A design of Wigfrid's skill tree, becoming a stronger Valkyrie

[CCCR33]

         I have put forward some ideas and suggestions about the Wigfrid skill tree before, but they are scattered, so this time I will analyze various characteristics of Wigfrid to make a complete design.

The main design ideas come from
DST update animation
Wigfrid game performance
Wigfrid is a combat character
Skill tree design for other characters
Some of my understanding

        As a combat character, Wigfrid is a perfect warrior. She has a 25% attack bonus, 25% damage reduction, combat recovery health and spirit, and can make good equipment. After remaking, Wigfrid has inspiration and battle songs, but it does not fundamentally change the original combat style，it is a supplement to combat ability,

1 Battle spear

        In various animations, Wigfrid is a character who often uses spears. In the game, Wigfrid is referred to as a comrade, but in fact, the damage of combat spear is very low, only 42.5. Unlike in animations, in the early stages of the game, ham bat can easily replace combat spear because low damage usually does not result in more combat spear being used, which is a pity.

      

       Adding skills related to spears not only allows Wigfrid's equipment to play a greater role, but also adapts to changes in the character's background. My suggestion is to allow Wigfrid to make more kinds of spears and increase the attack bonus when using them, like Marble Spear,Thulecite Spear, Dreadstone Spear, and Brightshade Spear.

        In the animation, Wigfrid imagines throwing a spear to kill a snake. One of my ideas is that Wigfrid can right-click on the screen to throw a spear (or ride a cow) and interrupt enemy attacks.

2 Inspiration and Battle Songs

          Once Wigfrid was an actress, now she has become a warrior.
          Wigfrid's inspiration is a unique mechanism for updating, used to sing battle songs to play different roles, but it is generally difficult to play a role in non boss battles. Many times, inspiration is not enough to sing battle songs to play a role, just like in a battle with a cow, when you are about to kill a cow before you can just sing. On the way to fight another cow, inspiration has declined, and in battles with many spiders and bees, if you stop singing, Will be in a daze and attacked.

             Some battle songs did not have a very good effect, Fireproof Falsetto is of no use at all, The effect of Weaponized Warble is of little concern, The Rude Interlude and Startling Soliloquy effects are not very effective, and there are few opportunities to play them well. In the new version and later stages of the game, these battle songs are difficult to play a combat role.

              To enable better acquisition and existence of inspiration for better use, battle songs rely on inspiration . Improve inspiration and war songs, Wigfrid can use various buffs more frequently

             My idea, for example, is to halve the speed of inspiration decrease, increase 1 inspiration per attack, convert the excess health recovery effect into inspiration, and retain a small portion of inspiration after leaving the battle. For battle songs, it is necessary to enhance the effects, such as increasing movement speed, reducing enemy defense (or increasing self damage), extending the duration, and whether battle songs can be stacked and effective,and sing faster

3 Affinity
            Wilson received+10% damage and 10% defense bonus, Wolfgang received 25 planar damage and 30% damage bonus, and Wigfrid had 25% overall damage reduction. She also needed to compensate for attacks, such as 5 planar damage and 20% damage bonus

4 A shield idea

            In the animation, Wigfrid owns shields and a mural with shields, which shows that Wigfrid can use shields, and perhaps she can also make shields. Now I have designed a shield mechanism

*Unlock and create a shield. The shield has 35 attack power, 500 durability, and 80% defense
*Shield can link other weapons, just like a sea fishing rod（A shield is also a weapon that can be used independently，like Shield of Terror）

                  Forgive me for not adjusting the color

*After the shield is linked to other weapons, the normal attack is the attack of the linked weapon, and every third attack is replaced with a joint attack of the weapon and shield, causing fan-shaped AOE damage
*Shield can consume inspiration, right click on the screen to block damage once
After successfully blocking the shield, the next attack will deal 1.5 times the damage of a critical strike (priority effect). If it is a spear, it will become a stab attack

5 Combat multiple enemies and have more defensive capabilities
              Will Wigfrid be afraid of fighting multiple enemies? I think in terms of her personality, she may be more ambitious, which is an advanced test for her. Wigfrid is a person who is not easy to retreat 
              Wigfrid has a higher ability to adapt to harsh situations, and I designed this skill

When Wigfrid faces more than 3 enemies, gains 5% damage reduction
When Wigfrid faces more than 5 enemies, gains 10% damage reduction
When Wigfrid faces more than 7 enemies, gains 15% damage reduction
The more enemies around Wigfrid, the shorter the time her movements are interrupted

6 Other ideas

Jumping attack. In the imagination of Wigfrid in the animation, the Valkyrie has strong mobility and jumping ability
Faster movement speed, Wigfrid is relatively thin and has a small appetite, so having a faster movement speed may be in line with the setting
Sprint and stun enemies, perhaps a combination of shield and spear skills
Use a spear and charge while riding a cow
More battle songs, such as being able to consume health and increase attacks
Can eat butterfly wings, honey, and various fruits directly
Wigfrid's ship will be damaged more slowly
Other special clothing and equipment, such as wings, can fly at low altitudes when moving at high speeds

 

A complete skill tree

Spear Branch
I      Create more spears and use them to increase damage by 10%
II     Using a spear increases damage by 20%
III    Using a spear increases damage by 30%
IV    Breakthrough skill: Throw a spear, which can interrupt enemy attacks (can be thrown by riding a cow)

Inspiration Branch
I       Inspiration descent speed halved
II      Gain 1 additional inspiration per attack
III     Excessive health recovery converted into inspiration
IV     Breakthrough Skill: Retain up to 10 inspirations after exiting the battle

Battle Songs Branch
I       Create more battle songs, enhance the effect of battle songs, or repeat battle songs to take effect
II      Singing battle songs for shorter periods of time
III     Extension of the effective time of the battle songs
IV     Breakthrough Skill: Use battle song to increase movement speed by 10%

Shield Branch
I        Unlock and create a shield, shield can link other weapons, just like a fishing rod（A shield is also a weapon that can be used                independently，like Shield of Terror）
II        After the shield is linked to other weapons, the normal attack is the attack of the linked weapon, and every third attack is                    replaced with a joint attack of the weapon and shield, causing fan-shaped AOE damage
III       Shield can consume inspiration, right click on the screen to block damage once
IV      Breakthrough Skill: After successfully blocking the shield, the next attack will deal 1.5 times the damage of a critical strike (priority effect). If it is a spear, it will become a stab attack

Courage Branch
I        When Wigfrid faces more than 3 enemies, gains 5% damage reduction
II       When Wigfrid faces more than 5 enemies, gains 10% damage reduction
III      When Wigfrid faces more than 7 enemies, gains 15% damage reduction
IV      The more enemies around Wigfrid, the shorter the time her movements are interrupted

Affinity Branch
I        Planar damage+5
II       10% damage bonus
III      20% damage bonus

          This skill tree design, if you don't like new changes, you can choose Inspiration+Battle Songs+Courage Branch, if you want to experience a new combat mode, you can choose Shield +Inspiration +Spear/ Battle Songs Branch, which combines tradition and innovation

         Finally, there is one other suggestion. Wigfrid's hairstyle is not very consistent with the one in the animation. I hope to have a set of skin with a braid hairstyle that opens from the middle of the hair, just like in the animation

 

If you have more ideas, welcome to exchange
