You analyze the viridian bodysuit and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
* Twisted Armor – Acid Edition *
Available Actions
* BOW
* CLENCH
* RUB
* TILT
* WEAR | REMOVE
Merchants that are skilled with this type of armor may customize the following:
* Glow (color): “green”
* Core (article): “a glyph-etched”
* Core (noun): “crystal”
* Effect: “virescent” (fumes)
** Flares: (not unlocked)
Combat Unlocks:
– Unlocks increase the potential of abilities gained from previously unlocked tiers.
** Twisted Retaliation (PROD): NOT UNLOCKED
– Chance for a reactive maneuver flare (acid) when struck by, or evading, an attack or bolt.
– Toggle ON/OFF with PROD. Removing the armor will toggle flares OFF.
– Will only flare this way while in an aggressive stance.
*** Twisted Augmentations : NOT UNLOCKED
– Chance for a bonus to defense against hostile warding spells.
– Chance for a penalty to maneuver abilities used against you.
– Will only activate while in an aggressive stance.
**** Twisted Synergy (TOUCH): NOT UNLOCKED
– Bonus to flare chance of your Twisted Armor, Twisted Shield, and Twisted Weapon abilities.
– Removing the armor will immediately end the bonus granted by Twisted Synergy.
– Twisted Synergy lasts for 60 seconds and has a 30 minute cooldown.
Twisted Retaliation must be unlocked to enable the Flares customization.
More:
OTS stats: +20 with standard acid flares (category B), and the included fluff actions/customizations.
T2: Twisted Retaliation uses an SMR check for its flare (Category D) to hit, dealing acid damage when it does. This can occur when you evade an attack/bolt, or when hit by such an attack. When hit, this ability can resolve in addition to the standard acid (Category B).
T3: Twisted Augmentations provides a chance to gain +5 TD against hostile warding spells (does not work against unique creature abilities), and also has a chance to penalize maneuvers used against the wearer by 5. Additionally, Twisted Retaliation gains a bonus to its SMR check to hit.
Re: T3 Flare: it’s a standard flare rate chance to occur
that’s about all I can say on the chances
These will be sold at the shop, Coalescence, in Bloodriven Village. I’ll tease more and answer questions during SimuCon.
Not available as a script add (at this time)
the armor is intended to tie it together as a set if you unlock it to T4.
since the buff/cooldown ability affects all unlocked twisted gear
Retaliation Flare: It can flare when you evade, or are hit by an attack or bolt spell. Specifically, this requires an AS vs DS resolution.
It should work against any PSM (cman/shield/weapon) abilities and spells that require SMR success to hit. Earthen Fury and various bandits may or may not have been used in testing. Hehe.
