Ability traits
So i have got recently one very cool idea: special upgrades to abilities, that don’t change game much, but make it much more varying.
Those can be chosen by putting “/” after ability (for example: /ability barrage/faulty fire)
So here is the lists of all abilities and traits I thought of so far (notice: only one can be equipped at the same time):
Barrage:
- Intensive bombardments - doubles ability duration, but also doubles its recharge speed and increases ability penalty by 10%. R2
- Concentrated firing - instead of firing in multiple lines, always fires at 1 (vertical up), but all rockets have their damage multiplied by amount of original lines. R3
- Faulty fire - Shoots rockets in random directions instead. Increaces damage of rockets by 10%. R3
- Reinforced armor - Instead of stopping if took any damage, stops if took damage and player has less then half of max hp. Increases ability penalty by 20%. R4
- Enhanced fire - Increases damage dealt and price penalty by 20%. R1
Dual Wield
- Direct fire - shoots second projectile on same angle as first was shot. Increases price penalty by 25%. R4
- Quad - shoots 4 projectiles now instead. At WW shoots them at angles 0, 20, 340, 180; at SS 0, 160, 200, 180 and at SW makes angles 0, 90, 180, 270. Increases ability penalty by 50%. R5
- Moonwalk - makes additional projectile deal 200% dmg, in cost of original doing only 50% and +10% ability penaltyю. R4
- Addition - makes original projectile deal 200% dmg, in cost of additional doing only 50% and +20% ability penalty. R4
Guardian:
- Vacuum wave - quickly shoots non-piercing bullets instead, that pull enemies to it. R3
- Field medics - instead of dealing damage, they now heal the player every once in a while. Higher level - better heal. R4
- Hitmen - they are equipped with slow sniper rifles now. R3
- Barricades - they are equipped with high-aggro items and lesser kb and damage. Increases penalty by 10%. R4
- Cloning - now guardians have same loadouts as you, but with weapons, that are modified to have 50% less damage. +25% price penalty. R5
Shaman
- Long ritual - increases amount of hp needed for an upgrade, increases amount of max hp given and increases ability penalty by 10%. R1
- Discharge - if round ended before upgrade was done, instantly gives off max hp following this formula
(current hp collected/all hp needed) * what it should give off at the end * 0,75. Reduces radius by 1 block and heals teammates 2 times rarer. R4 - Ancestor ritual - has to collect hp from mobs instead. Can collect only from secondary mobs. R5
- Revenge - gives damage buffs when max hp up. Increases ability penalty by 15%. R3
- Cyborg - heals and hp boosts all sentries and guardians (guardian keeps its new max hp even after dying), reduces max hp up by 25%. R3
Coward
- Scary - tp’s you home after any hit. R1
- Confidence - only teleports you when you take fatal hit. Reduces ability penalty by 5%. R1
- Refugee - Gets Panic!, Swiftness, Featherfall buffs when effect triggered. Increases ability penalty by 15%. R4
- Combatant - Gets different combat buffs after triggering the effect. Increases ability penalty by 15%. R3
Time warp
- Restart - instead of stop time, when used, memorises positions of all players (and their scores) and NPCs and puts them back after few seconds. R5
- Aggresive return - after time warp, gets some combat buffs. R4
- Recall - Instead of time warp, after usage, memorises position, and puts player back when they trigger ability again. R5
Telekinesis
- Unbalanced upgrades - increases height and dash at starter level, but stops upgrading those after 3rd upgrade (round 9 by default), increases ability penalty by 25%. R4
- Distant force - dashes and jumps also work on nearby mobs, getting weaker with distance. Increases ability penalty by 10%. R3
- Collision damage - damages all mobs after ss or ww. Damage =
ability level (starting at 1) ^3 *5 ). Increases ability penalty by 25%. Obtained at DTP level 80 - Phase - gets immunity frames while dashing or jumping, but also gets cursed debuff for double duration of that. R5
- Kickstart - after triggering ability, gains combat buffs. Duration of those buff are same as cooldown. Increases ability penalty by 10%. R4
Wish
- Happy wishes - doubles weight of revival, heal and heal faster wishes, increases ability penalty by 20%. R3
- Fury wishes - doubles weight of more max hp and damage wishes, increases ability penalty by 20%. R3
- Depressed wishes - doubles weight of pain, death and kill wishes, reduces ability penalty to 5%. R3
- Masochistic wishes - doubles weight of suffering, removal armor and weapon wishes, removes ability penalty. R3
- Ceiling - after reaching lvl 4, removes both penalty and ability itself. Increases penalty by 15%
Valiant
- Midas - gains more money from mobs (10-50%), instead of buffs, depending on distance from target, increases ability penalty by 15%. R4
- Valiance - heals teammates every second (8 blocks radius) when close to mobs (
target max hp * 0.1 * distance in blocks to mobs ^ -1), but takes twice as much damage. Bought from shop for 20k DP - Rage - gains damage buffs, instead of healing ones. R4
Vampirism
Wip
no reverent abil cuz i never even saw it in action
Last one, sentries. They are different, because each sentry can have its trait. You can save up to 5 sentry trait loadouts and then select them instead of traits.
Ive came up with different idea. You can bring up to 10 different sentry modes at once, so you can, for example, get both classic minigun and machine gun minigun, although the cost will scale like they are a single sentry.
Also ive came up with subclasses of sentries: ultimate and elite, last ones actively cost money to operate, but much better. (they prioritise withdrawing from nearby banks, if cant, they do so from player, if cant again, they dont shoot then). Ultimate simply offer more functionality.
Also every sentry changes appearance, even if sligthly, for each trait. I will provide examples for minigun:
Minigun
- Machine gun - has chain gun instead of minishark to both increase scatter and ut. R1
- Ultimate - ut x2; has an orichalcum armor. R3
- Powerful - ut x0.9, detection radius and -ss x1.2; increases upgrade and placement cost by 15%. R1
- Improved survivability - health x1.3; has constant regeneration buff, increases upgrade and placement cost by 15%. R1
- Elite - health x1.5, ut and ua = 4, each bullet costs
tierpoints, changes bullets frommusket - meteor - crystal - explotometeor - high velo - explo - explo. R5
(halo is universal depiction of elite)
Snipe
- High priority - doesnt shoot primary mobs, damage x1.1, increases upgrade cost by 25%. R4
- Bounty - Each snipe sets bounty on random target. It will proiritise that target over anything. If target killed not by specific snipe, nothing happens. If it is killed by snipe, deposits in closest bank
max(sqrt(bank amount)*snipe tier;1000*(snipe tier)^2). If no bank is nearby, counts player as bank. Each shotcosts 10 * snipe tier. Obtained at DTP level 125 - Combo - changes thing entirely, now it has -ut 3 -ua 3; and gets 1 bullet every
5 - snipe tier * 0.2seconds, capped attierbullets. Bought from shop for 10k DP - Powerful - damage x1.2; increases upgrade and placement cost by 15%. R1
- Improved survivability - health = x+T*20; has constant regeneration buff, increases upgrade and placement cost by 15%. R1
- Elite - increases health, ut and ua by 2 times, damage by
tiertimes, each bullet coststier^2 score. R5
Emitter
- Quick resupply - reduces duration and cooldown of buffs by 2 times. Increases placement cost by 10%. R2
- Burn - changes sets of debuffs to different fires (collects money for each mob that got debuff,
duration * dps * 0.5). Increases placement and upgrade costs by 25%. R4 - Randomiser - now every second gives out random debuff for 5 seconds. R4
- Powerful - radius x1.5; increases upgrade and placement cost by 15%. R1
- Improved survivability - health x1.1; has constant regeneration buff, increases upgrade and placement cost by 15%. R1
- Elite - now inflicts different healing and damage buffs, depending on tier, every 30 seconds for 30 seconds. Each imbue costs
player amount*tierscore. R5
Nade
- Enhanced shots - -ss x2; radius x+T, increases placement and upgrade costs by 15%. R2
- Cheap rockets - damage x0.8; kb x0.5; decreases placement and upgrade costs by 25%. R3
- Powerful - damage x1.1; radius x+T; increases upgrade and placement cost by 15%. R1
- Improved survivability - health x1.1; has constant regeneration buff, increases upgrade and placement cost by 15%. R1
- Elite - now has rocket launcher up to t8, mini nukes, ut and ua =
600-10T(min 40), damage =100 + 50T + 0.8(T+4)^2, each shot costs100Tscore. R5
Bank
- Auto-investments - automaticaly puts interest back in, interest rate = 50%; increases placement costs by 100%. R3
- Tax collector - doubles amount of money gained from other sentries damaging mobs, but interest rate = 20%. R3
- Foreign investors - interest rate = 20%, but gets same amount of score as interested from other players’ banks in a range. Bought from shop for 25k DP
- Simplified interest - interests via WW `max(current player score/2;10000). R2
- Legacy bank - bank works like before they were updated (aka upgradeble). N/A
- Powerful - interest = 40%; radius x+T*2; gets only 80% of money that was interested via WW. R1
- Improved survivability - health x1.1; has constant regeneration buff, interest = 25%. R1
- Risky investments - iterest can randomly vary from -0.2 to 0.8. R4
- Insurance - interest - 0.05, but if other non bank sentries die nearby, returns 80% of costs of all the upgrades and purchase. R4
- Elite - only one can exist per map, has interest rate of 0.25, but gains 50% of all of the other banks’ gains (in the radius). Radius x3. If other banks run out of money to supply elite sentries, central bank compensates for them with just 50% of the original costs (and it itself compensates with just 50%). R5
Repair
- Engineering qualification - allows player to repair by standing close to it, but increases cooldown of repair by 3 times. R4
- All-purpose - repair now repairs all sentries and guardians, but max hp x0.7; max heal rate
80 * T(repair) / T(targeted sentry) - Rest - after having less 20% hp, goes into rest mode, when it doesn’t heal anything. After healing to full, it has to wait 10 seconds before it activates again. R2
- Preventer - doesnt heal sentries normally. Instead, whenever sentry takes fatal damage, it gets fully restored, and repair sentry has 5 seconds cooldown. R4
- Powerful - restore cooldown x0.8; radius x+T; increases upgrade and placement cost by 15%. R1
- Improved survivability - health x1.1; has constant regeneration buff, increases upgrade and placement cost by 15%. R1
- Elite - combines engineering qualification, all-purpose, preventer, without increases in healing cooldown and heal rate, but costs
heal/2 to function. R5
Tank
- Constant pressure - after tank gets 30 hits in a row, it gets endurance and ironskin buffs. However, all its armor and accs upgrades are delayed by 2 tiers. R3
- Titanium - gets titanium armor at t8 (and keeps it after t12). Reduces upgrade prices by
(T + 5)^3. R2 - Wall - has perma endurance and ironskin buffs, however, ut x3. R2
- Powerful - health x1.2; ut and ua x0.7 increases upgrade and placement cost by 20%. R1
- Improved survivability - health x1.1; has constant regeneration and rapid healing buff, increases upgrade and placement cost by 20%. R1
- Elite - hp x2 each hit it recieves, it takes 10 score (and if it cant get those, it instantly dies), but gets all of the aggro 3 tiers earlier and has ironskin, endurance. R5
Ways to obtain these, ok so 1-4 are complete bogus cuz you can easily get hellot of lootboxes from pve, so change it to some separate challenges for specific maps/abilities/etc. Also r1 is just boring
R1 - Always aviable
R2 - 10% from T1 lootbox, 20% from T2
R3 - 10% from T2 lootbox, 25% from T3
R4 - 20% from T3 lootbox
R5 - Only from events
and some have unique obtainment methods
(notice: there is x% chance of trait obtained from lootbox, after that, all unlockable traits with same kind of rarity have equal chance of being dropped)
(this is made assuming that there are 3 tiers of lootboxes that canbe obtained via lvl up, no rewards for vote lootboxes)
