Customizations


General

 * This item changes Rubick's model entirely.
 * Almost all custom model animations are very similar to the default ones, only performed with Rubick's flying model. Only animations that are significantly different are shown here.

* Custom attack animations work with Conceit of the Wandering Harlequin. 1 Particle colors change to match the color scheme of the last hero Rubick used on. Reverts to default color when spell expires. 2 If Crux of Perplex is equipped, its particle colors will also be changed. 3 Does not play if Rubick is in Idle Injured animation. 4 Death Overkill Front animation is nearly identical to the default animation, and thus not shown. 5 Similar to the default stolen animation.

Win Counter
1 and  use the same model, so Jex is green in Rubick's Bedlam as well. 2 Only the ending animation differs greatly from the default. 3 Affects as well, since both spells share the same particles for hit enemies. 4 Particle colors change to match the color scheme of the last hero Rubick used on.
 * Custom particle effects for stolen spells are unlocked by winning games with Rubick. Wins in Turbo Mode count as half a win.
 * The number of wins are tracked on Rune of the Magus Cypher and can be viewed via a special panel in-game.
 * Unlocking all effects will give Rubick a custom ground trail effect while moving.
 * Most custom cast animations are similar to the default ones, only performed with Rubick's flying model. Only custom cast animations that differ greatly from the default animations are specified below.
 * If Rubick uses a stolen spell from an enemy wearing equipment with Kinetic Gems, the customizations from those Kinetic Gems generally take precedence over the customizations below.
 * Please report if a preview link is not working.
