It's a controversial take perhaps, but with the recent addition of Elora, I thought bringing this topic up again in thread form would be good.

Maybe it can be implemented as a subclass or a way to be implemented in a character's description like CatBat
Elora's can say: "Supports teammates with aoe healing and does high damage"
N. Brio's: "Controls and pressures enemies with his creations and transformation"
Crash: "A all-rounder that's able to effectively collect, boost, and fight"

biggest issue I would have with it is what do they have for fast power charge then? scorers have crates and scoring, boosters are relic deposits and gems, blockers are denied and ko's. if they have only healing for it, would be really limiting
raven socket
Yeah, I was thinking it would be healing, tho maybe something like KO/Relic assists. Just supporting your team in general.
A top supporter badge would be a cool addition for this class, but idk how they would implement that.
Changes would have to be made to the other assist badges too, I think

I wouldn't completely be against this cause way too many people take the roles in this game too literally...

There likely was a support class planned at one point but ultimately got scrapped.

I can barely heal someone as Elora because they keep running away from healing 😅
Unless I'm at bank or gem pads.

IMO, I think blocker/booster/scorer is better since there's reasons why if you look at one of any classes bio.

I will say Elora does need some different classification because she gets her power back really slow because she's not fighting like a traditional blocker.
Like, it works out somewhat. Cause it stops her from behind absolutely busted for support, but since she's not the one fighting and denying wumpa or getting kills, she gets her powers back so slow.
Its kinda like... its gotta stay this way cause otherwise her getting her power back for supporting? Broken. Even if it was just like a partial charge from the person that she supported. Fucking yikes.

Elora looks to be more of a Scorer than a Blocker. She can hold 120 Wumpa maximum, which is as much as what Catbat and Spyro can hold. Why she’s able to hold that much compared to any other blocker is iffy
It’s like they purposefully gave her the wrong role to avoid being able to charge her powers so quick like you said

Yeah this is obviously a case of them not having the correct roles or proper ones made to fit the character.

Her damage output is a joke, I don't care what anyone says. Good luck stopping anyone from doing anything
scarlet gulch
Damage wouldn't even be an issue if she was just more of a staller/interruptor LOL

I keep getting damage and blocks mixed up..

Imagine making one of the event’s challenges revolve around getting 5 KOs with the Cartwheel Kick, which is the weakest attack she has 💀
She’ll end up staying pretty mid if they leave her attacks as weak as they are
raven socket
Idk why its Cartwheel and not flash kick
meager kraken
I think flash kick counts towards the cartwheel kick challenge
scarlet gulch
Flash Kick does work, cause that's what I did cause I'm stupid LMAO

We don't need classes like this, unnecessary class indeed. All chars can be supporter time to time. But 3 classes that we have rn get rewards when they do their job. (Items get activation) How will support classes get rewards then? How will you measure in the algorithm whether a support character is doing their job? More precisely, how will TFB do this?
This like game rework.
I also think that characters to be created for classes such as support characters will be boring. Factors such as not being able to do anything alone, being tied to the party and team, and not having proper hits will make the characters unfun. I wish Elora wasn't such a character.

I genuinely think that Booster is supposed to be the support class

Yeah literally.
