I just realized that upgrading her 3 would do almost nothing at all, so I changed that a bit. I also decreased some of her base protections and her base mana.

And yes, I still actually work on this.. -.-

Her passive is really weird. And honestly, I think it's too ineffective for what it does.

If you want to get the feeling of "too scary attacks become less effective," then you're better off doing something like "Gods damaged by Marzanna deal 5% less damage to her for 3 seconds, stacking up to 15%." It feels strange to limit it to just basic attacks, using a flat amount, with a flat duration, meaning it'll fall off into "what passive?" late game.

Engulfed in Death is really original, and is a cool concept, but it's a tad sloppy in execution. For one, not many gods have dashes and leaps and are willing to go exactly to your location. In addition, I'm pretty sure it's literally impossible to go within 5 feet of a god, considering 13 feet is basic attack range and the size of gods' hitboxes - you can melee basic attack someone without going into that radius at all.

I'd change the circle to have a 15 foot radius - basically an Art 3's circle. And its effect should be more than "anti autoattacker," just like the passive. Maybe have it deal constant damage? The active effect is nice, but needs a longer duration to be effective. 5 seconds flat is fine.

How long does Snow Field's DoT last? That's an important question. Also, 25 foot radius, or 25 foot diameter? 25 foot diameter is smaller than Art's 3.

Rebirth seems overcomplicated. If it heals you immediately when its broken and also when its not broken...it feels like an overcomplicated way of "hitting equals heals," and I'm not sure what this has to do with rebirth.

Her ult is honestly also overcomplicated. I'm not sure what the intention was behind this ability, but it sounds frustrating to use - you want to hit groups for an AoE damage spell, and it has an execute function...so you want to save it for weaker, focused targets? It's a bit contradictory.

If I were you, I'd change Rebirth to this:

Marzanna comes back to life after death after 3 seconds, regaining 30/35/40/45/50% health and mana, and dealing 200/275/350/425/500 damage (+100% of your magical power) in a 20 foot radius upon Resurrection. Marzanna can move at 50% speed while resurrecting. Cooldown: 180/160/140/120/100 seconds.

And this is an ultimate.

As for Fury of Death, maybe rename it to Nightmare? Deal damage and fear targets, AND fears for longer or applies a debuff or has a reduced cooldown or whatever if the target is inside your 1 radius.

Overall, I'm a bit concerned about her playstyle, as she's a mage with one overly situational melee ability, two ranged abilities, and another near-melee ability. She's really weird. But it's a pretty cool concept.

Also, for some reason, I can't PM you.
