Using the dumbbells while moving slows the meter

[HowlVoid]

Wolfgang should be able to use his dumbbells while moving but they do not increase the meter (only stopping increases the meter). Instead the different tiers of dumbbells all affects the meter drain differently, but still drain durability.

Basic dumbbell: 30% slower depletion rate

Gold dumbbell:  60% slower depletion rate

Gembell: 90% (slower) depletion rate or completely halted

This will help Wolfgang maintain any meter build up until the player has reached their destination or help maintain it during battle without breaking the flow of battle. 

Rather than having to make periodic stops to fill the meter in short bursts, the player can use up the durability of the dumbbells to prolong and maintain a single long workout session. This will also amplify the efficiency and power of a good network of gyms the player has built over time.

I agree but I think they should consider making “Weight” & “Might” their very own unique game mechanics for Wolfgang-

The TL:DR-

Turn Weighted items into a “Mighty Meter Management” basically making them like Garland/Tophat/Tam is to Sanity. The Heavier the Item: the less his Might drains.

The Longer Version of the TL:DR-

Puny Wolfgang carrying a Small weight item won’t drop in might because what he is holding is heavy, However… Average size Wolfgang holding a small weight item WILL drop in might but with slight decrease then without (because it’s no longer as heavy)

Apply this logic to Dumbells & items you can place on a Gym.

Also will be nice if they add different animations for things he is struggling to carry, things he can moderately carry but still needs to put in effort, & things he can carry with ease.

Dumbells- For Puny a Gold Dumbell is Heavy, for Average it isn’t, a Gembell is Heavy for Average, for Mighty NONE of them are heavy.

(just like the 3 different weight sizes we see him lift in his animated short)

Dumbells can’t completely prevent Might drain.. but carrying a heavy item on your back (as it is now) Will.

I don’t think carrying around a stone Dumbell as Average or Mighty Wolfgang should prevent Mighty drain.. it’s simply only heavy for Puny Wolf.
Etc etc..

A character with 3 different size sprites should handle Weight differently.
