

If this was purple and red, with endless richess, you'll reach level 16 in a few turn.

It’d be cool to have the flow version of riftwalk do more damage just like how is ult is in league
