Thread 'Ability specific items. 4 for each hero. Only visible to them.'

Jan 23, 2025

I think there should be 4 items for each character that are only visible for them. These items would each be for a specific ability of theirs. Using Abram's and Bebop's abilities as examples you could have items like

Abrams

Siphoning Aura
costs 500
Spirit
Ability range +8%
Makes Siphon Life have 360 degrees of range.

Nimble Giant
Costs 1250
Vitality
Bonus Health +100
Allows you to jump and use stamina when charging to double jump. Turn rate slightly increased.

Infernal Aggression
Costs 1250
Weapon
Firerate +5%
Weapon damage...

But I have decided that rather than each person having 4 items it would be most reasonable for each person to have 5. The fifth item of course would be for an alternate fire (or in the case that they already have an alternate fire it upgrades that alternate fire). Here are some examples.

Abrams

Cluster
Weapon
Costs 500
Weapon damage +5%
Hold Mouse 2. Your pellets stay in a ball and shoot forward at 100m/s until you let go of mouse 2. When you let go they explode into your pellets. The ball deals half the total damage of your bullets if it hits instead of exploding on someone. Takes 2 ammo.

Viscous

Globule
Spirit
Costs 1250
Spirit +6
Spirit Shield +90
Ammo +10%
Altfire now scales with either weapon damage or spirit whichever would make it stronger. Scales 1.2% per spirit. Delay after firing halved.

Mirage

Beetle Bullets
Vitality
Costs 500
Bullet lifesteal +10%
Uses 2 ammo. Shoots a beetle that flies straight until it sees an enemy within 3 meters then homes in on that enemy. Bullet velocity 200.

Shiv

Blunderbuss
Weapon
Costs 1250
Weapon damage +15%
Altfire ammo consumption increased to 3. Damage and knockback +50%.

Is there a way to calculate this? How fast do you have to go to do infinite slide as it is? I know it's unreasonably fast.

I think it's something like 13-15m/s to be able to start sliding on a flat surface while running. It would need be substantially faster than that to be able to reach any inclined surface to continue the slide after.

its actually do-able in game currently, just buy every fire rate item you can see and fleetfoot + burst fire for the increased slide and you can accellerate by shooting backwards infinitely
