Suggest a New Item! ~ New Hero Levelling Rewards

[Dale]

Edit: Thanks everyone for the hundreds of ideas, I've pretty much locked in the 30 new items now. Most of them are based on an idea in this thread. I'll lock the thread now just so no one spends a large amount of time submitting new ideas. If you think you have a really great idea, you can still post it in the suggestions channel on the Discord.

Big ol axe that gains attack damage between attacks and resets after attack.
Buff steal item / Item that transfers debuffs

Iron Knot that raises def by 1 per x seconds
Blood Drinker - Heal for each bleed effect or enemy bleeding
Some sort of item that steals stats from allies.
Items that inflict slow on enemies

No idea if any of that actually works balance wise. Really enjoying the game so far!

[Retromation]

I don't have a specific idea yet, but encouraging varied team compositions instead of basically needing "true" tanks I think is a great direction to take since the team customization you feel you have access to on Corruption 0 is one of the game's biggest strengths. Prized Regalia for example is a great item to use as a baseline for what I am talking about in this regard since it is a tanky item that is nearly worthless on tanks.

It is a tricky line to walk since regular tanks don't particularly need a buff, but I think creating a world where Frostmancer, Pyromancer, Wildmage, etc were all super valid tanks if you got a correct set of items would be fantastic since their passives almost beg to be utilized in that creative way. This is obviously something that could be tackled with a slight buff to survivability on non-tanks, but I think items could be a great way to tackle it as well.

The items that I think truly make me the most excited to use are ones that help you think out of the box and use a character in a way that they maybe aren't expressly intended to be used.

Shuffle potion that swaps frontline and backline positions and resets aggro
Stat swap potion that gives a buff that swaps attack and def for x seconds (enemies to)
Bees in a jar - fill empty spaces with beeeeeeeeees!!!! (work like illusionist skill)
Jar of Dirt - does nothing, sells high
Jarate - remove enemy hidden buff and add %defense debuff for 8 seconds
Juice that makes you explode - give your characters a fire stack, if they get koed while its active deal damage to all enemies
Quill bow +50% spd -50%/-30%/-20% attack
Orange GI lose 10% max hp per second but attack stat x2,3,4
Opalessence +5 to random stat - 5 random stat each second
Also give crit items big red crit text when they activate

[Anima]

I agree with some of the above statements, items encouraging additional synergy/role switch ups with different characters would be great. Some rough ideas I had were:
Flame shell-similar to frost shell, increasing defense per stack of burn, allows additional pyromancer/paladin synergy while making the flame sword actually worth getting (imo)
Fortifying poison- same deal as above, gain defense per stack of poison and or gain shield
Sticky axe- every attack decreases enemy speed by 2% (basically reverse whirlwind axe)
Guilty pleasure- For every negative ailment afflicted on you, gain attack/def/speed/mp charge (any or all, mostly an ancient item idea)
Spontaneous shrapnel- bleed effects spread to adjacent enemies and additionally slow them by 2% per stack
Vitality vacuum- every tick of bleed damage raises your defense/hp by 2/2% or restores hp by that amount
Bloodthirsty armor- All bleed damage (ally and enemy) grants you additional shield
Cursed shield- Your attack and defense stats/bonuses are switched
Converting obelisk- All blessings are converted to hp/mp gain
witch doctors spellbook- Any form of healing produced by this character is amplified and redirected as attack damage
Lightbender- cloak that grants hidden, but -2 mp gain or +10 active ability use
Thief's dagger- while hidden, gain +2 attack/sec
Book of Malice- gain + 1 attack for every stack of negative aliments imposed on enemy
Neurotoxin/concentrated acid- Any poison damage inflicted additionally lowers speed/def
Mana sipper- grants large boost to attack but significantly lowers mp gain/raises active ability cost
bashing shield- Any shield gain is reduced and instead increases attack
Atlas pendent: grant shield equal to your HP (high %) but greatly reduce speed, either single or party wide
Glass gauntlets- less def you have=more attack or speed

That's all I got for now, obviously these need to be balanced, just wanted to think out the box a bit and give some viability/switch up some characters. Also sorry for the terrible names LOL

[exitmusic07]

I haven't gotten too far in the game, but I think that blood damage boosting items would be cool. From what I have seen, There are some ways to inflict bleeds, i.e bard and serrated daggers. Maybe an ancient item that on hit, boots all bleeds damage on a target by 1.2? Idk.

[Pendrag2k]

Totem (or totems in conjunction with a Shaman class?)- when the item is equipped, at the beginning of each combat or when the totem deploys, the player has to select which of a few different effects it'll produce. Mild heal, mild speed increase, mild debuff to the enemy, etc.

To what retro is saying here, it might be cool to have unlockable versions of heroes that change their roles. Turn the alchemist into a healer, frost mage to a tank, etc.

[gnarly]

Here's a couple item ideas for each rarity:

Ring of Favor (Common): +15/30/45 Starting MP. Gain 1/2/3 Minor Blessings whenever you use your Active Ability.
Battle Armor (Common): +50/100/150 HP. Whenever you are attacked, gain +5/10/15 Max HP and +1/2/3 Defense.

Volatile Vial (Rare): +5/10/15 Attack. Gain +1/2/3% Attack for each Negative Effect on your target (up to +15%/30%/45% Attack).
Warding Cloak (Rare): +100/200/300 HP. Stun, Silence, and Disarm effects on you have their duration reduced by 25%/50%/75% and are applied to your target as well.

Twincast Gloves (Ancient): Your Active Ability casts an additional time for 50%/75%/100% effectiveness (damage, healing, shields, status effects), but the MP cost is doubled and cannot be reduced below its normal cost.
Item-in-a-Can (Ancient): At the start of combat, this transforms into a random nonupgraded/+1/+2 item of any rarity except Item-in-a-Can. At the end of combat, add that item to the item rewards.

[Silly Me]

One of the big holes right now is in my opinion bleed synergies. There are three heroes and one item that apply bleed, but the only synergy with that I can think of is the Fiends mana generation. And then you have the defensive bleed synergy of Enchanter's Chainmail and Vampiric Guard (love that one btw). I'd love to see more items and potentially heroes that synergize with bleed, focusing on attack oriented builds.

I'm bad at comping up with specific items/effects but some simple ones could include:
Increased % or flat dmg against a bleeding target based on number of stacks or as a debuff on the target.
% crit against bleeding targets.
Healing against bleeding targets - e.g. the Fiends heal could be based on stacks of bleed.
Inflicting self bleeding to cause some sort of effect - e.g. if the Bloodmages effect caused him to bleed rather than lose % hp, or an item that caused you to apply bleed to yourself in order to deal extra dmg,
Damage/speed buff based on number of bleeding targets/stacks.
Consuming stacks of bleed to trigger some effect.

Now this would be an absolutely awesome above and beyond thing to add, yes. Could be a good way to sorta add new heroes without needing new art and letting the characters be reframed in a different light.

[(ง ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)งBonesMcSpook]

-Chance to crit dealing defense, +defense or speed
-Chance to proc active ability on hit 5/10/15%
-Chance to counter attack with bleed (Or when hit apply bleed to both you and them)
-Increase % damage dealt from all sources based on missing hp
-Reduce damage taken by flat amount of defense, 10/12.5/15% EDIT: Or an aura that protects the party by 5/7.5/10% of defense
-Heal based on damage dealt from effects
-Reduce effect of debuffs by x% so frost lowers speed by 2% rather than 4% for example
-When ally should take lethal damage, transfer 25/50/75% of your health to them once per fight

I'd really love a chance to counter attack or shield self on hit but that's just the brawlers passive

[Tyrant]

Most of these I'd hope would serve to assist in making diverse comps less tank-dependent, as well as offering more risky power tradeoffs:

Defender's Rapier

+10/20/30 Attack - +10/20/30 Armor
Strike back at every 3rd/2nd/- attacker.
(this counts as an attack and resets the attack bar)

Weighed Scales

At the start of combat, enemies at the back lose 30/50/70% of their Max HP.
Enemies at the front increase their Max HP by 30/50/70% of their Max HP and heal for the same amount.

Onion Plate

Your Defense is set to 0. Your Max HP and Defense cannot be increased or reduced.
Every Attack and Active Ability damage you take cannot exceed 35/25/15% of your Max HP.
(damage over time works normally unless each tick surpasses the threshold)

Everflowing Chalice

Damage over time effects on enemies last twice as long./
Damage over time effects on enemies do not expire./
Damage over time effects on enemies do not expire and cannot be removed.

Crimson Crown

Over time effects you receive or cause happen 2x as fast.
Over time effects you receive or cause happen 4x as fast.
Over time effects you receive or cause happen instantly.

Sacrificial Pact

You and adjacent heroes cannot be healed.
When an enemy dies, you and adjacent heroes gain a shield equal to 15/25/35% of it's Max HP.

Unstable Orb

(rework suggestion)
Attackers give adjacent heroes 1/2/4 MP.
Upon being knocked out, deal 150/300/450 piercing damage to all enemies.

Clap Backers

When an effect is negated by immunity, increase your Speed by 4/8/12 times its duration.

Temple Swing

+20/40/60 Speed to all heroes - 20/40/60 Speed to all enemies
Every 2 seconds, all heroes lose 5/10/15% Speed and enemies gain the same amount.

Fast Flame

Gain +100% more MP per second.
Increase the cost of your Active Ability by 35/25/15 each time it is used.

[JakeandCake]

A item that gives casters multi cast! Could you imagine how cool it would be if you had a item that let your ability cast twice?

I’m sure it would be overpowered as crap, so it would need some serious drawbacks.
