Been thinking about some Wilypocalypse stuff.
I mentioned in an OOC post in the thread itself about a small side-thing where Josei will find/obtain upgrades for Labryine. Basically I thought about it a bit at work today (Because it was super slow) and I thought of fleshing out some of the ideas I had.
Basically, there's going to be like, five upgrades in the form of crystals or something. They're not something that will stack on top of eachother, but rather they swap out, each one changes the attributes/color of the sword (I'm basically thinking of something from that Dreamcast/Gamecube RPG Skies of Arcadia where you had multiple colored crystals for your weapons and could change them to suit the battle.) I haven't decided on all the attributes yet, but I know Fire, Water, and Electricity are going to be among the five.
Anyway, each will have a passive and active skill attributed to them, along with a major disadvantage and a major advantage.
The ones I have thought up now are listed below:
Fire
Passive skill: Sword turns red, fire element, hot to the touch, melts things.
Active Skill: Ability to shoot fire, fireballs basically. An all around good attack that's decently fast and decently powerful.
Major advantage: Melts metal, making robots easier to kill.
Major Disadvantage: Water will douse it and disable the power until it is recharged.
Electricity
Passive Skill: Sword turns green, electricity element, sparks and stuff. Basically damaging to electronics everywhere.
Active Skill: Lightning bolts. A strong attack that hits hard but takes a small bit of time to recharge.
Major advantage: Shorts out circuitboards and is naturally deadly to basically anything.
Major disadvantage: Lightning bolts take time to recharge, completely ineffective against ground element or things that are insulated or have rubber.
Water
Passive Skill: Sword turns blue and slashes send out a high-velocity strike of water.
Active Skill: Water Balloon, a fast yet weak attack that sends volleys of water at opponents.
Major advantage: wipes away dirt and douses fire.
Major Disadvantage: Weak, getting hit with lightning will electrocute both the sword and the user, so high caution is recommended.
