The Windcaller.

Description
Introduction
_________________________

The Windcaller is a mod character I've been working on for roughly 6-7 months, and am proud to finally release.

The Windcaller is a Buff/Debuff focused Support Hero, built around Pushing and Pulling both friend and foe alike. With strong gusts of wind she can disrupt enemy positioning, weakening them in the process and leaving them vulnerable. Should your opponents do the same, she can simply Slingshot your heroes to the frontline, or Whisk them away To Safety in the backline. If your team can handle it, she can also grant a huge buff to Dodge, Speed, and Crit chance, at the cost of Shuffling your entire party in a Wild Whirlwind.

She works well in stationary teams with fixed positioning, able to easily reposition heroes back in their proper locations should they be shuffled or moved. But she also works wonders in teams built around dancing and moving around, taking advantage of strong buffs and offering a unique party-wide shuffle to buff up your heroes. Whether it's keeping a Leper firmly planted in the frontline with Storming Slingshot, or shuffling your Grave Robber around to spam Lunge, she's got plenty to offer to any team while avoiding overstepping onto the roles of vanilla characters.

If you want to know her exact stats for moves, upgrades, trinkets, etc, then simply check out this. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c1yxF3iZo_p3DjumfPE7on5TEnzUCcXGpoyJrl3y7bg/edit?usp=sharing Lists everything that's needed to know for specific stats.

Special Thanks
_________________________

I just wanna thank a few people that helped with this mod.
The Moonlit Dungeon Discord, which helped out with more than a few questions and issues that popped up. Notably TPLuna, Raxlos, and Baybot from that Discord, and anyone else who helped out with my occasional random question.
Additionally, I wanna thank all the people on reddit who offered help and advice when it came to balancing. People like PhilosophicalHobbit, ThisGuyIsntToast, Gerael, and everyone else who commented.
I'd also like to thank anyone willing to give this mod a shot and try playing with it. I know it's not the best looking mod around, but I do hope at least a few people wind up enjoying it, and I'm still gonna do my best to polish it up some more. I'm still trying to practice when it comes to artwork, and hopefully with a few updates every now and again it should wind up looking pretty decent by the end of things.

Does it have district?

The class is not atrocious, but not amazing neither. I used her a couple of times and i found her ultra boring, yes she can fix your party positions, yes, she can scale a little with her windstrike, but i still feel like she is missing something. Pull | Push on the enemies feel terrible , push doesnt even do damage, only debuffs. IDK, 5\10 from design, 3\10 from aesthetic perspective

Huh? Vaati's from a Zelda game?

*one web-search later*

Oh... oooohhh that guy from Four Swords. Now i remember him. Heh, it's been a while...

Hmmm... coat, headdress, long hair covering one eye... yes, a striking resemblance to a certain YouTubers profile picture. I think you're correct; hitting the nail right on the head. Looks like the name was not the only thing YT-Vaati borrowed from, um, Zelda-Vaati... Real-Vaati? ...OC-Vaati?

@Jenkins Ty! Lmfao. She's actually named after Vaati from Legend of Zelda, so I wonder if the lore youtuber Vaati named himself after that too.
Jenkins Nov 6, 2020 @ 3:37am 
Pretty neato!

But with a name like Vaati I expect her to tell me all about the...

Perhaps multiple hats for each color pattern?

@SuRfAcE oF mArS I've gotten comments on the hat before, so if I do try and redo her appearance I might drop the hat in favor of different headwear, or possibly go without headwear for her design.

Hey I'm back! Just a little more critizism/advice. The way the class works is not the problem it's great but with how it looks I last time said the shading is rather bad but I also wanna point out how the hat looks. Not too modern but just looks rather silly. Love the outfit but not the hat too much. But hey that's just my opinion.
