Cupid, the God of Love

Passive – Lovestruck
Every hit with a basic attack gives Cupid a 3% buff to the damage or healing of his next ability. This can be stacked up to 10 times. Upon reaching 10 stacks, the next Heart Bomb or Fields of Love will stun enemies for 1s when they explode.
Heart Bomb
Cupid fires an arrow that overwhelms the target with love, initially causing 50/80/110/140/170 (+60% of your physical power) physical damage and slowing them by 35%. After 3s, the target’s heart explodes, dealing the same damage again to the target and all enemies within a 20 ft radius. Cost – 70/75/80/85/90 mana. Cooldown – 12s.
Share the Love
Cupid places 3 floating hearts at his ground target location that heal himself or allied gods for 30/50/70/90/110 (+40% of your physical power) when picked up. Cupid regens 30 mana for each heart that is picked up by an ally. The hearts persist for 8 seconds. Cost – 60/65/70/75/80 mana. Cooldown – 14s.
Flutter
Cupid flutters quickly forward, leaving a trail behind him for 6 seconds that increases all allies movement speed by 35%. Cupid also gains 15/20/25/30/35% attack speed for 4 seconds after fluttering! Cost – 70 mana. Cooldown – 17/16/15/14/13s.

The arrows grow in intensity until they explode, dealing 175/225/275/325/375 (+120% of your physical power) physical damage. Enemies caught within the radius are also mesmerized for the next 3s. Any damage done breaks the effect. Cost – 80/90/100/110/120 mana. Cooldown – 90s.
