#Frog Legged Beetle (my interpretation)

Before I get started I wanted to say that I take heavy inspiration from PineappleCeilingFan

Frog legged beetle (Sagra Femorata) is a beetle that originates in southeast Asia. They are vibrant metallic beetles that have legs like frogs. They are also very skilled flyers. I think this beetle would be good at air challenging and controlling the balls on the field maybe even a reverser. I could see some fun mix ups with this beetle.

Size of beetle would be around firefly with hind legs bigger than goliaths hind legs.

The three main classes this beetle would fit in are:
Speedster
Trickster
Reverser

Passive Ability:
I think a double jump (that would keep your momentum) would fit this beetle the most.

Offball ability:
A leap that is able to be charged up (like how potato charges his off ball) It leaps in the direction you are aiming not charged up little more than one dung dash. When fully charged it would be the same length as 3 dung dashes. Charge time would vary between 2-4 seconds. You are able to do it in the air as well.
(bolded part of the ability is stuff that is not set in stone)
CD is 27-35

Onball ability:
You grab the ball with little legs and with you big legs you kick the ball which boosts you and the ball. with these active one left click = one kick. Your limited to 3 kicks which are equivalent to 3/4th of a headbutt boost by a goliath.
CD is 25-30

Skin: frog style skin with a pastel green color, frog eyes, webbed feet, and tongue with jiggle physics.

yeah this is great

#

offball should have groundpound after landing a fully charged jump

i like this

#

like a karate chop

fierce viper
#

3 Goliath headbutt boosts feels really strong

daring grove
#

i was refering to one boost being a goliath headbutt

daring grove
#

wait nvm i said that, in that case what should it be i dont really have much to compare like 3/4 of a goliath headbutt?

i really like your interpretation of my frog legged beetle idea! honestly i think your idea is more balanced overall than mine as my idea is kinda all over the place tbh. Honestly, after reading this I might like your idea better than my own!

i really like the idea of making the F.rog L.egged B.eetle either a mid-air controller or a ground based momentum preserver.
Your ideas for making him a powerful air skirmisher able to snatch balls mid air with his off-ball and maintain control of the ball in air with his on-ball seems really fun and interesting!!!!!
DISCLAIMER I AM NOT SUPER KNOWLEDGEABLE BUT I HAVE IDEAS ABOUT BALANCE!: I'm not exactly sure how balanced FLB would be, however limiting his off-ball to only being used when touching a surface might be better because of just how mobile FLB would be otherwise. His off ball could have a certain amount of charge instead of a set cooldown that gets charged with moving on a solid surface. The longer the ability is charged, the more charge it uses up. While mid-air, the off ball could change into a different ability such as a leap that follows a specific trajectory to the ground wherever the player is looking (obviously would have a limited range so you cant just headbutt upwards and then cross the map). This new ability charging system would incentivize the FLB to spend more time on the ground, instead of just forcing the FLB to wait for a cooldown to finish. It also gives the player more agency over how exactly they use their off ball, when they decide to spend charges, and allows for saving charges for recovery. It also helps balance the FLB because if ground movement charges the abilities, then spending all of your time in the air (like ladybug and clicker) wont be feasible and would make the beetle less annoying to play against. Cheede and anyone else who reads this please lmk what you think, and be brutally honest.

bring ts back

#

onball could be nerfed a bit

#

less range
