Highwayman Remake with anaertailin's skin

This mod is a total rework on Highwayman's skill set & mechanic. The mod requires CC DLC to work.

Skills & Mechanics:



Highwayman now can only trigger one of the two traits: See Through (Virtue) & Loaded (Affliction), with 15%/85% chance (can’t be influenced by trinkets).

The reworked Highway man is now a very agile DPS class that can switch between two battle stances: Gun & Blade.

Gun stance is Highwayman’s main damage dealing stance and can only be entered when Highwayman is Loaded. In gun stance, Highwayman can initiate continuous ranged attacks in one turn, given he has sufficient Ammo.

Pistol Quick Shot:

Highwayman’s main ranged single target attack. Highwayman reloads three ammo to his pistol, and all rounds can be fired in a single turn! (Ability does not end turn)


Incendiary Ammo:

Highwayman fires his incendiary grenade towards his targets, dealing minor initial DMG and burning his enemies with increasing true damage dot. Highwayman has only one Incendiary Ammo. (Ability does not end turn)


Blast Grenade:

An AOE skill that can be used in both stances dealing true DMG and bleeding enemies. Highwayman has only one Blast Grenade. This skill will end the current turn.


Duelist's Advance:

When Highwayman used up all his ammo, he can only engage enemies with his melee attacks by switching to Blade Stance. Entering blade stance will clear his stress gauge & Loaded status.

In blade stance, while Highwayman can still use his blast grenade (if not used up), his can refill his stress gauge to get loaded via his melee attacks.


Slash:

In normal cases, Highwayman will only be able to use his Slash ability in Blade Stance. Slash will grant him +35 stress on each attack. It takes 3 turns for Highwayman to refill his stress gauge to 100, and with CC Trinkets it only takes 2 turns. Once the stress gauge is refilled to 100, he will then have 85% chance to be Loaded again.


Ambush:

In rare cases, Highwayman enters See Through status upon reaching 100 stress, this will not only buff his melee attacks, but also grant him a powerful melee skill – Ambush. Ambush will consume his See Through status and give him a huge damage boost. Ambush will also refill his stress gauge to 100 to trigger another coin toss, and it can be used again in the same turn as long as Highway re-enters See Through. Ambush will buff Highway man’s ranged attack damages upon use, and the buff stacks.


Warning Shot:

Finally, Highwayman’s warning shot will be available once he is Loaded. After marking an enemy and moving to the back of his team, Highwayman switches back to his gun stance and is ready to unleash a bullet storm.


Highwayman’s reworked CC set will now let him refills his stress gauge quicker, as well as boosting his quick shot’s damage.


Update 1.2: Highwayman's reworked CC trinkets are now standalone, with a prefix [Valor]. You can get them from the Courtyard reward or the Garden Guardian's loot.



Known Issue:
First Highwayman spawned in Old Road will have all seven abilities available at the same time, but the issue will be solved if he uses a switch stance ability.

Killing all enemies while using continue turn skills will not end the combat automatically. Fix is pretty simple, use either move or wait to end turn.

Sometimes continuous skills will not be able to lock on certain target. This is a very rare event and I am currently inspecting into that issue.
