SAY YOUR THOUGHTS

Satou the Deus Musco commented 1 year ago

Pretty damn cool. Does Vat Leak randomly increase/reduce stats? Or does it just reduce? If it randomly increases & reduces then I think it's a bad ability since either outcome is just as likely, but if it reduces then I think it's a fascinating and fun crowd control ability.

MMan replied 1 year ago

Glad you like it :D I guess i forgot to mention it affects both enemies and allies. Affects enemies negatively and allies positively

MMan commented 1 year ago

This hero idea turned out a lot complicated for my taste compared to my other ones. If it feels very complicated for you too, you can ignore Horrific Creation's skills and treat it like a Warlock golem to make the hero simpler.
