I was thinking of a good Thetys' Bodyguard skill, and I thought of an AOE 50% stamina drain with recharge disabled for 2 or 3 turns.

Would this skill effectively mean the Bodyguard is more use than Thetys herself?

Anyway I was wondering @Carlos @Fox if this recharge disabled is something you have ever considered to implement before?

If there is a stamina relic in play then not a big problem .

No, bad idea. Enough people upset with SP without adding to it.

@Bruce-Hamilton But the game has to grow to survive.

What if they have no stamina and recharge is disabled, what would happen?

@TheSwedishHippo Then they are out of the game for 2 turns until they can recharge again (unless they get an Ultimate).

You mean like stun? Oh I see.
But it shouldn't be stun, should be something like "Tired" or something

Hi. I see that as a very cruel skill!
I would hate it being landed on my team.
Area 50% stamina drain is very powerful "soft control" skill ( a control skill in turn 2 or 3).
Disabilling recharge combo with possesion, and I also see potential problems (all skills in cd and rechargue disabled. Where I click?)

Thanks for the idea and feel free to give as many as you want. We will consider them.

Thetys bg is already coming. And is a tank ;)

@Carlos perhaps not disable the "recharge" button but simply negate stamina recovery? Since it would obviously be more powerful than negate healing, it shouldn't last too long; one or two turns.

Also, a little idea of my own... How about creating "vulnerabilities"? Like, vulnerability to freeze, all affected enemies can be frozen no matter what their trait is... I actually liked that idea so much I made a skillset for a monster that could potentially use it, haha. It would be a fun thing to play with, wouldn't it?

@Szymon-Zin Very good solution to "disable recharge" :)

And you mean a status that if landed, "disables freeze immunity trait" and bypasses hardened and similar only for freeze.

I like it!
But for sure it won't be an "ultra freeze", will be a previous status effect.

@Szymon-Zin said in Recharge Disabled - a good idea?:... How about creating "vulnerabilities"? Like, vulnerability to freeze, all affected enemies can be frozen no matter what their trait is...

but wouldn't this a less powerful skill than trait disabled ? instead of choose freeze vulnerability or stun vulnerability or etc you have the maximum one which disable all so you are free to apply whatever you want
unless you mean in one turn the vulnerability and freeze is applied which will be broken op skill

How about instead of Negate Stamina recovery, it would be Recover Half Stamina instead? Negate Stamina is also good but what if all skills are on cooldown and you can't recharge, what would happen then? Half Stamina recovery is a better solution in my opinion to at least prevent potential bugs.

@TheSwedishHippo Thing is, it wouldn't cause a bug. You just hit the button and recover 0 stamina points instead of the basic 70. And again and again until the effect wears off. This means, that even relics like Charging Banner can't help you.

Certainly EXTREMELY powerful if used tactically.

@Haka-Taka Well yes, it would be a "weaker trait disabled". But really; piercing through traits is fun. And then, giving Trait Disabled to a lot of monsters would break the game.

It's a bit like with the "haters". It's a triple damage buff with a requirement.
