Hi Three Rings! I was thinking about a new set for SK!
I was thinking of a Vine-coated sword, it would deal Elemental, yet it would not deal a particular Element, unless you were planning to create a Nature Element, an Element I highly support*. Well, anyway, it would be called the Tangled Blade, it would look like the Calibur, it's charge attack would release a line of vines, (If Nature status were made, it would inflict the status).

And the armour would have vines entangling all around it.
The armour would look like the Cobalt armour. The only difference would be the vines entangling it, it would look a bit darker, and the name, the Tangled Helm/Breastplate.

The shield however, it would be the Defender, with vines here and there.

There would also be a Tangled Aura, which makes vines sprout up behind you, lasting about 2 seconds, before they disappear.

I have not yet decided upon a gun, but I might think about it.

*I would VERY much like a Nature Element... The Troika would fit it! If you were to make it, I would say the Nature Element would make vines entangle the enemy Nature status was inflicted on, and the vines stop that monster from moving, (for the period of time Nature is inflicted) and vines every now and then hit the monster, damaging it while the monster is stuck.

Nature

A nature armor sounds cool with vine aura, though everything else sounds not cool. The vine status sounds like the ice status. I would rather the vine status sucks the enemies health at a constant pace lile the fire status, but the enemy would gain a vasg amount of defensive value. So it's basicLly like the fire and poison mix together, but poison would have the opposite effect of boosting armor instead of reducing it. The vine status is for more of a definite health reduce than a status to help statistically in battle.

The armor visual descriptions with the weapon visual descriptions seems not to my style. Precisely because it's not new. It feels too much like a reskin and not something worth adding into the game. So if your going to keep it the way you describe, then i can't support you.

Well that's all i have to comment on. Hope you like my suggestions.

That is true.

I suppose you are correct. What if the nature status were like an extra partner! The Nature status could make the Monsters fight for you... Although, it would have a MUCH shorter lasting time than the other status effects. Although, that still sounds WAY to O.P..... And how would it work if the MONSTERS hit YOU with the Nature status? By the way, what about the sword? It could be just normal elemental, like I already said... Do you have other suggestions for the Nature status? I still think it is a pretty cool idea............ And yes, I do like your suggestions!! Thank you, I wasn't fully expecting any comments!!

I am editing this comment to say... Never mind. The Nature status being like an extra partner would be sort of lame...

Nature status

How would being covered in vines make you attack your allies? Also, I don't think it would be OP unless a powerful enemy like a Trojan was inflicted, so those should just be made immune to it (it also doesn't need to have reduced time - Also, most status effects already last for only a few seconds, so reducing it a lot would just make it useless instead of balancing it). For when it's inflicted on the player - It could just make it possible for attacks from that player damage allies. (Or just make it like the sleep status - Only players can inflict it, not enemies.)

I also don't think the Troika should get the nature status/element if it's added. Only the first troika would fit it, but all the improvements wouldn't, and it doesn't seem good for it to lose that when it's made into a higher star level.

....hmmm....

We kind of have those costumes, albeit they are just reskins with some reworked helm models.

As for the weapon I could see it as a reskin of the Glacius, it would also inflict a reskinned status. It would still do freeze except that the model for ice would be different.

The shield could be another sidegrade of the Defender line much like the Heater shield but would instead defend against Poison and elemental.

The armor could be a set obtainable in game that is another sidegrade to the cobalt line. Since it would be only 5 stars it would work if it had similar values to the Almirian Crusader set. This new set would have normal/elemental resist, Poison status resist, and a Fire penalty (it's a plant duh).

The gun could be an Elemental/poison Alchemer with damage comparable to the other status alchemers.

Hmm... Taking all this in.......

Well, Vanaduke-Destroyer, I think it would be better if you could attack friends than not being inflicted at all... Maybe the monsters would be the same! They still aim for you, but it would be like you are neutral! The only problem with it though is, what if you are going solo? Nature status inflicted on you would be pointless. I could totally see it being a status caused by Lumbers, though!!! But you are correct. How would vines make you suddenly attack your partners?! And Holy-Nightmare, I was thinking it would be it's own set, but I'll think on it... Thank you so much for the comments! Your ideas are GREATLY appreciated!!

But...

Does anyone have any more ideas for the weapon/armour set?

I am editing to say: Sorry, I forgot to click edit instead.

There is another thread on the matter of Nature. (See: Water vs. Nature)
