PLEASE ADD A DOWNSIDE THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE AMMO OR HEATH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE (minor exaggeration of my feelings for comedy)

Some ways to to this is a tweak that deals less or no damage to start but does more damage then a base shot a second or so later. I based this idea off of poison so you could just do that instead if your*  boring.
Another downside is if you added a range limit to weapons which could be interesting while definitely being better for some weapons then others.
Something else that could be done is that less damage is delt overall but a vulnerability effect is applied that amplifies damage**.

One last thing, if a dev reads this I would appreciate feedback on my ideas as I am always looking to improve.

*grammar is for the weak
**this could only apply to your damage or both you and your teammates, depends on the % of damage amplified.

where are you from @topaz otter ?

#

alright

#

I didn't understand

#

anything

#

xD

#

so that'd be a joker that deals no damages because they're stacked, but at some point, it deals all the damages

#

right?

#

with a bonus*

topaz otter
#

thats the gist of it

fervent night
#

this is so hard to dev to be honest

#

the whole damage system just doesn't fit that idea

#

I like the idea tho, it could lead to new gameplays

#

but idk how the fuck I would add that to the game xD

topaz otter
#

I thought that it could work like how poison does in other games where it applies a status effect that deals the damage while the attack itself does less damage but I can see how that would be a lot of work just to add one joker

#

hmm

#

I see

#

it's fine xD

topaz otter
#

i think its because i used * *

fervent night
#

I added it to the joker idea box

#

but the chance it ever happen is

#

1%

topaz otter
#

alr, so since complicated status effects aren't easy to make I came up with one that should be easy to make: lower fire rate but higher damage

fervent night
#

wait no I see a way

#

to make it work

#

hmm

#

ok chances got to 20% lol

This is reminding me of the Bloodmark mechanic in Megabonk, but I doubt it'll be THAT lethal.

#

I was thinking about megabonk when comeing up with the idea

vivid jay
#

To be fair, blood mark is probably only good there against common monsters AND you need fast attack speed

#

Seems like your idea is just “hit shots to blow up”

#

Which… might be weaker than just killing things. Unless it has a secondary effect when done

#

Wait, I got it. Let them be Jokers that let you apply elemental damage with primaries.

#

A nerf to main damage, but eventual magical bursts

#

Just gotta land your shots

It applies stacks, and if the monster’s current HP meets that limit, it dies

#

I’ve seen it work on hordes often
