Entombed Elegy

MC Earth Spell/Skill. Removes and locks out pets and guests in exchange for Burning.

Flavor Effect 1: Pays 100% Melee in HP to deal +50% damage.

Flavor Effect 2: Disables pets and guests for the rest of the battle. If any pets/guests are equipped, automatically hides/dismisses them after the spell is cast. Attempts to inflict a [(25*10/2 + 25*10/2*CHA/ExpCHA])/0.5/4]% Melee Earth Burn (renamed Ash to Ash) for 4 turns. This has +0 Save Bonus, player Mainstat/LUK vs. monster DEX/LUK.
If pets/guests are already disabled, does not attempt this infliction.
MC: Save Bonus is improved to -20.

Just wanted to make something when I found the old Damnation spell - it's a shame that this effect is only found in two permarare items and a middling magic weapon ( Caden's Wrath)

I chose to dismiss pets/guests after spell cast because of companions like Poelala or Spotter Drake, both of which affects the spell while they’re present.

I added the expected CHA bit after checking out how the Warwolf armor handles that in its Combination Form. (Thanks again to @Chaotic for helping me with the math!)

Chroma Martino

MC Earth FO armor with Energy secondary. Inflicts self with debuffs that get progressively stronger in exchange for time-related effects.

Charge Mechanics - Borrowed Time: All skills generate Borrowed Time stacks. Stacks are detrimental, acting like a permanent Power: (0.025*[Stacks]) Harm Poison.
* Charges don't carry over between battles.
* Charges still do damage to the player if the armor isn't equipped.
* If stacks exceed a certain amount, inflicts an increasingly stronger debuff on the player. This check happens at the start of the player's turn. (All effects except 560 can be Lucky Broken/Unyielded.)
**1st Infliction - 100 Stacks: 1 turn Paralysis. Removes 1 Power from the Poison.
(Your excessive use puts too much strain on your body! You need to rest!)
**2nd Infliction - 250 Stacks: 1 turn Paralysis. Removes 1 Power from the Poison.
(You double over, unable to handle the stress!)
**3rd Infliction - 400 Stacks: 1 turn Paralysis, -23.81 BtH Blind for 3 turns. Removes 2 Power from the Poison.
(Is... is that...?)
**4th Infliction - 560 Stacks: Player dies.
(The moon was just out of reach.)

Flavor Effect - Destined for Greatness: +105 Initiative. If the player wins initiative, generates a Borrowed Time stack.
Toggle - Speedware Blitz: While toggled, applies Player + Misc Celerity on player attack. Generates 40 Borrowed Time stacks.
Skill - Pinnacle of Perception: Quickcast weapon-based overcharged skill. Follows weapon element. Usable only once per turn. Generates 100 Borrowed Time stacks.
Skill - Take a Load Off: Skips the player's turn. Removes 40 Borrowed Time stacks. This scales off of END.

Obviously inspired by Cyberpunk Edgerunners, I wanted to come up with something now that season 2's characters were revealed!

It was pretty infuriating how close this was to H-Series in terms of the top-down design, but it really does match with the concept of the Sandevistan, down to the cyberpunk-Energy element.
I tried to make this unique enough and avoiding that niche (aka explicitly not adding any elecomp and adding the stipulation that Borrowed Time still affects the player while not equipped)

I also wanted to explore what might happen with negative effects on Warwolf WHz-esque items, and I think this is a pretty solid look into that if I do say so myself.

Edit: added some numbers after talking with @Chaotic! - thank you as always! Check out their riff on Borrowed Time here!

The Sea's Favorite

MC Spellcaster Water Armor. Can spend a turn and MP to bank charges to spend on spells on a future turn.

Charge Mechanics - Witch's Knots: All skills either generate or require a Witch Knot to use.
* Can hold up to 3 Witch Knots at once.
* Witch Knots are retained between battles.
* Each Witch Knot is worth 100% Melee.

Skill - Prepare to Set Sail: Usable only if the player doesn't have any Witch Knots. Spends 125% Melee in MP and 100% Melee in HP to generate 3 Witch Knots.

Skill - Undo a Knot: Usable only if the player has at least one Witch Knot. Each sub-skill eats 1 Witch Knot instead of having the usual MP cost.
Chooses from one of the following effects:
* Squall: Standard Water spell. Gains elecomp to damage. Deals -(100/[Elecomp]/[WaterRes])% Melee to gain Player+Misc Celerity for 1 turn. (If damage penalty would exceed total damage, does not deal reduced damage and does not apply Celerity.)
* Vortex: Applies a +24 MRM DefBoost for 3 turns.
* Tempest: Pays an additional 50% Melee in HP. Overcharged Water spell. Gains elecomp to damage.

Something that came out of a discussion with @Chaotic! about ideas for an alternative to Fall Dryad would be in terms of an elecomp spell water SC would look like.
This was another top-down design based on the concept of sailors buying knotted handkerchiefs from witches, designed to summon varying strengths of wind on their voyage (at least, according to this article):

quote:

The sorcerer would sell a special handkerchief with which she had thrown three knots, to the captain in return for some money. According to this belief, when the ship had been in calm seas for an extended period of time, a light breeze began to blow when the first knot of the handkerchief was undone, and when it was the turn of the second knot, the wind blew a little harder. The untying of the third knot meant almost a cruel tempest, and it was probably needed when the ship tried to escape from the pirates.

Vessel of the Heart

MC FD Light with Fire secondary armor. Has skills that give up pet/guest attacks for additional effects.

Flavor Effect: Pays -6 MRM. Reduces guest cost by 10% Melee.

MC: Compresses two skills.
* Both are spell-based and use held weapon's mainstat.
* Attack and effect elements seek between player weapon, pet, guest, Fire and Light elements. Assumes Light for elecomp.
* Both skills use the player's, pet's and guest's turn. Uses 100 + [SP Cost] + (20 + 20*[CHA]/[ExpCHA]) + (30 + 30*[CHA]/[ExpCHA])% Melee.
* If pet/guest is inactive or doesn't attack (ie: booster pets), remove the corresponding part of the above equation.
** ACT: Super Support - Efficient cost. Deals no damage. Effect is split accordingly:
*** 50% is spent on a 4 turn choke infliction that scales on attack element. This has +0 Save Bonus, inflicts with CHA/LUK vs. monster CHA/LUK.
*** 25% is spent on a 4 turn HP regen that scales on attack element.
*** 25% is spent on a 4 turn SP regen that scales on attack element. Gains 1.125x power due to targeting SP.
** ACT: Big Buster - Standard cost. Pays 50% Melee in damage to attempt to inflict a 2 turn [Attack Element] Elevuln before attacking. This has +0 Save Bonus, inflicts with CHA/LUK vs. monster CHA/LUK.

Something something another pop culture reference yet again yes yes, I'm just enjoying Deltarune chapter 5 way too much

I just wanted to make something that once again riffs off of Damnation, but in a less permanent way, this time just giving up a single turn instead of fully dismissing them, kinda like Mega Pzycho Sabre's click skill.

Shrouded Aegis

MC Darkness Shield. Inflicts elecomp'ed statuses on attack.

* Effect: Pays -6 MRM and MC to attempt to inflict one of the following effects on attack:
** Darkness Burn for 2 turns. This gets elecomp to status power.
** Darkness Elevuln for 1 turn. This gets elecomp to status power.

Something funny (and probably a little heinous) I wanted to make.

Balancer of Scales

MC FD Water/Ice/Earth/Energy/Light armor. Heavy synergies with the Zfinity Guantlet miscs.

Resists are 52 across the Zfinity Gauntlet miscs, 100 in everything else.
Charge Mechanics - The Collection: The armor can generate and eat Collection stacks.
* Charges don't carry over between battles.
* One charge is valued at 50% Melee. At the end of the battle, if any charges are left over, heals SP equal to the amount leftover.

Flavor Effect: Pays MC and 6 MRM to heal 15% Melee in SP at the start of turn.

Full Set Bonus: Compresses two skills:

A Fine Addition
* Usable only if a Zfinity Gauntlet misc is equipped, and if A Fine Addition has not already been used for this specific gauntlet.
* Skips turn. If the equipped gauntlet's once-per-battle effect has a cost, costs that much in resources.
* Applies the once-per-battle effect of the gauntlet.
** This does not count towards the once-per-battle limit of the gauntlet.
* Generates 1 Collection stack.
The End
* Usable only if the player has at least 5 Collection stacks. ("At least" to futureproof!)
* Eats 5 Collection stacks; no resource cost otherwise. (Baseline 100+5*50=350% Melee)
* Spell-based skill. Follows weapon element.
* Pays enough damage to inflict a Fragile that would halve the max HP of the monster, accounting for monster level and power level. This has -20 Save Bonus, player VStat/VStat vs. monster END/LUK.

Is it too late for a Thanos reference? Honestly I was mildly surprised we didn't get one.

This was an exploration in two different FSB setups:
1. FSBs that care about multiple items in the same inventory slot, much like how Calyptra's Doom does with the Doom Lily weapons.
2. FSBs that unlock additional effects, like Ironhoof Executor getting Prime Devastator if the Ironhoof Overdrive Capacitor misc is equipped, or how Wingweaver Battlegear's Invigorating Winds' heal res modification can happen a second time as its FSB.

I figured that while Fragile is always going to be a bit of a problem, I viewed it as a flavor void effect, since the 52 baseline res means that you're taking at least double expected damage for 4 of the 5 turns that's required for it to go off (52 baseline, -26 shield, halved with gauntlet misc) and the fact that you have to give up 5 misc slots to make it work.

That being said, I can't really say I'm a fan of an armor that is basically non-functional without multiple seasonal token items. I tried to give it something outside of the FSB effect, but I struggled to come up with something that felt notable without making this too strong as a 5-way compression armor.

Duty-Bound Sunslayer

MC Light FD armor with Fire secondary. Has a permanent elelock toggle that ramps up damage over time.

MC: Pays -3 MRM. Weapons tagged as Bows deal +15% damage.

Flavor Effect: Pays -3 MRM. Compresses a toggle:
Sunfall: Applies the following:
* Locks attacks to Light. Elecomp increases damage dealt.
* Locks the player out of anything except attacking, equipping pets, or fleeing for the rest of the battle.
* On attack, deals -25% damage and pays 25% Melee in SP. Attempts to inflict a permanent Light DefLoss and Light EleVuln. These have +0 Save Bonus, player DEX/LUK vs. monster END/LUK.
** Inventory lock goes towards increasing status power.
** If SP cannot be paid, status power is reduced.
* Bonus effect: If the monster is a horde (or swarm like Piranhas), when one of the monsters is killed, increases the power of future inflictions of the DefLoss and EleVuln.

A riff off of a couple of things, namely thinking of a way to make Scathing Dreamweaver's Overwhelming Insight's elelock part more desirable.
I made it an archer armor because we could use more of those, but this definitely works for DEX builds in general thanks to adaptation working very well with this design (in my opinion).
