combat

[crystal cloud]

This is just what i would like to see, hopefully you will share my vision
In my opinion we have enough autobattler in arena. There is normal/ranked arena, leviathan, survival, the new gauntlet mode. I would like the overworld to be more dynamic and fun. I want the ow to feel more like a story where you explore the map, enter a cave and stumble upon a sear that turns to you and start raging. Having different weapons, fighting in order for him not to kill you and you putting him into submission. And as many people want a buddy system, why not use your captured illuvials to help you into battle? Imagine your way up from fighting a lynx with your doka to fighting sear with your jotun.

I share that vision too @crystal cloud . OW combat is coming, but at his initial stage will not replace the auto-battler part

I would also like for the long term plan of OW to get rid of the auto-battler component and only have you fight the illuvial you hunt

If we can only capture the one we fight though we lose the cool component of hunting/shooting all illuvials

Maybe an idea could be to be as it is, but when you enter an encounter you and your buddy illuvial are in a 1v3 against the 3 illuvials of the encounter. Not in an arena setting but in an OW combat setting

A cool thing would be you starting a fight with lets say a linx, he howls and summons 2 other illuvials that will fight alongside him, allowing you to keep the surprise of "scanning" and allowing you to capture any illuvial you want from those 3
Like a pack thing. Alot of illuvials go in packs.
We know from lore that alot of illuvials bring stones to sear in order to calm him down. What if you fight one of those little illuvials that befriended a sear?
I know this means alot of work, but i saw what the team can do given enough time

Ideally the combat fight against those 3 illuvials would take place in the OW where you attacked the first one but but if its too hard maybe have a small arena depending on the map where the 1v3 take place

I made a similar post already if you’d like to refer to it as well for ideas #1248272997958160417

why not just have them roaming in packs to begin with or other illuvials swarming you as you fight kinda like you mention. It's overworld combat, not instanced small arena fight necessarily

somehow i didn't read your comment right above that basically explains the alternatives :p

[crystal cloud]

Yes, a great idea to be roaming in packs or groups ❤️
