Not bad, but unrealistic to the proper use of a Rapier, which indeed made great use of the slashing edge. Lights should be slashes and Heavies should be stabs, as it only makes sense. Moreover, should be right handed, right guard being perhaps Terza or Mista, top guard should be Prima, and left guard should be a Quarta, aa would be proper Rapier style. They would most likely not be wearing too much armour, so faster dodges and less health would be appropriate. Do consider more feinting options, with the unique ability to feint from light given the rightsituation. Dodge attacks should all be lights, and thus slashes, as would make sense. The deflect is a good idea, but with a rapier it would make more sense for a damaging stun, a punch to the face with the hand guard of the rapier would be just fine. His zone is perfectly fine, but i would suggest a very wide arc, yet medium in depth. Might i suggest also more bleed? Give him longer combos, an infinite chain with his lights, which can be interupted with his unique dodge or a heavy. As well, make his dodge nack his bash input, forcing him forward which can be easily punished if he misses. Make his dodge forward, however, a grab. His lights should be able to be charged, making it a heavy. His heavies should be able to be charged as well, variable. Make the emotes more subtle, but with more flair. I would suggest something such as the classic Rapier salute, or perhaps a snip at Zorro for a paid emote. Now, the feats should be something interesting, unique as with any hero, coming with other knight/assassin classic feats as filler. Tier one, a coin toss ability would be funny, instantly changing the guard focus of the targeted enemy to the coin. Might only take them a second to snap back to you, in which you've already started a combo or hit with a light attack. Tier two, i think an automatic feat would be nice, every so often when you throw a hero he'll do a small cut, dealing perhaps 7 damage and 3 bleed. Or, maybe, something that turns a heavy parry into a light parry, and a light parry into... god knows what, enough for a fully charged lunge i suppose? Tier three, something a bit esoteric, like shield, or resistance, or revenge gain. Now that would be interesting, the ability to gain revenge while only fighting one opponent, automatic. Or, if thats not fun, shield charges, four charges of 30 shield. When one is depleted, it takes 3 seconds for the next charge to appear, and a long cooldown after every charge is depleted - this version would be triggered by the player. Tier four, truly a normal thing, auto parry everything for 5 or 10 seconds, which is paused, but not stopped entirely, if you're fighting more than one person. Meaning, of course, if you kill the second person, the timer starts up again in the same place, rounded up for ease of use, so you haven't completely wasted it by a raider appearing right after you use the damned thing. There, that should be satisfactory for a good and decently balanced hero.
@IVova62602 ай бұрын
I 110 percent agree with all of this, using lights as slashes and cuts would make perfect sense. If you look at some rapier duels in real life, duelist don't only go for stabs. Yes, it's a finishing blow, but they mix cuts in to weaken their opponents. In fact, they should make a mechanic for that character where he applys defense nerf if he lands his finishing light, nerfing your defense by 10%. Whether that's a feat or not is up for debate. But the point is cuts can be implemented into a rapier. Let's not fall into a rapier stab only trope.

To be honest. I would like to see a Rapier-esque character added. I would prefer this on a new Wu Lin character using a Jian, since the Wu Lin in my opinion are kinda forgotten. Since the Devs are either too scared to add a new Wu Lin, or they would rather just keep building up the Outlanders. Besides the Jian, last time I checked unless I got my facts wrong. Was the Chinese equivalent to a fencing sword, that was primarily made for thrusting, yet it could slash as effectively. Plus much of what you made for a moveset could easily still translate into a Jian's usage. Knowing the current Dev team though, they would likely replace some of the moves with Slashes vs keeping the majority of them as Thrusts.

Think you've mentioned this idea an older video, but i think it works with the personality and playstyle of the character. Perhaps the idea of a taunt move that gives him an entire new feature/property to certain moves or new moves all together. Like maybe add the counter property during the charged portion of his attacks. Would maybe have to have a couple more charged attacks to make more use of it doing this. Of course the effect wouldn't be infinite, maybe just 1 or 2 counters moves that are used up even if an attack doesn't land. Depending how the taunt is accessed this would have to be changed. Was thinking of a fools guard looking stance where if you successfully land an attack you can taunt directly after. Not fully thought through what the stance would include, just know it would be more of a risky kyoshin stance, with no guards but each input doing something different. Also just wanna say i love your videos and all the stuff you come up with is great, keep up the good work and we'll keep coming back. Thanks for the joy you bring

I love it. Now let’s make it more viable in group fights. This feels like an assassin/hybrid, and utilizes a lot of dodging so let’s give him dodge recovery on his attacks. Light Attacks: Side lights should come in as slashes for some external pressure. Top light remains a stab. Heavy Attacks: Second heavy should be unblock-able. If we do this, either make the third also unblock-able or just remove it entirely. Zone: Might not look crazy realistic but let’s add a spin to it for some extra external range. Forward Dodge: Forward dodge light should be undodge-able. Bash should chain into light, with the option of going for the second in-chain heavy after a bash. Heavy Parry Punishes: Pressing guard-break should perform a quick hilt bash that blinds and guarantees a light but you can also risk it and go for an un-guaranteed heavy instead. (see Light Parry Punishes) Light Parry Punishes: I feel his parry punishes should be special. So let’s give them some special properties, Top is an unblock-able pin but deals slightly less damage. Left should be a slash that inflicts bleed. Right is a stab that deals more damage but has no additional benefits. Deflect: I love it, but seems easily punishable in group fights so let’s say pressing heavy after deflect gives the pin, but pressing zone with perform a quick unblock-able side slash with a large arc and instead of resetting to neutral like the pin, give this move dodge recovery. All-Guard: I feel like giving this character an all guard stance as an option for recovery or dodging can be extremely cool, he takes a step back and holds the blade up in front of his face like Count Dooku. Then you get some unique all-guard attacks. You can simply dodge out of it, light will come from the top as a quick stab, heavy will come out as a slower but harder hitting heavy from the left. Zone will perform a right swing in a large arc that tracks dodges.

These are all great ideas. However it seems you're using it moreso like an epee, as rapiers do indeed have a cutting edge that is too often underestimated (or outright disregarded) in media. In the Spanish rapier teaching of Verdadera Destreza we can see slashes being used prominently (mainly as counterattacks when escaping a bind) as ways to attack the soft areas like the neck and face, usually with a really characteristic wide overhead moulinette to gain momentum with the blade. Personally, I'd make the chain heavies be the aforementioned slashes (sides could have a really steep diagonal trajectory so it's still trash in team fights) and have the heavy parry punish be a quick, shallow cut across the neck area as opposed to another thrust. (Alternatively, you could have the lights be quick, shallow tip slashes with mainly just wrist and elbow movement, and have the heavies be beefier thrusts) As for the forward bash I personally believe that having it instead be a grab (either shoulder or shirt neck) with the offhand into a pommel strike to the face would be more proper rapier use than halfswording it. Overall really cool ideas, big fan of the different unique punishes. I've been wanting a rapier hero for a long time but sadly I don't think we'll get another knight hero. Who knows though? Great video as usual!
