SAY YOUR THOUGHTS

Satou the Deus Musco commented 2 years ago

So is there any reason to not just use throwing knifes at all time? It's 700 attack range with now downside. 700 would make him the highest attack range hero in the game barring sniper with maxed take aim. Why ever use a spear or sword? Having a slight better splash from multi-shot doesn't seem worth it. I'd suggest looking at Troll Warlord for inspiration. When he switches to melee he gains increased movement speed, armor, better BAT, and a chance to root on attack.

ayeempee replied 2 years ago

Actually, this is an oversight in my part. The original concept of this hero is he has three different swords with a normal one, the other one has cleave but higher BAT and the other one has longer range but less accuracy and another skill that changes based on what sword he is using (kinda like Troll) but when I changed it to Weapon Master, i stripped the uniqueness of every blade he is using. Thanks for pointing that out.
