The Iron Buddha

“May you find Peace in the Next Life”

The Iron Buddha is an unyielding tank, able to take damage alongside the bulkiest of classes. In the front of the charge, he wields his Dao, a curved blade from his far off homelands. He can slash through enemies with ease, causing bleeding wounds that are difficult to heal, or strike to interfere with the enemies own strength. When he needs to get from the backlines, he can lunge forward and summon a swathe of plum blossom petals, distracting his foes and drawing their attention. When in the back of the ranks, he draws his shortbow and fires off shots with uncanny accuracy, having foreseen their impact in his mind’s eye. He can summon forth petals to manifest among gusts of wind while firing volleys, confusing the enemies and disrupting their crafted formations. Additionally he can draw forth from two sources of strength in battle, the rigid might of his solid Iron armor around him, or from his own unyielding inner might. Woe to those who face him in battle, and may their next lives be free of the pain they will experience.

~~This is now my second mod to release here, and I’ve come a long way from my initial release of the Bloodclot. Fx, sounds, and artwork are all fully completed here, but may be edited in the future if any bugs or issues arise to ensure an even higher standard of quality than what I set for the Bloodclot himself. Likewise, do inform me of any bugs, glitches, or issues you encounter using the Iron Buddha. Thanks, and I hope your path to enlightenment and victory is assisted by this hero.~~

~~SKILLS~~

MORTAL SEVERANCE
Melee
XXOO|OOXX
The highest damaging move at your disposal, a simple slash that procs a slight bleed. However, this move also debuffs the enemies Healing Received significantly, making the choice of target in some battles an important tactical decision.

PENITENT BLADE
Melee
XXXO|OOOX
A high damaging move with only a slight damage reduction. This attack interferes with the opponents offense by debuffing their damage dealt, and inflicting a relatively large debuff to their accuracy, however can only be used in rank 1.

BLOOMING CHARGE
Melee
XOOX|OOXX
This moderately damaging attack moves yourself forward 1 rank, and also while only targeting one enemy, will debuff the entire enemy team’s accuracy minorly. Additionally, this attack marks yourself for 3 rounds, and has double the amount of your base crit, making it more likely to gain your on-crit prot boost.

IRON EMBRACE
Friendly(1 use per battle)
OOOO|@self
This move is a staple for Iron Buddha’s defensive capabilities, marking yourself for the entire battle, while granting a minor boost to prot. However it shines compared to similar abilities for briefer combat, by also granting 2 Aegis Tokens.

WINTER’S BLOOM
Friendly(1 use per battle)
OOOO|@self
This move is less likely to be used regularly, however with proper timing and circumstance, can change the outcome of a battle in your favor. While Only useable below 50% of your max hp, this move grants a large stress heal, and boosts your Healing Received and Accuracy for the remainder of combat.

PETAL VOLLEY
Ranged
OOXX|XO-O-O
The lowest damaging move available to you, wherein a shower of petals and arrows fall on your foes. However, this move should not be dismissed for its low damage, in that it will shuffle all targets it successfully hits. Against foes who’s deadliness is tied even in part to their position, this move can completely disrupt an enemy team.

FORESEEN SHOT
Ranged
OOXX|OOOO
The stronger of two ranged moves available to the Iron Buddha, this attack is simple and of average damage, able to target any foe in battle. While lacking any debuffs or disruption of the enemy team, it will mark the target struck by it. The true strength and utility of this move is only truly apparent when paired with those who can capitalize on marked targets, as Iron Buddha himself cannot.

~~BACKSTORY~~



The Iron Buddha was once a mere monk, living in a monastery sheltered away in the mountains among the plum groves with his Master. His Master, despite having become a Monk, was a master of blades and archery, and had fought in war many years ago, losing his finger in his harshest battle.

When war came once more to his Homeland, his Master and himself were called to serve, and they could not refuse their Lord’s call. They fought hard on the battlefield, but the war was being lost. In a crucial battle, the enemy surged forth and slaughtered a vast number of their forces in brutal fashion, including his Master who died in his arms.

He donned the towering Iron Armor from the body of a dispatched general, and rose against all odds, strength burgeoning forth from within him. Rallying his forces behind him, he led a charge that crushed the enemy beneath them in his fervor. This battle proved a turning point, and led to the success of his homeland soon after, though in this time the Monastery fell to ruin and disrepair.

With no home to return to, no master to return with, and no battles left to fight, the Iron Buddha took to roaming the lands. Now he searches for enlightenment and to lead others alongside him, or to find and turn evil away from its path or destroy it, and now has come to the Hamlet in his long journey, where great evil, yet great insight, may lurk, far beneath.
