Backstory
------------------------------------------


"A mysterious and regal looking woman in humble clothing has arrived at the Hamlet. She claims that during a ritual, her Loa brought her a vision of a human face being enveloped in a mutilating annihilation. They have guided her here to heal this festering sore, she proclaims. And she’s not alone either. She has a pitch-black rooster in tow, which she believes to be the vessel of her late husband's soul. She may have come from low stature due to discrimination, but through the faith of her gods and cunning wit, she commands the respect of a queen." - The Ancestor

Role & Abilities
------------------------------------------


The Mambo is a Stress-Relieving, Enemy De-buffing Support Hero. Mambo is the proper term for a voodoo priestess

What she lacks in damage she makes up for in group-viability and longevity.

Papa Ghede’s Blessing - Use: OOOX I Target: XXXX


Let the power of the Loa heal your mind...

A simple group stress heal, excluding the Mambo herself.

You Dare?! - Use: XOOO I Target: XOOO


How dare you attack the Great Mam’zelle!

Verbal ranged attack that MARKS enemy w/ debuff to target’s DMG & Stun Resist while buffing Mambo's own DMG.

Baron Samedi’s Tobacco - Use: XOOO I Target: OOOX


Baron Samedi's vices must be indulged...

Ranged blight attack w/ DODGE debuff.

Papa Legba’s Shadow - Use: XOOX I Target: XXXX


Papa Legba will protect you from the Crossroads!

A guard ability where the entire group is guarded by her and by a Papa Legba sprite for 1 round and has a six round cooldown. The more stressed she has the more PROT she has upon activation of the ability. She does, however, gain an uncurable Horror 2 rounds after the guard duration is over.
(UPDATE) Papa Lebga's riposte now lands a -SPD debuff that lasts the rest of the battle

Husband’s Embrace - Use: OOOX I Target: XXXX


Mon cher, Christophe…

Maire hugs her husband rooster, Christophe Glapion for a self-heal and stress-heal

Baron Kriminel’s Whip - Use: OOOX I Target: OOOO


Baron Kriminel knows what lies in your hearts!

Marie’s shadow whips a single target enemy. +15% DMG vs Eldritch.

A Little Pinprick - Use: OOOX I Target: XXXX


You must give to get, it’s the law of things.

Marie stabs herself with a dagger which removes a small portion of health and a possibility of Bleed DoT, but gives a single group member substantial stress relief and minor stress buff. Mambo also receives a healing buff for 2 rounds. Mambo herself cannot be a selected recipient of the single stress heal.

What a gorgeously rendered class, love having her and Henry along in my runs. Can I ask what her 'canon' name is? My Mambo is currently called Stafford and that doesn't feel quite right.

Would be awesome that her own quirks were not general quirks as it dilutes the other classes experience
TheFirebender Aug 7, 2024 @ 6:19pm 
Is it even worth to upgrade Little Pinprick? I mean,whats the point of receiving an additional (noticable) bleed damage for literally additional 5 healed stress if on lvl 1 you have almost the same value and only 1/2 bleed instead of 3/3(!). It just ridiculous,is it not?

I think its best to ship quirks of this kind in a separate mod.
In modded playthroughs there's often many many new characters. As such, value from "synergy" quirks like these diminishes and harm from having them generate instead of a good generalist quirk increases.

This hero is not showing up in my stage coach

Lucky Feather is too OP. Needs to be a time cost 3. For comparison, look at Vestal's Bless.

She's too detailed-looking, compared to vanilla classes or even the Steel Driver.
