Effesta

Description
Requires MoreLuaPower.

Adds an original character, a scythe-wielding vampire huntress.


-Spellblade-
Uses an artifact that causes your weapon to become enchanted after casting spells with certain properties (i.e. Frost, Fragile, Crack, Shield, etc.) which will cause your next weapon attack to have that property. For spells with multiple properties (such as Amalgam) a property is chosen at random.

This kit can also find a unique spell upgrade that will enhance the magic weapon effect (increased stacks, AoE, etc.)


-Hunter-
Has a weapon that sends your current spells to the bottom of your deck, allowing you to rearrange your deck on the fly. This works well with various combo cards, such as salamander, jam slam, rings, etc.


-Reunited-
A unique kit that has a tag-character mechanic, as Effesta teams up with her sister, Tida (currently a red-haired palette swap but full sprite set to be made in the future).

When you shuffle (or if one of them dies) you will swap to the other character. They have separate max HP, current HP, and weapons, but share artifacts and spells. However, each spell in your deck is assigned to one sister or the other. You can change the assignments on the deck screen. This allows you to set up consistent combos by swapping between them effectively. They also shuffle slightly faster than other characters.

This kit also has a unique "Sunbrand" status that causes enemies to explode when detonated. They can also find the SB upgrade which will add Sunbrand to a spell (uses the same conditions as the "A" upgrade).


-Vengeance- (NEW)
An admittedly-not-thoroughly-tested kit to show off the Custom Bars functionality I added to MPL. Has very low starting HP and a special "Revenge Guage". Taking damage fills the guage, and when full, your next weapon attack will heal you and strike hit enemies with lightning.



--- If you don't see a kit, try unsubbing -> resubbing -> restarting the game.
--- If the kits aren't working, make sure you have the latest MoreLuaPower by unsubbing -> resubbing to that as well

Very cool mechanic with Reunited, but for some reason I moved cards around and all the cards vanished from both decks?

I'm playing this game tonight no matter what. I gotta try out her new kit and Tile Palace. Her redone sprites look great. Got something to look forward to after work.

Added her 3rd kit! Apologies if you encounter any bugs with it, as usual every mod I try to make is crazy. I promise this one is well-tested but you can never be 100% sure.

See the vid + description for how it works!

I gotta try the Tile Palace still. Haven't played the game in a little bit. It looks neat. I'm looking forward to it.

Right now I'm working on a 3rd kit for Effesta which should be very unique compared to anything else currently in the game. If you seen The Tile Palace, the other thing I'm currently working on, you know how crazy my ideas can get =)

If you're looking for advice feel free to ping me in the One Step From Eden discord! My name there is DecoyDoge. It's a great community with a bunch of artists and modders who'd be happy to help with whatever.

Nice! What other mod are you working on, and any chance you might make a small write-up on what you've learned about sprite work? I'm interested in getting back into it, but haven't messed around with it for over two decades since I was in high school back in early 2000s haha
Corona has really dredged up some odd hobbies X_x

As a brief announcement, I've been working on other mods but am finally getting back to Effesta. Currently a sprite rework is in the works. I've learned a bit about spriting and animating in the meantime so hopefully I can give her a nice facelift - image attached with the before & after.

Oh jeeze, nice update! That's a cool mechanic. You got some some creative ideas man.

She has a custom upgrade now, (MW), or (enhanced Magic Weapon). Check the Change Notes for more details or just try it out :SaffronHappy:

Thanks to everyone who's tried her out so far =) been distracted a little lately but still intending to update her sprites and gameplay soon.
