# Ixia An unconventional outlaw and mechanical prodigy, Ixia represents a rejection of societal expectations and predetermined roles. ## Background Ixia was born during an unprecedented sandstorm sixteen years prior, her arrival marked by a shooting star that illuminated the desert skies above Eruditio. Her mother, the leader of the outlaw faction known as Bad Soul, had been lost in the wasteland when labor began, only to be guided to safety by the celestial phenomenon. From childhood, Ixia demonstrated remarkable aptitude—mastering firearm mechanics before achieving stable locomotion and displaying an insatiable curiosity that set her apart from her peers. Unlike her contemporaries in Bad Soul, Ixia pursued an unconventional path. Rather than targeting wealthy merchants for profit, she systematically intercepted caravans bound for Eruditio to acquire books, driven by aspirations of becoming an inventor. Her creations ranged from practical devices to questionable contraptions, earning her a mixed reputation within outlaw circles—some dismissed her work as frivolous, while others quietly benefited from her innovations. Upon her mother's death, leadership of Bad Soul unexpectedly passed to Ixia despite her youth. She immediately implemented radical reforms, refusing to prey upon defenseless civilians and insisting on returning stolen goods. This moral stance created tension with senior hunters who viewed her idealism as weakness, though her exceptional marksmanship and fearless demeanor commanded respect. Ixia's aspirations suffered a devastating blow when she presented an invention at Eruditio's Festival of Enlightenment, only to be summarily rejected and humiliated by guards who dismissed desert dwellers as inherently inferior. The city's subsequent establishment of infrastructure and employment programs in the desert appeared designed to undermine Bad Soul's operations rather than facilitate genuine cooperation. Undeterred by rejection and betrayal, Ixia embraced her own definition of identity, developing weaponry inspired by desert ecology—particularly curved projectiles mimicking sandworm trajectories. She views herself as unbounded by external categorization, declaring that individuals must forge their own paths rather than accept predetermined limitations.

Ixia Skills
- Siphon Starlium (Passive): Ixia's Basic Attacks and skills apply a stack of <font color="a6aafb">Starlium Charge</font> to enemies on hit. When Ixia performs a Basic Attack on an enemy with two stacks of <font color="a6aafb">Starlium Charge</font>, the attack will consume the stacks and be replaced with <font color="a6aafb">Siphon Starlium</font>, dealing <font color="fba51f"> (+150% Total Physical Attack)</font> <font color="26e407">(+200 Lifesteal)</font> plus (+10*Hero Level) <font color="fb1f1f">Physical Damage</font> to the target. Ixia recovers HP equal to the damage dealt by <font color="a6aafb">Siphon Starlium</font> (only 10<font color="26e407">(+150 Lifesteal)</font>% against non-hero units) and reduces the target's Movement Speed by 25% for 1s. <font color="a6aafb">Siphon Starlium</font> can trigger on all enemies in front of Ixia that are within her Basic Attack range, but it cannot Crit. Ixia's Basic Attacks cannot trigger Lifesteal.
- Dual Beam: Ixia fires 2 Starlium-charged energy beams along the ground in the target direction, dealing 50<font color="fba51f"> (+70% Total Physical Attack)</font> <font color="fb1f1f">Physical Damage</font> to enemies in a rectangular area. When hitting enemy heroes, Ixia gains 50% Movement Speed for 2s. Enemies hit by both beams will take double damage.
- Star Helix: Ixia unleashes a canister of Starlium energy in the target direction, knocking back nearby enemies, and pulling enemies in range to the center line after a short delay and dealing 200<font color="fba51f"> (+60% Total Physical Attack)</font> <font color="fb1f1f">Physical Damage</font>.
- Full Barrage: Ixia reassembles her weapon into 6 smaller weapons and enters the <font color="a6aafb">Barrage</font> state for 4s. In this state, Ixia's Basic Attacks and skills can hit enemies in the large fan-shaped area in front of her but not outside it. Ixia's Basic Attacks can hit up to 6 enemy units (prioritizes heroes), and <font color="a6aafb">Siphon Starlium</font> will fire simultaneously with her normal Basic Attacks.
