First of all Kit theme, to nail down exactly what I'm trying to do. Bleed + Sustain are the two keywords i'm working with. A unit who works with bleed synergies and is just a bitch to keep on the fucking ground
For her passive, I wanna play with stagger and sanity, to sell the whole "Resilient vampire descending into bloodmadness" vibe she'd have in limbus
So In combat passive, "When a unit would first stagger, lose X sanity and prevent the stagger". Once per combat, trade a little sanity to keep fighting. If unit is self, whenever she would stagger
Selfish, but Aurelia is selfish.
Her support passive probably heals sanity instead whenever a unit triggers bleed on an enemy. Which feels right
Everyone of her skills should involve bleed. And I'd like to attach a little more sustain here.
So Skill one, I can't hazard a guess what numbers would fit, but 2 coins. On first hit apply 2 bleed, on second hit apply bleed count 1 (2 at uptie 4)
A skill to start the bleed and keep it going
Skill 2, three coins, hit 1 apply 2 bleed, hit 2 heal 1/4 bleed, hit 3 heal 1/4 bleed (at uptie 4)
Self sustain, but she doesn't APPLY a lot of bleed herself, so she needs to be in a bleed team to be healing more than 1-2 hp off this.
Skill 3, three coins, hit 1 apply bleed 2, hit 2 heal (bleed count) sanity. If skill kills a bleeding enemy heal (bleed) sanity
All that together does feel a little too much, but I don't know enough limbus yet to hazard if that's imbalanced, overpowered, or just plain bad
But the general ideas, i think, feel right. Skills with sustain and bleed synergies, and a passive that lets her take hits at the cost of resources
And there's a world, if this is a working idea, where she heals above her stagger threshold and just keeps skipping stagger and stacking up bleed in a boss fight. A world where she just, will not die, feeding and feeding and going crazier and crazier
if any of the limbus folks on my tl wanna chew this to bits with superior game knowledge, i'm all ears.
Getting that out of my sytstem felt good though, time to work on tags
instead of tags, anime and Limbus Company wiki dive. that's alright. tags tonight
I have learned about blood feast
