[walter] A Suggestion on Mixing the perks of Walter's Different Rounds using the Thulecite Slingshot Frame

[dish-order man]

Hey guys,

It's been a while since I last played DST, but the recent beta has drawn me back to the Constant since I'm a Walter fan. Honestly, this new Walter skillset addresses some of his quality-of-life and combat issues. However, as Jason mentioned,

There is room for some of these skills to improve with feedback for sure. They are probably tuned a little low. The reason for that is Wendy is quite strong already. Winona for example got a lot of crazy stuff cause she wasn't a strong character to begin with. That should be kept in mind for all skill trees really. 

some characters like Winona of course including Walter deserved more perks to make up for his previous "weakness."

I don’t have much to say about Walter's other items or perks, but I do think the Thulecite Slingshot Frame deserves more modified.

U see, we now have this item that gives the slingshot the ability to fire two types of rounds simultaneously, but hey, listen—why not turn it into an ammo mixer? Look, we currently have up to 17 types of rounds.

Spoiler

How about we try combining them in pairs to create more powerful bullets (a little alchemy taught by Wilson maybe)? I think this modify of  Thulecite Slingshot Frame would be more similar to the WX's circuit board and those combination tools like smasher、shoevel (which Designed based on my suggestion)  , which offering the potential for positive interactions between different types of rounds.

 

What I suggested:
Change the perks of the Thulecite Slingshot Frame to make it a platform for combine different rounds. It will follow these principles:

1. When two types of rounds are equipped into the slingshot, the power of the projectile will be set to the higher power of the two rounds. The perks of the projectile will combine the perks of both rounds. Then a single shot will consume both types of rounds in the slingshot simultaneously. Some example:

example 1:

Spoiler

I combined the cursed rounds and stinger rounds together. Now when the slingshot hits the target, it will deal 51 damage to the main target, and 17 damage to the nearby secondary targets, and for each hit target, there will be a chance to summon a shadow tentacle.

example 2:

Spoiler

I combined shockscrap rounds and moon glass rounds. When the bullet hits the target, it will deal 51 lightning damage to the main target and 34 lightning damage as AOE to nearby targets.

example 3:

Spoiler

I combined sticky rounds and marbles. When the bullet hits the target, it will deal 51 damage and apply a slowing effect to the target.

 

I believe that the combination of the 17 different types of rounds will have a very positive impact on Walter's gameplay. It can encourage players to make their own strategic choices based on different environmental needs.

2.  Since this combination allows certain powerful rounds to generate destructive power, some restrictions could be applied. For example, I think a very good idea would be:

Consider the three rounds in the first row of this image as weapons of the Moon rounds, and the four rounds in the second row as weapons of the Shadow rounds. When they are simultaneously equipped in the slingshot and used, a devastating damage would be carried on the slingshot because of the magical conflict generated. The slingshot will automatically explode after 5 shots as a result, causing all raw materials inside to disappear. Of course, before it explodes, the character should issue a warning dialogue.

 

Walter, as one of the least popular character in DST, i think he deserves more attention. I consider this modify of the Thulecite Slingshot Frame could greatly enhance Walter's overall playability. I hope the developers consider my suggestion seriously please. 

Sorry man but i think u need to see this. @V2C

Good idea! It's a Wendy day that few people care about Walter.

Feels like it's a lot work to do, and a big part of these combinations won't make that much since compare to other.

This reminds me when I was a kid, one of my playmate can shoot multibe glass marbles at once with a sling shoot, it's cool, maybe double or trible fire (with same or diffrent type of ammo) is more eazy to achieve and understand.
