Cool Weapon Set I Thought Of

I was bored so I made a cool weapon set thingy

Spoiler: King of Hearts

The wand ''King of Hearts'' would gain the major ID ''Aces High'' which I will explain later. It would also become a fabled with the lore:

''There once was a king
O the smiles he would bring
He had such a heart of gold
That his people would go young from old''

Spoiler: King of Spades

King of spades would be a fabled level 97 spear with the major ID ''Aces high''. It would be focused around earth damage and the bash spell. Similarly to KoH it would only allow you to use your ''RLR'' spell.

I'm not good with stats and balancing so I don't know what sort of stats it would get. This thread is mostly focused around the ''Aces High'' major ID idea. Maybe someone in the comments can make balanced stats for each weapon.



Lore:
''There once was a king
O how his people would sing
In terror as they would wake
To his spade-induced earthquakes''

Spoiler: King of Clubs

King of Clubs would be a fabled level 97 relik with the Aces High major ID. It would be focused around Totem and lock you from using any other spell similarly to KoH. However, it would give an absurdly high totem damage buff.

Lore:
''There once was a king
O the pain he would bring
As every criminal scrub
Would be beaten with a club''

Spoiler: King of Diamonds

King of Diamonds would be a fabled level 97 dagger with the Aces High major ID. Like the previous weapons, it would be focused around your RLR spell, so in this case, spin attack. With it, you are unable to use any spell other than spin attack either because they do no damage (preferably this so vanish still works) or because the mana cost is ridiculously high. Despite this, your spin attack is very strong with this weapon.

Lore:
''There once was a king
O how the wind would swing
As his enemies were skinned
In a diamond whirlwind''

Spoiler: Aces High

+Aces High: When there are people using the rest of the King weapons in a 30 block radius, all damage is tripled. However, you cannot switch weapon during this effect and you take more damage.

I think this would make for a really fun mechanic to play with in raids, since it allows you to play risky but do a lot of damage with the power of teamwork.

(for further explanation, the ID would be in effect only if there is at least one person for each weapon in a 30 block radius.)

Spoiler: Some explanations

I called the major ID ''Aces high'' since it makes you play risky with great reward, just like using aces in poker.

I gave all the weapons a little tale for their description since Fabled lores are supposed to be flavour texts instead of actual lore and backstory. If these were in game, their lore would not be canon.

I didn't make a bow one because I felt as though the 3 classes I chose fit with their weapons well.

I don't really see this being added to the game, and I don't really see it being balanced in any way. I came up with this concept for fun.

Let me know what you think

 

So basically everyone becomes a walking totem

 

mmmm not sure how i feel about them all being king of ____
i think i'd prefer the other face cards (and ace, since warrior already has ace of spades)

also. your spear concept is... literally black amaranth, no?



aside from that major id seems like it would either be very strong or the weapons would just have shit base so they probably wouldn't be used. and. you said the relik also has its own totem damage boost, which i'm assuming would apply multiplicatively with the major id set bonus which is kind of :woozy_face:


i like the overall concept of having synergy between players with specific weapons

 

would that set have a “king of ___” bow?

 

I actually had no idea there was an ace of spades spear

also my highest level warrior is level 11 i have no idea what weapons warrior gets other than like hero and stuff e

I hadn't thought out the major ID fully when I wrote the Shaman one and would probably have given it a small damage boost since it'd only be able to use totem which just gets cancelled as soon as you switch weapon

The reason the damage boost is in place is to make it somewhat viable, as having a totem that can't aura, uproot or haul is completely useless normally. However, even with that it's be a shit relik that people only use when they are trying to use the Major ID. At least the King of Spades and King of Diamonds can be used as a secondary like KoH

When I was writing this thread, I wanted it to be ''Each of these 4 classes has a special weapon for the set, and then each special weapon focuses on its own spell e.g mage = heal, warrior = charge, shaman = aura, assassin = smoke bomb. Then I realised that I gave Warrior bash and I wanted that to remain because of the earthquake effect. So I just stuck with the RLR theme for each weapon.

When I was writing this, I didn't know if I wanted King of Diamonds to be a dagger or a bow. Both would have made sense, since the theme is being pummelled with very sharp objects. I settled on dagger since all the weapons would be RLR instead of 3 RLR and 1 LRL. Even then I still wanted to make a bow, but I didn't do one. I had an idea for it though, and right now I thought of a way for it to work

Spoiler: Jester (Bow)

Jester would be a level 97 fabled bow with one of 3 major IDs that I can't decide on. Like The Nothing, all of its stats would be completely random in battle.


Here's the selection of Major IDs:
+Madness: Casts a random spell every 5 seconds (good idea)

+Wild card: Casts either totem, heal, bash or spin attack when you use LRL (bad idea)

+Chaos: Every time you cast a spell, it is instead randomly selected (bad idea)

Like pandemonium, this is a stupid and useless item that should not be used other than for fun. Honestly, I think this one shouldn't exist at all because of how useless it is overall.
