Weapons & Equip Sharkron Varieties

[Baconfry]

Just a thought I had. The Tempest Staff is quite a neat summoner weapon, but you all know that there's more than one kind of shark in the ocean, right?

So I propose that the Tempest Staff could summon Sharknadoes that are randomly assigned to three types.

Normal Sharknadoes fire the garden variety, 50 summon damage Sharkrons.
Mako Sharknadoes fire Mako Sharkrons, which deal 43 summon damage but have a greater fire rate and much higher velocity.
Hammerhead Sharknadoes fire spinning Hammerhead Sharkrons, which deal 56 summon damage, but are fired slightly slower and are more affected by gravity.

Here, have some sprites. (Original Sharkron sprite included at the top.)

Any thoughts? Let's hear 'em!

That's a pretty nice suggestion you got there. Support.

i have just a few questions regarding all of this:
would this be effected by RNG,
would the "source" sharknado be random each time you summon it, or just the projectile from a "standard" sharknado be subjected to this,
or
are the sharks fired on a pre-determined pattern of rotation to "toggle" between the types of projectiles?

my questions aside, this is actually a really neat idea in my opinion

Thanks for your support! The decision is made with the initial summon, so any particular Sharknado minion fires the same projectile. And the type is randomly determined, with no pattern. Think of Olimar from SSBB.

Nice concept and interesting idea.

 

[Gem]

I like this, I agree with CrazyDragon

Not sure if we need them to do anything, but there should definitely be more variety in their appearance. Most other minion weapons have varying appearances, so why not Sharkrons?

 

[MiltVala]

Looks good! If I had a support badge it would be here -->

 

[Apollo]

Nice idea! Would love to have different sharkron types. Support.

Considering its the Tempest staff, ever thought about adding one that moves slower, doing less damage but homes in on its target?

Of course I considered it, but what kind of shark would that be? Lemon, Cookiecutter, Basking, Whitetip Reef, Blacktip Reef, Bull, Tiger, Megamouth, Frill, Goblin, Greenland, Nurse, Swell, Great White, Thresher, Whale, Blue, Sixgill...

None really deserves a homing ability any more than the others. But I did get an idea: they should be homing while submerged in water.

 

[Mystery]

This would be a fun addition.

Small Ideas:
Greenland shark,slower and less damage but can inflict Chilled.
Whale shark,slower but bigger hit-box.
Goblin shark,less damage but pierces.

Why don't the sharknado's themselves change colour according to what shark they launch?

You're right, why not? Probably because I'm too lazy to make the sprites. Ha ha ha...
But yeah, they probably will.

 

[Youfad]

It looks fairly well made!

 

[MinerTurtle45]

I support. Can't think of anything else to say.

 

[Grand Paladin Tyrux]

That would be really, really cool!

 

[ZEHRTE]

as a summoner class i love this idea APPROVED

Would be nice to see in-game.

Especially since the summoner class is in dire need of addition and revamping.
