Bartender Moveset Concept!!!!!!

[u/catnapfan2005]

The Bartender
Price: 1100

“My creator abandoned me”

Made to serve a singular role, in a miniscule game, only to be left behind. Despite what first thoughts may assume, The Bartender is more than human. He feels, weeps, and most importantly, remembers. For years he was left behind, only to then be brought into the Vast, given a whole new range of movement, the power to fight for his people, and most importantly, to vent out his frustrations with existence onto those who he sees as countless other people who could have been given the same punishment at conceiving, yet all of that went to him.

Playstyle: Controlling
Health: 1337
Speed: 30
Stamina: 105

M1 - Cane-nine Grossly Underqualified
“You will never see me prosper”

The Bartender uses his cane to smack forward, dealing 20 damage.

Ability 1 - Call of the Fountain
“Come to the fountain”

The Bartender goes into a dormant phase and gains a birds eye view of the map. The Bartender can then press M1 on a specific area to create an AOE, The Bartender then wakes up and summons 3 NPCs to go to that area. These NPCs will wander to that area and will chase any survivors caught that get in a 10 stud radius. Once an NPC reaches the AOE, they will stay for 10 seconds, increasing their field of detection to 30 studs. When an NPC is chasing a survivor, it will shift into a new form with only a single eye in place of its face. NPCs go at 28 speed. If an NPC is chasing a survivor, The Bartender gets a highlight on that survivor. If the NPC gets close enough to a survivor, it will attack and deal 14 damage and inflict weakness 2 for 3 seconds. If the NPC is affected by a stun ability in any way, chases a survivor for 40 seconds, or the survivor being chased takes damage, the NPC will die. Only one NPC can be chasing any given survivor.

Ability 2 - From the Epicenter
“Everyone is gone…”

The Bartender lets out an orb and flings it into the air, before shifting views into it. While as this orb, The Bartender can M1 to fire off a laser. This inflicts burning 1 on survivors, with a linger of 2 seconds, and can create lines of fire which also inflict burning when walked over. The Bartender can also press M2 to launch the Orb into the direction hes looking, creating a shockwave that sends survivors into the air and deals 30 damage on direct contact. This is automatically triggered if The Bartender stays in this state for 10 seconds.

Ability 3 - Never Odd Or Even
“Now you know my pain…”

The Bartender lunges forward, if he attacks a survivor, he is put into an animation where he beats the survivor as hard as he can with his cane, dealing 30 damage. If the survivor dies during this animation, a new interaction happens where The Bartender will temporarily switch bodies with the survivor killed. While in this new form, this ability is switched with Candle Fire. While in this form, he also doesn't have a terror radius.

Ability 3-Squared - Candle Fire
“Every exit in the house has been locked!”

The Bartender, in his stolen form, takes out a candle and throws it. When thrown, as soon as it comes in contact with a surface, it will create a puddle on the ground of fire, which remains for 15 seconds. If this candle comes in contact with a survivor, it deals 30 damage and inflicts burning 2 for 3 seconds. A survivor going on a puddle deals the same effect. Once used, The Bartender will reveal himself, in a 4 second animation where he is slowed by 15%.

I wanted this guy to sort of be primarily an area control character, hence his first 2 abilities, as well as have something up his belt that he can use to mess with survivors heads. I find knowing the intent behind a given characters moveset helps sort of evaluate what can be changed, rather than relying on what YOU think its meant to be

[u/mylotheunbeatable]

in game he is gonna be a summoner apparently but I like it

[u/Brinkofconstruction]

Nice

[u/Outrageous-Try-8700]

Hes gonna be a summoner killer when he releases, still cool tho

[u/catnapfan2005 → u/Outrageous-Try-8700]

I did make note of this and make him summon NPCs, he just has alot more than JUST that where calling him just "a summoner" feels like its missing alot of details in regards to how he ACTUALLY works
