[(PSN)Don_Coyot]

Lupin is a predecessor of amalgam tech yet still as chaotic. This knightly Warframe uses a infested shield that grows and slowly takes over Lupin the more death occurs around him until it eventually turns him into an infested beast. Many stories revolve around lupin and his shield, earning plays and ballads off of him while receiving the nickname the Cursed Knight. The Ballads are usually named “The Saint and The Wolf”. Upon full transformation, his shield seemingly mends to his hand, appearing more like a large claw.

Passive: Lupin has a Curse counter that increases when enemies die in his vicinity. Upon 100 kills and activating a Ability he becomes the beast, a infested wolf like being the feeds on blood shed and fear. Upon becoming the Wolf, Lupin can only change back upon being defeated or killed.

In knight mode: Lupin gains armor based on his Curse Counter

In Wolf Mode: Lupin shields transfer to his health. He know heals whenever he kills an enemy.

Ability 1- Hold the Line/Blood Hunt: Upon Activating Heroic Stand Lupin put his shield in the ground as a marker, giving Allies within its vicinity over shield and regen buff.

Highlighted enemies that are killed by him give him increased heals.

Ability 2-Rally/Howl: Lupin rallies his Allies increasing their armor, damage, and absorbing some of their damage taken. In Wolf mode, Lupin releases a blood curdling howl that causes enemies to shake in fear but also be slowed. Upon howling, Lupin gains melee damage Viral damage and increased movement speed.

Ability 3-Heroic Advance/Cursed Bite: Lupin blocks incoming damage with his shield for a short time and charges, dealing damage based on the amount he has blocked. Enemies hit by the charged are knocked down, leaving them open to finishers. When in Wolf mode Lupin will Bite a enemy, inflicting them with his curse. Cursed enemies are inflicted with his deadly strain of infection, causing them to attack Allies and take Viral damage every second. When Cursed enemies die, they explode infect spores that deal viral damage to enemies in the vicinity.

Ability 4-Succumb/Blood on the moon: Lupin will succumb to the beast within, entering wolf mode which switches all his shields into health and only allows him to use melee attacks with his exalted Shield/Claw. When in wolf mode, Lupin goes into a blood frenzy that will give him increased stats based on his curse counter. The buffed stats are Attack Speed, Melee damage, Armor, and Viral melee damage bonus.
