Luckily, everyone's there. And Chairiel doesn't have 6 AC or 75% Everything resistance.

How many skillpoints would I have to make a character if I went ahead with respeccing?

Originally posted on 2016-05-13 05:41:00

Well...
-5 skillpoints in HP
-33 skillpoints in STR
-9 skillpoints in AGI
I think that's all, which totals to 47 skill points.

Alright... With 47 skill points, hm. Time to start planning out what might be something... If I keep my absurd strength value, I'd lose out on about 33 skillpoints, but that'd give me the advantage of having absurdly high damages from the minicrits-to-crits thing... but first, I'll have to wait and see what the final version of the Operative's Katana would function like.

Alright, assuming 45 skillpoints available... here we go. Time to make a character that I might or might not switch to, depending on what people think I should do.

The Operative
HP: 20 (+5 from equipment)
MP: 10
STR: 4 (+3 from 9 skillpoints)
AGI: 8 (+7 from 21 skillpoints)
INT: 6 (+5 from 15 skillpoints)
SPC: 1
AC: 2 (+2 from equipment)

Weapon:
Operative's Katana: (8-9) damage, 1 range, 1 retreat[b]
[b]WEAPON PASSIVE: Elegance. +1 Crit Chance (aka +5%) per 2 INT, +1 Crit Chance per 4 AGI, +1 damage Upper Limit per 4 AGI

Equipment:
Helmet: Cyborg Head Casing (reskinned Knight's Helmet)
Armor: Metal Plating
Accessory: Finale Amulet

Skills:
Skill 1: Counter
Skill 2: Shock

Special Attack - UNLIMITED
SP needed: 250
Fill method: Dealing damage (x2 if critical, X2 if Lightning-element), dodging an attack (gain equal to damage attack would have dealt), taking Lightning-element damage (damage taken x4)
Effect: Grants UNLIMITED status for 3 turns. Dodge chance increased by 10% (+5% per 2 points AGI), AC increased by 2 (+1 per 4 STR), gain Double Strike (melee attacks hit twice), and deal an additional (8-12) (+1 per 2 INT) Lightning damage to any enemy within 1 range after movement. (+1 duration per 6 INT) (+1 duration per 3 SPC)

Unlimited is op for sure. I reccomend increasing the SP needed and having lower scalings.

Originally posted on 2016-05-19 01:30:00

Eh, it's probably a hella lot more balanced than the other Special Attack idea I had planned...

UNLIMITED is hella broken. Take Siria / Crystal's special, Overclock. Her special grants double attacks, for 200 SP. (I honestly consider her special to be really powerful.) Now, let's look at UNLIMITED. For only 50 extra SP, not only do you get Overclock, you also get bonus dodging, AC, and splash-attack lightning moves for basically triple attacks. Plus, the x2 fill on Crit is absolutely BROKEN with the Katana, given the massive crit bumps you'll get with it. This is very slightly completely broken.

Also, +1 Duration per 6 INT / 3 SPC is also preeeeettttyyy good.

...Hmm... On one hand, I could rebalance it by making the values slightly more sane... but, on the other hand, I can be a lazy ass and just double the SP requirement, because that can't possibly go bad.

Special Attack - UNLIMITED
SP needed: 400
Fill method: Dealing damage (X2 if Lightning-element), dodging an attack (gain equal to damage attack would have dealt), taking Lightning-element damage (damage taken x4) (Cannot fill if UNLIMITED status active, obviously)
Effect: Grants UNLIMITED status for 3 turns. Dodge chance increased by 5% (+5% per 2 points AGI, +5% per 4 points SPC), AC increased by 3 (+1 per 4 STR, +1 per 6 SPC), and deal an additional (8-12) (+1 per 2 INT, +1 per 3 SPC) Lightning damage to any enemy within 1 range after movement. (+1 duration at 12 INT) (+1 duration at 12 SPC)

This better for a reworked UNLIMITED? Double attacks was unnecessary, so I removed it, and the SPC stat was underutilized, so I worked it into the bonuses, but then they got even higher, so I increased the requirement and removed the critfill bonus. And SEVERELY cut down the duration bonuses because 9-turn UNLIMITED is bullshit.

That seems better. Much better. I'd allow this.

The Operative is likely going to be almost as much of a dick to Secretaries as TEK was... starting with the cardboard shred bringing him to just the right value where, even if hit by the probe (2-3 damage, thanks AC), he won't be at a Derivation-compatible health level.

I'll probably be raising the player cap on both battles to make up for the fact that two players have returned from somewhere. Thoughts?

Originally posted on 2016-06-06 18:50:00

Yeah, that works.

Originally posted on 2016-06-06 22:56:00

I'm in support of higher caps.

Inb4 someone renames the ship "Gladius Slash Operative" just to watch Marron off herself right now.
