Hannibal, the Dread Vanguard is a champion concept made for Concept Battle 1, a custom champion competition organized by Grrrbear26, with each round focusing on a specific feature. In this round, the feature was to have a champion with at least one ability that is affected or restricted by the actions of enemy champions.

In line with this challenge, Hannibal is a powerful offensive tank specializing not only in initiating for his team, but also providing additional initiation and mobility for his allies. What he lacks in direct initiation, he more than makes up for in immediate follow-up, as he can supplement his team with enormous amounts of damage and crowd control as he tanks for his allies. He does, however, have several pitfalls: when not riding his trusty warhorse, Strife, Hannibal is extremely slow, and since he has no means of attacking his opponents from large distances he's forced to constantly get within melee range of them. Unlike most tanks, he also lacks an ultimate, and the main asset he brings to his team, Strife, can also be hijacked by his opponents. As an extremely offensively-oriented champion, Hannibal is meant to work very well in all-in comps, and I designed him to be good in both top lane and the jungle, but also as a support, as his team-oriented kit would pair him well with aggressive marksmen.

Abilities

Hannibal's ultimate, Call Steed, is available at level 1 and cannot be ranked up. Instead, all of his basic abilities can be leveled up to rank 6.

Hannibal's steed, Strife, has her own unique ability set that replaces her rider's. All of her abilities are available at level 1 and cannot be ranked up.

If Hannibal dies, Strife forces her rider to dismount after up to 5 seconds and returns to the fountain, remaining unusable until Hannibal respawns.
