Divine Revolte Brainstorming

[serene quest]

I have a kit idea for our new S2 demon.

Divine Revolte

HP: 130
ATK: 13
DEF: 13
SPD: 13

Ability: Focus. Revolte starts with 100 Focus. Every time Revolte takes 1 DMG, reduce his focus by 1. For every 25 focus Revolte loses, lose 1 Divine Cleaving Sword.
Sub-ability: Divine Cleaving Swords. Revolte starts with 4 Divine Cleaving Swords. When Revolte loses a sword, lose 1 ATK, 1 DEF, and 1 SPD.

Moves

Flurry of Blades (x2): Deal one 3 DMG hit for every Divine Cleaving Sword. Costs 4 HP for every hit. Transforms into Bare-Handed Strike when Revolte has no more swords.
Predatory Rampage (x2): Deal 8 DMG. If Revolte is at 70 HP or less, deal 15 DMG instead. Costs 11 HP. Transforms into Bare-Handed Strike when Revolte has no more swords.
Tail Whip (x2) - Deal 7 DMG. Opponent’s DEF-3 and SPD-3 for two turns. Costs 5 HP. Transforms into Flurry of Blades after Revolte’s HP is reduced to 80 for the first time this combat. If Revolte has no swords, transforms into Bare-Handed Strike instead.
Riposte (x2): Priority+2. TrueDef+20 for one turn. If attacked this turn, gain 2 ATK and 3 SPD for two turns. Transforms into Power Through when Revolte has no more swords.
Power Through (x1): Priority+2. Heal 15 HP. At the end of the next 3 turns, lose 5 HP.
Enchanted Armaments (x2): Gain 2 ATK and 2 SPD. If Revolte’s ATK is less than opponent’s DEF, set Revolte’s ATK equal to opponent’s DEF and lose 8 HP. Transforms into Power Through when Revolte has no more swords.
Bare-Handed Strike (x0): Priority+1. 9 DMG. Costs 12 HP.
Hemmung: Nebeladora - Bewitching Fog (x1): Reduce opponent’s ATK, DEF, and SPD by 2 for 3 turns. Every turn, discard one card from the opponent’s hand and add a Foggy to the opponent’s hand.
Hemmung: Nebeladora - Creeping Fog (x1): At the end of the next 2 turns, deal 2 DMG between 1-3 times (max total of 4 hits).
Jung: Imposter Among Us (x1): Sometime in 2-4 turns, deal 6 DMG with 100% DEF Pierce to the opponent.
Solide: Medrozobalt (x2): Deal 7 DMG and gain 5 DEF for one turn.
Status Card: Foggy: Remove from deck when played.

Revolte’s concept is based around a deck that changes characteristics as the fight goes on like his fight with Stark and Genau as well as supporting moves from his cadre

What's a cadre

[serene quest]

He starts with a stat-focused multihit set that tries to exploit temporary debuffs from Bewitching Fog, Tail Whip, and Riposte

[serene quest]

I meant it like his posse

[viral ledge]

LETS GO JUNG!

[serene quest]

As Revolte takes more damage, his set becomes much more focused on single big hits with him both losing ATK and his predatory strike gaining damage

Finally, when all swords are broken, he enters a desperation mode. Being unable to block and use most sword moves but having easy access to a priority move, Bare-Handed Strike

He acts kind of like a berserker in many ways and is hyperoffense based

He has limited permanent scaling in his Enchanted Weapons move. Giving only +2 ATK and +2 SPD. But its secondary effect let’s him remain even with defensive scalers at the cost of his HP

He has high HP but his HP costs are also high and he has no natural way of gaining DEF

He is in essence an anti-scaling character who relies on his strong offense and durability to win early and becomes somewhat weaker yet still dangerous in the end game

My main questions to the tcg mod guys is what is the criteria for characters getting added and like how many do they plan to add will more get added the more popular tcg gets or are there not enough people to help code all that

[serene quest]

They used to be selected by a mixture of voting and developer preference with every patch

That probably will be different given the changes in team and priorities

[serene quest]

Characters implemented should be depicted in the anime though their move sets may take inspiration from things in the manga

[viral ledge]

Noteseses

[serene quest]

Feel free to create kits for future characters though. I’ve made kits for characters well ahead of the anime.

[viral ledge]

Haven't read the manga myself probably will after golden land

[twin pelican]

Criteria for characters is whether they have enough known info and anime appearances to make a unique deck

We do need some help coding but at this point most of the work is not making new characters

[thick rune]

Genau reveal

[serene quest]

@hybrid terrace what do you think about this concept?

[serene quest]

I’m trying to think of something for him

[thick rune]

Ohhh

[twin pelican]

This kit is fun, I like the ability and how it has mechanics to split the fight into like explicit phases

If you want something else to brainstorm I was thinking of making mana detection / mana concealment it's own mechanic which flamme, fern, serie, frieren, mana detection, etc would interact with so maybe nebeladora would too

[blazing shore]

130? too high

[serene quest]

His HP costs are pretty high to balance that and he can’t gain permanent DEF by his cards

He also gets generally weaker with more damage on him because he loses stats and hits on his flurry of blades

Also fits in with the fact that he has extreme durability by lore and it’s only 5 HP more than Stark

[serene quest]

Hmm I’ll try to think on it

[twin pelican]

Based on the deck not particularly
I could see an HP cost reduction and slight HP reduction being good tho

[serene quest]

I also finally came up with Land concept

[twin pelican]

Oh nice I'll check that out too

[serene quest]

It’s in the Land thread that already exists

[twin pelican]

Surprised nobody has come up with a genau kit yet since that's probably the one that'll be added right after kanne lawine lol

Could change tho
And well you guys have plenty of time

[serene quest]

I have some ideas but I don’t really have a gimmick for him that ties everything together

[twin pelican]

Makes sense

[serene quest]

He just kinda flies around and hits things with his wing

He also does a storm of feathers I guess

[twin pelican]

He's got good animations but maybe not a lot of "moves"

[serene quest]

Yeah

Or more like I can come up with individual moves but there’s no inherent synergy or concept that binds them together

[twin pelican]

I see

[serene quest]

I also have a Richter idea but he’s incredibly simple lol

Just has a limit break mechanic essentially

[twin pelican]

If he appears again in the manga then sure

But otherwise might not make the cut

[serene quest]

I think there may be something to having him modify terrain as a broader more interesting concept

But don’t have an idea how that even works in practice

[twin pelican]

Terrains would probably be some kind of effect for both opponents

But I got no ideas

[serene quest]

Have him set up Trick Room

[twin pelican]

Would be kinda cool to have physical matter spells be represented somehow

[hybrid terrace]

Haven't seen the new season, avoiding spoilers rn

[serene quest]

You should watch it

It’s pretty good

[viral ledge]

youre adding kanne lawine 🥹

[hybrid terrace]

Talking like I'm avoiding it

I'm really busy with school stuff this year
