Thinking of designing my own hero | Forums

[Knight_Raime]

Cause i'm bored and i've done a few reworks before. Since i'm a knight bro (and no one can ever make me change) he will be a night based hero. I wanted your guy's feedback on where you'd like me to start. What kind of weapon are you wanting to see for a knight based hero? I'm currently looking at a big double headed axe, a spear/pike of some kind, some weapon to go along side a shield of some kind, and a rapier dagger combo. Also could you indicate what kind of hero type you'd like to see? (vanguard, hybrid, assassin, heavy) and if you have any ideas to go along with the weapon to indicate overall playstyle (ex shaolins heavy stance useage) to mention that as well.

I have a few vague ideas of my own but i'd like some info from you guys first.

I'd be curious to see what you would come up with for a tower shield character. A heavy class designed around blocking and bashing, where the bladed weapon was his 2ndary tool; could be a mace or short sword.

Otherwise, maybe look at a Ranger style knight, someone who travels light and fights partly as a grappler. Maybe like an iteration on the Centurion, but instead of having insane guaranteed punishes s/he could have a variety of kicks and strikes that lead into options, so it would be more about mind games and set ups. Hand and a half sword.

My ideal Peacekeeper is a rapier and parrying dagger character, who stands up straight. Not sure how she'd fight (mechanically), but I know what it looks like. Maybe that'll be an idea I could play with.

If I was going with a tower shield I'd deff grab a mace. One of my favorite weapons of all time. The one issue I feel i'd run into immediately though is stepping on conq's toes. As conq is THE defensive individual. I wouldn't know off the top of me head on how to make a tower shield better defense wise compared to conq without busting him in some fashion.

and yeah if I were to do a pike/spear/glaive type knight they would be a grappler/ranged type individual.

Wouldn’t mind seeing you create a double headed axe warrior, in my mind it would either be a Vanguard, Heavy, or a hybrid off the two. No clue on any gimmicks they would have though, like a Offensive stance.

What about a Sword & Buckler hero? Could be a good Vanguard build. The buckler is small enough to provide defense without encroaching on Conqueror's territory and the arming sword was used for centuries in a variety of capacities.

I could see how it could become similar to Gladiator at it's most basic however the tool kit could be designed in such a way to draw major distinctions (and using a sword instead of a trident gives you plenty to work with for variations.)

Just my suggestion, would like to see what you come up with!

In my mind the double headed axe guy would be a mix between Raider and goki. Would most likely be a proper vanguard heavy hybrid mix unlike aramusha.

For me when I think of sword buckler and the type of fighting that would be similar to the rapier dagger combo I had mentioned. Because when I think buckler I think of parrying tool. Which equals to the parrying dagger rapier mix.
