    For black, I sort of envisioned this as a new and improved Hood type, with passive AP drain.

    For red, I had in mind the idea of Shadow King acting as a parasite.  The skill at max would always bring you up to even in health with your opponent, reducing your opponent by half of the difference, healing you for half of the difference.  And, if you're ahead, stun them.

    For yellow, I had countering my Legion concept in mind.  See:

    Of course, it would also be a good counter for other special tile teams like Grocket.
