"From the darkling woods they come, On a cloven hoof and twisted claw. The Beastmen they are called, these ones; Less than human, yet also something more."
— From the Strange Tale of Doctor Malfeasant, Warhammer.
Link to the previous part:
Leopard Awakening Both Paths
Passive - Panther Coat: If the user uses Aura while Transformed, their leopard fur will turn pitch black and gain 1.5% of the benefits of Aura. The black flames in some of the attack have the same Aura color outline as the user.
Leopard Awakening Path 1 - Hybrid God
Focus: Transform into an ascended hybrid of man and beast.
[Z] - Path 1 - Hellfire Revolver: The user swings their fist and fires a black fireball that explodes on contact and leaves a lingering black fire trail behind. If the Z key is held, the user fires a barrage of air bullets beforehand.
Transformed (Hybrid Form): The fireball is bigger than the base and has a bigger AOE. The air bullets of the held variant now have slight tracking.
Transformed (Full Beast): The fireball is much slower, bigger and tracks foes. The held variant instead fires three homing fireballs. The user shoots it from their mouth instead.
[X] - Path 1 - Twisted Tempest: The user does a roundhouse kick motion and sends a large and fast tornado forwards. This tornado is much taller than Vanilla and sucks up foes in its path.
Transformed (Hybrid Form): The tornado is infused with black flames and deals lingering afterburn damage.
Transformed (Full Beast): The user runs quickly in a large circle and creates a giant tornado in the circle they run around.
[C] - Path 1 - Savage Assault: The user teleports in a zig-zag pattern and lets out a black fire roar that ignites the floor around them and makes earthen spikes jut out.
Transformed (Hybrid Form): The roar AOE is larger and is followed up by a secondary ground slam that can stun.
Transformed (Full Beast): The roar is now a cone forward that deals multiple hits of damage. The roar can also be held and aimed.
[V] - Path 1 - Hybrid Form: The user transforms into a muscle bound anthropomorphic leopard man with a mane of black flames down their back and over their shoulders, after unleashing a roar that knocks back entities that are too close. This form has less speed than vanilla but gains 15% damage reduction and 20% fruit damage.
[F] - Path 1 - Frenzy Step: The user teleports a short distance and kicks foes if they make contact. Basically the same as Vanilla but with black flame effects and more damage.
Transformed (Hybrid Form): The user flicks the foe away their finger instead and inflicts afterburn on them.
Transformed (Full Beast): The user leaps on the foe and tears at their throat before kicking them away.
Leopard Awakening Path 2 - Fully Fledged
Unleash the full beast and devastate your foes with blinding speed and sheer brutality.
[Z] - Path 2 - Dread Claws: The user swipes the hands and fires two diagonal waves of black fire that pierce foes.
Transformed (Full Beast): The user fires one diagonal wave with each claw before firing a larger horizontal wave with a swipe their tail.
Transformed (Hybrid From): The user fires two shorter-ranged lines of three diagonal waves that deal more damage but are slower.
[X] - Path 2 - Prey Upon: The user goes into a controllable sprint and hits an enemy they run into with a short burst of punches before launching them with a roundhouse kick.
Transformed (Full Beast): The user grabs the foe with their jaws and mauls them, digging into them with their claws and flailing them like a ragdoll before tossing them aside.
Transformed (Hybrid Form): The user thrusts both of their fists into the enemy's chest, a gout of black flames erupts from the foe's back, launching them away and inflicting afterburn.
[C] - Path 2 - Panther Fist: The user throws a barrage of punches before throwing a black flame infuse punch with the last hit.
Transformed (Full Beast): The user gnashes their leopard fangs and hits the foe with black flame projections of their teeth before launching them away with the last hit.
Transformed (Hybrid Form): The user dashes forwards with a fist wreathed in black fire and slams it down for an AOE explosion.
[V] - Path 2 - Full Beast; The user transforms into a full quadrupedal leopard with an arch of black flames over them. This form grants a larger speed boost than the Vanilla form (At a whopping 73% speed boost.), but no damage reduction, a 10% fruit attack boost, +2 Instinct charges, and near instant dash cooldown. The M1 for this form is roughly the same for all forms.
[F] - Path 2 - Maverick Bullet: The user darts in the direction they're facing while cloaked in black flames, hitting a foe will cause a large shockwave.
Transformed (Full Beast): If the user is on the ground, they will zoom along it with incredible speed.
Transformed (Hybrid Form): The user leaps a large distance instead, the AOE is greatly increased as scales with how much height they got in the leap.
I am done for now.
Tune in next time where we dig up some fossils.
Next: T-Rex.
Note: If you're wondering where the black flames come from. I guess it's supposed to be concentrated Aura...
