The Excelsius

Description
A mod that includes the Excelsius character (my OC).

The Excelsius is a powerful flame demon that specializes in pyrokinesis. He wields the Petroflarian (a flamethrower), the Flare Gun and the Avturnion. The former two inflict afterburn; an effect that deals damage over time. He also has other tricks up his sleeve. He can heal from, multiply, and continuously apply afterburn. He also has the ability to deal a lot of damage when on low health.

The Excelsius is in possession of the Napalm Brooch. This relic allows him to build Heat. Heat can be gained by dealing damage. Once you have 50 Mmph you can activate (right-click) the relic to unleash Napalm Time. Napalm Time grants you triple damage for three turns.

Nice art and some neat mechanic ideas, but hopelessly overpowered.

Alright! I have updated the mod with the improved wording.

ah, sorry for taking so long to comment again! i took a break from STS and completely forgot. The complaint about wording was mostly just about armageddon saying "deal 4 afterburn" instead of "apply" and the effect from It is you who is finished (i think) saying "apply 30 damage" instead of "deal". Very glad to see you're working on this mod still, will play it again for certain

Hello backstyck! I agree with you. Cards having the same artwork can be very confusing. For that reason, I have tried to make each card have unique artwork. I have now updated the mod to include the new card artwork.

A designated placeholder instead of duplicate artwork would probably mitigate the issue that ZloyOlen mentioned. The issue isn't necessarily that you're reusing art. The issue is that once a player associates a particular card art with a particular effect, they are likely to choose it out of habit when playing quickly expecting the original effect they encountered. Seeing a placeholder instead of artwork associated with another particular card would be better, in my opinion.

Hi ZloyOlen! Thank you for your feedback! I've updated the mod. I would like to comment on the issues you've mentioned:
- Sadly I do not have enough artwork to give each card unique art. I do not have any plans to do so in the future.
- I've now added new and (hopefully) proper descriptions for the different powers in this mod.
- Sorry, English isn't my first language. Could you give examples of card descriptions that could use better wording? And maybe improvements?
- I've updated the conditions of the "It's Quite the Opposite" card. I was unable to add a blacklist of buffs. To balance the card, I've edited it so you can now not use it in both Elite and Boss rooms.
- I've now fixed the crash that happens when using the "Reburning Flame" card on an enemy with no Afterburn.

This mod has big potential but there's a few issues:
-multiple cards having the same card art can be a bit confusing at first, but this isn't anything major
-like Astra below me said, buff descriptions would be nice.
-some cards could use better wording (i won't list them out right now, unless someone asks me to)
-[It is quite the opposite] seems to behave weirdly. I'm not a coder so i can't exactly help but if possible having a "blacklist" of buffs would atleast balance the card, as right now it even removes things like minion and afterburn itself. (also it gave me -1 afterburn on an enemy somehow)
-using [reburning flame] on an enemy with no afterburn crashed my game

Besides that this is already very fun, and the only way to go is up

I'm excited to see this mod get some polish and feedback. A big one is that certain buffs and debuffs don't have proper descriptions; Afterburn seems to just say "You have applied x afterburn"

Hello. Please consider deleting this mod and reuploading it again, because right now this mod is unlikely to get any attention. After reuploading it will be seen in "the most recent mods" tab, which is the best way to get more visitors and subscribers.
