📡 New Hero Concept - Shirudo : The Hijacker

Can you see it? They stand shrouded in all their cloaks and shields, hoping their hollow shell saves them. Their weakness is in the very thing they encase themselves in, the crutch they lean on.

An enimatic figure, Shirudo rarely interferes in situations that don’t benefit himself, seeking isolation and independence from law and faction alike. His one goal is straightforward: Rid the country of warring powers and establish true, anarchic freedom for the common people.

Orphaned at a young age, his early years were filled with petty crimes and rebelliousness, often using his tinkering talents for minor theft and vandalism. It would bring him into the company of an extremist group known as the Restoration where he grew in his criminality and skills.

Shirudo participated in many acts of sabotage against other factions, but the Restoration’s recklessness eventually came at a cost. A disastrous ambush left the group scattered and annihilated, with Shirudo fleeing to the inner city to hide.

He found no place in any faction. It would bring him to a place of solitude, stealing equipment to grow in his knowledge of shielding and exploitation. But it’s here that he finds the most peace, growing and living a truly anarchic lifestyle. It makes life all the more interesting.

Another shield-counter hero would be cool to see. Looks interesting.

This games needs more shield counters. Bronze and Silver abilities seem pretty sweet. That gold ability might be a bit OP if it has so many debuffs, even with a 10% chance. Maybe instead of resetting skills, deplete current charge by half. Lose the ammo deplete - seems to harsh - leave the cleanse effect and increase the odds to 20%.

Still, very cool

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! I’ve never noticed the ammo deplete personally, but I know the skill cooldown can be a bit brutal. I tried to balance 8 seconds with 10% each second.

(Also changed the song btw)
