Dark Knight Megathread

Let me simplify what they wrote so it makes sense.

Cloud attacks fast despite having a giant sword.

Guts attacks fast despite having a giant sword.

DRK takes inspiration from both Cloud and Guts.

DRK should attack fast despite having a giant sword.

Thank you I was truly lost there now i get it
This makes sense yes Drk should be faster and not break their backs when swinging their blade

First, sorry for my awkward phrasing and thanks for clarifying it.

Second, yeah I think a mix of "slow, heavy movements" and "surprisingly quick phase" would work pretty well. That's kind of the feeling we had with the Haste buff before, and some attacks like Carve&Spit or old Delirium gave the feel of swinging the blade with more agility and speed than the standard 1 2 3 combo.

To the suggestion about Living Shadow from above, maybe an approach similar to Demi-Bahamut/Phoenix could work, while it's out the 1 2 3 changes for something different, faster etc.
There could be lots of stuff too to make DRK more distinct, have Salted Earth grant you a defensive buff while inside, generate 5 Blood per tick, per ennemy inside to get some ressource generation (so something like 25 Blood on a single enemy), etc etc...
