I was wondering how letting pets into lockdown would change pvp gameplay.
The only overly OP move would Mask's cloak, but that could be easily fixed by adding a Recon alert bar.
Swordfighting would get really interesting...
What do you think?

Derpuraptor strikes back
Since you can shield while using the cloak, you can use the booster using the cloak. This would be overly over powered... Even for OOO's standards.

Nice name.
Very original indeed.

In the testing server, I was able to play with Pets in Lockdown and I have to say flat-out: No.

Things that would be made possible through sprite abilities:
- Activating Flame Barrier and dealing damage by grazing up against opponents. Would be severely OP for strikers and pretty menacing on guardians.
- Deadly Cloak leaves no recon mark and would probably allow a Gran Faust user to literally one-shot anything below a dual-penta.
- Hexing Haze guarantees damage to anything within a very large radius. Even though the damage is delayed, it's still guaranteed.
- Angelic Aura would let one walk through a haze bomb or vortex entirely without flinching.
I can think of a lot of other tactics using sprites, and in my head they seem like they'd be interesting, but I think the sprite abilities would need to be specifically reworked for the purposes of LD.

It would be adding unbalance to an already unbalanced game.
So yea, it's a good idea.

What Zeddy said
Im thinking of the Hex, as all you need to do is striker boost around the whole arena with that on, and everyone loses half their hp. So no. It might be interesting, but no.

So, what your saying is that I could be a striker, but use my mask's cloak and become an invisible striker? Doesnt seem over powered at all...

Yo dawg!
We heard you like to cloak, so we put a Maskeraith on your Recon so you can cloak while you cloak.

Deadly cloak + recon mark could be actually a great idea.
Unavoidable death.... every 40 seconds.

I'm completely honestly rather interested in this. It would be fun, I bet! Problem is, the following abilities would be rather useless:
- Drakon
- Nothing, really
- Seraphynx
- Ray of Light (Disintegration Ray could be a bit useful if you're fighting someone who does not react in time)
- Heart Attack
- Maskeraith
- Caustic Quills ('cause invinciframes; AoA might help)
I'd be kinda disappointed because Sir-Cuddleton the Seraphynx would be pretty bad in LD in comparison to other sprites. At least the aura would be pretty powerful.
Also, Hmmnm, kindly move this to The Coliseum. Thanks :3
Well, I think that since pets are stronger than we are, we'd just kind of... use them to fight for us.
