McSocialisM Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 So, since the new shadow drones arrived, the community seems to collectively kind of think "Eh?". While Auto-Grabber seems fun and useful, Exploiterator seems kind of underwhelming and boring. Here's a few ideas that could make the shadow affinity both more useful and interesting: Chassis Changes: - You can access the Spatializer slots on a backup chassis from the outside - Refrigerant Circuit will slow down spoilage by 50% while the chassis is inactive, 100% with both equipped - Thermal Circuit will speed up spoilage by 200% while the chassis is inactive, 500% with both equipped Fuel Changes: - You can no longer circuit Nightmare Fuel or Pure Horror into yourself, instead, you can only equip the Shadow Atrium and Possessed Shadow Atrium - Nightmare Fuel can be consumed and give you temporary full charge for 2 minutes - Consuming Pure Horror will now give 2 minutes of full charge, alongside the maximum stacking planar damage from the Shadow Reaper / Shadow Maul at all times, as well as max Gloomerang damage, no matter the range Drone Changes: - Make the drones smaller to combat visual clutter - You get 5 total drones of any kind at all times with the basic Atrium equipped, while the Possessed Atrium unlocks new abilities for your drones - The Auto-Grabber remains the same but when used with the Possessed Atrium, it can now automatically store collected items into either your own Spatializer slot, or one of your backup chassis, as long as you have 1 of a given resource in there (like W.O.B.O.T.) - The Exploiterator now always remains glued to your character and will have an AoE effect around you at all times instead of having to lock onto an enemy (with the exception of you using a ranged attack, then it will apply the debuff in the same area around your target). The vex effect will be 5% per drone - With the Possessed Atrium, the Exploiterator will now deal 20 damage per drone every minute to a single enemy in the same range as Auto-Grabbers, even off-screen while in a backup chassis With these changes, you will have a few more options - consuming Pure Horror during lategame is a very viable damage buff at all times, the Exploiterator is less janky and now enables you to make automatic farms and killing certain bosses off-screen, like an improved Anenemy for lategame. And thanks to the Refrigerant and Thermal Circuit changes, you can create food farms that work automatically to collect meat that will never spoil, even inside a Spatializer slot, or Rot farms for Redigestion Circuit spam. Just my 2 Cents! 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171289-a-few-ideas-to-make-wxs-shadow-side-more-interesting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
