Do you want me to hide your sword in my bag, Natsumi-chan?
Are you asking to be my helper, senpai?
I suddenly have a pang of regret.

reasons why kazuki attempts to be the cool aloof guy, except g

*exhibit g

Kazuki really should've seen that one coming

HE REALLY SHOULD HAVE

i'm not sorry that they're having an argument about swords

bunch of dumb sword dorks

takeshi shouting NERRRRRDS from the front of the lineup

SORRY FOR KAZUKI BEING A SHIT deerleisure

dear brain: STOP BEING NEVER SATISFIED WITH KAZUKI'S TECHS

(i will be likely reworking hama lance on levelup but BRAIIIIN STOP)

(YOU DO THIS ALL THE TIME)

I guess I could consider that kind of IC though.

Kazuki's not satisfied with how he fights.

:>

I guess it's a sign that i'm still learning the system.

`This is rapidly becoming the worst day of Kazuki's life.
Well, second-worst.`

Sorry not sorry, Kazuki.

GOD

I -am- proud of Brilliant Fungoes as a move now, though.

It's situational, but it works well for what it has to do.

...I might actually switch out Sage Guard for like

a health cost Physical Attacker boost core

so that I can justify Kazuki using his physical techs more often.

MIXED DAMAAGE NICHES ARE HARD

I'm actually goonna probably ramble about my plans to ONCE AGAIN revamp kazuki's skills when he gets his level 5

(sorry, ProfessorProf . I LOVE YOUR SYSTEM I JUST HAVEN'T GOT A HANDLE ON IT YET)

I might look at Pathfinder's Magus to draw more ideas from that for how I want Kazuki to work.

I actually don't want to give him an AoE

because that's actually one of my weird hidden rules for Kazuki

either directed ranged attacks, or line attacks

yeah part of it is you went for a really complex build

so it'll take some getting used to

i have no regrets

I LOVE KAZUKI i just have to figure out the right mixture of attacks

stuff will probably open up when we get access to S2 mods

It's very appropriate though, Kazuki is getting a handle on something that's almost more complex than he knows how to handle.

yeah S2 is soon and that's when some of the Fun Shit becomes available

yeah

obviously I'm going to give Kazuki the two best Mind related combat skills as they become available

which I think is... S2 it's the once-per-battle defense boost to an ally?

yep

once per battle per enemy

oh shit that's really strong. LIKE I KNEW IT WAS BUT

i forgot it was also per enemy

it's the payoff for Mind not getting much in the way of fun mod perks

you get Battle Analysis and Exploit Weakness

yeah

which are definitely INSTANT pickups for kazuki once i can get them

b/c that's already what his niche is

he's the Chief/Strategist/etc

regretting SOME of my impulse skill purchases now but not all of them.

Emiko gettin' summa those too

Mostly Jump, since we haven't seen many fliers

Emiko and Kazuki: Battle Nerd Squad

Probably gonna remove the Init Limit from Flash Draw. I'm still waffling on whether I want to give it Damage Shift.

But the Init Limit is a bit cumbersome for this.

I'm definitely learning the system, at least!

I should definitely give Kazuki a straightforward attack, I keep trying to apply like

moba design philosophy to this nerd

and give him Special Techniques

when he really needs basic attacks

well

next leve you get your first ult

level

yeah

THAT'LL HELP

I need to figure out what Kazuki's ult will be like conceptually

but

having an Ultimate Ability will help a lot.

Right now he has a lot of field-clearing skills but not a lot of single target damage, so I need to fine-tune that.

I might make his ultimate what I wanted Flash Draw to be in the first place

aka the like

iaido SINGLE SLASH attack
