Ideas for Aura ability for Chaos Kodo beast

[Flame_Phoenix]

Hi guys. I am making a complete race for Chaos Orcs and all units must have abilities (custom abilities) that can make ladder players interested. I am now remaking many things of the race and balancing it as well. So, I must remake Kodo beast. It came to my attention, if the Kodo beast increases allies attack, maybe the Kodo Chaos beast can decrease enmies attack... but that is a newbie idea ... I want something fresh, something new... I need ideas =P

Btw, the Chaos Orcs are a mainly an offensive race in my map. They are also excellent teammates for Undead allies.

I am open to ideas, rep++ is given as motivation for people that post ideas.

Chaos Battle Drums- Whenever a unit under the effect of this ability attacks, there is a chance for it to be gain attack damage/attack speed/whatever.
OR
Rhythm of Brutality- Gives all affected units a chance to do critical strike.
OR
Chaos Drums- Creates chaos for enemy units, causing them to miss once in a while.
OR
War Beat- Decreases the armour of enemy units slightly. Whenever a unit under this effect dies, allies near it will gain attack bonus for a short duration.

Typical, I know.

Drums of Chaos - The beat of this chaotic drum increases nearby unit's HP as well as attack speed and damage.


yeah its meh.

Mmm seems nice.

I can't use these ... I already have them in hero spells of some sort.

Increass Units hp mmmm Having in mind Chaos Orcs lack defensive abilities, I think that +hp and + attack will do the job just fine. Please elaborate this idea, do you think the bonus damage should be given as a percentage? What about the hp?
I really think I might use this, thx !

 

[Just_Spectating]

instead of the standard war drums with the % increase of allied units damage, it could be an increase by a % of the kodo beasts damage.

Hp could be the same idea, Or, rather, the closer the unit is to the kodo beast, the more hp it can be given. This could be used as for the damage as well.

This is not a good idea ... this will bring great conflict if a unit is near several kodos. I don't intend this ti stack you know xD

Mmmm.... quite a realistic idea ... I may like it xD

 

[Just_Spectating]

how about increase attack damage based on the attack damage that the kodo has.

(if kodo has 26 base dmg, units gain +26 damage)

I don't think this is "doable" ... I don't know of anyway to get the unit's current attack damage =S

 

[Basinator]

What about chaos wardrums which increase the range of distance units?

 

[Just_Spectating]

then you can just do the boring % of alies attk dmg lol

Hmm, how about Damage based on a % of the current life of the kodo beast?

 

[Zack1996]

Rhythm of Triumph- Each time an enemy unit is killed by your units, all nearby allies gain attack speed and nearby enemies get reduced attack damage.

Beat of Cowardice- Gives affected enemies a chance to lose their ability to attack for a short time and try and run away each time they get attacked. (Use Drunken Haze to disable attack)

Drums of Courage- When attacking a unit that is currently not attacking (check if current command is attack or something), you will deal more damage.
[If you want, combine this with the above aura]

Another failed attempt

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

So far I think the Kodo aura will be:
- Increases nearby unit's hp by 3% and attack speed by 6%

Thx for all the ideas =P

Another failed attempt

Not quite, you gave me pretty good ideas for heroes you know =D

 

[M4stah]

How about slighty reducing the effect of the aura, and adding a spell that disables the kodo drummers attack, but give a much higher aura effect

You mean a unit that can not attack and that it's only purpose is to have an aura ?

 

[Just_Spectating]

he means that the kodo can cast an ability which will make him unable to attack but increase the effect of the aura it has.


no attk = better aura
attk = lesser aura

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

no attk = better aura
attk = lesser aura

Ahhh mmm ... like some kind of morph right ?
I really think this idea is innovative for a melee game I like it. One question though, should the kodo still be able to "devour" enemy units?

 

[Just_Spectating]

i would say.

since the drummer is the attacker, and when you "morph" he concentrates on drumming while the kodo just does nothing. so i would say devour is an always.

I feel a mega aura for the Chaos Orcs Ranks comming up =D
rep++ people !

 

[best_player_88]

miss aura, can say how to make if wnaa

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

I know how to make a miss aura thx =P

The aura has already been decided, it will add X% hp to allies and it will increase their attack rate by 10% or 15% =D

 

[best_player_88]

lol how? to make miss aura and hp cap aura xD

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

the hp aura is quite complex. As for the miss aura, it is easier. YOu need a spell book with evasion. Then you pick all units in map with the auras buff and add the spellbook to the units. After that you disable the spell book, but the evsaion still works, thus making the evasion aura ! xD
Works on all passive abilities.

 

[wc3shady]

What if the Chaos Kodo Beast had three Non-Targetable allied buff abilities, so its like he could play different rhythms. Like, "Drum of War" would be temporary bonus attack damage, "Drum of Chaos" increases MS/AS temporarily and "Drum of the Warchief" would increase health temporarily.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

This would make the unit versatile but very unbalanced against the regular Orc Kodo ...
Unless ofc I force the caster to channel the auras, but still ... I don't like the idea that much =S

 

[Trillium]

Chaos March (need better name) - grants all nearby allies a chance to deal chaos damage on attack, based on percentage of their lost health. stacks with Chaotic Rage. doesn't stack with itself.

basically it gonna be something like ten times weaker than original Chaotic Rage (aka ~10% Chaos damage chance at 1% hp), so Grunt, Peon and Raider retain their uniqueness. thought this kind of ability would go well with whole Chaos Orc philosophy

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

Wermmm I seriously don't get people, I already have the idea lol...
And my Chaos Orc Race thread is dying and I just updated it xD
Anyway, as I said, I will add a bonus to attack speed. If the caster channels, unit also get bonus hp. =D

 

[Trillium]

oh, my apologies =)
just saw someone still posting suggestions and decided to throw in mine =)

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

You (should) know I always welcome your suggestions and posts =P
