The gift of choosing our first Illuvial

[plain cedar]

I think being given the option to select our first illuvial t0 class or affinity or both would cultivate a sense of personalization and agency early in our Illuvium journey. We would be able to get a jump start on crafting team comps. This could be implemented during the tutorial instance by giving the Ranger cadets a sample of options on which illuvial to hunt first.

This idea comes from when Professor Oak gifted the new trainers with their first "choice" of starter pokemon. It wouldn't matter if our first t0 illuvial fits into our later team comps, but it would be cool if that first Illuvial could have a special Stat boost (not necessary)

Curious to know your thoughts.

This would mess with the current tutorial a bit however. Right now in the tutorial you go catch your first illuvial and lose the battle and then are given a matching synergy illuvial. But it would definitely be fun to be able to choose the initial team synergy at least.

Great. Pick your first illuvial AND your first weapon.

This will improve the diversity of what people can capture at the start. Right now starting with 2 earth, you don't want to face Air/Water.

[tepid sage]

Yeah good point. Currently the tutorial is missing the weapon and explaining the G ability. If it was there maybe players wouldn't have so much trouble capturing that initial doka.

The turorial makes you craft an earth sword. It should just filter the T1/S1 arnaments and let you craft whatever you like.

The best thing I can think of is. You pick the starter and the weapon in the character builder before even entering the overworld.

[tepid sage]

if you could already use the G ability in the tutorial then I completely missed it 🤣

[ripe trail]

Not sure you could. But you do get a sword. It's in your deck, not equipped.

[tepid sage]

ah yes, it's not equipped so it can't be used.

Great idea! 💯

The option to choose could be after the tutorial instance and then you land in Sancta Mesa with your chosen items/illuvial

[tepid sage]

Yeah that makes sense. Veteran players will most likely skip the tutorial anyway.

I'm hoping the tutorial is optional.

[bright valve]

They might add lore info in tutorial. I would do it for the story

[tepid sage]

tutorials should always be optional
