Fake Skills Pitch-A-Thon

Post by Lychwood »

Got a terrible idea for a Nexus skill? Leave them here and I'll bag them up at the curb.
Here's a couple from the Discord:

Vox Populus: Cause passive infusion through speech. Doubled if you are an Archon. Quadrupled while under the effects of Rapturous Chant
Waste Not: Gain supplemental holy damage equivalent to the total number of holy books on the ground throughout Nexus when the attack is procced

I am the filthiest casual.

Infernal Bowel Syndrome: IB ability, 60 CP child of Burning Aura. The IB now suffers from debilitating alimentary problems, manifested explosively for 15/150 AOE Fire Damage plus 50% chance of Minor Poison vs all in the same tile. Randomly triggered 25% chance by expenditure of MP.

Heavenly Banishment: EH ability, 90 CP child of Harbinger of Death. Evil (or Neutral with HoZ) characters killed by the EH whilst under the Harbinger status are banished to the Released Characters section of the players account.

Chariot of Injustice: A Corruptor who has control of four Wheel of Injustice along with one other superpet, they can transform their pets into a Chariot of Injustice. Doing so gives them the same movement discount as Ether Stepping / Feet of the Wind and moving over the tile of any other character has all five pets make a single attack.

If any of the pets die or despawn for any reason, the chariot is destroyed and the Corruptor gets thrown off for 20 damage.

Swim, 5CP, allows you to move through water tiles at the cost of 1 action point as opposed to two.

Yeah that's the joke :P Swim was such a useless skill that it got replaced by Athleticism. So bring swim back, bad skill time
