Rhino Rework Concept

Paupershango_2006

About Rhino
Aleksei Sytsevich’s life changed the moment he stepped into an experimental suit – and became the rampaging Rhino! What he lacks in brainpower, he makes up for in strength, speed, and a thick hide. And whatever you do, don’t get him angry – or you’ll end up on the wrong side of his razor-sharp horns!
Character Class: Science

Abilities: Rupture, Unblockable, Rampage, Fury, Unstoppable, Unblockable

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths - Unstoppable, High Damage Output, Defense - Armor and Physical Resistance

The Following Stats and Abilities are based on a Rank 5, Level 65, 5-Star Champion.

Rhino is immune to all Bleed, Poison, Nullify, Fate Seal, and Stagger effects.
Personal Debuffs and Passives are unaffected by Ability Accuracy Reduction.
Rhino’s Dash Attacks have a 30% chance to be Unblockable.

Since Rhino has been garbage these days, I decided to make this. (For Prof Hoff and BeroMan)

Paupershango_2006

And Magrailothos, what do you think of this rework concept?

Paupershango_2006

Rhino's first Medium Attack is the only attack that uses his Horn.

And in case if you're wondering, the mystery Champion for Rhino's Sinister Six Synergy is probably going to be The Lizard.

Paupershango_2006

The Lizard and Sandman are going to be next month's champions.

Paupershango_2006

Any thoughts who their character Classes for both Champions will be?

For me, I'm guessing they'll both be Science.

Magrailothos

Lizard and sandman are both mutates in the comics/films, so you're probably right.

By the way, have you looked at this thread? I think you'll like it: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/103185/champion-improvement-suggestions-edited-by-mod-for-clarity#latest

What do you think of the Rhino Rework Concept?

Paupershango_2006

In my thoughts, it's pretty good.

Paupershango_2006

Not sure what abilities Lizard and Sandman will have when their deep dives come next month.

Paupershango_2006

By the way you should go see the Green Goblin Rework Concept.

Paupershango_2006

It's probably good.
