Merc (Recon Idea)


(Discordic) #1

Name: Artemis
Type: Recon
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Nationality: Greek

Health: 100 or 110
Sprint: 420

“You know, the last guy laughed at me just like that when he found out I use a bow. Want to know what he sounds like now? like he has an arrow through his throat.”

Artemis’s father always wanted a son he could teach the ways of the hunt. When his wife died during her birth, he decided that she would be good enough. Every archery and hunting competition she entered she would demolished her opponents and their records. Her father was very pleased, but she quickly grew bored. Hunting wild animals and shooting still targets grow boring after awhile. One day she was approached by an individual who offered her a job to retrieve something in fallen London. She accepted the job, and went to London with her bow. At first the other mercenaries laughed, why would you use a bow over a gun? They don’t laugh now, instead they get nervous when the see her bow.

Ability 1: Explosive Arrow Head (Q)
Damage - 90
AoE - 100 to 120 (Small range, skill shot)
Cool-down Time - 20-30 sec
Detonates after 5 sec (Can be prematurely detonated with Q )
CANNOT INSTAGIB (meaning you can be downed but revived)
STILL DOES DAMAGE ON HIT (but no head-shot damage multiplier)
Damage wise its between Nader (75) and Fragger (150)

Ability 2: Tranquilizer Arrow Head (E)
Cool-down time - 10-15 sec (May need to be higher to prevent spamming)
Artemis fires an arrow that cuts the movement speed of the target by 30% - 50% for 3 - 5 seconds and highlights them for all allies. Does no damage to target. (Something with this range should work)

Main Weapon: Compound bow called “The B08R” (The Boar)

How it works
A quick shot does the same as the PDP-70 (45 body, 90 head) but if you hold the shot it can charge up to do the same damage as the Fel-ix (79 body, 158 head). This would allow her to be a more combative sniper than one that camps. would need to work on how fast she can ready a shot (fire rate) and how long it takes to draw for maximun damage (Charge shot). A full charge shot travels father than one fired quickly.

Secondary: Caulden, M9 or DE .50

Melee: Stilnotto Stiletto, Cricket bat or Beckhill Combat Knife

What she looks like: No idea

@Discordic I am sorry but i cant take Bow and arrow character seriusly :confused:

Hmm … i like this, but her 2nd skill should do some damage even if it’s just light damage, also since she’s using a bow, what is the travel time on her arrows and does she need to draw the bow for max damage/range/speed ?

Cool, so I wasn’t the only one who thought of this. Thought her up after playing as Artemis on smite a lot. Like the idea of a explosive boa.

I am not quite sure what the speed of the bullets are in game so I can’t give an actual number on how fast but since its an arrow I would say slightly slower. Not by too much but enough to keep it realistic.

As for max damage/range/speed yes she would have to fully draw the bow. Based on how much it is drawn back (how long you hold your mouse button down for) is how much damage you will do. Should think of a way for player to see how much damage the shot will cause. (maybe LED lights near sights or something like that.)

Bullets don’t have a travelspeed, because the projectile’s aren’t modelled. They’re Hit Scan.

Thank you, i hope the Devs take a look at this soon.
