The Catalyst
A player who isn’t on the court to be a star, but to instead create Constellations

[ZONE]
KINDLING
-increases the users pass accuracy and speed
-A successful pass reduces the users ability cooldown by 1 second

BASE MOVES
[COOLDOWN] ~ 35 seconds
Flow Pass
The user delivers a precise and smooth pass that leaves a shimmering energy trail behind it. The team mate who catches this pass gains these buffs for 4 seconds.
-increased shot range
-Slight speed buff (15% ?)

Edit: May tweak this move to actually alter the strength of buffs depending on the speed of the player who receives it, standing still = minimal, while a full run = maximum buff

[COOLDOWN] ~ 50 seconds +
Constellation Conduit
-The user points at a team mate, and transfers the cooldown of that team mate’s ability onto themself, hence why it is 50 seconds +
-Can only be used on base moves
-Grants the team mate their ability

#

AWAKENING ANIMATION
(Must be on own side with the ball)

The court goes dark and is viewed from half, a shockwave/pulse of energy ripples like a wave across the court originating from The Catalyst. As it expands, the silhouettes of the team glow brightly, growing stronger with each wave that passes over them. The camera still focuses on the Catalyst and the ball begins to glow, as it glows the catalyst dribbles it into the ground and dashes powerfully past the camera with his team behind him.

#

AWAKENING MOVES

NEW MOVE
To Spark A Star
The catalyst is backing down a defender on the 3 as a team mate cuts infront of the camera and out of frame. On the ground, the team mate’s energy left a trail. The Catalyst being pushed closer to the energy, steps on it and ignites a spark. The camera follows this spark to show the teammate running towards the basket, jumping for a dunk without the ball.

“They yearn to be stars, not knowing I’m turning them into Constellations.”

The catalyst bounces the ball behind his back and the opponents into his team mates hand, the team mate dunks it as the flame catches up and explodes creating a star. The photographers take photos of the moment as the catalyst watches from behind

#

NEW MOVE
Replaces Flow Pass
Cooldown ~ once
Chain Reaction
(Pass cutscene, must have ball and look at the team mate you wish to pass to.)
The Catalyst stands at half court, time slowed, they push the ball forward as it splits into multiple glowing fragments which cascade and multiply, arcing through the court and multiplying. The fragments connect to team mates, as it hits the desired team mate it quickly rewinds. The Catalyst looks up and says

“One spark starts it all”

And passes them the ball with the camera following.

Grants the team mate the buffs from Flow shot except better.
-increased speed (25%?)
-Increased shot range

#

Chain Reaction was based off this (nuclear fission)

where are the uranium 235 rods bro

broken heath Jun 23, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

Tis the ball, the catalyst is the energy to set it off

#

Ball = The uranium in this

#

or, would catalyst be the uranium setting off reactions to cause others to explode / turn into stars

#

idk man

edgy arrow Jun 23, 2025, 8:47 PM

#

making other people explode does not sound good

broken heath Jun 23, 2025, 8:49 PM

#

Well, explode in a sense of having their potential explode. Like the birth of a star, hence why they make constellations. Turning their team into stars connected to each other

for a pass and ability that gets added onto?

broken heath Jun 27, 2025, 1:53 AM

does anyone have a pass move?

that is interceptable?

#

and the ~ means around,

and the other cooldown is 40 + a possible 5-50

Bullet pass, the unstoppable pass is 40 seconds, 5 more than the interceptable one

^, yeah did think of that when making it but with the current move set think having a purely passing style wouldn’t make it to OP considering it gives buffs and buffs team mates

True

35s and 45s is shortt

broken heath Jul 5, 2025, 5:17 PM

so what rarity is this style then?

Pressure bait I replaced with the ability below it called Constellation Conduit, I just kept pressure bait in there to reuse for a later concept

broken heath Jul 5, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

inner rampart so what rarity is this style then?

I would put it around legendary / Mythic ? Probably closer to legendary but being able to take someone’s cooldown and being able to buff. Alongside a guaranteed dunk + uninterceptable pass, it may be more mythic

#

So no clue tbh. I haven’t played in a few weeks so idk where this would compare

inner rampart Jul 5, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

broken heath I would put it around legendary / Mythic ? Probably closer to legendary but bein...

a mythic with those short of cooldowns?!😭

#

no bc mythics usually have cooldowns around 60s

broken heath Jul 5, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

yeah but these aren’t really really good abilities.

#

Plus the other cooldown is 45 seconds plus whatever the other one is, meaning it could be up to 100

inner rampart Jul 5, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

maybe its a bit hard for me to understand srry😭

broken heath Jul 5, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

Nah you’re all good, I wrote it so I understand it more lol. Comparing it to other styles, Flow Pass’ cooldown is hella short but is just a pass that can be intercepted. Pressure bait is gone and replaced with the other which is 40 seconds plus the cooldown of another base ability from a team mate

broken heath Jul 5, 2025, 6:46 PM

#

I don’t believe they are crazy low, low compared to others? Yes. But for what they provide I feel like the CD is fine. 35 seconds for normal pass that gives a lil buff seems fine considering the other team can shut it down by just intercepting it
