Rifter v0.0.4

Adds Rifter, a positional-based character that utilizes sweet-spots and teleportation to deal massive damage. This is a pre-alpha build, mostly for playtesting.

So what's the build?

Passives:

Rift/Fracture

Your shots consist of Rifts and Fracture Lines. Rift are sweet-spot damage at the end of your shot. Primary and Secondary shots are connected by weaker Fracture Lines that deal 100% damage that are unable to activate item effects. Rifts are weakened if they hit the ground before max distance.

Overcharge

Overcharge teleports enemies hit by a skill to your far-range rifts.

Primary:

Rift Gauntlet Ranged

Shoot a far-ranged rift for 600% damage.

Secondaries:

Rift Gauntlet

Shoot a mid-range rift for 375% damage. Incurs no cooldown.

Rapidfire Gauntlet

Shoot a mid-range rift for 375% damage. Hold up to 3. Last shot is overcharged.

Refraction

Shoot a spread of 3 mid-range rifts for 475% damage each. Always overcharged.

Utilities:

Slipstream

Teleport a short distance, briefly turning invulnerable. Your next shot is overcharged.

Rift Rider

Travel through your primary rift. Hit enemies are teleported to your previous location.

Special

Recursion

Charge up to 5 rifts centered on you, dealing 200% - 1500% damage. Last rift is overcharged. note: the first rift starts at 350% damage and a radius of 10m. Subsequent rifts are 20% stronger and larger than the last.

Chained Worlds

Charge up to 5 rifts stepped out for 400% damage, with each rift 20% stronger than the last. Each rift teleports enemies to the next rift.

Ending Notes

Discord is pending. If you have any issues, let me know in the Ideas - Rifter tab for now. That'll change in the future.

Special thanks to a lot of people. Uhhhh who were they? Tsuyoikenko, S***ter, TRYAGAIN211, TimeSweeper, Chinchi, MotherEgg, Wavy and other people I forgot. Thanks a bunch!

ChangeLog

ver 0.3.0

• Description changes
• Specials reworked! Recursion is now a ranged tool, and Chained Worlds acts as god intended (or so I hope).
• Enemy healthbar now shows the amount of health shattered.
• May or may not have fixed shatter being applied by non-rifter characters. This needs to be playtested.

ver 0.2.3

• forgot dll whoops

ver 0.2.2

• description fixes and changes. (Special thanks to TRYAGAIN211 for the constant help with this!)
• many a nerf, to compensate for shatter's strengths.
• secondaries are all at 300%. Changes to percentage will be based on which feels the weakest from here on out.
• specials were lowered to 280% base damage.
• this should be the last update for a hot minute. Will be working on VFX, getting a model, etc. Have fun, and let me know how the damage %s feel!

ver 0.2.1

• Networked!
• Some slight fixes, Rapidfire is reverted to base stocks of 3, not 4 (it was a mistake)
• Cooldown increases were made, this was from the last update, forgot to mention
• Chained Worlds logic is pretty screwy at times. I will work on this, but in the meantime, either avoid it or let me know what situations make it worse.

ver 0.2.0

• Bug Fix: Rift Rider teleports enemies again.
• Some Networking has been done. Yay! Not fully networked.

Major Changes

• Base damage has been increased from 12 to 14. This means ALL ability percentages have been tweaked.
• Rift radius has been reduced for primary and secondary.
• Added a new experimental passive: Shatter. Currently a hidden debuff (will not count toawrds Deathmark rn).
• Shatter reduces armor and total health of enemies. Stacks up to 20 times, for a max of 60 armor and 50% health reduction.
• Armor reduction for shatter is NOT linear; this is used to assist with bosses and spongy enemies.
• health reduction IS linear. Not that you needed to know either of these.
• Shatter is not networked currently

ver 0.1.0

• Bug Fix: Added R2API_DamageType as a dependency. LMK if this isn't working correctly still
• Bug Fix: Rifts no longer permanently Friendly Fire
• Bug Fix: All Refraction Rifts now teleport
• primary rift size slightly increased. Distance slightly decreased.
• overcharge now stacks (I actually tested it and it works now)
• Chained Worlds might be buggy, but I think I reverted it
• issues: Teleporting enemies does not activate if you are not the host player. Working on it.
• future changes: vfx overhaul, model, anims, you know, the pretty stuff.
• I only changed it to 0.1.0 cuz I felt like it.

ver 0.0.6

• slight change. Maybe it worked, maybe it didn't.

ver 0.0.5

• Yippee! Blacklisting works (lunar is not blacklisted as of currently - for research purposes)
• Slipstream stacks overcharges (I was lazy, I did not double check, let me know if I'm lying)

buffs/nerfs

• Refraction cooldown changed to 3s.
• Refraction damage reduced from 375% to 325%. It seems fairly balanced now.
• Refraction side rifts might not teleport enemies? This is a bug if so. Will change. Let me know.

ver 0.0.4 Eventual Changes:

• blacklisting of lunar enemies, void barnacles, and minor constructs from being teleported
• possible slipstream changes

Changes:

• Added another special: Chained Worlds
• Added basic vfx. Ideas or help welcome. I don't like it.

buffs/nerfs

• primary buffed from 550% to 600%
• refraction now always teleports
• recursion buffed to 350% base damage

ver 0.0.3

• Got rid of my lazy implementation of passives that aren't showing up anyways (they were breaking things, apparently (hopefully))

ver 0.0.2

• I intended to add basic vfx for visual clarity. I am leaving that for later (if you want to do this, let me know!)
• Made it so other skills cannot be used during Recursion.
• Fixed Rift Rider getting cancelled by everything.

  buffs/nerfs

• primary buffed from 450% to 550%
• Refraction buffed from 375% to 475% (I'm too lazy to change the logic right now, so I'm testing this first)
• Recursion charge-up time has been increased from .5s to .8s.

ver 0.0.1

• Initial build
