Good to you all, guys! Today I come to bring my latest advance on my idea for a new mechanics for the game, That for some time I was trying to analyze the concept of how it would be and today I come to bring a sample, to know how it would seem, Hope enjoy
Now, before trying to explain how the sub-abilities work, give this example:
You are doing a dungeon, Undead Lair.
You are 8/8 and do dungeons are relatively easy, and your equipment is the best of the best.
You begin to feel that there is nothing more to be done, that now your only role is simply to farm the best Ut’s until someday you die, Or suicide by lava.
This always came to my mind and makes me feel annoyed., The cycle repeats itself. I’m right?
Well, this is where the concept of sub-abilities came to mind, giving a touch of endgame to the game and competitiveness.
Now that I gave my introduction, I come with the second part.
What are the subskills?
The subskills, as the name says, are secondary skills that act passively and interact with the character, granting passive improvements that will help in combat.
The player can only have up to 6 subskills, 3 Common tier, 2 UT Tier and 1 Legendary Tier.
The subskills, depending on the tier they have, grant stronger and unique improvements, the legendary tier skills awards more than just improvements, grants a different gameplay.
Now, how are the subskills obtained? Simple, with the Skill Books, which fall from all kinds of monsters, from basic enemies to gods and bosses.
Now, here I will explain how the window of the subskills would work.
After clicking on the sword-shaped window, As you can see in the image, A window will open that will show you your skills, or the slots that you will occupy.
As you can see, the abilities of tier Common, Ut’s and legendary are seen with different letters, This makes it known which and in what order they go.
The design of the interface is pretty bad, I know. I’m still improving it.
In short, already having shown them how subskills work, now I have to define how they are used.
The skill books, just like the potions are consumable, nonetheless. You can only consume 3 of common tier, Of rest the game will not leave you consume a 4th book.
ok, let’s move on to the next facet.
In this part I will show you a few subskills that I have done, In addition to this I will clarify first some doubts that you may be having.
-
The skillbooks are farmeables and tradeables, The LT and UT They are soulbound.
-
Some SK are only respective for their classes, as I will show you below.
They will not work if they are consumed by a class that is not of their type. -
The player will only have 3 common slots available, if the player wants the UT slots and LT will have to consult with deca and his wallet.
-
The subskills can be level up, Common Skills up to a maximum of 3.
The U’ts up to a maximum of 2 and the LTs not.
To level up the skills you must have it already set, Use the skillbook corresponding to that skill and will level up. -
Some subskills provide benefits to allies, however they are independent.
NOTE: Once a subskill is consumed, It cannot be removed or changed until the character dies.

Well folks, this is all I have for now, I’m doing more LT and UT’s for all classes.
I know, I focused a lot on the knight.
I was playing knight while I was doing it, that’s why I got so many ideas for knight xD
I hope and you have liked guys, Any questions you have let me know, I will answer them.
I hope at least deca suggest this idea, it would be revolutionary.
Comment what subskills you would use in your character, remember that are 3 common, 2 UT’s and 1 LT, Imagine!
Good night!
