The Machinist's Chess Pieces

[EdwinLi]

So I notice how the Turrets of Machinist is based on chess pieces.

We have...

Rook = Single target range turret / TP regen

Bishop = AoE Close range turret / MP regen

I'm going to assume the Giant Turret from the MCH LB is named "King" :3

So what do you think the next turret or turrets may be and their functions?

I'm guessing...

-Queen - A Turret that attacks by shooting a Column AoE attack. Can be out at the sametime as all turrets. In Support Mode it cause a small Vulnerability debuff to all enemies in range.

-Knight - a Turret that attach/follow to the Machinist that provide a strong single target attack. Can be used when Rook and Bishop is out but replace Pawns if Pawns are being used. In Support Mode it provides Healing Regen to the Machinist base on the Machinist's attack power.

-Pawns - summon 4/8 mini turrets that attach/follow to each party member each hitting that player's target with a single target attack. Can be used when Rook or Bishop is out as well but replace Knight if Knight is being used. In Support Mode it provides a boost in healing recieved.

- King - A Turret that takes 90% of the Enmity the Machinist generates into itself. It has High HP and Defense with a Small Cone AoE Attack. Support Mode cause King to provide a small defense boost. Replace Queen if Queen is out.

I read the Pawn's turret and honestly I wonder why that isn't in the game right now, that is brilliant.

No that's just me.

In terms of chess piece prowess, that would be a queen.

King would probably be a Tank turret since in chess you aim for the King.

It wouldn't attack but just taunt single targets.
Support could be multi target taunts?

Yeah, a king is kind of useless on chess. Got to protect it at all costs.

Guess that would be a good reason for King to be the Tank Turret

King pew pews with his enmity skill while we Machinist try to kill the enemy before they kill the king.

Oh and I added King to the list.

king before the queen was buffed half a millennium ago :3

I think the Machinist himself is the "King" piece, commanding all the other pieces(turrets).

I just can't help but feel if Machinist was to get the Pawns Turrets from my post things would end up like this with the entire part....
