swapper kinda countered it because fuck you but in theory in you have higher energy than them the next round you can just hold them at gunpoint
Yeah, the effects were good
But i think the modifier was too low
yeye totally you had to invest way too much for it to be useful
specially with swapper in the game
next time i would recommend adding that they can’t attack you normally (apparently this wasn’t a thing), and that if you attack them only half of their defense is used. assuming a lower investment into using it, ofc
and adding a non-consecutive targeting too, just so that you can’t coerce someone like ten dozen times
i think if you increase the modifier to half it becomes too strong. maybe 0.35 would do good, not sure on the math on that but if you increase it beyond that then using only half of their defense is ~reasonable
realistically the only reason it shouldn’t be half is just because it’s too weak otherwise but
That was my origibal submission, ftr

also re: this
the reason it was that way is because i’ve seen a number of powers such as the Whirlwind Defense in my OP
they increase your shields a great amount. you should not be punished for increasing your shields with a power like that
I would say that if you spend a price to get shields, it should be applicable from block to burn tho
ah
rip
just got accidentally edited out ig
Though balance changes are all kinda hypothetical anyways since I probably am repeating powers
Kinda goes against the point of make your own

yea just. useful for theory later

Nah
That part got removed to help balance it
Which I’m fine with, but i feel like taking that out and tanking the modifier doubly nerfed it

FTR the mutations in my game were intended to be like, normal powers. in fact i took them from a list of concepts i had somewhere for actual powers that didn’t get used until then
i had a similar-ish mindset going into kyo’s stellar obliterator; I was going to try to give bad powers that are p bad but could be useful in the right circumstances. but i only got around to making these
the others were made by tutuu (except one but i cant find it)
ah fair
yea its uh. yeah
actually it could be considered an attack you have alternate options for but
Null Field healing you was intended to grant compensation for kyo being able to just nuke someone’s powers (very strong ability!) but uh
and gloves of gemini is only ever useful if you can duplicate a good power. which kyo had.
so the options there weren’t great but
also gloves of gemini are actually an accidental copy of a power from the archive that i stole from someone who stole it from there
Null Field was an actual power (that i stole) but originally it didn’t have the healing effect
the healing effect was added because forcefully applying it is kinda weird sometimes
