Yet another idea for a fighting style that came up to my mind. Made mostly for fun : D

Phase Fist

Phase Fist - “A lost fighting style that allows to use trace magic energy to briefly relocate the user into a transcendent dimension.”

Phase Fist is a lost fighting style. Like Vanishing Style and Powder Fist - it uses trace magic energy, however, unlike those two - uses it to relocate the spirit and the body of the user to an unknown dimension for a brief amount of time. This allows the brawler to effectively become invulnerable to attacks and empower the user in speed - however, while in transcendent dimension, unable to attack others either and the dimension will significantly impede the user’s vision.

As seen on the image, the overall color scheme of this fighting style - is Blue Violet, or sometimes purple.

Stats:

Damage: 0.85x (0.0x with Phase Shift)

Speed: 1.15x (1.45x with Phase Shift)

Size: 0.9x

Imbue stats:

Damage: 0.9x (0.0x with Phase Shift)

Speed: 1.1x (1.4x with Phase Shift)

Size: 0.95x

Mechanics:

Phase Fist users will have two different forms - those being the normal one and the Phase Shift.
Normal mode doesn’t differ much - however, the user, when equipping Phase Fist will always have a special button and a meter present - the button can be clicked (Can be clicked with a hot key) which will result in a phase shift. User will be inflicted with “Phase Shift” status effect exclusive to this fighting style. In Phase Shift, user loses his ability to be damaged - but he can’t damage anyone either, but still able to use the techniques. Phase Shift also impedes the user’s vision, and turns him effectively invisible to other players and NPCs, only allowing to see the user’s faint projection of purple colors.
However, when having such mode, user obtains a major buff to his speed on the fighting style.
To mention, a phase-shifted player can damage another player who is also in a phase shift, dealing the same amount of damage as if he was in normal dimension.

There’s also a meter, which will fill up over time, but very slowly. When in Phase Shift, the mentioned meter will progressively empty itself - without it, phase shift will automatically turn off. When going into another dimension, the meter automatically loses 10% of it’s charge.

Clicking the button again will remove the phase shift and return the user to his normal form,

is it supposed to be like

phase shift
use move
un phase-shift to surprise?

i dont get what the style is trying to accomplish

i guess it’s like phase in titanfall 2

rain world the watcher dlc

b-but this is just vanishing with iframes and without critics

Its rather a versatile fighting style - basically the shadow magic turned into a FS

It can allow you to both chase/surprise attack and evade most incoming attacks. I was planning to give more drawback for using phase shift but forgot because I was out of time

Pretty cool, although I do feel like there should be a way to get someone out of phase shift, like hitting them with a non-aoe attack somehow
Idk otherwise it’s pretty cool
I also like how if 2 people are both using phase shift then they can still fight each other

i think it’d be a cool ambush style tbh

go into phase shift for a short duration and you shift out whenever you attack (but people can see distortions of where you are so its effectiveness in-combat is a bit dwindled like you already explained)

btw who is going to teach you how to go through dimensions with your fists, a generic pirate?

Cool as a concept but I kind of question why this would ever need to exist. The only advantages it would ever afford are some easy time to heal up or run away, both of which would be absolutely hellish to deal with in PVP so I don’t know. It sounds cool but there would need to be some hefty limitations to prevent that like disabling all forms of healing while phased and creating a field where if you leave it you’re automatically shifted back. Also phase shifting would need a decent cooldown like 10 seconds or so to prevent people from just going in and out to reposition the boundaries of the ability and continue running. Its stats are also just terrible so like, yeah I just don’t see a good reason for this to exist even if it sounds cool. Generally any ability that stops the game as a whole is a recipe for boredom in PVE and frustration in PVP.

Yeah.

ae.

lost fighting styles are taught through a scroll that you can find in the dark seas (mentioned in the trello)

trello isnt always accurate, lost magics were planned to be the same before vetex decided to make it hecate shards so it’s just a matter of time
