  1. The Hidden Blade

    A type of weapon that was manufactured by the Thorne Empire for the purpose of silently killing your enemies with a concealed blade that can be retracted. It also houses a compartment that’s used for storing different types of potions. Only one potion can be applied to it at the moment. It was secretly requested by the Assassin Syndicate. First Move: Quick Step

    • The user uses their agility to move quickly in any direction in a straight line. Its a normal dash, but if you come into contact with anything, you’ll stab it before leaping back. If you have a potion applied to it, like poison, the target will be poisoned for a while.

    Second Move: Air Assassination

    • When the skill is tapped, it will auto target the closest opponent, jumping into the air before diving down and stabbing them with both of the hidden blades. When held, you get to choose where to target, which will deal more damage but make you more vulnerable. If you have a potion applied to it, like poison, the target will be poisoned for a while.

    Third Move: Hook Grapple Launch

    • The user will dash forward and use the hook blade to grab their opponent, kicking them away before launching a grapple to pull them back and then kick them away again. When not in combat, it will act as a standard grapple hook that fires from ones wrist and can pull them up obsticles.

    Fourth Move: Hidden Gun

    • The users switches their hidden blade from blade to gun form. It allows for the user to use it as a gun to shoot at their opponents. If its equipped with a potion, the target will be affected by it.

    Fifth Move: Assassination

    • The user takes a stance, holding out both arms to their sides while looking down a bit. If they are attacked, the user will instantly teleport to the attacker, stabbing them in the neck which will deal severe bleed. If it is equipped with a potion, the target will be affected with its status effect.

  2. Its arcanium counter part would be able to have 2 magic spells binded to it

please say nothing if you have nothing to contribute to a discussion.

anyways, hidden blades are cool, but we don’t need a special potion mechanic for them, we already have weapon greases.

Whoops, didn’t mean to make it come off rude.

Yeah but I also agree to what you said.

its less that you came off as rude and more that saying all that just derails the conversation.
suggestion posts would be far better off if we all just collectively forgot stars existed.

or better even if they were removed outright.

My main two gripes with this suggestion are some of the ability concepts and the weapon being the only way to get a grapple hook.

What I suggest for balancing (keep in mind this is quickly thought up so adjustments would be reasonable):

Air Assassination

Too similar to Assassination, a better solution is making this an aura ability that boosts attack speed and makes attacks apply guaranteed T1 bleeding.

Hook Grapple Launch

The move itself is perfectly fine, my main gripe with it is that it locks a mobility option to weapon classes. There could instead be an upgrade found from a skeleton like the one at the Stepstones to use the out of combat option.

Assassination

This is literally just Retaliation but better, it could instead just be a long windup slash that provides an energy regeneration and overheal bonus if landed.

sorry, my response isn’t very developed but hopefully it gives an idea

skeleton spin

have a good day
