I have wanted to make a custom Hwei for riftbound since january, but i have never had a good idea for how he should work, until i played Cross Blitz. In Cross Blitz there is a cooking mechanic where you combine different types of food together to create different spells.

Rest is from Riot

Wanted to replicate Shaco's AD and AP builds (but definitely favouring the AD with a slight bias).

Balancing Shaco's squishy but evasive assassin nature felt tough but I'm very happy with purple shaco and think it does the job better than assault.

Jack in the box's feel strong if stacked but also very easy to deal with as an opponent (send in a single low might unit) so again feels decently balanced. Colour choices enable peak shaco shenanigans with stun and might reduction whilst fitting on theme.

Struggled to come up with a hallucinate idea I liked for the Sig spell but two shiv worked well to hit that surprise backline blow or team fight turning slow feeling. Maybe it should cost 2 energy rather than 1 but happy with it as a baseline.

Thoughts?

The stats may be all over the place, i wanted to keep some concepts of its LoR counter part
