The Crystalline Herald

The little comet stucked the Hamlet, however no damages to the Hamlet was occurred and a little herald emerges out from her shell and see the world once more...

This is Hestrir's replacer mod that turns the herald replacer into a actual hero class with unique combat and camping skills and sprites. The sprites, trinkets artwork and town event pics is done by Hestrir and I mostly did the coding on her

The Herald is a support class / tank class and one of the enemies from the endless Farmstead that is turned into an ally. She has different roles that are variety depends on what posistion she's on and what abilities you use for her apporpriate positions and can go with multiple team compositions and she'll be able to fit in many roles. She comes with 6 color palette-swap skins, and come with her unique virtue and affliction.

- When she Virtues she becomes "Hardened Shells" which gives her 100% damamge relection, 35 prot and some slightly resistances and guards someone however she gains more stress to lose her virtue.
- When she Afflicts she becomes "Frailed Crystals" which makes her no way to give herself prot and her guard skills are disabled and hard to stress heal, sometimes stresses other when they try to help her, but exchange she has 30% chance to stealth herself for 1 round if she gets hit, giving her time to stress heal herself and more stress resistance.
- Also Virute trinkets won't work on her and both of her Virtue and Affliction is now a 50% coin flip so take a risk if you want.

- A new class hero - the Crystalline Herald. Featuring 7 skills, and 4 camping skill. Plus she has full barks for intereactions and combat barks, also there's secret barks in the endless Farmstead mission if you can manage to get to the comet itself...
- A town event for the initial recruitment for the Crystalline Herald.
- She also have resolve level town event and the Minstrel resolve level with her too and I recommend you get her: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2122287782
- Her canon name is Celeste
- She has a unique disease where you can use the shard dust on her if she has a disease.
- To celebrate the release of Vermintide mod, Crystalline Herald gains a unique disease only to herself called: Husk Crystal Body! Use Shard Dust or Warpstone on her. Also a sneak peak for Black Reliquary Patch.
- Her trinkets are included in this class mod but the trinkets on this class mod requires sunward isles in order for them to appear otherwise they won't show up, but they're optional.
- Most of the sound assets are mostly taken from the existing game assests from the dlc and all the sprites including her virtue, affliction, camp, walk, investigation and her 7 attack sprites by Hestrir and his amazing work! I also did some of her fxs for her attacks.
- Her two secret trinkets can only be found in the endless harvest farmstead or farmstead plus mod mission with her by interacting the curios with her only (5% chance to find them).

The Crystalline Herald will appear in your Stagecoach even her town event has occured. Changed it so everyone has a chance to play with her.

No knowning issues at the moment.
