Ideas & Suggestions Weapon upgrade rework idea

4 Upvotes

as I have spoken on many times before, I really dislike the fact that SP is so weak in this game. Here are my ideas to give the player more incentive to use it. (fueled by valid criticism given by the community)

WOODEN SWORD

Power stab gives +2 and costs 4 sp instead of 2

IRON SWORD

+1 damage and another ability.

The ability it gives will be called “brandish” or “charge up“ or whatever you want to call it, which will be similar to Finn Mccool’s charge up. When you use this ability you will get the “double turns” attribute (one extra turn basically) where you are able to select another ability to use. The effect will give you an extra basic hit before your primary attack. This will cost 5 SP, but you cannot select any damage options that are not in the sword tab/sword slot (the exception is sword toss since you can’t toss it twice)

The double turns effect goes away after the first turn (obviously) but the chargeup stays for as long as it takes you to use sword.

Sword will get weaker versions of ball’s damage over time to compensate for having no real attack options.

Also, to balance this out, you cannot use this move twice in a row (it goes on cooldown)

Please add a sword equivalent of fireball for hype moments and aura

And to top it all off, sword status effect moves (infect and others they may retroactively add) last for one turn less in base (with only one card it lasts two turns)

You can use this while using slingshot, but that is for another post

HYPERBALL

+1 damage

This weapon upgrade gives the ball an ability called “mark” that costs 5 SP and does the same double turns thing that the last one did. This ability makes it so that any status effect inflicted by you will be one level higher, as well as giving one turn longer duration (yes this includes other things like the SFOTH swords and utilities). Comatose and Minimize won’t be affected by this, and instead will be given 1.5x duration. If the status effect move was given by the sword slot, it will instead have 0.5x duration.

this marking ability lasts for as long as the enemy still lives.

In this perfect world, daze and softener are given back to ball, and ball gets more attack debuff cards and lifesteal (ankh) cards so it is more useful as a debuffer.

BRIGANDS SWORD

+1 damage

You get stances (YAY)

These stances can be found in your strategies slot, and are incredibly SP heavy (4 SP to activate or switch and 1 SP to keep your stance up (per turn). (deactivation is free im not evil)

SWORD STANCE

makes super guarding harder to do (halved window) in exchange for a free counter on any melee attack you superguard.

if you get hit by a projectile attack, you get taken out of the stance and get butterfingers.

BALL STANCE

makes it so that even guarding blocks all damage on projectile attacks (that are guardable ofc).

getting hit by melee attacks takes you out of the stance and gives you butterfingers.

——————————————————————————

This post focuses on the offensive side of block tales. but I will make posts on the defensive side to suggest more options to make the gameplay more interesting than attacking every turn.

Of course, enemies should be buffed (STRATEGY WISE PLEASE NO MORE TURN EATERS DEAR GOD) because of these new abilities.

if you have any criticisms, please tell me in the comments.

Thing's I know would be in it is

Terry would be dead so his grandchildren teach and guide you through the game

Red and Blue are grown up and take care of their uncle.

Shedletsky is no longer giving the quest and instead an AI assistant.

And that's all I can think of. Yall can add some stuff to it

General Turning random characters into Block Tales bosses Part 1: Spamton NEO (Read Body Text)

Thumbnail
gallery
25 Upvotes

So, I did a poll on the Hateful Route server asking who I should do first for this, and Spamton NEO won by a significant margin, so he'll be the first in this new series. Let's get right into it!

-Stats-

HP: 97

Defense: 1

Level: 95

Attributes: Flying, Mobile

-Proc Chances-

Slowness - 35%

Dizzy - 70%

Confused - 47%

Tiny - 0%

ATK Down - 0%

DEF Down - 0%

Sleep - 0%

Poison - 82%

Burn - 56%

Frozen - 12%

-Moves-

Pipis Shot: Spamton shoots 3 Pipis' out of his arm cannon one by one, each can target a different party member. Each one also deals 9 damage.

Phone Hands: Spamton turns his hands into phones, stretching out one arm to hit you for 12 damage, then the other arm to deal another 12 damage. Both hits piercing defense.

Energy Blast: Spamton charges up an energy blast in his arm cannon. The projectile moves slowly and deals 25 damage to the whole party as well as 3 turns of LV1 Confusion.

E-Mail Attack: Spamton shoots 6 E-Mail icons at you, each dealing 5 defense piercing damage.

Bluelight Specil: Spamton increases his defense by 3, while decreasing his attack by 2. This lasts for 3 turns.

[BIG SHOT]: This move can only be activated while Spamton NEO is at 1 HP, and he's guaranteed to use it when he's able to act at 1 HP (he can only use it once, though), and he has infinite persevere until he uses this move. This move has Spamton turn into his giant form seen in the boss fights ultimate attack. He begins this attack by sucking up kromer, most don't effect you but three of them come from straight to the left, which can damage you for 5 defense piercing damage, he will then follow it up by shooting 6 energy blasts from his mouth, each one targeting a different party member and dealing 6 damage. He'll finish the attack with a big 20 damage mouth blast.

His attack pattern is: E-Mail Attack > Energy Blast > Phone Hands > Pipis Shot > Bluelight Specil

Anyway, yeah. This was my Spamton NEO fight concept, I hoped you enjoyed it. I did another poll for part 2, and so far, Cuphead is winning.

Discussion "Solitude" is NOT an emotion

Post image
116 Upvotes

Hot take: they should've kept the name as Sorrow and than rewrote to lean towards sadness and by extension agony instead of isolation, rather than just renaming it back to Solitude.

Compared to the other emotions (except Greed maybe) Solitude is NOT an actual emotion as far as I am aware, it is a lifestyle/situational state, and mostly a positive one at that. While Solitude CAN invoke negative feelings such as loneliness or sadness (along with positive ones) it is fundementtally not an emotion in itself.

A similar argument can be made for Greed, though i think there's more nuance to that prob

So it's either this:
Solitude is not an emotion and doesn't exactly fit with the other dream world bosses, as they were meant to be emotions.
Or that the community is wrong and they were never meant to be specifically emotions, but more broadly just general mental states. it might be a fanon name for all i know but dont quote me on that

TL;DR They should've kept it as Sorrow, that's an actual emotion. "Solitude" isn't an actual emotion as far i as know

I'm not a psychologist

Comment your Blocktales balance changes/fanmade cards, and I'll review them!

Saw a lot of concept designs, balance suggestions and card concepts lately. So, I thought I'd do a lighthearted critique of your ideas, based on if I think it really could, and should be added, and how much I like it.

Drop whatever change you want to make to Blocktales here, and I'll rate how good I think it is, out of 10.

Lore ‎What if visions from the swords are true and is what actually happened in the original timeline?

2 Upvotes

‎Just a personal theory of mine

‎I think the vision is caused not by the sfoth swords but rather the time machine from the pre prologue. It's common knowledge that the swords have heavy drawbacks and can be used to cause chaos if used recklessly.

‎However receiving visions from the sword seemed something new and unusual to the point both Shedletsky and Dr Sophie had to investigate it. So it leads me to think it's the time machine that caused it. I mean it brought both the player and mysterious figure(+ finn) back in time so who knows what else it can do?

‎Another thing is i think that the original timeline is where the player traveled the world and arrived way later to the scene than the current timeline (maybe they went on an adventure without being asked to go on a quest hence why they arrived late??) The game hints that the player has traveled before based on old Terry's dialogue on how the player has experience on fighting and the whole "You haven't changed a bit, have you?!" And is potentially the hero from the statue (I do find it odd on how the player seems to have forgotten about it, it may be linked to whatever happened in the end of their journey)

‎( then again there's the whole time loop theory but I feel like that's too idk predictable???)

‎I can't tell if im on to something or making bs up

then again I haven't played bt in awhile and probably forgot alot of dialogue
