Excaliburdragon, aka swordy, is in dire need of a buff. Its moveset and stats don’t match its niche, so I have a few ideas for its moveset to make it work better.
The idea is simple: Make it a good solo powerhouse.
For this, I propose that the devs change the moveset to make it more viable on its own, and cut off strategies that rely on support.
Unmovable > Stun skin
This skill would stun any enemy that attacks this monster for 10 TU. This would make it harder to launch concentrated assaults on this monster, increasing its chances of surviving to heal itself.
Aegis Shield > Instant Crescendo Charge
This skill gives the user one crescendo charge, and has a 200 TU cooldown. That is to say, it can be used once every 200 TU, and has unlimited uses, thus allowing this monster to grow stronger slowly, even while still keeping itself alive.
Stun Pulse > Slash
Slash is a single target version of slash all, and would ignore shields, defense, protect, and HG, while dealing about 700 damage. It would cost 120 TU. This one is honestly just a nerf, but it would both make Swordy much worse for support, and would also make it a solid counter to tank/glass cannon combos, which I otherwise think would pose a serious problem.
15 TU increase to Healing Light
This one is also a straight nerf, but it would stop this monsters from becoming too difficult to kill.
This would make is a powerful monster that works well in many situations, but it does seem very powerful, so some alterations could probably be made. Still, overall, I think that this would make it work much better at its intended role of being a powerful, balanced crescendo monster.
What do you think?
