Lore

Might makes right. To impose order, to bend the world to your will – these are the marks of a true leader. Only a true leader has the strength of will and the force of arms to make his enemies bow before him. Only a true leader deserves the respect and adulation of his followers.

These are the guiding principles of Tsukuyomi's existence. Proud, but violent, he is the God of the Moon and the Night. Wielding his twin tonfa, Shingetsu and Mangetsu, he overcomes his enemies with effortless skill and a mocking laugh, forcing them to bow before him – for what good is victory without an audience to see it?

He is the opposite in every way of his sibling, Amaterasu. Where she is light, he is dark. Where she is kind, he is cruel. But in his cruelty there is purpose. A true leader cannot show weakness, cannot brook insult – even one unintentionally given.

Such was the reason that Tsukuyomi struck off the head of the goddess of plenty, Uke Mochi. For her manner offended him, and offense must be answered as swiftly and surely as possible, lest weakness be revealed. Order must be maintained, whatever the cost.

Amaterasu did not understand. She cast Tsukuyomi from her sight, forever exiling him from the heavens. The day would be hers, and the night his. Another insult, but one Tsukuyomi has borne in silence...until now.

For now, the Great Dreamer has awakened and cast a shroud of madness across the world and its peoples. The order of all things breaks down, and weakling gods like Amaterasu falter.

But a true leader sees opportunity in chaos.

The time of Amaterasu and her followers is done. Tsukuyomi seeks to impose a new order upon things – one more to his liking. A long night falls across the world.

And now, a new moon rises...

Abilities

Passive - Shingetsu & Mangetsu Tsukuyomi wields Shingetsu in his left hand and Mangetsu in his right hand. When these weapons damage an enemy they become empowered. Empowered Shingetsu gains a 50% cleave and restores mana. Empowered Mangetsu deals bonus damage and restores health. Notes:   Empowered weapons revert to normal after 5 seconds out of combat.   The mana restore only triggers on the first enemy hit with empowered Shingetsu.   Empowered Mangetsu heals for 36 health (7.15 at level 1) at level 20.   Ranged basic attacks from both empowered weapons will not apply the additional effects. They also have a range of 65, trigger item effects and count as two hits on enemy wards and player-made deployables.   Mana Heal: 3 (+20% of your Physical Power)   Health Heal: 6 + 1.5 per level   Bonus Damage: 2 (+15% of your Physical Power)   Ability Type: Buff, Damage Ability Video 1st Ability - Dark Moon Shuriken Tsukuyomi throws a Dark Moon Shuriken that damages enemies and stops on gods, sticking into them. If Tsukuyomi gets close to the god he retrieves the Shuriken and reduces its cooldown. After casting this ability Shingetsu's next Basic Attack becomes ranged. This attack steals Movement Speed from the enemy hit. Notes:   Has a retrieval range of 10 units and up to 4s to retrieve the Shuriken.   Retrieval's cooldown reduction deducts from the current cooldown, taking into account Cooldown %.   The movement speed steal lasts 4s after landing a basic attack from this ability.   Shuriken Damage: 85/135/185/235/285 (+80% of your Physical Power)   Cooldown Reduction: 4s   Movement Speed Steal: 25%   Ability Type: Line, Slow, Damage   Range: 65   Cost: 50/60/70/80/90 mana   Cooldown: 14 seconds Ability Video 2nd Ability - Kusarigama Shingetsu and Mangetsu form themselves into a Kusarigama. Tsukuyomi swings the weapon to his left and right, damaging and disarming enemies hit. He then swings the weapon forward with more force stunning enemies hit.

Enemies who move inside this Caltrop field take damage and are slowed again. After casting this ability Mangetsu's next Basic Attack becomes ranged. This attack deals bonus Physical Damage. Notes:   Damage is dealt every 0.25s and the caltrops persist for 6s.   Can deal up to 480/840/1200/1560/1920 (+360% of your Physical Power) damage if a target moves inside the caltrop field for it's entire duration.   The slow's duration refreshes per tick.   Damage: 20/35/50/65/80 (+15% of your Physical Power)   Slow: 20/22.5/25/27.5/30%   Damage: 5 (+30% of your Physical power)   Ability Type: Area, Slow, Damage   Range: 55   Cost: 40/45/50/55/60 mana   Cooldown: 14 seconds Ability Video Ultimate - Piercing Moonlight Tsukuyomi channels the power of the Full Moon, gaining Crowd Control immunity and 20% Damage Reduction. He fires forward 4 powerful piercing beams of moonlight. Enemy gods damaged become marked. Each beam can hit up to 3 enemy gods. After firing all beams Tsukuyomi charges forward at light speed, dashing through all enemies in the order they were hit, dealing heavy damage. Tsukuyomi will end his dashing at the final enemy hit. If Tsukuyomi kills an enemy god with this ability Tsukuyomi he will gain both of his ranged basic attacks. Notes:   Can deal up to 400/600/800/1000/1200 (+260% of your Physical Power) damage to a single target.   Gods who use a form of damage immunity while marked will not remove the mark.   Any gods marked by the beams during the dashing that become untargetable, banished or damage immune, Tsukuyomi will still follow/damage that target.   The dashes go through walls which means that Tsukuyomi still follows Cliodhna while inside a wall but won't damage her and also affected enemies that move through Janus' portals while doing damage to them if marked.   Tsukuyomi will teleport outside a wall if the final target marked is inside/through a wall during the dashing.   Beam Damage: 30/50/70/90/110 (+15% of your Physical Power)   Dash Damage: 70/100/130/160/190 (+50% of your Physical Power)   Ability Type: Line, Buff, Damage   Range: 90   Cost: 80/90/100/110/120 mana   Cooldown: 90 seconds Ability Video
