[Warframe Concept] Caedis

[Silarkar364]

Name: Caedis

Idea: "Caedis is a highly mobile and regenerative Warframe, but lacks in raw durability. Her abilities are based on morphing into various organic entities. As a Warframe with great power and speed she can easily make up for her lack in range."

Passive:
Metabolic
Caedis is capable of running farther on walls and at a faster rate.

Abilities:
1. Seed
Caedis plants a seed in front of her, soon maturing into a living pulp on the ground, breeding larvae to attack her enemies for as long as the pulp lives. Warframes can enter the pulp to regain health each second at the cost of their own energy.

2. Metamorphosis
Caedis morphs into an immobile pulp, capable of attacking enemies with immobilizing area attacks. She purges her shields but increases her health.

3. Corrupt
Caedis enters the body of a targeted enemy, controlling its movement for a duration. Once the duration expires, Caedis leaves the body, stunning the enemy, now standing at the enemy's current position, weakening the affected enemy. If the enemy dies before she leaves, Caedis will suffer half of her current health as damage.

4. Scourge
Caedis becomes scourge, inflicting anguish upon all enemies in the area. Enemies in the area will suffer damage each second. Caedis and all allies in the area regenerate health.

Morpher
When Anguis is at max energy, her shields recover at a +100% rate. If Anguis has no shields, her energy recovers at a rate of 1% a second (Does not stack with/overrrides Energy Siphon. Stacks with all other mods).

Abilities:

Cost: 25 (affected by power effiency mods)
Range: 25m (not affected by power range mods. Multiple Pulps connect, making possibilities for large AoE. Larvae move at about 2m a second. Larvae get +50% base speed per additional pulp)
Pulp health: 100/150/200/250 (affected by power strength mods)
Larvae damage: 20/25/30/40 Viral damage (affected by power strength mods. Cannot proc. If a larvae cannot find a target within 2s it dies (Note find, not reach))
Max amount of larvae: 4/6/8/12 (not affected by power strength mods)

Duration until matured: 2s (not affected by power duration mods. Cannot mature more than 1 pulp at a time)
Breeding time: 0.75s (not affected by power duration mods)
Health regen: 1/2/3/5% (not affected by power strength mods. Warframes are immobile and immune to damage while inside, but can't perform any actions except leave the pulp. Costs the Warframe 5% of max energy each second (not affected by power effiency mods). Only one Warframe at a time. Removes aggro from Warframe. Costs 25 energy to enter and gain first regen (not affected by power effiency mods))
Cast time: 0.5s (affected by power cast mods. Mobile while cast. Can't perform other actions. Must be cast while on ground)
Animations:
Casts a seed on the ground in front of her. It will visually mature into a fully grown pulp. When a warframe enters, the pulp opens while they go inside. The warframe is immune to damage)
Ability Mod Suggestion:
Hardened Chitin: Pulps have 15/30/45/60% more health.

From Steam thread ... (Anguis = Caedis. Larvae = Seed)

hmhm, if 4 of these... "anguis" were on a team and spammed larvae....

now thats horrifying.............for the enemy and possibly the match server

Now now, I'll explain what my vision for this ability is, from a technical standpoint.

I know that some hosts could experience problems if 4 Anguis spammed Seed. Therefore the larvae are not to be seen as entities by themselves. The Pulp is the entity. The larvae are just 'projectiles' - They have no hitboxes (special 'projectiles' as normal missiles do have hitboxes, and can be destroyed), are 'homing' (following a direct path towards a set enemy, but circling around obstacles), are a bit slower than normal missiles (larvae are crawling). These 'missiles' will then they hit the enemy, latch onto it and deliver a damage over time effect, dealing their specfied damage each second. They can't be hit, and can be walked through (no NPC collision). They can only die if the pulp dies, as specified in the description. When an individual target dies, the related larvae move onto the next

Thanks for reading :)

EDIT: Also, I forgot to say, it says the max amount of larvae, not 'per pulp'. Sorry if you conceived it that way. Multiple pulps are just to speed up the process of breeding.

"I know this will not solve the potential issue, but it should reduce the load."

Your concept looks interesting, but his ult in kind of OP. Also, could you precise if his powers are affected by duration / range mods (you kind of did but just replace "power" with these) ;)

Please define. Is it a mechanic? Is it a stat? Multiple? Both? And by how large a margin?

 

EDIT: Also, have now written exactly which power modifications affect which aspects of an ability, for your convenience.

 

EDIT2: Also adjusted some stats and functions.
