Duelist+: A Duelist Rebalance Mod
"Encore! Again! Until you get it right."
Though Duelist can be an extremely fun hero, I find she tends to suffer more weaknesses than most of the rest of the cast – low reach, the lowest max HP in the game, and weak round 1s – without most of her moves being strong enough to compensate. The goal of this mod is to increase her playstyle diversity and reduce redundancy in her kit without buffing her strongest playstyles nor making her unbalanced within the cast.
Currently, wanderer is the only path implemented, but I intend to update this mod with the rest of her paths, and I’m open to both feedback and suggestions either through steam, or via discord @meadowstream8
Touché – Inverted Movement Ranks
Feint – Launches from any rank (likely to be reverted when Instructrice changes are implemented), slightly higher damage, gives a random stance on mastery when you have none
Disengage – Hits 2-3-4 instead of 1-2-3, and removes riposte on mastery
Flick – Now hits rank 3
The Boot – No longer requires a stance
Again – Less likely to remove your stance, provides an extra action instead of a cooldown reset
Coup de Grâce – No longer requires a stance, no longer innately ignores block or weaken. The block and weaken ignore is now a defensive stance effect, and when aggressive, you instead gain +2 flat damage
Ruthless Instruction – Ruthless+ is now the unmastered move, and the move scales on mastery (1 dodge+, 1 dodge in defensive, strength in aggressive)
