I don't quite understand why these boots are overtuned to such a degree. They grant almost 20% blunt resistance and basically counter all forms of knockdown in the game — one of tank builds' biggest weaknesses. Pair an Elytra with Kip Up from Marital Artist or Roc's Rise from Firebird, and you get one of the more annoying setups right now, especially if you're dodgy and you risk losing Evasion for simply attempting a knockdown.

I'm not sure if it's intended, but Raijinken → Sharenzan and Rising Tide → Chaser trigger Elytra's knockdown effect, despite the fact it pushes the user outside of 1 range and ignores knockback immunity because they're airborne.

I think most of issue lies with the free knockdown counter which can possibly be remedied by instead basing the activation on some kind of UL percent chance, rather than a consistent 100% chance. Or perhaps, the knockdown counter effect can be negated if the user is airborne.

The blunt resistance granted could honestly also be toned down to UL, a max of 12% instead of 18%, and still will be considered good.

I really hope I'm not asking for a lot, and I'm almost positive this was asked for already and I suck as navigating forums, but can KO'd youkai automatically be brought back to 1 HP after a fight?
I know bleeding hearts exist and it's awesome that one of them restores all of your youkai at once, but there's no reliable way to obtain them, so if the above is not to anyone's liking, maybe we can have a shop somewhere that sells bleeding hearts...regardless of how morbid that sounds?

A few races in the game are severely lacking in mechanical appeal, when compared to the others available.  And while I don't think it's possible to perfectly balance every single race in all instances, I think there are a few outliers that could really use some more love.  I wanted to briefly offer my thoughts on those race choices, below:

Humans: 

Alright buds, there we have it. Ol' Jackie-chan. This gun, being a launcher-type, no longer got any real utility in the game at all, no classes endorsing the use of this type of weaponry (besides the combination of Kensei/Magic Gunner, pre-rework of the former which compensated the hit and damage, which is no longer a thing), horrible base stats (especially accuracy) and the only upside is AoE. Even with Galdric, which is the material for accuracy, it doesn't help it even reach 80%. This is kind of bad.

For instance, the one I'm using is fully upgraded, capped to the maximum with all parts I could slot in that didn't debuff it into worse.



Even with 55 Scaled SKI I'm unable to make the damage be high enough to match the rest of my weaponry. Or hell, even a basic 1* Handgun from a shop, with no upgrades. Look right below.






So, could its Stat Scaling be increased to 90% SKI and the Critical Damage to 120%? The 55 base Hit and 0 base Critical, which is incredibly tiny both, already balances the fact I will never hit anyone with this junk, outside of using its potential skill that cannot be used fluidly due to costing 4M and reducing its AoE range.

Instead of having the old system of initiative where the start of fights could lead to immediate knockouts or the new version where CEL only affects initiative teamside (thus actually making it a hindrance in some cases) we could go for a deepening chaotic battle kind deal: each round into the battle would take the next-highest initiative battler and place them at the top of the initiative tracker. This is already technically true on round zero; the first person to go first will have the highest initiative . However, with this method round one will have the two highest initiatives go first with the rest being sorted back-and-forth. Round two would have the three highest, etc. This would represent people with a high initiative taking more well to the ensuing chaos of a fight, valuing CEL in longer fights while avoiding first-turn TPKs.

Short and simple thread.

Like how summoning a youkai can have a custom seed animation attached to it, can installing the very same youkai play the same animation as summoning it, but over top of the summoner instead?

As the title goes, the Potential Skill from Forgrint, Fallenharn, is ignoring Evasion for some reason. Its counterpart potential skills don't, for reference, and the skill tooltip shows nothing about it being intentional.




Additionally, if you use Fallenharn twice in the same spot it will glitch out, leaving the so called 'Fallen Angel glitch' in the field, forever, until reboot.







AWOKE.

This is more a quality of life suggestion. Something similar to help with a certain set of weapons.

Forgrint
Grandovyn
Rexys

The Shifter tomes. At times when you shift them, you lose track of what form they're in if you aren't paying close attention to the small icon next to Attack/Sub Attack Command. If your eyesight isn't that well or you're not focusing, sometimes you'll overlook it.

Quality of life change: A indicator at the left counter where Ki, Black luck, and so on are located. This one is for the Shifters to let people know what form their weapon is in.

Forgrint - A small long sword icon to indicate the weapon is in sword form.
Grandovyn - A small spear sword icon to indicate the weapon is in spear form.
Rexys - A small axe sword icon to indicate the weapon is in Axe form.

With it being a lot bigger and insight, it'd help people tell if they're transformed or not.

Before I talk about this, here's a note. Sorry for there being no swarms yet. Functionality for making stuff using existing mobs is not where it would need to be to successfully pull one off proper, without it feeling lackluster. Therefore, I'll be mitigating this by making completely original mobs - which obviously takes more time, and requires more sprites.

Thank you for your time on that matter.

Now, onto the event itself - It consists of groups of four (perfect for a full team, yes, I know), and runs in a manner that means you essentially sign up to have the name of a character put into a wheel. The wheel will at random pick 4 when it's time to run an event, and I'll then come and check your interest, as well as arrange dates with the four of you.

The one twist is that, through this method you will not know who you're going to interact with until you've been selected. In essence, you'll be forced to quite possibly interact with people you don't normally interact with. This requires stepping out of your comfort zone to nurture new bonds and friendships, and gives opportunities to characters who want to meet others to do so without being drowned out by the crowd.

Scenes follow a basic but personalised formula. The four of you will be invited by a mysterious messenger on a trip. It could be to a mountain, a forest, a desert - honestly, the landscapes will be completely random, too, to make every experience uniques. You'll overcome hurdles, spend time together, and possibly work together to fight something. Basically, a small four person event that gives you the opportunity to show off your character to others and really make an impact.

By the end of each event, I want those who met up to remember something about one another going forward - and hopefully develop new IC friendships out of it. Or maybe there'll be rivalries, instead? The opportunities are endless.

Here's the form. You can submit multiple characters (no more than three at most, please) but if you're drawn multiple times I will respin. I'll also try to avoid having the same person in events back to back.

Giving me information about your character (hobbies, strengths, weaknesses, etc) will help me personalise the event to you. Not everything will be finalised when I draw names for that reason. Giving these events a custom touch to let everyone shine is a very important factor, after all.




On the off chance you're put with someone you really don't like, my advice is to tell me you're no longer willing to do the event if it will be a problem. I will re-spin, but I am unfortunately not willing to stop someone from taking part because someone doesn't like them in the particular batch. In the off chance of an extraordinary case, we'll see what happens.

Please do not bring characters you don't want to bond with to the event. It's not here for you to cause trouble with by bringing a villain or someone you want to cause drama with, for example.
