Screechheart

Description
Screechheart joins the fight in Rivals of Aether as part of the Another Workshop Jam!

Screechheart's unique gimmick is that he himself only takes reduced damage when hit, but a pillar he can control takes full damage.
If either he or the pillar get launched into the blastzone, Screechheart loses a stock.
Watch out and keep your pillar safe! The pillar has super armor but the super armor disappears when Screechheart reaches 100%.
The pillar has an AoE circle surrounding it. Don't stay out of it for too long because Screechheart takes damage over time while he is outside of it.

The pillar can be controlled with Screechheart's specials, so use this to your advantage.

Gimmicks:
-Screechheart's shrine takes damage instead of Screechheart.
-There is a big circle around Screechheart's shrine, outside of it Screechheart takes damage over time.
-Whenever you respawn choose a spot to place your shrine by moving it there and pressing special or attack.
-Screechheart can hit other players by dropping his shrine on top of them.

N Special:
Take control of the shrine moving it around freely.


D Special:
Screechheart switches places with his shrine.


Strong attacks:
Screechheart can perform strong attacks in the air. Whenever you perform a strong attack, the shrine does a strong attack as well.

He's good but he feels so overbalanced. Any character that do good damage can just camp the totem and rack up damage without even fighting you. Sure you can just move it but don't forget I can't use it again until I hit the ground. Note we still damage so they don't even have to attack the totem. Heck if you and the totem get attacked at the same time it's possible to have tripled damage taken to you (That has been tested btw). His recovery and attacks are fine it's just his kill power sucks when it comes down to smash attacks. I'd at least expect him to be powerful if our life LITERALLY depends on that totem. He needs a buff in simple terms but I thought I needed to explain why.

@Monagression: Yes, he is canon in the Rivals universe. :)

Quick question: would you say this character could be classified as a character born in the rival of aether world, or are they from their own canon? I'm making a list of rival canon workshop characters

Love the character and the mechanics, although the forward facing sprite doesn't fit in in my opinion.

Oh I was probably just jumping out of the pillar's range lmao

Hey, thanks for your comment. I found the issue (though it had nothing due to with the third jump, just with Screech taking any sort of damage) and was able to fix it. I will try to upload the patch soon

Hope to see an update because rn his triple jump crashes the game

I love this character's mechanic. He's also very unique to play against. I also happened to notice a bug with Screechheart's hitbox is out of place when doing s-tilt.

I think dropping the sconce/shrine should have a hitbox and a weak spike to it, like Kragg's rock or SK's Up Smash. Also, u-air doesn't connect when shorthopping and then inputting u-air. It does connect when pressing A+Y (y is bound to s-hop and x to full)
