Weapon and Stats
I wanted to keep the gun the same to simplify gun itemization, felt it was too much to keep changing weapons.

Abilities: Summons
There are four summons, each summon provide their own abilities and can change the tide of battle. Following and sticking next to the player. Can select which summon they want to use first when selecting Tamer on the selection screen (similar to Trainer in smash)
Master one or master them all.
Global Ability
3)Switch
Every 3 is switch.
| Anytime you Switch, you have a brief window to switch again for your "need in the moment" summon. Allowing you to continuously switch. Using any ability after switch will place Switch on cool down. Will be put on cool down if the brief window is not used. |
Ultimate and regular abilities have their own separate cool downs. Multiple Ultimates can only be used in succession every 30s. So you can have multiple up, but can only really use one at a time. Preventing 2-4 ultimate abilities from happening in 4s.
Ability point upgrades are shared across all summons.

Thoughts and finishes
This hero was originally simple in mind, became a huge mess and turned into this! 4 heroes, I could have knocked it down to 3 but it would have opened new complications from what I orginally intended. Gun would have changed depending on the summon and some were going to work like Palworld creatures that also shoot with you. But I wanted something else..
Insect Glaive's Kinsect from monster hunter, Nakoruru and Mamahaha from Samurai Showdown were the original inspiration, having control of a bird or a flying creature to fire like a missle and grab on to when stationary. The playstyle would revolve around shooting your creature around and allowing it to be a mantle or grapple. I didn't want it to be a solo character, which it can be and i should have stuck with that, but i added another creature.. and another..
I wanted something with beast master, but with brewmaster brewlings, a character with multiple creatures or options.
Houndeye was roughly put together but i took time to think about it. Tank could be something else, I originally was going for a "charizard" like that used the Kinsect like abilities (grab on, missle launch, dive bomb). Both could be easily replaced with something else in mind or be their own hero. I did have Snipe in mind for a Mirana Arrow hero, which i probably use for another hero.
Pixie is my favorite, she too was going to be a standalone hero but i couldnt figure out how to keep it only fairies without it just floating really small with her friends.. so i added her to Tamer. She can still be her own hero with a different 3.
In the end, all could be their own hero, I just wanted to challenge myself in trying to finish a hero that could switch between creatures. The names are not original but i hope it draws the picture on how this hero exist.
Thank you for reading, I hope it was interesting and fun to read. Stay creating!
Sometimes, I think we're all thinking alike!
