skilltree WX87 Skilltree ideas

[marshyds]

=- WX87 skilltree! -=

The robot uprising will happen soon! Be prepared!

Starter: Energy efficient - Wx charges his battery 25% faster

 

- Branch 1: Elemental liveleak -

The basic circuits.

1. Loose wires - With the Electrification circuit equipped, a WX87 below 40% (?) health will deal electric damage when hitting opponents.

1 x circuit: x1,25 dmg, x1,50 wet opponent dmg.
2x circuit: x1,5 dmg, x1,75 wet opponent dmg
3x circuit: x1,70 dmg, x1,90 wet dmg.
(Sort of a glass cannon idea similar to Wanda, might be op.)

2. Heat efficient - With the refridgerant circuit equipped, WX87 will convert a little heat into energy, slightly increasing his speed.

1x circuit: 8% increased speed during summer temperatures.
2x circuit: 12% increased speed during summer temperatures.
(People love speed, so giving these already good circuits more use would be cool i think?)

3. Mega evaporation - If WX87 has a thermal circuit equipped, he will have minor wetness protection

1x circuit - 20% wetness protection
2x circuit - 30% wetness protection

(Idk i needed a use for the hot and cold counterparts)

 

- Branch 2: Stats galore! -

The even more basic circuits.

4. Perception V - With the MK II Speed circuit, WX87 will attack faster.

1x circuit: 15% faster attack speed
2x circuit: 22,5% faster attack speed
3x 27,5% faster attack speed 

(Might change up kiting patterns)

3. Iron guts - With the MK II gastro circuit, WX87 will process food better and retain food buffs for longer (Volt goat jelly, spices, jellybeans, ect.) 

1x circuit: 50% longer
2x circuit: 75% longer
3x circuit: 100% longer

2. Hardier - With the MK II hardy circuit, WX87 gains a planar defense boost.

1x circuit: 5 defense
2x circuit: 10 defense
3x circuit: 15 defense

1. Mental robotics - With the MK II processing circuit, WX87 will be able to see farther.

1x circuit: x1,25 viewing range
2x circuit: x1,5 viewing range
3x circuit: x1,75 viewing range

(This can be adjusted however you want)

 

- Branch 3: Even less humanity -

Pilot a lifeless robot!

1. Michael - Wx can craft a moving mech with a 9 inventory storage space, 15% movement speed, a light and a base 80 dmg. Runs on a gem battery.

- Mech recipe -

[Thulecite] x 5
[Red and blue gem] x 1 (Mech is fully charged when crafted)
[Frazzled wires] x 5
[Gears] x 5

Battery lasts 25 minutes, gems refuel it for 50%.

2. Advancements - Wx87 can craft an addon that adds 3 circuit slots. Battery will however drain faster.

- Circuit upgrade recipe - 

[Gears] x 3
[Red gem] x 1
[Blue gem] x 1
[Purple gem] x 1

3. Advancementser - Another upgrade that adds 3 circuit slots for a total of 6.

- Circuit upgrade recipe -

[Frazzled wires] x 3
[Green gem] x 1
[Yellow gem] x 1
[Orange gem] x 1

4. Resource scavenger - A pickaxe and axe upgrade that is 1,5x as efficient, drains more battery when used.

- Pick/axe upgrade recipe -

[Thulecite pick-axe] x 1
[Thulecite] x 5
[Gears] x 5

 

- Branch 4: Fight the demons! -

VIOLENCE!

1. Worldview: expand - With a optoelectronic circuit, WX87 will be able to see enemy hit radiuses, attack timers and their health
 (accounting for vanilla players)

2. Encore - With a chorus circut, WX87 will deal more damage to shadow alligned creatures.

1x circuit: 15% more dmg
2x circuit: 25% more dmg

3. Burning bright - With an illumination circuit, WX87 will deal more damage to lunar alligned creatures.

1x circuit: 15% dmg increase
2x circuit: 25% dmg increase

 

- Branch 5: Robot army! -

Why have an army of flesh when you have stainless steel?

1. Knights of the roundtable - WX87 has a maximum ammount of 4 robots he can build. These robots are friendly and attack anything WX87 does.

- Knight recipe -

[Gears] x 2
[Marble] x 2

1. Battering ram - WX87 can craft rooks, which take up 2 slots.

- Rook recipe -

[Gears] x 4
[Marble] x 4

3. Steady shot - WX87 can craft a bishop, which takes up 4 slots.

- Bishop recipe -

[Purple gem] x 1
[Gears] x 4
[Marble] x 4

 

- Lunar affinities -

Despite your differences, the cryptic founder has rewarded your compliance with upgrades! 

Option 1.

1. Moon power - During full moons, WX87 will get a speed buff.

2. Titanium alloy - WX87's circuits no longer break.

Option 2. 

1. Old rules - WX87 can eat 5 gears to increase all his stats by 50, BUT it will deterioate if he is damaged.

2. Play well - Wx87 gets 2 more circuit slots, which function identically to 3rd slot or 2nd slot circuits.

 

=- MY THOUGHTS -=

I recently started playing WX87, which means i am legally obligated to make a skilltree for them.

Who is this "WX87"? I'm only familiar with the survivor designated as "WX-78". Jokes aside, I like your creativity with these ideas. My favorite suggestion of yours would be the loose wires trait. I don't see the need for the damage to scale with multiple circuits used though. I think it should just match the existing elictric multiplier in the game. If there were a benefit of stacking circuits, it could be every 3rd attack/2nd attack/every attack gets the electric modification provided the damage taken threshold is met.

I'm not sure how necessary the robot army tree is since any character can already repair broken clockworks in the ruins to get mech chess piece followers.

Overall, I think you have some good ideas.

imo it could be good.

the robots would have half health and a marble coating to make em white.

if you have like 40 gears and 40 marble you could spam it once your robots die

rooks could be used to chop wood if you get a spider and punch it in a field of trees or something.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you.

Here  my take on on the alinements for him

Shadow:

1.You gain the wx equivalent of the first stage of a shadow clockwork after eating 1 pure horror, jimmy Will look like a Wx triumphant skin version of himself , mobs scanned by bio scanilizers will be paralyzed by fear while in the process of scanning

2. You gain the wx equivalent of the second stage of a shadow clockwork after eating  2 pure horror in stage 1, you can give jimmy  the drone mastery circuit it turns red and sticks out of  his head like a crown his entity name is now called master drone and the quotes attached to all the other bio scanalizers would be changed to “one of jimmy’s copies” and the copies  will do the scanning similar to shadow servant’s working

 3. You gain the wx equivalent of the third stage of a shadow clockwork after eating 3 pure horror in stage 2 , Jimmy can fight in a damageable mech as well as fists he can also fight with a  red laser

 

Lunar:

1.Wagstaff upgrade your hardware first stage after eating 1 pure brilliance, jimmy Will look like a Wx moonbound skin version of himself , mobs scanned by bio scanilizers will be paralyzed by REM while in the process of scanning

2.  Wagstaff upgrade your hardware second stage  after eating  2 pure brilliance in stage 1, you can give jimmy  the drone mastery circuit it turns white and sticks out of  his head like a crown his entity name is now called master drone and the quotes attached to all the other bio scanalizers would be changed to “one of jimmy’s copies” and the copies  will do the scanning similar to shadow servant’s working

 3. Wagstaff upgrade your hardware third stage after eating 3 pure brilliance in stage 2 ,Jimmy can fight in a damageable mech as well as fists he can also fight with a  white laser 

(Same as shadow)

(kinda half baked but you get the idea suggestions please )

Unfortunately i don't think WX87 would have shadow affinities, since wagstaff literally built him.

I think jimmy wouldn't fit as a damage dealer because he is literally invincible, his point is to get data and unlock recipes

What if I add at the the cost of time active to the end of it

What if the mech was Jimmy? It would be funny for Jimmy to become a giant murdering machine.

 

Jimmy needs more love. Kinda casted to the side to be only used as a scanner.

Just added that to the alignments I made
