Idea behind Kit:
I heard that Celtic was coming out so I'd figured I'd make a kit on one of the possible entries in the game. That being said, let me just say that I was kinda split on what to do for King Arthur. There was a possibility that I could've made a completely different kit by using the idea behind Bellona's kit, but I decided to go with this. (Might make another kit on him in the future if no one else does a concept around the idea)
Anyway, let's talk about the passive. This passive is based upon the power of his scabbard (that doesn't really have a name) where it is said that it prevented death by bleeding and could even prevent bleeding from wounds. Now I kinda expanded my reasoning and figured that tick damage would be him "bleeding" and decided to give him some mitigation against it(nullifying it would be op). I also added the heal when he's below 50% as a way of his scabbard preventing him from bleeding out and 'healing' the wound.
The first ability is his main wave clear/damaging ability and comes in two sets. The two-handed style uses a variety of sword attacks to defeat his enemies. I also took the liberty of adding the half-sword and murder-strike techniques to make his one a bit more unique. The sword and shield style 1 might seem like Bellona's 1 at first glance, but there's a difference. This ability is single target and he hits the rim of the shield against the opponent's head. This causes the opponent to be disoriented by the blow as the result. Pretty much, he uses his shield as a weapon for the attack.
The second ability is something a bit interesting to consider. I figured that he would give off a sort of leadership presence to those around him that would drive them to push harder in a fight. As such, I made his kit based around team-play and strategic timing. His aura isn't the best on his own. In fact, it's really weak. However, with his team at his back, his aura becomes incredibly powerful. His auras also have powerful effects for different circumstances. The two-handed style increases everyone's power and movement speed. This is best used to chase or push back an enemy team. The effect this aura has on AI strengthens this by having them focus fire onto the enemy he's fighting.
On the other hand, the sword and shield style gives everyone protections and a health shield. This is best used to defend or to push an objective. The effect for this also shows this to be true by having all AI enemies focus fire on Arthur.
The third ability mainly involves him switching styles. There's a lot of debate over what kind of sword Excalibur was, so I went with the hand-and-a-half sword and allowed him to switch to a more offensive style of fighting or a more defensive style of fighting. What makes this unique is that he sacrifices some of his stats to increase the effectiveness of his other stats. This causes the player to decide and figure out which stance is more appropriate in the situation. Does your team need someone to deal damage or do they need a strong front-liner that won't go down easily? Giving him that option of choice was something I thought made his stance switch interesting compared to others.
The last ability is something that I'm somewhat concerned about due to the fact that he, technically, has two ultimates. Well, really, he has two choices for his ultimate and they both bring something to the table.
His two-handed style uses his sword, Excalibur in the ultimate. Now, originally, I thought of him launching a mighty attack of sorts. However, after looking at his lore, I discovered that his sword was only said to glow brightly and blind his enemies. (simplified version) As such, I added it into his ultimate where it blinds enemies and does damage in a radius around him.
As for his sword and shield style, I brought his shield into the kit and made it its own ultimate. Now, there are a lot of stories behind his shield, but I went with the one story where it's said that the symbol on his shield, when invoked, took the strength of his enemies and gives it to his troops. The ultimate is a massive debuff that doesn't deal any damage, but could be game changing regardless.
Overall, I wanted him to have a sort of team fighting presence. Like, a sort of leader that inspires his troops to fight on and can make them stronger by fighting together. I also wanted to give him the option of choice and the ability to change his impact in a fight based on what ability he uses in which stance. He can also become stronger or weaker based upon whether or not he's fighting with his team.

). The other parts (2 and 4) look more like Ares, making a lot of sense concerning Arthur's battle nature.
