Guqin Class Mod

Description
Introduces the glass cannon & support class, Guqin.


Class Introduction

The Guqin is a trained musical performer wielding a hybrid weapon that is part crossbow and part guqin, an ancient musical instrument of which the class is named after. Due to the prototype nature of her weapon, it deteriorates quickly with repeated use.

In combat the Guqin functions as a glass cannon, wrecking havoc onto the enemy backline while healing and bestowing buffs on her allies. She is prone to getting 'one-shotted', heavily relying on her party to guard her.

Pros:
  • High damage, especially against the enemy backline.
  • Can play the support role.

Cons:
  • Very low HP and SPD.
  • Defensively weak. Lacks skills/trinkets that adds Dodge, PROT, HP, or Aegis.
  • Reliant on being guarded.



Combat Skills
(For detailed stats, please refer to the images provided above)

1. Longbow - Basic long ranged attack. Bonus armor penetration if Guarded. Each shot deteriorates her weapon which lasts until the end of battle. Debuff cannot be removed.

2. Blitz - Back 1. Bypasses Stealth, adds ACC, and a buff to Leechbolt's Heal for 1 round. Each use deteriorates her weapon which lasts until the end of battle. Debuff cannot be removed.

3. Countersong - Forces an ally to guard her, reducing the ally's stress for a small amount while applying a "Can't be Marked" buff on that ally for 3 rounds. The guard lasts 1 Battle.

4. Lullaby - Heals a party member or herself. Bonus healing if guarded.

5. Harpoon - weaker melee attack with Knockback 2.

6. Leechbolt - A life-siphoning shot that heals the Guqin, with a small chance to heal allies. Each shot deteriorates her weapon which lasts until the end of battle. Debuff cannot be removed.

7. Dissonance - Stuns an enemy, then Clears Stun from her party.

Trinkets



Gameplay tidbits
- Guqin has abysmal Stats in certain places, starting with only 15 HP and -2SPD.
- Guqin shares the Performance Hall (Crimson Court building) with the Jester.
- With the CoM update that adds on-crit bonuses, Guqin gains a +5% Ranged DMG bonus that lasts for 1 Battle each time she scores a Crit, to offset her weapon deterioration.
- Guqin benefits greatly from a Guarding party member (vanilla or modded).

Her guard skill lasts forever, wich is a bit unfair. Otherwise nice class.

Not a bad class, but guard duration shown is bugged

So I usted her with some other mods like the ruler its basically broken.
So I changed the ruler with the duelist and its pretty good a little risky and the combo Is a little harder to pull but really good.
In any case the guard mechanic can be pretty broken with mods... So I tried with highwayman and Man at arms even that was good not broken but not weak a really well done and balanced mod.
About the art Is pretty nice it merges really well with the game it isnt that out of place.
About the trinkets idk still i didnt get one.
But overall a good mod.

I don't have any good ideas for CC trinkets so not for now, sorry. There are however two CoM trinkets available in the wagon.
