[MERC] Cana

(Griflyth) #1

“Cana is a former special operations canine handler. Together with her trusty companion Biscuit* she was responsible for the safety of her teammates. After an unfortunate accident involving Biscuit and the CO’s dinner, she decided it was time for her to find her fortune elsewhere. “

*Name up for discussion.

Stats:
Health: 100
Speed: 440-450
Class: Recon

Main weapon: Stark AR, BR-16
Secondary: M9, Selbstadt.40
Melee: Kukri, Beckhill combat knife

Ability 1: Biscuit Scout

Cana’s dog scouts ahead, passively marking enemy targets and deployables/explosives.
Duration: 20 seconds
Cooldown: 30 seconds

Ability 2: Kill command

Cana orders her dog to attack the targeted enemy.
Damage: 60
Cooldown: 30 seconds

I came up with this idea after watching a documentary about war dogs, realizing there are more of them then I would’ve thought. I purposely didn’t put stats on the dog due to me not knowing how to balance it. Maybe the dog gets a lot of HP, and cana gets less? Ability duration/Cooldown also up for discussion. Suggestions are welcome.

“hey look, that guy is using the dog ability from behind a wall again.”
“just shoot it.”

“dammit, now to wait for cooldown again.”

basically:

  1. its a dog. i’d shoot it.
  2. i can totally see people camping somewhere and using the ability only and not doing much else. they might learn very quick its useless, but every other match we still find a guy who runs with his primary, doesnt throw ammo, doesnt repair the EV, doesnt rez you etc.

I see where you’re coming from, but the dog is a tool, not the weapon itself. and ofcourse you could choose to only use your abilities but then you basically get only 60 dmg every 30 seconds. in my mind even the “newest” player would recognize that’s not the way to go. As for the i’ll just shoot the dog argument… great… now i know where you are and the dog did his job.
