Create a Character - Redesigned Combat System


Recommended Posts

Add any character you want, under the guidelines of this proposed redesigned combat system for FE Warriors 2, which combines elements of Fire Emblem Warriors, One Piece Pirate Warriors 3, and One Piece Pirate Warriors 4. This is essentially a combat system that I think could be realistic, as it combines what worked with modern innovations.

 

Because of the redesigned system, you can even submit redesigns for FEW1 characters.

 

Mechanics

 

Redesigned Mechanic - Pair Up -> Adjutants

Spoiler

Pair Ups Become Adjutants. Each character can have one saved adjutant, which you can change from either the Camp or the Preparation menu. The saved adjutant will be automatically deployed alongside them. You can't swap to Adjutants, unless your character has the Swap Combat Art; however, Adjutants will automatically guard your character on a cooldown, will Dual Warrior attack if you consume two Warrior gauges, and will unleash a Joint Attack after your chain finishers (like in One Piece Pirate Warriors 3).

 

New Mechanic - Weapon Swaps

Spoiler

Each character has their own unique combination of two movesets. Press the ZR button to swap your weapon. Time your weapon swap right after the end of a chain finisher to unleash an extra Swap Attack for extra damage.

 

Each character has 2 prf weapons, one for each moveset. Kill counts are halved and rare skill drops are doubled to compensate.

 

New Mechanic - Spells/Combat Arts

Spoiler

Each character has their own unique combination of 4 special actions (like in One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 and Samurai Warriors 5). These are mapped to R + A, R + B, R + Y, and R + X. These are comprised of Spells and Combat Arts that give them a unique role. Each Spell or Combat Art has its own independent cooldown, ranging from 15-60 seconds. Some skills have variable cooldowns based on how much they healed you or how much Musou gauge they refilled. These gauges are independent of eachother and from your Musou/Rage gauge. Damaging Combat Arts and Spells reveal gold enemy break gauges if WTA or gray if neutral WT.

 

Skill Slot Redesign

Spoiler

As with One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 and 4, you have 6 skill slots, with certain stronger skills (like Luna and Lethality) costing 2 or 3 slots. Stronger skills thus come at a higher cost.

 

New Mechanic - Core Skill Tree

Spoiler

In addition to each character having their own progression skills, there is a core Army line, which ensures every playable character will be somewhat viable. You should max it out first. This works like the one in One Piece Pirate Warriors 4.

 

This consists of the following stat buffs:

2nd Warrior gauge

Boosts to every stat (except Mov)

 

And the following Core Combat Arts, which can replace any of your 4 Character-Specific Combat Arts/Spells:

Smite

Shove

Reposition

Draw Back

Dash

Pivot

Swap

 

New Mechanics - Warrior Attack/Dual Attack

Spoiler

Warrior Attacks and Dual Attacks slightly redesigned. 

 

Press A to Warrior Attack. Consumes 1 Warrior Gauge.

Hold A to Dual Warrior Attack with your Adjutant. Consumes 2 Warrior Gauges.
