Lord's Blade

CoM Compatible! Synergy with Abysswalker! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1225113804


Lord's Blade is based upon Lord's Blade Ciaran from Dark Souls. She is an assassin class with lots of set-up burst, attacking with unique blades which bleed or blight enemies. Outside of burst damage, she excels at debuffing enemies while applying bleeds and blights. Her trinkets grant further utility, allowing her to specialize from mission-to-mission.

She works well with people who cast bleed or blight abilities. This allows her to activate her full damage sooner. She can also mark or debuff an enemy, guiding ally attacks.

Because of their relationship, Abysswalker and Lord's Blade have a few (strong) bonuses for each other at the campfire and in combat. More synergy will develop between these mods in the future.


AceroSteel drew the character art, and frankly he rocked it. Praise him as you would the Sun!


Mutilate:

- O O O v X X - -

Lord's Blade moves forward 1, attacking the enemy with both enchanted blades. It gains immense damage if an enemy is blighted and/or bled. If bled, great additional damage and accuracy %. If blighted, great additional damage and crit%.

Backstab:

O O - - v X X X -

Lord's Blade moves forward 2, backstabbing the enemy. Extra damage on marked targets and armor pen on blighted targets.

Golden Strike:

O O O O v X X X X

Lord's Blade hurls a Golden Tracer at an enemy. Upon successful hit, it bleeds the enemy, marking the enemy for 6 turns, and lowering its defense. Bleed lasts for longer durations with each level. Reduces bleed resistance.

Fast Roll:

- - O O

Lord's Blade dodges backwards 2 spaces, gaining 1 turn of stealth and a few turns of +Dodge.

Thrown Tracer:

O O - - v - X X X

Lord's Blade throws her Golden Tracer at an enemy, and gains a large damage bonus upon marked targets. Also gains armor pen on blighted targets.

Silver Strike:

- - O O v X X X X

Lord's Blade throws a Silver Tracer at an enemy. Upon successful hit, it applies crippling poison which blights and reduces enemy speed. Blight lasts for longer durations with each level. Reduces blight resistance.

Estus Brew:

O O O O

Lord's Blade heals herself, cures herself, and gains another turn. Free action. 1 time per combat. You can use this for easy set-up, or to unload 2 straight turns of set-up damage. Be warned: it severely reduces her defensive abilities, and marks her.

Slayer1557 made a great introduction & review of Lord's Blade! Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FikjwPEcw9c

I shot for ~3 different build types here. Mutilate focus, backstab focus, and ranged dagger focus. I'm sure people will mix and match abilities while adding other classes to the party, but I'm quite happy with the class' own potential to set itself up.


I like feedback. Please keep it to the forums, though-- comments for my mod are intended to be short messages, or urgent ones about bugs.
