ITT: Invent a weapon latent that supports a unique playstyle

[Sacrificial]

(looking at you tank build)

Shield as sword:
Convert x% of def into dmg.

My pain, your pain:
Add the last taken damage number to your Atk. An attack that resulted in death does not count.

Didnt read all 3 pages, but here's my 2cents.

I think for the most part everyone agrees that the latent feature for weapons is cool but wasn't implemented to its fullest potential(hehe). A lot of them are really just not useful at all. (like the one that HAS A CHANCE to make traps for the ranger SLIGHTLY better? like wtf is that shit)

I think they could save the "Potential" feature if they just tweak values of the effects. Like any potential that makes a PA better should make it a LOT better by the 3rd lv Potential.

What would have been REALLY cool is if they had potentials that added bonus affects (and effects!) to current PAs. For instance making the bullet travel time of Concentrate One twice as fast, or extend Over Ends range by 50%, or make a charge up ability not have to charge up to do full damage. There are SO many effects they could have implemented.

tldr: make sad

Increase the damage of Shunka Shunra by 16%

Increase the damage of Shunka Shunra by 16%

Increasing the power of a single photon art does not constitute supporting a unique playstyle. It supplements already-existing ones. Please try harder next time.

Talis latent: Windy Mirror: Power of Zanverse is increased by 100%/200%/300%

This will produce an 80 power zanverse that facilitates a support build. It's not 100% because it's affected by wind masteries (which will make it more incredibly op than actually necessary)

Man, this would make me start using talis. I already use Zanverse 24/7, I'd love to have this.

Wands that use gear to force meteor shower/aurora/no weather. Possibly other weather effects too if damage boosting potentials for them are ever made. Idk, might be an interesting support role.

[Chdata]

Unlocked set effects:

70% chance of reducing 25% of any damage source

100% chance of reducing damage by 30%, but 3% of that damage is drained from PP.
take 700 dmg, lose 21 PP and only take 490 dmg.

[Scale of Judgment]

Melee weapon latent: Unlimited Combo Works: Melee attacks cause a chain trigger(like Gunner) that keeps on racking until PA is used. PA is boosted by combo number and duplicated again to damage target.
- Boosts Fighter and quick melee attacks to build up chain.
- Most likely will be on td, wl, or ds.

Melee weapon Latent: How to Skin a cat: melee weapons cause a minor weak bullet effect, this effect is increased by using multiple melee weapon types to stack.
- Switch up weapons
- Cooperative melee action
- Useless if everyone is katana

Range weapon latent: Sniper's Bravado: Hitting weakpoint with PA activates this. Hitting weakpoint will grant pp per hit to weakpoint. A miss or not hitting weakpoint will deduct 100 pp of player.
- Aim carefully
- shoot with precision
- Not reliable with gunner

Force Weapon Latent: Kaleidoscope Oath: Boost elemental damage of technics by 200%. After technic hits, mob is now resistant to element by 500% for 50 seconds.
- Multispec forces required (Fire, Lightning, Wind, Dark, Light, Ice)

Force Weapon Latent: Omniscient Flare: Now Photon Flare is passive along with the hp reduction. The after burst is now added into the new passive flare.
- Boosts Photon Flare
- Actually makes Photon Flare more useful
- People will actually use Photon Flare
