Vetina Edit thread.

I would like the Splashmon of Marsh form to be removed, and I want this Super Mega added.


Super Mega: Miagemon Zero
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers
Type: Unknown

Abilities:

There is a booster on her back that doesn't allow for decent flight, but it can aid in air dashing or evasion, or falling slower to the ground. Alternatively she can hover off the ground.

Her skill set is limited, but potent. Even more so under moonlight. This form is also gives Vetina better reaction times and agility.

Neutral Defense: Vetina's defenses are completely neutral, and she cannot take any more or less damage due to any sort of type advantage or the like. However, this does not cover debuffs.

V-Cypher Buster: The Variable Cypher Buster changes to and from Cypher Sword and Phaser Pistol at will, allowing her to go from pure melee, pure ranged, or a balanced mix of both at will.

Attacks:

Aquakinesis (Will onto Life...): She can gather or summon up water from around her. This leads to a few variations...
---(...Given to Dance): Vetina can easily manipulate the water around her to aid in attacks or movement. So much so that doing this will not prohibit her from performing other attacks. Still, high leveled digimon generally can withstand water attacks of this type with little trouble...
---(...Changing Formless): She becomes able to compact water a bit, use as a pressurized stream, and as well flash freezing it. This require a bit of concentration, but acts as a move on its own.
---(...Still Moves): This allows Vetina to control large amounts of Ice of any sort.

Phaser Pistol: With her energy pistol she can fire off rapidly or charge for up to a turn, as well as ricochet shots off surfaces any way she pleases. Even the weaker shots are nothing to sneeze at.

Stasis Charge: Charging for a post, she can fire a shot than can stop an enemy for a post with stasis energy. Effect cannot be stacked.

Rain Shot: Charging for a post, she fires a green shot in the air, which splits off into a number of smaller explosive shots to cover a wide area. Area size and shot density varies on where in the air it explodes. The shot is powerful, especially the initial shot, but it prevents all use of the firing weapon for 2 turns afterwards, barring Cypher usage.

Cypher Sword: The energy coated blade can slash away small projectiles or slash through certain attacks as long as it isn't bigger than the sword, and the energy from the blade can extend the length of her sword to double. The sword itself has a side grip, making it resemble a tonfa (or for those who know, Strider Hiryu's sword).

Phantom Blade: The blade of her sword becomes translucent and purple and for three posts her slashes, while having no cutting power whatsoever, can slash through Digimon, hence the name. But the attack does less damage than normal slashes. The purpose of this is to weaken the structural integrity of armoring of any sort on a digimon. One slash isn't enough to heavily weaken armor, though, but it is based on how many times she can hit the opponent. One post cool down.

Rougetsuzan: Charging for two turns, she performs a circular slash around her. This will break an opponents weapon or shield... or limb. While her Cypher sword is still active, for the next turn it loses its special capabilities.

Summon a Doggy: A "TreeGarurumon" (just imagine a Garurumon but more... made of wood) creature sprouts up from the ground and attacks the opponent, biting them. Unfortunately, they are only about as strong as a normal Garurumon, have no attacks of their own, and are easily dispatched. But it might have its uses.

Aquakinesis is way too general and flexible for a single move. The fact that you even needed to break it into 4 separate move components says it all, really. Stasis Charge needs a cooldown, since it has a stunning effect. In addition, please put a cooldown and duration on Summon A Doggy.

Beyond that, this is fine.

I feel like aquakinesis is still way too much for a single ability. You can use hydrokinesis to do practically everything most water-based Digimon dedicate entire movesets toward. The fact that you can attack, apply heavy pressure, create obscuring smokescreens, and raise walls of ice without any cooldown or duration check is just too much. In addition, you mention absolutely nothing about durations and charges besides "requires a bit more concentration" on the second part of the move, making it sound less like effort and more completely trivial. I just can't accept a move that lets you use entire other Digimons' toolkits for free.

Corroborating with Slrar on this, it can stand as either a combat passive limited to Given To Dance effectiveness levels, or be revamped into an attack with far clearer definitions and limitations.

Fair enough on the second part. Stasis Charge is fine.

Summon A Doggy should still have a duration, cooldown, or at least some limitation just for the edge cases where it doesn't. Per its description, nothing is stopping you from raising one every post and getting a huge wolf army, or terrorizing a village of Rookies with a never-despawning tree monster. If it truly is an inconsequential ability, then there shouldn't be a problem with at least putting on a long duration and a short cooldown to add that light mitigation.

Regardless of practicality, it's still a move and needs to be defined by the limitations of a move. All I'm asking is for some high duration and some low cooldown so that it fits within our own required move templates.
