TR_KARMA

The map for every TF2 weapon demonstration makes its way into Rivals of Aether as a stage, along with all of its infamous wooden cutouts. On the Aether form of TR_KARMA, these cutouts act as powerups, traps, and everything in-between themed around each individual class. Every effect is reminiscent of their abilities in Team Fortress 2, and they perform the following:


Scout: The player who broke the cutout gains a speed boost while walking, running, and moving in neutral air states for 10 seconds.


Soldier: The player who broke the cutout now has +2 double-jumps for 10 seconds.


Pyro: The player who broke the cutout now ignites enemies on each hit (as long as it puts players into enough hitstun), and attacks now deal 1.5x more damage to players that are burning.


Demoman: A large pack of dynamite drops to the ground, and when it detonates it sends several explosives across the stage.


Heavy: The player who broke the cutout now has 10 soft armor on each attack for 10 seconds: This means that only attacks dealing more than 10 damage will cause a player to get interrupted out of their attack. Remember, it doesn’t prevent you from taking this damage, it only prevents flinching.


Engineer: 5 mini-sentry “rats” surround the broken cutout, then they fly towards the player who destroyed the cutout. They deal a lot of damage, but these sentries can hit any player: smart players can use the auto-targeting to hit opponents.


Medic: A miniature Medic descends from the skies and flies towards whoever destroyed the cutout. When it lands on the player, they receive 3 health every 1.5 seconds. The mini Medic will fly away after the player reaches 0 health or when the player is put into enough hitstun. (These mini Medics can stack if you destroy multiple cutouts, but they all will be blown away at once when hit)


Sniper: A jar of… jarate is quickly thrown onto the stage and lands with a splash. Any players unfortunate enough to be covered in piss now receive 1.3x damage and knockback for 10 seconds. One redeeming quality is that jarate extinguishes flames, which players can use to shut down the Pyro powerup at the cost of extra knockback.


Spy: The player who broke the cutout now has improved evasive maneuvers (rolls and airdodge). Your roll now produces an illusion going the opposite direction to throw off opponents, and your airdodges now go significantly farther and give some invisibility.

The music used is all from Open Fortress: A Team Fortress 2 mod that makes the game much more like an arena shooter.

For those wondering what the Chinese text next to the Wiki Hat and flowers is for, it translates to "Goodbye" and is for KarmaCharger, the person who recorded most of the TF2 Wiki Demonstration videos and is who the original TR_KARMA map in TF2 was created for. This message is in memorize to him and his contributions, he didn't die, but he permanently left the Internet and this stage wouldn't exist without him. https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/User:Karmacharger
