So you know how some bosses use fighting styles that you can’t access, I’m proposing a name for those fighting styles and how to obtain them.
Apostle style - based on Carina
This fighting style would mix punches, kicks, and chops, and it should feature a meter that fills up as you deal damage to opponents, the meter would increase your attack and movement speed, by 25% and cause all attacks to get a 50% increase in size when the bar is full. The style would be taught by a royal retainer of Ravenna located in the Ravenna Castello and it would cost 300 galleons and require 150 strength.
Lion fist - based on Argos
This style would have a large AOE, high damage but low speed, and inflict the new broken state, which would reduce speed and provide all damage types a 10% boost. Its attacks would also have a red effect. The method would require 200 in strength and cost 300 galleons, and it would be taught by a former centurion of the Bronze Legion who served under Argos while she was a member of the Legion.
Flash Step - based on Calvus
The fighting style would use the players legs similar to iron leg, but would focus more on speed and mobility rather then power and destruction, the fighting style would have effects similar to light magic, instead of inflicting bleed it would inflict a status effect called bruised which lowers damage output by 10%. the style is taught by an ex retainer of the ravenna royal family, who would be located somewhere on mount caesar, the style would require 110 str and 300 galleons to learn
Carina seems legit but argos is just weapons and calvus is just magic, they dont main the style so why make it a whole new thing? Could also just be slapped right into suggestions as well
I can’t post in the suggestion category yet and Argos is a warlord so he would have a fighting style same for Calvus he’s a savant and we see him imbue his leg with his aether magic
I think it would be cool if we had a fighting style that wasn’t a legitmate fighting style, just something an idiot slapped together that somehow worked. Granted cannonball but still.
I feel like Calvus isn’t special enough to have his own Fighting Style, despite being a Savant. Like yeah he uses everything but it’s kinda clear to us that his Aether Magic was his strongest point unlike Argos and Carina
frigid fist - calm your thoughts and drain the body heat from your hands as well as imbue them subconsciously with a freezing aura that causes your attacks to be slower, but hard hitting, and causes your opponent to expel more energy for all of their skills.
“Junk Fu” - A fighting style that when hitting a foe, drops multiple shark objects on the ground which damage upon touching. Upon higher mastery, they give off poisonous clouds and poison and potentially blind.
Slight problem: if the Carina fighting style was in any way accurate to Carina herself, it would automatically be the worst fighting style in the game.
Aside from Iris and Shura—both of which are tutorial bosses—Carina is the easiest boss in the game. She would be a moderate challenge 40 levels before you fight her, but at level 100, the level you’re intended to fight her at, she’s an absolute cakewalk.
Is it weird that I’d like to see fighting styles have finishing moves? Like, Thermo Fist having a Wing Chun-esque chain punch and palm strike finisher, Basic Combat having kickboxing combo finisher, etc. Maybe Apostle Style could have a karate-style finisher.
