Description
Boonewielder is a defensive powerhouse, updated for 1.9.0 and balanced around the Vanilla cast.

They wield the Boone, an esoteric (fictional) ritualistic weapon, shaped from a shard of metal to be 40% sharp, and 60% blunt. It destroys many projectiles on contact, while controlling massive amounts of space.

Their main mechanic is passive meter generation, constantly gaining meter while not in hitstun. However, many of their options are dependent on meter or resources to use. Manage this properly, and aim with precision and destruction.

Yes, the character is a block. All moves are animated to the best of my ability, and the character may be updated with optional skin(s) to replace the block with a more humanoid design.

Special thanks to:

- ForsetCabiri - Absolute GOAT. Cracked. A big part of why I'm able to do this at all. Has contributed invaluable feedback and artworks.
- Wex - A great source of design feedback, concepts, and matches since the beginning.
- TheBigSad - cracked :sob:
- DD - Support on my various projects for a very, very long time. Much love, much appreciation.
- VineRaio, roycebracket, 6A, Videofreak, hunter_, scrodumhat, & the unstable-hustle channel - Invaluable and varied feedback, gameplay, concepts, and laughs.
- Luantic - sneed
- My Wife - mah waif

Please report any bugs you find! The Boone's projectile-eating properties may not be rigorously tested against some modded characters. If some interactions don't play nice, or you encounter other bugs or crashes, please share!

This character is Character Codex complete.

Inspired by Hakumen from BlazBlue.

a literal block destroying projectiles while approaching menacingly before smashing people into the ground is just what i needed

Boonewielder's codex entry is as thorough as anyone can ask for, not only offering frames and hard data, but also (perhaps more crucially) guidelines, behavior and suggested usage for individual moves, on top of a general gameplan in the character's summary. It's perhaps one of the models for the ideal codex entry. Very well done.

If you're having any trouble playing them, make sure to go into your in-game options and delete your character cache-

Also! Unsubscribe from Char Loader! It's part of the game now!

@addict The squares on the HUD are Boonewielder's Charge stocks. Using the Charge special gives them a pip, and they can hold up to three charges at a time. A Charge stock is spent when Boonewielder uses any version of their Punish special, hit or miss (if they're interrupted, the stock is not spent).

what is the cube thing right below the health bar?

It's the rock-solid gameplay and balance, combined with the absolute audacity of the character design, that makes Boonewielder stand out as a character worth having.

You. You flatter me dearly
Reminding me why I make things in the first place-
MASSIVELY appreciated, and I can only hope keep it up going forward—
In the meantime, do enjoy~

I love how we have characters like Wrath, Ronin, Red Mist, Moonwalker, and friggin GUILDEDGUY on the workshop roster, and yet THIS doofus is one of my favorite characters. I'm a sucker for characters and powers in games that specialize in defense and counterattacks, and Boonewielder basically allows you to cosplay as the immovable object. Boone is also, stupidly, the most visibly intimidating character in AND out of the YOMI roster, and I cannot explain why. We have cruel gods and wretched abominations up for grabs and yet the one thing that makes me oddly nervous is the friggin C U B E

10/10 mod, wish more people had it
