UPassive Ability Sandstrider-Scarab is unaffected by her Sand’s slow
GVery nice detail to work and abilities
UThanks
Uit is a first draft though so any critiques would be appreciated
Kthe locusts seem a bit underpowered as (if) the nest can be shot off, can be easily avoided and even if cannot be avoided, it doesn't really do anything that helpful unless you are close enough
rest all abilities are unique and cool tho
would totally play

would totally play
Kmy advice on locusts would be add at least some sort of damage or maybe track them longer
Ki personally like the mirageg (unless it was a typo) ability a lot
a mix of yoru and partially gekko sounds cool
a mix of yoru and partially gekko sounds cool
UYeah I forgot to add the damage from the file it’s on there now
UAnd that was a typo I’ll fix now
UAnd thanks the interest
KAnytime, i like characters who can prove to be a big annoyance
Scarab feels like one them
Scarab feels like one them
UI have an inkling you play Yoru
KNah, I'm more of a controller
I like directly hiding things and annoying people
I like directly hiding things and annoying people
KI haven't even unlocked yoru cause flashes aren't my thing
UFair fair I’m also a controller
KWhich one?
UVaries for the map but mostly omen
KI usually do viper or omen if bind or icebox
Im more of a laidback killer if that's a thing
Im more of a laidback killer if that's a thing
KI do initiators a good bit as well
KWbu
UI can play pretty much every agent fairly well but I prefer controllers
KAh, a jack of all trades, fair fair
UThat was fast
Uim gonna attempt to draw Scarab but first Them Text
Ccool
ANo offense but why is she white, cause she's from Egypt so shouldn't she be middle eastern?
PIt was Ai art, Ai is not perfect with that stuff
AOh
AMy bad
Uyeah Im currently in the middle of drawing her myself but i wanted to see what ai came up with
Dok
Dwhich ai did you use?
Ui dont know off the top off my head give me a few
UI used StarryAI
MSiick
Ki forgot to ask, any backstory you've made for her?
CScarab Sentinel
—Equip a Locust nest. FIRE to throw the nest that shatters upon hitting the floor, creating a lingering zone of swarming locusts that damages. ALT FIRE to place a covert nest. ACTIVATE the nest to release a damaging swarm of locusts.
—EQUIP a sand beetle. FIRE to throw the beetle that perpetually remains throughout the round. ALT FIRE to lob. RE-USE the ability to create a large dust cloud that Nearsights and Slows players inside of it. This ability can be RE-USED more than once and can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.
—EQUIP a Antlion that scans for enemies movement above. FIRE to throw the antlion. Upon landing, the Antlion goes underground. ALT FIRE to lob. After an enemy comes in range, the antlion destabilizes the terrain around them, creating a lingering field that pulls and Slows players caught inside of it toward the center before it explodes, making all players still trapped inside concussed. HOLD EQUIP to recall the deployed trap.
Passive – SandstriderPASSIVELY movement speed Scarab instead of being Slowed when standing in Scarab's own Slow.
Ability 1 – Locustswarm
—Equip a Locust nest. FIRE to throw the nest that shatters upon hitting the floor, creating a lingering zone of swarming locusts that damages. ALT FIRE to place a covert nest. ACTIVATE the nest to release a damaging swarm of locusts.
Ability 2 – Sandstorm

Signature – Sand Trap
—EQUIP a Antlion that scans for enemies movement above. FIRE to throw the antlion. Upon landing, the Antlion goes underground. ALT FIRE to lob. After an enemy comes in range, the antlion destabilizes the terrain around them, creating a lingering field that pulls and Slows players caught inside of it toward the center before it explodes, making all players still trapped inside concussed. HOLD EQUIP to recall the deployed trap.
Ultimate – name—Laser Ray from the sun similar to brim's ult but smaller radius, other differences (2 version, Primary straight-line/Secondary stationary)
U“Meet the sentinel scarab” “unaffected by her Sand’s slow”
UI was thinking something along the lines of her being from a long lineage of a family who protected the sarcophagus of a Pharaoh or something else important
CSo a tomb guardian or priestess
UYeah something like that
UI was putting more thought into abilities than backstory at first
CUsing ancient insect/bugs to help defend her pharaoh and if that's not enough she calls upon the sun for help aka laser ray
UThat sounds like an automatic Astra pull but concussing instead of vulnerable
QCool
Pi think the idea and all the abilities are very cool, the only thing i was a little confused was mirage, i think its a little like a yoru clone that you can control? the ult sound a little strange like a mix of kj and harbor ult and nearsiting anyone who walks in sounds a bit broken, i think its a great concept tho!
