    I'm just so eager for D'elim to come out, I'd thought I would make a rune idea for him. D'elim's Command would just be a boosting ability for D'elim's followers. It would give Attack: Fire for flavour reasons. D'elim's Rage is just another way to sacrifice Treefolk to proc Devotee, plus it gives D'elim a little boost for 1 turn.

    Although seems slightly too situational, it's amazingly flavorful as an ability (love the disadvantage/advantes it provides) but not sure whether I'd sacrifice a tree for it. Not sure how to fix it - perhaps it procing the +2 damage?

    changes
    change range to 3-4
    change D'elim's Rage to +2 range
    2-7 range is too high it going to be nerfed hard like this

    If there was ever an ability like delims command, it would be nerfed within a day.

    like KF needs anymore range boosts.

    It doesn't matter the whole point of this champ would be to boost damage into the stratosphere via treefolk sacrifices.

    But if you did end up hitting at the edge of the 7 range you would be encurring a -10 damage modifier

    The Devotee ability is kinda lame and boring as it is. This just adds some extra range and damage. Most of the units with Devotee already have some sort of fire attack anyway so this part is just for flavour reasons. If needed it can be taken away.

    He would only get 2-7 range if you sacrifice a treefolk, and Dissipate would make up for such a long range. I could change D'elim's base range to 3-5 and make Rage give +2 MAX range?

    Look at the champions being affected;

    Flamemage of the Circle: 4-6
    Outcast of the Flame: 3-7 (has Dissipate)
    Perfected Runner: 1-2
    Ruthless Enforcer: 1-2
    Seeker of the Source: 2-4
    Wood Marshal Druid: 2-4

    I hardly think these ranges are that OP...

    wood marshall becomes some magical super flame skitter with range 4-7 doesn't your ability still boost his range.

    I love the champ idea very cool i'd change delim's command though to not give the bonus range and give the ability a cooldown of 2 or something so it would kinda just be a small damage buff. Also he seems kinda melee tanky maybe give him 1-3 ranged remove damage shield and give him flame armor so he would be sitting at 6 def and damage shield pretty good melee champ at this point and maybe just put hp to 50 since he would be a melee beast.

    Other than that very cool rune idea and keep up the good work.

    I'll be the weird one and say that D'elim's Rage seems like a fine ability that appears at first glance to be sufficiently balanced.

    Hey Pix :) i think ur idea is super cool, heres what i think:

    Delims Command: Sacrifice target treefolk champion within 6 spaces. All champions with Devotee of D'elim get +2 dmg +1, Attack Fire, and Fire Acolyte for 1 turn (CD: 3, AP: 2)
    Delims Rage: Target treefolk within 6 spaces gains 2 ranks of Death Nova: Fire, and is destroyed. This unit gains +3 min and max range and dissipate for 3 turns. (CD: 3, AP: 2)

    I would also suggest replacing damage shield: fire with Initiate: Devotee to D'elim, and based on all these ablities this rune should surely be unique or hero, with a nora cost of 90-100 nora, i would personally say 95.

    I like the idea of adding Acolyte to Command, very cool. Initiate: Devotee is another awesome idea. I will add that in too :). Thanks for the comment!

    Idk if u noticed but i said command should require a sac and be a power turn type thing not a passive tho xD. I even put a CD and AP cost. It being a huge passive buff is just too much. I know ur attached to D'elim from your lore lol but i think balance should be prioritized over flavor.
