I love this mod! The Falconer and the Talons feel like great additions to the game that fit perfectly into the setting!
Any way I can convince you to make a mod that replaces the gun-wielding brigands with Talon-style archers and bird masters? Maybe replace Dismas with a falconer? I'm willing to pay.
If at all amenable to this and wanting to discuss, feel free to friend and message me!
Falconer is awesome and you did a great job with this mod! <3

Hello, I made a mod based on Marvin Seo's The Falconer (revamp one) with the purpose of making the gameplay more fun and dynamic, as well as adding some small changes to some mechanics.

I made this mod because The Falconer was (and still is) my favorite hero from Marvin's excellent productions. I leave this suggestion here for those who have already played the original version of Marvin and would like to try something simpler, but equally fun.

Thanks to whoever reads this!

This character is very strong. And absurdly versatile. I thought she was underwhelming until I learned to use her right, put her in the right team (bleed/mark), and piled debuff boosting trinkets on her. Eyethief alone makes her invaluable on a team with the BH and HM, which can make the whole team unhittable and hit like a freight train. She bleeds, crits, dodges, is quick, debuffs, cleaves, buffs, stealths, stress heals, and dances.

Seriously, put next to the original cast, she's one of the more OP heroes, easily. If you think this character is weak just because her basic attack doesn't hit hard in the first round, you need to spend more time with her and understand how powerful support classes can be in this game. Don't play her DPS unless the target is marked and bleeding, she is support until then.

Who decided it was fair for the crow enemies to just be able to keep repopulating their ranks when any of their non crow allies die? that shit is unnecessarily difficult for literally no reason other than to just ruin peoples time. I wasn't prepared for it, first time I saw it and it was literally right before the boss room in the corridor. that ruined my run completely. I had to delete the save because that boss determined whether I got enough money to continue. and selling trinkets wasn't possible since I lost all of my heros and subsequently their trinkets at the hands of fucking multiplying shriveled crows. absolutely fun. absolutely balanced. that shit actually ruined my day.

She has a canon name?

Shes by far the weakest and boring of marvin seos classes. The adapt gimmick is bad for a modded class. Instead of the extra effects being part of the original attacks. She ends up with 6 mediocre abilities instead of 4 strong abilities.
But... she adds alot of new lore friendly monsters with good trinkets

Oh, and also Flank/Gouge cant be used on pos 4, but her backward skill moves her back 2 spots, but then why you would push yourself into a position where you can't use your main damage skill? It's laughly bad.

Adapt animation is just a blank pose. Which is even more annoying than expected since the idea is you would adapt frequently, so you actually have to go through so many animations, its tiresome.
The hawk flapping constantly during fight is very distracting. Should be more idle.

This class really need a rework. Her stealth-dashing playstyle is just too awkward to setup.
Flank/Gouge is laughly bad, it needs setup and only hit the front, can't even target stealth enemies with it, which are usually squishy, high value enemies.
Give Flurry a guaranteed debuff chance like the Houndmaster so she can at least function as a disruptor.

Atm she basically use the first 2 moves 95% of the time with the occasional spirited cry. At least make Stalk gives her a bigger dmg buff to compensate spending the opening turn with it. Now she's just an Arbalest with better mark, waiting to shot marked, if there isn't one then she will mark, it's boring.

So now i can use a hawk too huh.

This mod is neat stylistically but kind of undetuned. the dual purpose skill gimmick is novel, but also I feel like it doesnt adress a lot of weird anti synergies. Flank moves you forward one, but then fleeting escape moves back two, but if you move back 2 into position 4 you cant use the skill that makes you move forward. all that combined with a weird emphasis on stuff like a bunch of single target debuffs and mixing between mark and bleed makes her feel less like a synergist and more like she can't do anything on her own. This is kind of an older mod and is definently high effort and execution for its time but with a game like DD where the gameplay balance is very much structured around vanilla mechanics and options mod heroes can be either really OP or really weak on accident. Talon brigands are really cool though.

looks cool

non potresti fare una mod per disattivare / rimuovere il tratto negativo del Talon Brigands

Has anyone made a version of this new Falconer without the Talon Brigand fights or Marked by the Flock? Between the encounters being brutal and Marked by the Flock taking up space from more interesting quirks, I just have less fun. I know there is the legacy version but this new sprite is prettier and I like how this new Falconer can play second rank dps too.

I really love the talon brigand encounters. The fights are super interesting on higher levels - I just fought the first band which had a hostage with them,

Hey, just wanted to let you know that this mod is awesome. Getting used to the Adapt skill mechanic can be confusing at first but you'll get used to it. This character is really fun to use and also satisfying, I really recommend it

The 'Adapt' skill modes implementation is... kinda rough to me, very unnoticable and confusing in the combat UI. It would be nice if it was brought up to date with other characters with two skill sets like the Lawbringer, The Silent or transformation characters.

I hope not :(

Is there an NSFW skin for this mod?

she really just doesn't add... Anything honestly. I'm more in it for the Enemies but even so they're too boring, I haven't even used her as a class for my past 2 runs and in my current one i've just removed the mod alltogether.

she needs a rework at worst and a minor buff at best. Musketeer (Who is much better, cooler, hotter and more mommy milkers than ballista ala porta) Does her job already, if not better. I guess Falconer is a bit more flexible since she is not restricted to just mark teams and she can dance around... But it's not like Musketeer/inferior og Doesn't have her own strengths. Her need to be in the backline is her defining weakness. She can be the sole healer in the party, she can be a somewhat alright stress healer and her damage is much better than Falconer's, the moment you have a Musketeer/Inferior Og class in your roster is the moment when you commit to either a mark team or just a subpar backup healer/damage dealer.

Be very careful with the hostage, once you deleted the bandits, either spend the turn healing, or moving your party around. About a round or two after that the hostage will "thank" you with stress heal and combat will end.

a lot of flock

I still think she needs a subtle damage buff.
Her only roles in a party are dealing damage in several ways, debuffing enemies' accuracy, and some Spirited Cry perks, and her base damage is a little lower than Arbalest's - a somewhat similar character that comes with a very valuable healing ability.
Arbalest's average DMG across all tiers outpaces that of Falconer by 0.5 or 1 - much more noticeable on lower levels than on higher, admittedly.
If you were to just copy Arbalest's progression, it would be a good enough solution; however, you'd probably want to differentiate your modded hero from vanilla content. To do that, you could either converge her upper and lower damage stats by 1 towards the medium value equivalent to Arbalest's, or diverge them away from the median. Wider damage range would imrove crits that care about the upper value only, while smaller, more reliable range would ease tactical decision-making.

You should have explained the hostage mechanics. It literally ruined my run.
I killed the brigands and then nothing was happening. I tried not to kill the hostage but then had to seeing no other way (big mistake). If you're gonna put in new mechanics explain them at least.

Why would you add terrible and handicapping quirks with this, that just straight up ruin the gameplay in some dungeons? Why not just add the hero?

Are there any requirement or limitation on how you get the "Mark by the Flock"? I think a mod that I install probably conflicting with this mod, because I'm not getting the quirk. In the run that I'm having right now, I had a total of 5 heroes with the Mark, but then after that no more, 3 of those 5 heroes sadly die even before reaching Lv.6 now I can't get any other hero with the Mark, no matter how many times I kill the Talon Brigands

Hello, how can I change the language of the mod pls ?

yes

a lot of words to be a stealth leper. I like the brigand quirk but don't like the class.

Yeah ditto the other comments when playing on Bloodmoon you're really picky with your heros and this one just doesn't cut it. I've got a ton of difficult bosses modded in to make it even harder so diluting the pool with weak characters isn't fun.

Is there a reason/need for this to overwrite the trait_library?

This mod used to be great. Now it's just talon bandits every other fight where they just volley and slice and dice my lvl 1 characters.

All the criticisms have been said more or less, I played through the mini-boss and it felt like a really difficult version of the Necromancer fight... fight was crazy hard, you're pretty much forced to abandon the mission when you're done with the fight so just hope your heroes don't have a heart attack? IDK if you're a masochist try it out.

she doesn't really provide anything to the table. i think i can say this is your worst character you've ever released. no hate but i like all your other charas.

While your job and idea is great, I don't see her any better than Arbalesta or Musketeer which are trash for me.She has not enough damage if u compare her with Houndamster, Grave Robber and other classic damage dealers and her utility in game where speed and damage matters is kinda meh. Also she is completely useless when gets shuffled into frontlines.

Sry but this class just doesn't provide anything worthwhile. Gotta remove it.

Is it just me or does Marked by the flock come up way too often?
I am only on week 4 and I gotten one MbtF quirk each week

Hello. I have killed talon's hostage during our 1st encounter. Will this fight appear again or have I actively blocked my progress with this quest/storyline?

Space's Campaign Thoughts...

This class was reworked, in it's current state it adds a ton to the game. A whole sleeping encounter storyline just like the shieldbreaker, dual skills, with a stance switching skill (that I wish didn't need to be slotted) Absolutely gorgeously animated. There's not much to add to what everyone else says, this is such a beautiful addition to the game and is basically base game quality if not greater. The power level seems very in line with Vanilla and she is very balanced. If you had to choose one Seo class to use, this is the one. 5/5 (B Tier)

bow classes are best classes^^ thanks for the mod

tried this one, she seems complicated at first but in essence she's really just a worse grave robber. a little disappointed

I agree with ichi about needing a damage buff, but this is also one of the best classes that ive played. I wish she could jump with flank from rank 4, so she could damage rank 1 enemy from here, because now its slightly awkward when there is only one non-maked low HP enemy that you cant kill.

Avian Offering is not worth :/
...but the class mod is great!!! 10/10

Can there be a standalone mod for the talon bandits? while i like the falconer, i end up feeling obligated to run her just for her enemies just like the paracausalist

I don't know why or how, but this aswell as your Lamia class mod (I disabled other mods and so on and only those two cause that) make my game crash when opening the jeweler inside the nomad wagon. Which is sad, because I sure do like your mods. I ofcouse have your shared assets mod, and your CoM trinkets mod pack DOES NOT cause the problem. The problem must therefore be something the Falconer and Lamia have in common.

This is absolutely unusable, I just get wiped by Talon merc every mission

Acually about 40% of my new recruits are marked by the flock please make this stop

Just started a new game and my first Vestal has marked by the flock... I can't hit these enemies with 13 dodge. Maybe not a good idea

Hi, I noticed that list contains russian language. I want to ask for advice on localization of mods for DD.
All I did was replace the original text with my own, but ran into an error. In description of two skills half of text is missing and / or not displayed completely.

How can this be fixed?

she accidentally killed the hostage grill
