Fanframe: Chameleon (Stealth/support)

[GTG3000]

Chameleon warframe

 

A female warframe, influenced by ancient earth lizards, that was created to infiltrate and work behind enemy lines. Her abilities allow the player to stealth his way through the level without even wasting any ammo or energy, as well as play a full-out berserk.

 

Stats

 

Health: 75

Power: 150

Armor: 50

Shield capacity: 75

Shield Recharge: 18.8

Sprint Speed: 1.6

Polarities: 4x Scratch, 1x D and 1x V

 

Abilities

 

Ability A: Blood pump

mc 4 pc 25

Upon use, the ability substracts a fixed amount of health (20? 25?), in exchange increacing warframes' speed of attack and of sprint, along with replenishing stamina that will be constantly drained. Running out of stamina ends the effect, however using the ability again while it's still active makes the effect stack.

Levelling increaces stack limit and the health price.

 

Ability B: One of them

mc 6 pc 50

Activating this ability allows the Chameleon to blend in with her surroundings, mimiking an enemy while she is moving. However moving depletes her shields, and immobility turns her invisible, what will alert any enemies that happen to stare at the fellow grineer trooper to suddenly disappear. The ability lasts while the shield does, with levelling decreacing the movement cost. Allows for a guaranteed stealth attack even on alerted enemy, but ends as soon as any attack is made. 

 

Ability C: Scale armour

mc 6 pc 50

Generates armour, that prevents shields from restoring, but reduces the damage they take. Stacks similarly to ability A, draining an increaced (in units of 25) amount of shield every time, in return providing 50% more protection.

Levelling inreaces stack limit.

//needs balance. Could be worth it to drain only 25 shield every time.

 

Ability D Deep meditation

mc 10 pc 100

Gecko sits down.

And meditates the hell out of it.

All warframes in the same, or adjadjent, rooms with Chameleon gain her "One of them" ability, that acts same to the one she has equipped, e.g. - provides stealth at the price of the shields. The meditation continues until a movement key is pressed, giving 50% bonus to melee damage and received affinity to the three other frames. Chameleon ability lasts after the meditation is cancelled, but without the damage bonus.

 

Alt-abilities

 

Moving the Blood Pump instead of Scale armour...

Ability A: tongue leash

mc 2 pc 10

Chameleon fires a leash from her left arm, attouching it to enemy or scenery. The leash then retracts, either giving her a significant boost and acting as a vine over a pitfall, or pulling her towards an enemy, while knocking the other over. If the player manages to be precise enough, this ability may disarm a foe.

 

Ability A: poison spit

mc 2 pc 10

Chameleon fires a poison projectile, that deals minor damage, with a chance to paralize the target. The chance increaces with targets' health going down, essentially becoming 100% after certain threshold.

Levelling increaces the threshold of 100%

 

Deep Meditation A: 

All warframes in the same/adjadjent room gain additional armour protection and attack speed/damage, as well as additional experience, all scaling up from 10% to 25% (or to 40%, depending on scaling).

 

Deep meditation B:

Chameleon slaves her advanced sensory system data to fellow tenno, allowing them to deal increaced damage at increaced speed to the targets she attacked.

Noep, no sketches. Any artists, willing to waste their time on this?

*le bump*

[mupwe]

I know this bumps it as well, but did you seriously just bump your own thread? This isn't 4chan, people are actually trying really hard to get ratings.

[GTG3000]

Yup, just did so as well. I could explain, but that'd sound like whining over certain differencies I have from a mentally stable person, so I'll go with "that's the way it is.".

[Archangelzz]

well mupwe is right some of us are trying to get ratings and get our ideas into the game if your not serious about that then don't post

[GTG3000]

Because DE just automatically implements any idea with a good enough rating, apparently. Funny thing, bumps are probably doing nothing anyway since most DE looks through the forum using search by keywords, not to mention that no matter how much replies and bumps there are, idea gets noticed and considered the same on the basis of what DE wants to do with the game.

 

I do want my ideas to make it into the game. But this is not my game, and I'm just some f2player, so I'm being reasonable and realistic about the chances of that happening. Now, if you don't have anything to say about the suggestion itself, stop bumping it.

Sadly, if she gets low speed, she has to either have an INSANE CC/AoE/whathave you abilities to make up for that, or be the tankiest tank there is.

Let's just assume that if you try to cosplay something that is long died out and is barely referenced, you don't put it's natural drawbacks into your super-ninja suit.

Although admittedly, blood pump ability could allow her to have slower base speed, but of course not as slow as rhino.

Just wanted to say "whee, ability a bit like one I suggested is in the game".
