New Drone/Item Suggestion Thread

    I don't really like the idea of another item that doesn't do anything combat-wise. In fact, it doesn't affect gameplay whatsoever.

    And since I should be adding some suggestion(s) along with this post...

    Sticky Bomb [Tier 2 Passive]
    Attacking an enemy has a chance to attach a timed bomb to it, which explodes after a delay. (After a short period of time (~3 seconds), the sticky bomb detonates, dealing damage to mobs around it.)

    Eruption [Tier 3 Passive]
    Killing an enemy has a chance to cause an eruption, dealing damage vertically. (Think a volcanic eruption at the ground that spews lava upwards for a certain height, then fades after a bit. Or a geyser of lava. A neat effect would be the killed mob's body floating on the lava. If anyone's played Dust: An Elysian Tail, this is the same concept as Fidget's fire projectile. Not sure if adding a knockback would make this item better or worse.)

      I thought a cool change to the "The Backup" would be something like this:
      For the first few seconds after activation, drones start spawning at a rate of about 1 per half second up to a max of 4-6 drones. Each immediately starts to fire at enemies per usual drone AI. Once the effect gets close to ending, the drones will sequentially (each in turn, the reverse order they spawned) burst into flame and spiral in an arc at the nearest enemy (or just the ground, if no enemies are around) and explode on contact, dealing a small amount of aoe damage. This would solve the problem of that item being relatively useless without just buffing it's damage or duration, and with a cool-looking effect to boot.

              In an effort to reduce the need for Harvester Scythe and/or Leeching Seed to get far in a run, I though there should be more items that have healing effects. I submit these for consideration. Change the values as necessary for balancing, of course.

              Leechflower Bloom (tier dependent on balancing)
              inflicting damage restores health or damages you a random amount from -5 to 15. The point here is that it's like a more advanced stage of the Leeching Seed (look at the description) in that it can damage you, but the expected value of the healing is still greater than the seed gives. Depending on how it works in practice, the values might be increased.

              Bloodlust [tier 3]
              There is a (>5?)% chance upon killing an enemy that you gain (massive life per hit/massive health regen) and increased attack speed for 5 seconds or so.

                    Philosopher's Stone[Active]:
                    Cooldown: 130 seconds (pending balance)
                    • Mouse-over description - Knowledge is power. Power corrupts.
                    • Short description - Permanently doubles a passive at random, but makes enemies more difficult.
                    • Detailed description - When used, randomly picks a passive that the player has collected and doubles it permanently, while also permanently upping the Director's point scaling by (1%? 5%? also stacks with more uses), resulting in stronger/more mobs quicker. Use it too much and you may be overrun before you're ready, especially if the items randomly chosen for doubling turn out to be rubbish.
                    • Other - This would likely just break the game and make a character godly sooner in an endless survival mode as is currently in the game, and as such should probably not be made available in Arena or other Endless modes in the final game. It should also be exceptionally rare, even as Actives go. It seems like it could be fun as it would give the player a sense of eagerness each time they activate the item to see if something awesome gets the perma-boost, or if they just end up with a double-stack of an item they find disappointing. Probably stacks well with the Clover, as it'd likely up the occurrence of elites sooner.
                    • Other Other - Actually based on an item from my headworld, but I thought it might make for an interesting mechanic in a game like this.
                    This was found on the corpse of the extradimensional drone that landed a few years ago. You know, the one that decimated 70% of the [REDACTED] military? Yeah, that one. It appears to be a living crystal of sorts, which contains untold amounts of knowledge from beings beyond our comprehension... on the downside, it's nearly impossible to tap, and in the mean time, the radiation this thing emits is off the charts. The spontaneous mutations caused by its emissions are ridiculous, so we highly suggest you don't take it out of this protective casing unless you're very serious about studying it. I would honestly prefer if you passed it on to [REDACTED] for safekeeping. He would know how to handle it.

                      The extra effort you go through to make something, even as simple as a neat little sprite, Daimera, really makes a difference. It looks great!
                      ===

                      Now, for some items of my own. This will be a rather long post, so I'll put lots of things in spoiler tags for you. :p

                      Kiss of the Vampire [Tier 2]
                      Use an ability on cooldown at the cost of some HP.
                      Using an ability when it's still on cooldown reactivates it, but at the cost of 2,5% of your current health per second of cooldown bypassed. If this would cause you to take lethal damage, the effect does not trigger. Additionally, it leaves the player debuffed with the Anaemia status effect for 2 seconds. If the ability is triggered while the Anaemia debuff is applied, it costs an additional 0,5% health per stack of Anaemia active.


                      • Every second Kiss of the Vampire collected causes Anaemia's additional health cost to drop by 0,01%. In theory, this means that if the player has collected 100 Kisses of the Vampire, the additional health cost caused by Anaemia is 0%.
                      • Every other Kiss of the Vampire collected causes the initial health cost to drop by 0,005%. If the player collects more than 101 Kisses, completely removing Anaemia's additional health cost, this effect is the only effect that is stacked (to prevent every second Kiss after 101 collected Kisses from doing nothing at all). In theory, if the player collects 351 Kisses, the item's health cost is 0%.


                      Wolf Blood [Tier 2]
                      Crit hits increase attack speed.
                      Landing a critical strike causes attack speed to be raised by 10% for three seconds. This effect stacks onto itself till up to three times. At full stacks, Wolf Blood causes the player to become Enraged, increasing critical strike damage by 15% and raising critical strike chance by 10% of the current critical strike chance.

                      Additional pickups of Wolf Blood raise the increased attack speed by 1%. The Enraged buff is strengthened by further increasing critical strike damage by 2%.


                      Coffee Beans [Tier 1]
                      Caffeine highs are met with cafeine lows.
                      Whenever the player becomes Hasted, they experience a caffeine high, further boosting the Haste by raising its effect by 50%. However, afterwards they become debuffed with the Drowsy effect, slowing their movement speed by 30% but increasing their health regen by 15% for two seconds.

                      Multiple Coffee Beans increase the effect of the Haste by 5% and increase the slow amount by 2% and the health regen by 1%. Every second pickup of Coffee Beans additionally causes the Drowsy effect to last for 0,1 seconds longer.


                      Adrenaline [Tier 3]
                      Massive tradeoffs for better or worse.
                      This item deals in massive tradeoffs depending on a player's buffs and debuffs. Its effects may vary depending on whether the player is
                      • Hasted: increases the Haste's effect by 10% and additionally grants a 10% attack speed increase.
                      • Drowsy: increases duration of the debuff by 25%.
                      • Enraged: causes bonus damage for 50% of the base attack damage.
                      • debuffed with Anaemia: health regen is decreased by 50%.
                      • low on HP: at 25% health, Adrenaline raises movement and attack speeds by 10% and 2% respectively for every 1% of health lost below that threshold.

                      Multiple pickups of Adrenaline raise its base effects:
                      • Hasted: the Haste's effect is buffed with an additional 2%.
                      • Drowsy: increases duration of the effect by another 1%.
                      • Enraged: bonus damage is increased by 5%.
                      • debuffed with Anaemia: health regen is decreased further by 1%.
                      • low on HP: movement and attack speeds are raised even more by 1% and 0,5% respectively for every 1% HP missing below the threshold.


                      UPGRADE [Active]
                      120 second cooldown. Upgrades your active Drones.
                      Causes your drones to be upgraded like so:
                      • Healing Drones heal for 50% more.
                      • Attack Drone Mk Is become Attack Drone Mk IIs.
                      • Attack Drone Mk IIs deal 15% more damage.
                      • Missile Drones gain 1 additional missile per round fired.
                      • Flame Drones cause their target to become Burned, slowing their movement speed by 10% and damaging them over time for 10% of their max HP. Additional upgrades slow enemies for 5% more and deal 2% more damage.
                      • Laser Drones deal an additional 12% of damage.



                      Ol' Saint Patrick's Hat [Tier 3]
                      Increase your luck.
                      Causes drops to become more valuable: bins drop 20% more gold, XP and HP; loot from mobs is increased by 30%; containers have a 2% chance to drop two items instead of one.

                      Bins' drop value is increased by 5%; mob loot becomes 10% more valuable; containers' double drop chance is increased by 0,5%.


                      Cloning Vial [Tier 2]
                      Items have a chance to dupe.
                      Items have a 1% chance to be duplicated; picking one up may result in gaining two.

                      Chance to clone items is increased by 0,5%.


                      Death's Embrace [Tier 3]
                      Has a chance to defy death, reviving the player upon hitting 0 HP.
                      A ring that raises the chance you will rise from the dead! After dying and lying around a corpse for two seconds, you burst back to life, knocking enemies back, making you invulnerable for four seconds, granting you 50% of your max HP and raising your movement speed by 200% for the duration. Defying death leaves you with the Mortality debuff for 150 seconds, which, when active, causes the chance that Death's Embrace procs to drop to 0%. The ring in the item HUD appears broken and black smoke emanates from the player as long as Mortality is up. Half of the amount of collected rings is consumed on use. If only one ring is present, one ring is removed.

                      Every Death's Embrace raises the chance of revival by 2%, starting at 6% with the first ring. Additionally, every Death's Embrace past the 48th pickup (100% chance to be resurrected) lowers Mortality's cooldown by 1 second. In theory, having 198 Death's Embraces will allow you to cheat death twice in a row. Remember though that half of the Death's Embraces are consumed every time the player is resurrected.


                      Scythe of the Reaper [Tier 2]
                      Increases crit damage and chance.
                      Increases critical damage and strike chance by 20% and 5% respectively. Additionally, if the player is debuffed with Mortality, this effect is increased by 50%.

                      Multiple Scythes increase critical damage and strike chance by 2% and 1,5% respectively.


                      The Hourglass of Life [Tier 3]
                      Has an auto-firing active with a cooldown of 30 seconds, which kils all marked enemies and replaces them with Ghosts.
                      Passively marks enemies hit with the Touched by Death debuff, showing as an hourglass above their head. At 50 marks, a ghostly hourglass appears over the player, turns and disappears as the 50 marked enemies disappear in clouds of black smoke and are replaced by familiar Ghosts in a similar fashion to the Happiest Mask and Jar of Souls items.

                      Every additional Hourglass of Life reduces the amount of marked enemies needed to trigger the effect by 1. The proc doesn't immediately happen if this number is reached, but the effect fires if both the cooldown of 30 seconds and the amount of marked enemies required are met. From 50 Hourglasses onwards, the proc cooldown is reduced by 0,5 seconds per pickup. If 50 enemies are marked, the cooldown is ignored and the Hourglass triggers, resetting the cooldown.


                      Dreamcatcher of Lost Souls [Tier 3]
                      Collect Souls to receive permanent upgrades.
                      Enemies have a chance to leave behind a collectible Soul upon death. Increasing the number of Souls collected increases the passive stat upgrades this item grants, up to a cap. Souls disappear after 5 seconds and have a chance of 15% to drop. There are four 'dreams' this item can make come true when collecting Souls. Each stat upgrade is randomly chosen when a Soul is collected, so there is no real order in which these upgrades progress, except that if one stat is capped, it is removed from the upgrade pool. The stat increases and their caps are as follows:
                      Per Soul / Cap​
                      • Dream of Speed: + 1% / + 30% increased movement speed.
                      • Dream of Power: + 0,5% / + 20% increased base attack damage.
                      • Dream of Vitality: + 0,6% / + 18% increased max HP.
                      • Dream of Ferocity: + 0,4% / + 10% chance to Fear enmies on-hit.
                      Players must watch out for Nightmare Souls, dark, wretched Souls, that occasionally drop. Upon collecting 5 of these, any (combination of) the following may happen as the player becomes debuffed with Nightmare Manifest:
                      - movement speed is reduced by the amount Dream of Speed should be buffing it (the Dream's effect is reversed).​
                      - controls are reversed.​
                      - damage received is increased by 15%.​
                      - black fog covers the edges of the screen, reducing visibility.​
                      - gold ceases to drop.​
                      - base attack damage is lowered by the amount that Dream of Power should be increasing it (the Dream's effect is reversed).​
                      Collecting an amount of Souls equal to the amount of Nightmare Souls collected to trigger Nightmare Manifest, removes the debuff and resets the Nightmare Souls count to 0.

                      Stacking Dreamcatchers does a number of things:
                      • It increases the caps for the Dreams by 10%, 5%, 6% and 4% respectively.
                      • It increases the number of Nightmare Souls that need to be collected in order for Nightmare Manifest to trigger by 1.

                      I hope you like them! :D
                      My favourite are the Dreamcatcher and Adrenaline, because I think they would make for some very interesting gameplay.

                        Right, so I decided to look through the topic and try to jot down as much as possible on the items (not the drones!). This list is pretty sloppy, and there are some not listed (either due to it already existing, or it wasn't given a name but a future idea did), but it should give you an idea as to what ideas are already suggested:

                        And not to mention the currently existing items. I only decided to do this so I don't end up accidentally "copying" someone else's idea!

                        Wizard's Scepter (Tier 3)
                        Gives several stat boosts and an upgrade to your 4th ability
                        Health Boost: 400
                        Health Regen Boost: 0.5
                        Armor Boost: 1.5
                        Attack Speed Boost: 5%

                        Each character gets a unique bonus to their 4th abilities.

                        Commando: Suppressive Fire fires 10 shots instead of 6 shots, and can be used while moving around.

                        Miner: To The Stars gets a reduced cooldown from 4.5 seconds to 3 seconds, and gets a number on the icon. It works like the Engineer's Bounding Mine and Auto-Turret; you can store up to 2 uses for the ability (effectively allowing you to triple-jump), and it will recharge as the cooldowns wear off.

                        Bandit: Lights Out deals 1000% damage instead of 600%, and reduces the wind-up time to 0.1 seconds.

                        HAN-D: FORCED-REASSEMBLY's force radius is increased by 50%, and deals double damage to any enemy that comes in contact with the hammer itself.

                        Engineer: Auto-Turret now has a maximum capacity of 3 Turrets, and increases their health and firing rate by 35%.

                        Huntress: Cluster Bomb's bomblet count is raised to 10, and each bomblet now explodes into 2 tiny bomblets that deal 25% damage each. From this, the maximum possible damage goes from 800% to 1620%.

                        Acrid: Epidemic spreads up to 4 enemies, and anyone that deals damage to the infected enemies will get healed.



                        Stacking Effect: Gives the same stat boosts, but no upgrades to the 4th ability.




                        Hermes Boots (Tier 2)
                        Increases your movement speed up to 50% as you run
                        As you run in a direction, your character will gradually gain movement speed. The cap is reached after running for 4 seconds, which will cause a smoke effect to emit from your feet as you run.

                        When you stop running, the movement speed bonus is lost until you start running, again.

                        Jumping while the Hermes Boots is in effect will not negate it; however, it will pause the movement speed increase until you land on the ground.

                        Stacking Effect: The time it takes to reach to the 50% movement speed bonus is decreased by 0.5s. The effeciency of collecting the Hermes Boots is capped at 9, where starting to run on the floor at all will have a 50% movement speed increase.




                        Turtle Shell (Tier 2)
                        Increased armor by 40% from behind
                        The back-half of the character will have 40% increased armor against attacks.

                        Stacking Effect: The armor bonus for the back gets half the bonus. So it goes to 60%, to 70%, to 75%, etc.




                        Boss Rush (Active)
                        Turns certain enemies on view into bosses
                        Will work on Jellyfishes, Rock/Snow Golems, (Greater) Wisps, Black Imps, and Boarlits.

                        When used, all of the above enemies that are on-screen will turn into their boss-versions, and their health will reset back to full. When used on a champion/elite enemy, it will turn into a boss with the color it had before.

                        Jellyfish -> Wandering Vagrant
                        Rock/Snow Golem -> Colossus
                        (Greater) Wisp -> Ancient Wisp
                        Black Imp -> Imp Overlord
                        Boarlit -> Toxic Beast

                        Cooldown: 180 Seconds


                        (If you get the references to the first two, you win internet cookies.)

                        Of course, this is my first time trying to make suggestions for items, so they might seem quite overpowered/unbalanced.

                          Explode! [Active]:

                          Cooldown: 30s
                          • Causes you to explode, taking 10%(?) of your max health and damaging nearby enemies, while knocking them back.
                          Sorry if this is already in the game or suggested, I haven't exactly gotten everything unlocked :p

                            Hero's Sword [Tier 1]
                            [​IMG] (Description: "This looks like the Hero's sword, but really it's just some sort of cheap knock-off that you could find at your local Kids/Role-playing store. Seems to have some sorta weird, Choppy laser beam technology in it... *Grumble* Kids these days and their stupid laser swords *Grumble*")
                            - Randomly fires a laser from your basic attack that shoots straight forward (5% chance per attack, since you are kind of going to most likely spam your basic attack on most characters), laser goes as far as an average Gun shot before going poof, laser travels slowly compared to a gun shot..
                            - Laser deals 50% of your Base Damage.
                            - (If possible) When at full life Lasers fire 100% of the time.
                            [​IMG] [Obvious Zelda reference is obvious]
                            But yeah, this is just my simple, and probably stupid idea for an item, half-jokingly. Obviously stats and pictures and description could be changed if they really wanted to use this (probably bad) idea, I just put them there cuz I could. :p
                            Sorry if anyone else had an idea like this I didn't really shift through all of the items on this thread.

                              Updated the Wizard's Scepter to include the two new classes!

                              Huntress: Cluster Bomb's bomblet count is raised to 10, and each bomblet now explodes into 2 tiny bomblets that deal 25% damage each. From this, the maximum possible damage goes from 800% to 1620%.

                              Acrid: Epidemic spreads up to 4 enemies, and anyone that deals damage to the infected enemies will get healed.

                                Magnetized Currency [Tier 3] (Passive)
                                "Let the Cash Fly!" -- Icon is a Golden Magnet with sparks coming from the tips.
                                --
                                Item Log -- Allows collected money to be pulled at high speed, dealing 16% of the collected coin as damage when passing though enemies.
                                --
                                This doesn't increase the speed of the coins coming to you. The item's stack bonus is half of the previous amount, so it would go like, 16% > 24% > 28% > 30% > etc. down to max +1% every additional stack.
                                So say you kill some enemies, and you get money that goes flying all over the place, though there is still enemies in the middle of it; about 5,000 in coins is there in total. When the money passes though enemies... then you're dealing about 800 damage to the whole group. Want more damage? Get more coin to fly; cause massive coin explosions!



                                Blessed Shoulder Guard [Tier 4] (Passive)
                                "Sacred Protection of the Ancients..."
                                --
                                Item Log -- Summons a Lemurian bodyguard. Revives every 60 seconds.
                                --
                                Works exactly like the Imp Overlord's Tentacle, but instead spawns a Lemurian to assist with you in battle.
                                Has a low chance to be picked up off of Elder Lemurian.
                                (This would imply it's a "boss unique" in a way, but I couldn't figure out where else it could match to, in terms of a lower tier or enemy. As for warping to your location when out of reach, it's just using the "spawn" animation to catch up closer to you.)

                                >> I know it says not to mimic similar items already in-game, but I'd really like to get more items that bring out friendly assists. <<

                                  Those two suggestions are awesome. I would love to have a whole scala of items that gives you familiars. I can only imagine the joy of having a posse of Lemurians, Imps, perhaps something like those protector drones from the Temple of the Elders, etc..


                                  Double Trouble [Tier 3]
                                  • Every 60 seconds, spawns a familiar clone of yourself that attacks enemies using all the abilities you have too. The familiar deals 30% of your own damage and has 80%-20% of your health, depending on your own max health and current difficulty.
                                  • Limits to one familiar at one pick-up.
                                  Stack Behaviour:
                                  • Every second pick-up decreases the cooldown of the spawn by one second.
                                  • Every other pick-up increases the number of familiars available. If the cooldown resets and one familiar is still alive, another spawns.

                                    While we're on the topic of familiars:

                                    Rocket Fall (Active)
                                    Gotta kill 'em all!
                                    Upon using the item, a relatively small rocket (5x5) will drop from the sky.

                                    It will land on the lowest-health enemy's initial standing point. The range for the enemy detection is on view. The rocket takes 0.5 seconds to reach to the destination.

                                    If it reaches its target point, it will deal a measily 5% damage to enemies around it. The explosion range is 30 x 30.

                                    However, if it's 0.1 seconds away from the target point, and there's an enemy at 10% or lower health within the explosion range, it will home into said enemy, zap it into the rocket, and home in towards you.

                                    If there are several enemies with below 10% health, the rocket will capture the enemy with the lowest health. If there are several enemies with the exact same health, and they have the lowest health, the rocket will randomly select an enemy.

                                    When you activate the item, again, it will zap out the captured enemy (lets refer it as a familiar), and it will have full health. The familiar will gain the following stat bonuses:

                                    Health Boost: +(100 * (1 + (Your Level / 8))%
                                    Damage Boost: +(10 * (1 + (Your Maximum Health / 200))%
                                    Move Speed Boost: +(1 + (Your Current Health / 50))%

                                    The stat bonuses will not be adjusted accordingly once you release a familiar.

                                    Example: You're at Level 9, you capture an enemy, and release it. The first familiar will have a 212.5% health boost. You capture another enemy and keep it until you level up. After reaching to Level 10, then releasing it, the second familiar will have a 225% health boost, while the first familiar's health boost is still 212.5%. Then you capture another enemy, and release it, only to reach to Level 11 after doing so. The third familiar will also have a 225% health boost, and not 237.5%.

                                    It will follow wherever you go, and if it's out of your view for 2 seconds, it will warp back to you. While the familiar stands still (not attacking and such), it will heal 1% health per second.

                                    If the familiar sees an enemy (has a 125x50 range), it will start attacking the enemy. The familiar still warps back to you when it's out of your view.

                                    You can have up to 6 familiars; if you send out another familiar, the first familiar will die. For each familiar you have, the cooldown increases by 30 seconds.

                                    The cooldown will start either when the rocket explodes, or when you send out the captured enemy. It will not start the cooldown upon capturing an enemy.

                                    If you do switch the Rocket Fall with another item while having a captured enemy, that enemy will be erased.

                                    Cooldown: (60 + (Familiars * 30)) Seconds
                                    Maximum Cooldown: 240 Seconds

                                      Relinquish Destiny [Tier 2]
                                      After taking a hit, there's a 25% chance you will warp to another earth-bound location on-screen. You are invulnerable for 0.3 seconds after the warp.

                                          Berserk's Power (Active)
                                          Go into an uncontrollable, powerful rage upon use.
                                          When using the item, you gain the following stat bonuses:

                                          Damage Boost: +200%
                                          Move Speed Boost: +100%

                                          However, while this item is active, your character will have a dark-red tint, and be controlled by an aggressive AI. It will chase down and attack the first enemy it sees, trying to murder it, and then move onto the next closest enemy. If there are no enemies on view, it will stand still. It can jump, but it can't climb ropes and such.

                                          The attacks it uses is somewhat random; however, it'll use the attack with the longest range, first, if the enemy is within that range. Then if the enemy goes closer, it will choose between the longest and second-longest attack, and so on, and so forth. If it has any speed-boosting abilities, it will attempt to use it whenever it can to get into range, and even if the enemy is already in range, the speed-boosting ability is used, first.

                                          Example: HAN-D with 2 DRONES uses Berserk's Power. A Rock Golem is just barely on view, so HAN-D starts chasing after it, immediately activating OVERCLOCK. The character uses up the 2 DRONES as it runs toward the Rock Golem, and once it goes into the FORCED-REASSEMBLY's range, the attack is used. Then once it goes to point-blank range, HAN-D will use HURT, DRONE (if it somehow killed another enemy in the process of killing the Rock Golem), or FORCED-REASSEMBLY. Because the AI doesn't think to use OVERCLOCK for the attack speed and stun benefits, it's never used.

                                          The stat bonuses, the dark-red tint, and the AI-controlling goes away when the duration ends (as you may know).

                                          Beating Embryo Effect: Damage Boost and Move Speed Boost are doubled (+400% and +200%, respectively).

                                          Duration: 20 Seconds
                                          Cooldown: 45 Seconds


                                          I was inspired to make this from the unused Anger's Power badge from Paper Mario:

                                          Of course, this is pretty much an RPG's Berserk status, but I am trying to look up Paper Mario badges for ideas. Feel free to try to do some of them!
