Skills: Stalwart Guardian (Seraph)

Post by Meric »

Seraph
60cp
Child of Corpus Machina or Brass Wings (I prefer wings)
Skill:
  • For 1ap/5mp a Seraph may pick a good character on the same tile as them.
  • Until either character dies, either char moves off the tile or it is toggled off the Seraph will receive any incoming single attack that would hit that target so long as the cost is met. Misses do not require a cost.
  • The cost of receiving any attack is 1ap and 10mp. If the Seraph is unable to pay the cost the attack progresses as normal. Does not go into negative. For most Seraphs this would mean 5 blockable attacks at Max MP
  • If the Seraph receives the attack it will execute as if occurring against the Seraph thus acknowledging all the Seraph's defensive capacities such as auras, soak, immunities etc.
  • When trigged by an attack it applies the status effect "Occupied" to the Seraph as they are busy defending. This lasts 15mins and means the Seraph cannot gain MP in anyway besides the normal tick. Ergo, cannot be cheesed with MP potions, energize etc
  • Applies to pets as well but not AOE
  • Based on if the attack would have hit the intended target. So only their defence applies.
Rationale:
  • Seraph is abit of a meh tank this breath. Would be nice to have a factional defensive boon that otherwise negatively impacts attacker/raiders.
  • A lot of the Seraph skills are active skills this breath such as Defensive Stance and their weapons. Would be nice to have a passive impact as well.
  • A Seraph at full MP is 59. So this would block at most 5 attacks within a 14min window. So whilst annoying to deal with it wouldnt be raid breaking and would leave the Seraph less 5ap and 50mp worse off.
  • Thematically on point for Seraphs to protect those around them.
  • I could have sworn there was a similar skill floating around between WMs/Imps so Im hoping precedence exists.

Sunset Shimmer attacked you with a Frozen Gauntlet and hit for 62 points of holy damage. She was hiding! This attack was charged with righteous wrath! Their body strained with holy resolve as they added physical power to this attack! (2021-11-22)

I like the idea of this.
The skill seems somewhat similar to Benevolent Safeguard: https://wiki.nexusclash.com/wiki/Benevolent_Safeguard

(but note I like this "protecting each other", seems to fit with what good guys/girls do.)
Note that my avatar is merely the coat of arms of the city where I live.
But feel free to add additional meaning to that.
