[Hero Concept] Prospector

[Chad]

Extremely Rough Sketch of the general design. Gnome character

Extra notes on appearance: Potentially in-built mining light in hat, bandana/cloth around neck, potentially gloves. Bag/sack on back. Has a inbuilt minecart as part of his uniform, he will burrow himself into it (pulling his legs up so the wheels on the cart begin rolling on the ground) pushing his head down into it when sliding.


Primary Attack: Pickaxe Throw

(Throws pickaxes, reload animation would be him retrieving more from his bag/sack)

Innate Passive: Ores will spawn in the underground network of tunnels. Prospector can mine these with his primary attack / melee granting him a small soul bonus. Gold Deposits will give his ultimate slightly more duration when mined. Other ores could influence the other abilities too.

1. Fire In The Hole - Channel ability. Constantly lob explosives at a target location (different varying explosives and respective varying damage - for example, dynamite stick, bundle of dynamite and big bomb with a fuse. These may be determined by RNG, but levelling it should help get the better bombs)

This is similar to Mcginnis Ultimate but a lot smaller AOE, less duration, periodically damages (whenever a bomb is thrown at the location) and can damage enemies who are somewhat close to you (unlike Mcginnis)

2. Minecart

Passive: Sliding with this character makes him hide within his minecart uniform - this makes Prospector take reduced damage and offers other immunities/reduced CC.

Active: Press 2 while sliding, to give some propulsion forward - if you strike an enemy during this period of speed - the enemy will be stunned.

3. Balloon Escape - Summon a number of balloons that lower your gravity (More balloons at max level)

These balloons can be shot. (Would be like Graves skulls almost) Each balloon would offer a lower gravity, shooting them all will remove the lower gravity benefit)

4. Splash of Paint. Prospector pours Australium Gold completely over his body (Becomes fully golden [metal skin essentially, but golden]) - Full Immunity to everything. Walk into enemies while covered in Gold to temporarily turn them into a Gold statue - essentially cursing + rooting them for a second or 2.

Extra note: Most abilities can be used together and in conjunction except for the Ultimate. (e.g. While Sliding, you press 1 to initiate Fire In The Hole in order throw explosives, then since your still sliding, press 2 to propel forward stunning an enemy and continue to bombard them more since Fire In The Hole in still active.

Thanks for reading!

I was thinking silver ores give you more duration to all your abilities and items (maybe 50% for items), whilst copper ore gives more range to all your abilities and items (50% for items).

I love this character. I really love the minecraft and physics infusion of this. I suppose his gun can be special in the sense it has increased headshot damage, and increased crit damage. The pickaxes should arc, similar to Hammer Bros. If the flying pickaxe isn't stopped by a collison, then hitting a surface will try to hammer bros bounce (twice only) (similar to celeste, but arcs up and falls down tracking towards an opponent, preferably their head). This makes armour piercing rounds very useful on him (as one bullet can hit the same target 3 times. Split shot too. Ammo items would be nice on him. He could have 6 shots in one clip.
