The S.I.D. D.C. is a name of the suggestion. The weapon itself is called the Refractor, and it is a bomb.
This bomb is a devious little fritter. Please read the way the bomb's attack progresses below:
1. You equip the bomb.
2. You charge it. The charge finishes.
3. You put it down.
4. The white ring aura starts spreading to the outer white ring.
5. The white ring aura touches the outer ring. It blows up.
6. When the bomb blows up, it sends these white spots beneath all the enemies that were inside the bomb's white ring aura.
7. The white spots appear under the enemies for about 1 second.
8. After one second the white spots blow up.
Suggestion #2: Everything is the same except the large white ring aura is much smaller. Instead what happens is there is a small 1 tile white ring aura like the OLD shard bomb. When the small 1 tile white ring aura touches the outer white ring, read carefully. When the bomb blows up after the 1 tile white ring charge is done, white spots appear underneath enemies around a wide area around the bomb. How big is the wide area around the bomb? About two times the size of the mist bomb area. This makes it so you can quickly place numerous Refractors down at a speedy rate unlike the top suggestion.
White spots will SLOW enemies down!
Please remember that when the white spots appear for 1 second, you can dodge them. But, if you don't escape the white spots in time, you'll get hurt by the exploding white spots.
Basically, the bomb 'Refractor' is a bomb that depends on timing... If the enemy stays in the white spot too long (more than one second), they'll be hurt.
Q&A:
- How big is the white ring radius?
The 5* Refractor is two times larger than 5* mist bombs. All the star versions of the Refractor have 2x white ring size as all the star versions of mist bombs. As the star number is higher... the size of the white ring for the Refractor gets bigger...
-How big is the initial bomb explosion?
Same as the white spots. 3x3 tiles.
- Do the white spots need to be white?
No, depending on the Refractor type the color will be different.
-How strong?
5* Refractor has the same damage as 4* Master Blast Bomb
-Does the initial explosion cause damage?
Yes it does.
-How big are the white spots?
3x3 or 9 tiles. The middle tile is where the enemy is with 8 tiles around the middle tile.
I think this suggestion is really interesting to see in Spiral Knights. What do you think? Please comment below!
this reminds me of seraphynx second attack "Heart Attack". It marks the enemies and later one the effect happens. I like the idea, but have you thought about how this will work against monsters?
also does the initial explosion cause any damage?
