The main point of this character is to be the opposite of typical characters and a bit of a chaotic mess to play
Their gun scales off spirit and interacts with spirit items
Their abilities scale off gun and scale off them
The goal is really weird builds that use items in ways that only would work on them
1: Teardrop of static (Chargable). Lob a drop of static that explodes after half a second on the ground. Explodes instantly if you are in its radius.
1a: Upgrades try to cater towards the upclose burst and inherient gun synergy that makes do their inverted scaling or a more geist like mortar style. Both would be buffed through the upgrades but its up to the player to decide which one they wanna take advantage of.
Ex: Bounces once if its radius wouldn't include an enemy, Give shield to self when inside detonation, Launch self if alone in explosion.
2: Pragmatic Corruption: Swap your current gun for another characters one chosen at random. Gain increased fire rate for the first clip (45 second cooldown)
2a: upgrades would add more bonus's to swapping/extra clips. Max tier would turn this into a passive and force swap every 10 seconds, retaining the swap buffs
3: Chaos engine (Passive). Your gun damage and spirit damage are swapped.
Gun reload speed -> ability recharge
Ability cooldown -> gun reload speed
Ability charges -> Melee damage
3a: Upgrade would allow more effects to work.
Ability range -> gun fall off distance,
Duration -> bullet size.
Melee damage -> Ability range.
Bullet velocity -> Ability cooldown
4. Cracked reality. Randomize ALL of your items for 20 seconds, upgrading them a tier if possible. Revert to og build once over.
3a. Upgrades would be basic cooldown and length increase but max upgrade would allow street brawl exclusive items to replace tier 4 items
Lore/Looks
Lumping these in because I don't have too much of a identity
I imagine they're pretty meta messed up looking. Checkerboard pattern for a skin and some low detail parts but deadlock really doesn't do that in its visual style nor lore so they could probably just be a "Magic gone wrong" type character. Someone poked their head into a portal and got sucked in, thrown back out of it all backwards and incompatible with the world yet somehow living or somethin similar
Notes.
I'm well aware some of the stat swaps are questionable at best but its hard to really match them past the initial ones PLUS I think giving niche stats more broader effects would encourage some REALLY weird looking builds and above all I want this character to create some nonsense looking builds and really just be a toy for people to mess around with
Cracked reality might just be too much rng for an ult but I think its fun and fitting chaos
Pragmatic corruption Might be kinda boring but I really think if any characters gonna get "multiple" guns it should be someone like this who really plays with them
Static tear is very much just a "This character needs a generic spirit damage button to press so their stat swaps actually can do something". I would prefer something more interesting but honestly just the weird effects I listed it gaining on upgrades I feel would be good enough
Extra charge items would not be affected just so static tear can actually do something.
Actives are... I don't wanna think about them
