Dragonslayer

Description
Now Updated for CoM! Big thanks to Typical Arthas for his Russian translation!

Class Introduction:

Dragonslayer is based on Ornstein from Dark Souls, though I interpret him more broadly. He's primarily a damage dealer which specializes in killing size 2 targets, and armored targets. He has access to some support skills, too. A variety of trinkets allow him to fill multiple roles, and you can play him as a shuffler or stationary character.

Art Credit:

AceroSteel drew this, based on another artist's work. Praise him as you would the Sun!
Bkkmims created trinket art! Praise her, too!

Combat Skills:

Swift Strike:

- - O O v X X - -

Dragonslayer's standard attack. It gains damage against size 2 targets, and builds electricity to empower his Lightning Impale.

Lightning Spear:

O O - - v X X X -

Dragonslayer hurls lightning at his enemies, piercing armor with it. This attack builds electricity to empower his Lightning Impale.

Sacred Oath:

O O O O

Dragonslayer casts a miracle, increasing his allies protection and damage. It lasts an entire battle.

Lightning Impale:

- O O O v X X - -

Dragonslayer impales his enemy. Without electricity gathered from other attacks, this attack is merely a low-damage stun. Moves Dragonslayer forward 1.

Lightning Dash:

O O - - v X X X X

Dragonslayer charges at the enemy, piercing their armor with his spear. This attack builds electricity to empower his Lightning Impale.

Golden Glint:

- - O O v X X X X

Dragonslayer dodges backwards, ready to riposte.

Princess' Guard:

O O O O

Dragonslayer guards an ally and gains some dodge.


Camp Skills:

In addition to the normal camp skills, Dragonslayer has...

Dynamic Duo: Dragonslayer creates a tag team with a partner from the party, bestowing similar stats the Executioner had.
Lion Eye: Dragonslayer gains accuracy.
Reach Advantage: Dragonslayer gains riposte damage.
Captain's Vigil: Dragonslayer provides watch, removing threat of ambush and reducing surprise chance.

Trinkets:

Dragonslayer Soul: Bonus damage on ranged attacks and virtue chance.
Ring of the Firstborn: Bonus damage on ranged attacks.
Leo Ring: Gains riposte damage.
Dragonslayer Band: Gains bonus damage from position 1, and against size 2 targets.

Dragonslayer Swordspear: CC trinket. Gain melee damage and strong virtue chance at the cost of much more stress.
Shield of the Rock: CC trinket. Gain immense protection, health, and move resistance at the cost of speed.

Final Thoughts:

I've wanted to revisit the Dragonslayer for a long time. It was my first mod.

I think my skills have come a long way, and my ability to deliver quality has improved.

This uprade to Dragonslayer is very simple. It swaps his heal for an AoE buff. I'm sure people will feel this is more accurate to his in-game lore, and perhaps better balanced. Others might be disappointed to lose something which has defined him for so long. I respect both perspectives, but I believe the Dragonslayer remains a support-oriented damage dealer with this change.

I think I've succeeded. I'm sure I'll hear whether I have or not.

If I revisit this guy again, he'll likely have stances.

A Friendly Request:

I like feedback. Please keep it to the forums, though-- comments for my mod are intended to be short messages, or urgent ones about bugs.


Future plans:

None.

Not for the Dark Souls classes, no. I have a huge compendium of these things, but I never got around to finishing them. They were going to come with light class tweaks or overhauls.

Sure, have at it. Just credit myself for the class, AceroSteel for the art, and for Abysswalker, Slightly Startled Seal helped with the new idle/walk/combat animations.

@Caedwyn, i recently received permission to create an addon for the Order of Sunlight mod, and i was wondering if i may use some of your mod assets in the addon? I plan to make a dark faction to rival the order of sunlight, and have wandering enemies depending on the faction of people you bring into a dungeon. with your permission, i would like to add your dragonslayer knight to the bands of sunlight faction enemies to be encountered when entering a dungeon with a team of abyss faction characters
