Ignore helicopter, done for fun.
So, me and my friend was playing Lumina x Permia on Malice, and i have some things to say.
- First, there is a problem were ACT names mismatch ones in upgrade abilities. For example Lustherbeasts "Torn Apart" mentiones some "Monarchic Embrace". Same with "Heliophagia", "Lure Insignia" and "Molten Gold". Overall it is possible to understand which upgrade correlate to which ACT, but still, confusing.
- Lustherbeast in particular. In my opinion, while being the swiftest unit in whole antihouse, it have too much unconditional damage and unreasonable amount of defense. Its too easy to go directly into enemy lines, and start to kill them, and drag into illumination, while barely taking damage (in my situation 0 damage in 3 rounds, while stading in direct proximity to enemy). Maybe, it would be reasonble to make unit more vulnarable(less DF, no ARM) and put "On Hit" condition on "Aeon Grasp".
- Similar over-survivability problem also occurs with Necromancer and Hunter. These two are just hard to hit, and very hard to graze, especially if opposing side cant debuff them. So removing ARM, and/or lowering DEF i believe could fix this.
- I havent done this in our game(due to Permia Necromancer shenanigans), but i believe it could be a good idea to change "Grasping Branch", and add conditions. Like inability to grab necromancer. Because i think its to strong, to ignore whole push/pull thing, and simply teleport anybody(especially necromancer) wherever it is easier for you to kill them. Maybe also, add illumination based condition, like "Target must be on illuminated tile".
- I am not sure about this, but it could be a good idea, if more units spawned candles on lower(1,2) HP. It can make abilities that heal candles more valuable, and make new candles way more manageable for opponent. Because in current situation it is easier to spam new full HP candles, than maintain existing ones. And for opponnet, it is unfavorable to do anything against candle spam.
Overall, i love main idea, mechanic of this antihouse(always was a big fan of anything candle-themed) and art. Also each units distinct role on battlefield made building team for me way easier than with any other homebrew house. The only thing that its needs to be even better, is little bit of polishing to be great stats-wise.
P.S. Also, want to say something as TTS player. Candles are very shaky, and it is takes some time and effort to arrange and lock them, without falling over, especially when there is a lot of terrain. Not a real issue, jut something that i wanted to whine about.
