Rifter v0.5.0

Adds Rifter, a positional-based character that utilizes sweet-spots and teleportation to deal massive damage. New build! Please let me know if you like the changes.

MODEL DONE BY COMMANDER JOJO. HE IS AMAZING.

So what's the build?

Passives:

None. Currently. SOTS reasons.

Rift/Fracture

Your shots consist of Rifts and Fracture Lines. Rift are sweet-spot damage at the end of your shot. Primary shots are connected by weaker Fracture Lines that deal 80% 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, OR to Timelock if it is out.

Primary:

Focused Rifts

Shoot a far-ranged rift for 500% damage. Hold primary and secondary for a mid-range rift, that is 20% smaller and weaker.

Buckshot Rifts

Shoot a far-ranged rift for 280% damage (+ 5 x 120% smaller rifts). Hold primary and secondary for a mid-range rift, that is 20% smaller and weaker. Shoots faster, and has a higher proccing chance than the Focused Rift.

Secondaries:

Fracture Shots

Shoot 3 fracture shots for 80% damage each. Each shot is overcharged. Your stocks refill automatically if all shots connect.

Chained Worlds

Out of commission right now. Sorry!

Utilities:

Slipstream

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

Special

Timelock

Create a field that Nullifies enemies. Hitting the field with a well-placed Rift can cause it to explode, dealing 500% (+100% per enemy hit)! *while active, all rifts will teleport enemies to the Timelock.

ChangeLog

ver 0.5.8

• wip icons. Anartoast is goated.
• that's it, I think. Small update.

ver 0.5.7

• double heh. Unlockable should display correctly now (thanks Mightysmallfy for the fix!)
• portal input adjustments
• PORTAL IS NOT MULTIPLAYER FRIENDLY. LIFE WILL BE TERRIBLE IF TWO PEOPLE PLAY RIFTER AND HAVE PORTALS. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE. I'm gonna fix that.

ver 0.5.6

• portals should not proc on use. Blast around portal still procs.
• fixed spelling error that TryAgain pointed out, but I couldn't find it again until now.
• log has minor revisions.

ver 0.5.5

• New Utility: Quantum Portals. Have fun with it. If it's a hit, I might phase out slipstream

• Complete rework of teleportation mechanic (totally did not steal Kenko Seamstress code without permission. Thx tho lol)

• Back vent display mesh removed. It looks much cleaner now.

• roadmap for those interested:

• Alt abilities, unlock abilities

• hit effects (and sfx???)

• skill icons... eventually. Soon or late idk

• expect at least 3 months for animations to even start

ver 0.5.4

• heh

ver 0.5.3

• updated unlockable token

ver 0.5.2

• Bug fixes
• Overlays scale correctly
• Distance assist logic should be improved, with a midrange color swap
• Updated skill texts (TryAgain being a goat once again)
• Added lore
• Scattered Rift should be an unlcockable now
• Teleportation is still buggy. Working on it
• Back vent display improvement

ver 0.5.1

• Bug fix: rifts now teleport enemies to Timelock if there is one out.
• Fracture shots recharging if all shots connected was a silly idea. Too silly, even.
• Removing Chained Worlds for now -- too buggy right now. I want to look at it and fix it in my own time.
• Figured out why Buckshot wasn't working. It's now working.
• Some text adjustments.

ver 0.5.0

• Major Rework!
• SOTS Compatible!
• Primary now has a long-range and mid-range distance. Hold Primary and Secondary for the mid-range distance.
• All New Secondaries!!!
• Secondary: Fracture Shot - shoot 3 consecutive fracture lines that teleport hit enemies.
• Secondary Alt: Chained Worlds - shoot up to 5 rifts that teleport enemies to the next. You may recall this used to be a special.
• All New Special!
• Special: Timelock - create a space which nullifies all enemies within. If present, enemies will be teleported to the Timelock instead of primary distance. Shooting the Timelock with a Rift will cause it to explode!
• Should be networked. Though it might be finicky.
• Teleports are inconsistent. I will wait to see if Gearbox update will help with this.
• I have removed a lot of alts and abilities for this build. If it seems like it's working better, I'll start adding some alts back in and new alts.
• There is no longer ancient scepter items :(
• Cripple chance is removed for the time being.

ver 0.4.6

• RiskOfOptions Support!
• AncientScepter Support!
• Shatter reworked. Cripple is our friend now.
• Updated descriptions.
• Slipstream and Rift Rider now cleanse debuffs. I kept forgetting to do this. I also didn't test if this works.
• Gauntlet 25, Scattering has a new mechanic. I will not elaborate.
• Rifts and Fractures vfx changed once again. This is a neverending story.
• Distance assist beam should no longer spawn at world 0,0,0 if not in use
• I should really make this a 0.5.0 update. But I'm reserving that for bigger changes, aka, animations or sfx.

ToDo/Next update, expect:

• adjust model to be more accurate to vision (the backlight is still being mean to me)
• unlockables!
• hitEffects

ver 0.4.5

ver 0.4.3

• No longer destroys tracer is an enemy is teleported or teleporting with Rift Rider.
• Shatter Icon added

• 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.

• 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.

• Shatter reduces armor and total health of enemies. Stacks up to 20 times, for a max of 60 armor and 50% health reduction.

• primary rift size slightly increased. Distance slightly decreased.
• overcharge now stacks (I actually tested it and it works now)
