Simple idea: you lose punch and some slash damage, in exchange your lunge has +1 tile range, you move faster while grabbing/pulling, and when you lunge a marine, they are still stunned, but not knocked down, so they can tank shots for you as you fall back. This gives warrior a mix of survivability and a higher focus on capturing.
Maybe grabbing a human prevents them from setting off a grenade or shooting themself
Only if the marines can stun the warrior with a megaphone so we can begin negotiations while the sniper gets into position.
Wrong door buddy the acid goop is 2 blocks up
yeah no i think if i want either of these effects i will choose to either release them or have better positioning while keeping my moveset, unnecessary for warrior, just aims to make it more frustrating
why do you say this?
If also comes at the cost of No healing when slashing lunged marines or takes away a bit of max HP i would say these could work.
Edit
Yes
Biggest hurdle would be to find a good one word name for it. And abductor dosn’t really fit.
…does base warrior heal when they slash lunged marines???
why is this not listed on the wiki page???
Lo and behold the wikipage for the warrior. Litterary its first ability.
I think this strain needs more differences from base warrior, but the tradeoff of punch and slash dmg is a good start… worse tackling would be good too, so it can’t solo cap, and basically requires teamwork to succeed. Higher lunge distance and no knockdown is just that big of a buff that the caste should be situational and team oriented to create counterplay.
I looked at the wiki page yesterday and DID NOT see it, I looked at every entry how did I miss this?!!!
kinda opposite but i’ve been thinking if you remove fling and lifesteal passive in exchange for bonus 5 armor or maybe like 50 shield for the duration of lunge for little bit of survivability to make warrior more of a warrior
give warrior a sword and shield and bronze cuirass
