Today, I'm thrilled to share my latest fan art for Splinterlands—my third character design, which I’ve named "Corrupted One." This character embodies a unique blend of darkness, greed and loyalty, and I can't wait for you to see him.

In this post, I’ll delve into his lore, exploring the backstory that shaped him into the formidable figure he is, as well as share insights into the creative process behind bringing this concept to life. I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Lore:

The Corrupted One was once a revered warrior known as Odat-Narat, a mighty champion who wielded a sword as large as himself. He led an army of valiant fighters, protecting the people of the kingdom with unwavering courage. However, as time passed, his heart became tainted by greed. Lured by the promise of wealth and gold, Odat-Narat turned against his own, committing heinous acts for the sake of riches.

When the wizards of the kingdom learned of his dark transformation, they banded together to hunt him down. In a fierce battle, they managed to seal him within his own sword, imprisoning his malevolence for centuries.

But the story did not end there. Hundreds of years later, a young man named Balrek, the leader of a rebel group known as the Isle of Justice, sought the legendary sword of the fallen warrior. During his quest, he discovered the sword buried deep in a dark pit. With the aid of his wizard companion, Balrek broke the ancient spell that had bound Odat-Narat for so long.

As the Corrupted One emerged from his prison, a fierce confrontation ensued between Balrek and Odat-Narat. Though the Corrupted One possessed immense strength, Balrek proved to be even stronger. In the end, a truce was forged: Odat-Narat agreed to follow and obey Balrek, setting the stage for an unlikely alliance in the face of darkness.

Abilities:

Reach: This ability allows Corrupted One to attack from the second position on the team, giving him strategic versatility.

Corrupted Healing: Each round, restore 1/3 of max health to allied units (rounded down). Each time a unit is healed, its max health is reduced by 1, reflecting the corrupting influence of his dark power.

Expose: Has an 80% chance to remove Forcefield, Lookout, Reflection Shield, Shield, Void, Void Armor, or Immunity after a successful attack. Expose will always prioritize removing Immunity first, making him a significant threat to heavily defended opponents.

The Corrupted One stands as a powerful force on the battlefield, blending offensive capability with unique support mechanics. With Reach, he can strategically strike from behind, while his Corrupted Healing ability nurtures allies at a cost. His Expose ability makes him a formidable opponent, capable of breaking down defenses and paving the way for victory.

And that's it for today, I hope you all like it, thank you for reading 😊.
