SCP-058 "Heart of Darkness"

[SagitAStar]

"SCP-058 resembles a bovine heart, with four (4) arthropod-like legs used primarily for movement, and four (4) tentacles of adjustable length, covered with razor sharp spines. It has a single sharp 'stinger' on its rear, where the hole for the superior vena cava would be in a typical organ. SCP-058's tentacles can be "whipped" to a distance of 3.2 m (10.5 ft) at speeds in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph). SCP-058 is extremely hostile and will use every opportunity afforded to it to inflict damage on its surroundings. SCP-058 has been shown to be highly resilient to trauma, and should be approached with caution even when apparently incapacitated" (Copied from the article).

This SCP is honestly one of my favorites on the wikidot, but anyway, this SCP would be a great addition, so here are some stats I've cooked up. Feel free to ♥♥♥♥ on my opinion:

- Health: 2700
- Hume 400 (Note: I want him to be a tank SCP. His health is effectively putting him 2nd to 173)
- Speed: 4.4 m/s (049's Speed)
- Tentacle swipe: 35 Damage, 0.7s Attack Speed. Has a range of 2 meters (Shorter then the article, but balanced)

Abilities:

Dash: A 3.0 Burst of speed, totaling 20 m/s, with a 70 second cool down. The dash does 80 damage to whoever is in the way, with 30 splash damage to all those near the dash (Haven't thought of the area of the splash damage)
Stinger: Does 10 Damage, but will inject poison, killing the player in a matter of time. Has a cool down of 50s.

Enjoy

I personally love 058, he's one of my favorite SCPs and one I would love to see in game.

Imo I think it could be made a little bit more unique, but you're deffo on the right track to creating a good SCP proposal. The artical states that he can move on both horizontal and vertical surfaces, maybe you could do something with that?

+1 though, I love my bovine heart boi

This sounds like an excellent replacement for 096. Despite 173's high health, it is absolutely NOT a tank and SCPs as a result are typically forced to play a lose-lose game, since they have no way of ending the game themselves (this problem will be mostly solved once 079 can detonate the warhead).

Personally, if you're aiming for them to be a tank their stats are far too restrained. 2700 HP and 400 Hume is only slightly above 106, who's survivability is almost exclusively tied to his ability to regenerate Hume on-demand and invulnerability. Especially with a mere 4.4 m/s and (presumably) a large hitbox, it would be very difficult to stay alive with your only mobility option being on the longest cooldown in the game aside from 079's Zonewide Blackout.

My suggestions:
- 2500 HP, 400 Hume, scaling up to 800 at 20% HP
- Has passive damage resistance similar to 049 and 173 - 058 takes 15% less damage from firearms and 60% less damage from explosions, such as grenades.
- By default, it moves at 4.4 m/s, but moving forward causes it to accelerate over 2 seconds, increasing to 5.0 m/s until it stops moving forward.
- The tentacle swipe deals 40 damage in a wide arc and applies the Concussed status effect, disorienting targets. This would make 058 ideal for taking on large groups of military classes and create openings for its teammates to charge in.
- Two abilities - Tentacle Whip and Stinger.
- Tentacle Whip causes 058 to lash out a tentacle in a straight line, up to 20 meters in length or until it hits a wall. If it hits a wall, 058 will be pulled towards it and retain the momentum, allowing it to climb vertically (such as the area around the Warhead room on the Surface, or PT00 in Light Containment). This ability should be on a 30-40 second cooldown.
- Stinger is a toggle-able ability with only a short 5 second cooldown. When active, 058's primary attack is replaced with their stinger, becoming single target and having a shorter range, but applying a poison effect that will kill them in 5 seconds if they do not use any healing item.

i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love 058, this suggestion lacks a lot of features but by god any 058 fan is a man with good ideas in mind (unless you’re a dev from fragmented minds)

I like playing 079 as much as anyone who doesn't like putting work into learning how to splatter people across floors, but giving 079 that level of power would be stupid. 079 is already strong enough, able to search entire sectors within seconds, only using cameras, and yet it still has an ability that loudly announces where any humans are. Et cetera, et cetera.

The SCPs are powerful enough as is, and that includes humans on SCP items, since that's the only way to survive as a human in SL, is to become an SCP yourself, making it way less fun for anyone who wasn't lucky enough to get coca cola

Tough ♥♥♥♥? It's confirmed to be coming in a future update.

Just because it will doesn't mean it should. This "tough ♥♥♥♥" philosophy accomplishes nothing and is actively killing the idea of a solution. I highly suggest you keep further insights like this to yourself.

Just because something will doesn't mean it has to.

How about you quit riding my meat, you've been replying to me on every damn post. SCPs are far from broken - they physically cannot deal with large groups of MTF and have to wait, on the MTF's own volition, for them to split up. If the entire wave just decided to move as a collective unit, go from gen to gen and hold it down, there would be nothing 079 or any of the other SCPs could do about it.

How about you quit saying stupid stuff, Samswine?

You're biased and 99.99% of your balance changes ever posed reflect that "muh muh buff 049-2 for no reason". SCPs can win any fight if they just stick together, it's not that hard. Just because you don't know what to do doesn't mean there's nothing to do. But your favorite character to play as is the most broken one, so everything is just going in one ear and out the other.

SCPs are way too easy to win with and lack engaging gameplay because of that. There's no struggle, no thought, no risk, and no reward.

Great job at not saying anything related to my comment though!
