Dragonslayer

Description
Now Updated for CoM! Big thanks to Typical Arthas for his Russian translation!

Class Introduction:

Dragonslayer is based on Ornstein from Dark Souls, though I interpret him more broadly. He's primarily a damage dealer which specializes in killing size 2 targets, and armored targets. He has access to some support skills, too. A variety of trinkets allow him to fill multiple roles, and you can play him as a shuffler or stationary character.

Art Credit:

AceroSteel drew this, based on another artist's work. Praise him as you would the Sun!
Bkkmims created trinket art! Praise her, too!

Combat Skills:

Swift Strike:

- - O O v X X - -

Dragonslayer's standard attack. It gains damage against size 2 targets, and builds electricity to empower his Lightning Impale.

Lightning Spear:

O O - - v X X X -

Dragonslayer hurls lightning at his enemies, piercing armor with it. This attack builds electricity to empower his Lightning Impale.

Sacred Oath:

O O O O

Dragonslayer casts a miracle, increasing his allies protection and damage. It lasts an entire battle.

Lightning Impale:

- O O O v X X - -

Dragonslayer impales his enemy. Without electricity gathered from other attacks, this attack is merely a low-damage stun. Moves Dragonslayer forward 1.

Lightning Dash:

O O - - v X X X X

Dragonslayer charges at the enemy, piercing their armor with his spear. This attack builds electricity to empower his Lightning Impale.

Golden Glint:

- - O O v X X X X

Dragonslayer dodges backwards, ready to riposte.

Princess' Guard:

O O O O

Dragonslayer guards an ally and gains some dodge.


Camp Skills:

In addition to the normal camp skills, Dragonslayer has...

Dynamic Duo: Dragonslayer creates a tag team with a partner from the party, bestowing similar stats the Executioner had.
Lion Eye: Dragonslayer gains accuracy.
Reach Advantage: Dragonslayer gains riposte damage.
Captain's Vigil: Dragonslayer provides watch, removing threat of ambush and reducing surprise chance.

Trinkets:

Dragonslayer Soul: Bonus damage on ranged attacks and virtue chance.
Ring of the Firstborn: Bonus damage on ranged attacks.
Leo Ring: Gains riposte damage.
Dragonslayer Band: Gains bonus damage from position 1, and against size 2 targets.

Dragonslayer Swordspear: CC trinket. Gain melee damage and strong virtue chance at the cost of much more stress.
Shield of the Rock: CC trinket. Gain immense protection, health, and move resistance at the cost of speed.

Final Thoughts:

I've wanted to revisit the Dragonslayer for a long time. It was my first mod.

I think my skills have come a long way, and my ability to deliver quality has improved.

This uprade to Dragonslayer is very simple. It swaps his heal for an AoE buff. I'm sure people will feel this is more accurate to his in-game lore, and perhaps better balanced. Others might be disappointed to lose something which has defined him for so long. I respect both perspectives, but I believe the Dragonslayer remains a support-oriented damage dealer with this change.

I think I've succeeded. I'm sure I'll hear whether I have or not.

If I revisit this guy again, he'll likely have stances.

A Friendly Request:

I like feedback. Please keep it to the forums, though-- comments for my mod are intended to be short messages, or urgent ones about bugs.


Future plans:

None.

Hello author, there are significant problems with the current Chinese translations. For instance, the names and effects of the accessories are all in English. I'm not good at English and I'm very frustrated.

@mikusma Firstborn chosen is a set bonus, you need the other trinket to activate it.

Any chance to get BR port for this mod?

Still not good at using him effectively, but love him none the less. Love the work. Keep it up.

Ok so i got the dragon slayer soul and it says at the bottom : First born chosen 10% DMG melee skills , 10 % Prot

But i see none of the effect when i equip it @Caedwyn

In the years since publishing DD mods, I've become a software developer. A very busy one at that! It's a good problem to have.

I'd love to return & overhaul everything with the practices & experience I've acquired, but the time investment on my part just isn't feasible right now, and the resources for good animations are quite specific on their own.

I'm finished with DD for the foreseeable future.

There is a Chinese language mod for this, but I don't know if it has been updated.
