Shulk (Xenoblade Chronicles)

Shulk took a wrong portal and ended up in DST! Thankfully, he's not a stranger to worldhopping, and comes prepared with unique abilities, configurable stats, custom voice (a violin), and 3000+ lines of dialogue.


Health: 100 | Hunger: 150 | Sanity: 175

Shulk is an engineer specializing in Weapon Development. He enters the Constant with crafting knowledge for all weapons that would normally require a science or alchemy engine.

While Shulk's good at making weapons, he isn't the strongest fighter himself. He has very low max health and his attacks are 20% weaker than most other characters.

As heir to the Monado, Shulk can see visions of the future when he is attacked. The chance of a vision occurring scales off of his health, starting at 5% at max health and 30% at no health. When a vision occurs, Shulk's eyes glow blue and he will automatically dodge all incoming attacks for 10 seconds.

Shulk has no sense of taste so food doesn't do much for him. He'll gain the regular hunger value, but only 50% sanity and health values. He also hates vegetables and will gain 0 hunger or health when eating them. However, since vegetables remind him of his friends back home, he will instead gain the regular sanity value.

Unlike most characters, Shulk differentiates between fruit and vegetables. This allows him to gain health and hunger from things like berries. If it counts as a fruit in the crock pot[dontstarve.fandom.com] or isn't an obvious vegetable (like waffles and trail mix), Shulk will be able to eat it.

Shulk spawns in with one item: the Monado.


-Unbreakable
-Deals 40 damage (when taking Shulk's damage weakness into account)
-Small sanity drain
-Slightly longer range than spear

The Monado is very choosy about its wielder. Shulk is the only character who can use it without harm; all other characters will lose 10 health and immediately drop it.

The Monado has a "talent gauge" (aka durability) that increases by 2% every time the Monado attacks an enemy mob or 1% when attacking a prey animal. When the gauge is at 100%, Shulk can right click it while equipped to Activate the Monado, expelling the talent gauge and granting a unique buff depending on which Monado Art was chosen.
If you've played Smash, you're already somewhat familiar with how this works. Shulk has access to four Arts: Buster, Enchant, Shield, and Speed, and can cycle through each Art by pressing "Z."

Selecting a Monado Art doesn't do anything by itself. Shulk has to cycle to the desired Art and then Activate the Monado when its gauge is at 100%.
While it's technically possible to have multiple Arts active the same time, this can be rather difficult to accomplish by default. Using the same Art twice will not stack the buff, but will instead reset the Art's timer.

Activating the Monado will drain Shulk's hunger and sanity by 20.

If you encounter anything not working as expected, please report it so I can fix it! If the game crashes, please provide the client_log.txt or server_log.txt file as well.
I've been testing him myself for a while, but I'm only one person and I've likely missed a few things.
