New Champion: Skylla

The evil magic user Skylla borrows her terrible power from none other than the infamous Arch-hag and Mother of Witches, Baba Yaga. An ally of convenience, Skylla lives only for the pursuit of power and acclaim, seeing even her fellow members of the League of Malevolence as tools to be used and discarded when it suits her needs. Skylla confounds her foes with magical trickery, wielding the unpredictable chaos of the Feywild to hypnotize and incapacitate those who stand between her and her goals.

Skylla is a Support and Debuff Champion who channels the power of Baba Yaga to empower the allies in front of her. She debuffs enemies with Faerie Fire, with her power growing stronger as these marked foes fall. For a unique twist, she has a specialization that switches her allies' ability scores around.
