This might be a meh one but here goes: Killing an enemy provides a 3 sec speed boost, but getting hit will significantly slow you down temporarily. This would stack with other things that provide speed buffs.

Has kind of the Hunter's harpoon issue where you speed up and slow down so sporadically you end up taking more damage, aside from that, slowing down when taking damage would just result in you taking more damage in most circumstances, but that could just be me.

No offense, buts seems more like a you-problem lol

maybe it could be made into like... a smooth thing? so you get the boost, and it dissipates over time?
still comet

Maybe the speed up part but the slowdown is definitely an issue
ripe lotus
Ok, but the slowdown is kinda intentional
still comet
Maybe you get a very small speed boost from each enemy killed that goes away when hit?
still comet
Yeah but the speed is extremely temporary and is useless against most bosses
There's a lot of risk all the time for a reward you only get very little out of
ripe lotus
Ok? Doesnt have to be useful against bosses
still comet
The only times this would be useful is against large swarms of melee opponents, but the downside is active at all times
still comet
If you take any damage you slow down?
still comet
Yeah enough time to take more damage
still comet
No?
still comet
Taking more damage for taking damage isn't very exciting
ripe lotus
Okay, but it adds risk to taking the relic
Its Curse of Leaden Foot but you get a buff for killing
still comet
For 3 seconds
If it stacked over time and you got punished for losing it I'd have no issue with it
ripe lotus
Ok, buts no different from Broken Shield
still comet
Like 1% per kill up to 20%
ripe lotus
Or Warthog Underbelly
still comet
Neither of those give speed or rewards for killing enemies
ripe lotus
If you just dont take dmg, then youre fine
But they give good rewards
In exchange for risks
still comet
The upside isn't even worth it for the downside
still comet
3 seconds of speed per kill will only really do anything in end game
ripe lotus
Just dislike it and move on 🙏
harsh hazel
bro he knows 😭
ripe lotus
No??
harsh hazel
anyways cool idea
also what rex said
aka the slow down should be gradual instead of an instant unexpected slowdown
same thing for the speed up
modest girder
Should be something other than a tire though, like maybe a wooden wheel?
ripe lotus
Its really just for the pun lol
The relic itself doesnt really have to fit the theme considering foam bat exists
modest girder
Oh wow, i was thinking real hard about if there were any existing items that don't match the time period and i completely missed that one!

No
Foam bat is on theme
Foam bats dont hurt much but can be condensed and worn down to hit much harder, they usually have a metal core
ripe lotus

I was referring to the fact that Foam Bat doesn’t fit a medieval aesthetic :/
😑

I was referring to the fact that Foam Bat doesn’t fit a medieval aesthetic :/
hence why its a relic
ripe lotus
…
Yes
That was my point for why Flat Tire as a name would not be an issue for a relic in this game
upper glacier
well i never said it was
ripe lotus
I was proving that to someone else bro 😭 🤦
modest girder
well i never said it was
I said it doesn't fit the theme (as in time period)
They pointed out there are cases of items that don't fit the theme (as in the time period)
You said they are on-theme misunderstanding our use of "theme" as the relic's concept and its game mechanic
