Crossbones – hes got a bone to pick
Crossbones is a mostly a zoner, but still have somewhat good medium-ranged melee capabilities while also being able to threaten from far away. His general damage is also remarkable, being able to more or less consistently extend combos with his Seize and Wall Bone, and be able to do hard-hitting melee combos using his own gravestone cross as a weapon.
But here’s the kicker: he dies to a single palmstrike at full health. But! He has an extra lives mechanic, being able to respawn shortly after "dying", and also being able to gain extra lives at the cost of meter.
Oh and he has summons, and 4 types of them, with different movesets and health values. (Trust me, its actually balanced, relatively.)
Not sure if he’s still in Beta, but he still has quite alot (if not a very concerning amount) of bugs and most likely balance issues. If you find any, let me know with details so I can (hopefully) fix it, thanks! (and yes ik about the prediction errors, kinda lazy to fix it but idk)
Cool mechanics to note:
– He has maximum 2 lives, and starts with max lives.
– His summons can be knocked down, rendering them unable to keep fighting, but can be revived via spending a life.
– When his normal health reaches 0, he will enter a dying state, he can still be comboed for extra meter and slight damage for his next life.
– When in dying state and he hits/is on the ground, he will collapse, and his cross is sent flying away. Once the cross lands, he will respawn where the cross landed, play a lil respawning animation, will knock you away if you’re too close, and then the game will continue like usual (supposedly).
– Many of his attacks do not do hitstun, and does Damage Over Time instead.
– Regaining a life will cost a varying amount of meter.
– Using it for the 1st time will cost 1 bar
– Using it for the 2nd time will cost 2 bars
– Using it for the 3rd time will reach its max cost at 3 bars
– Using it for the 4th, 5th, 6th, etc time will always cost 3 bars
P.S: hes not sans i swear
i also wonder if some people think he’s using a greatsword
