I had already been wondering if a Striker shield that allows you to dash like in Lockdown could ever work in PvE...
(main game)
Now that the Metal Sonic suit is out and people are sad they can't use the costume to dash around in Lockdown (can't use costumes there),
I figure Three Rings/Sega have strong reason to consider the Striker dash/shield for PvE.
Dash just like Lockdown
CANNOT SHIELD BLOCK
-Health penalty remains
(I'm uncertain whether to keep the ASI and Damage boosts, and bomb charge penalty aspect.)
---------------------------------------------
That is my suggestion. The exact specifics, such as HOW you get it (rare drop? boss tokens? shadow lair?) and what * quality / Heart penalty are all up for debate. I figure either it starts as 3* and upgrades to 5* or it exists only as some 5* boss reward.
Also, if it's 3*-5* naturally the amount you can dash would increase, probably with 5* being the full LD equivalent, 3-4* being less.
If the ASI and Damage boosts were included, I'd say only as 4* and 5* versions. Such as the 4* has Low boosts and the 5* has Medium. Anything like a 3* version would not have the ASI and damage.
Please make this thread about whether the concept could ever be balanced for PvE, details can be hashed out separately by OOO.
lag and dash into fire
dash into gun puppy spray
dash into an attack
dash into spikes
dash race metagame
dashing through the snow
dashing in shadow lairs, get kicked for dying
for the sacrifice of BLOCKING, they should at least humor these silly people with an asi and dmg increase
