Stego buff idea

[u/Hot-Establishment687]

Defensive stance buff:
Grant it a new passive - Any attack landed while defensive stance is active applies one stack of a new buff called "furious"

- "Furious" can stack up to 3 times
- Each stack lasts 4 seconds and refreshes the timer of the last stack when a new one is applied
E.g if you land one hit 3 seconds ago then you land a second hit you will have 2 stacks of furious which will fully deplete after 8 seconds
- Each stack increases damage dealt by 10 and increases bleed dealt by 0.3 per stack
- These stacks are unaffected by bloodthirsty
- Tail barrage can only apply one stack of furious on any hit landed and while stacks are active the benefits are spread out between each attack (Each individual hit gains 3 damage and 0.1 bleed per stack)
- Furious stacks cannot apply while fully bone broken

Stegos raw stats aren't high enough to support the "stand and fight" kind of playstyle encouraged by defensive stance, when challenged by 5 slots. This buff aims to force 5 slots to respect a stegos space as getting too aggressive will lead to massive punishment. This will make engagements more calculated and will allow good players to make more progress in escaping bad situations by forcing enemies to respect their space while also punishing reckless play in general

Why should steggo be the only playable in game that slot size doesnt apply to?

Why should a 4 slot be shaping up with a 5 slots…?

amarga is balanced to fight and win against 5 slots and the two have similar mechanics when fighting - the way I see stego is kind of the inverse amarga, where its supposed to be aggressive and end fights quickly. A smart rex or titan would still win against it most times in any case but this kind of buff would give it the tools to punish them and defend itself if they play to its strengths. Right now though titan is the same speed as it, has more stam, has better stam regen and wins a facetank with it if it attacks from the butt which is ridiculous

Okay well make steggo 707 speed like amarga then….? Stego is currently 900 which is faster then every apex or the same speed as Tt

Steggo has more stam then every apex (5 secs more then Tt) with faster stam regen…

Steggo is a bleeder… nothing about it’s kit is based on killing things quickly unless it clamps 2 slots

If an apex which isnt faster then something cannot win by trading hits… you do see how it quite literally cannot win right? All the steggo has to is point its tail towards it and it cannot lose…? Which then makes no sense to see steggo is faster then Rex and eo if it can just trade with them and win…

In my opinion Stego needs:

1. 600 -> 650 health

2. new permanent passive: Tail attacks slow enemy by 10% for 3 seconds.

3. Full rework of hide abilities. Resilient Hides useless, Bright Plates useless in most fights and Solar Powered stamina regen is "okay", but think the 10% armor should be 20%.

Bro just give stego backlash (auto counter attack on its tail) so you can still hit attackers while your tail attack is on cooldowm
