Hood Rework

Description
Do you love the Hood as a character, but dislike her shuffle mechanic? Do you wish she was an actual viable hero, instead of just a clumsy meme with breats? Do you wish Muscarine would magically reappear, and give the Hood an update like they gave the Fawn?

Well, I can't really help you with that last one, but here's a mod which covers the first two!

This mod gives a minor rework to Muscarine's Hood class, which makes her more viable and less frusturating. Note that after her latest update, some of this rework's more OP aspects were altered or removed:

  • For starters, the Hood's shuffle mechanic has been removed from herself, and relegated to her Butterfly attack. Now she shuffles her enemies! Let's see how THEY like it!
  • Furthermore, both her Cake and Wine abilities have been relegated to the back two rows and buffed slightly, with the former healing for slightly more and the latter healing stress.
  • Finally, her Bag ability now functions as a retreat ability, letting her get to the back row in a flash. This makes both her healing abilities more accessable as well as useful.

As of now, the Hood's camping skills and trinkets remain unchanged, although she's been given some new class-specific quirks.

This should be placed ABOVE the Hood mod in the load order.

Essentially, the game is reading both `effects.darkest` files, even though they are both the exact same name.

I was wondering if you've ever had this phenomena occur.

Yes, that's what I thought.

I'm making a balance mod but for me, mine does not work in the same way at all and causes stacking effects regardless.

I wanted to know how you were doing so, and whether I was doing something wrong.

@General Electric Tiger If this mod is placed above the original mod in the mod load order, then this mod will overwrite (replace) the original mod's files.

Heya, wanted to ask how you did the balance tweaks / reworks without the original mod and your changes stacking, since you're editing the `hero.darkest` and `effects.darkest` files.

@I Are Smort if you’re looking for a less invasive hood rework mod, why not try my “The Hood's "A Sip of Wine" Heals Stress” mod? Increases her usefulness without removing her self-shuffle.

kinda miss her shuffle cause now she doesnt say a whole lot, maybe make it so that her unique voicelines play when moving enemies

No problem. I'd rather a false alarm that an unnoticed bug.

Oh my bad, did not put mod above original, sorry for your time loss.
