[New Augments: Chroma as a tank?]

Hurray. I can't wait to try it out.
It can the solve the Overguard problem. It may be more reliable than combat discipline, but probably still need to use both.
Though, I hope its not like teammates take 10,000 damage, you take 5000 direct health damage ignoring what ever armor damage reduction you have.

[A proposed Lavos Augment]

That would be fun to experiment with

[Chroma buff done right, a rework to his passive, spectral scream and effigy]

For the Passive:
I don't think we need to design his passive to take damage for the purpose of building up his Scorn and Fury. I feel that the best way to build up Scorn and Fury should be additional gain from casting his other abilities or doing something else:

• Using Spectral Scream builds up Scorn or Fury based on the element used. 
• Holding Vex Armor cause Chroma to roar, building up 1% or 2% of total max Scorn and Fury (example if 1200% is max, 12%/24% is gain per second during his roar)
• Inflicting Heat/Toxin/Electric/Cold status builds up Scorn or Fury.

The problem is the initial setup to getting Max Scorn and Fury. The biggest reason why is because Chroma need to get hurt and trying to get hit is unreliable. Even with Combat Discipline, Chroma suffer from other people using Combat Discipline, causing Overguard,  causing invincibility, causing enemies to explode before Chroma kills them, or just killing enemies way too fast.

Passive: Lol Chroma's passive is kinda lame. It's fun for the most part but doesn't really add anything to him. For those who don't know, Chroma simply gets an extra jump in mid-air (any frame that subsumes Wrathful Advance, which I highly recommend, can do that too).

To be honest, Chroma's passive ability is my absolute favorite. I really love zigzagging up in the air and down. I have lot more fun to look for opportunity to find a wall or ground to keep bullet jumping constantly. It's just closest thing to simulate flying freely like a dragon. I subsume Nezha's Fire Walker so I can paint the sky with fire. If you see a Chroma bullet jumping like crazy, that's probably me.

Overall, I feel like the heart of the problem of Chroma is that he lacks a fun interactive ability kit. All his abilities feel so passive, I wish we could do more with them.

[Chroma changes?]

For for Effigy, exalted sentinel looks cool. But, I feel it needs to do more than just be that.
Lets treat Effigy more like Chroma's Stand and give elements more of a role to what effigy can do.

This is just a rough example

Effigy:

• No lag time when casting and is faster to cast
• Heat:
  • On Initial cast: Effigy charges forward like a meteor crashing at aim point and dealing fire damage.
  • While Active: Effigy will keep following nearest player after reaching aim point.
• Cold:
  • On Initial cast: Effigy roars and creates a blizzard which freezes enemies in a area
  • While Active: Effigy will be stationary.
• Electric:
  • On Initial cast: Effigy becomes lightning for a short duration and zaps through each possible target in a radius .
  • While Active: Effigy will keep moving randomly around in a 30m radius around you; prefers staying higher from the ground. 
• Toxin:
  • On Initial cast: Effigy splashes forward a toxin wave.
  • While Active: Effigy will keep looking for loot and enemies to kill; Effigy picks up loot for you.

Toxin- I really like the 50% sprint speed boost does the duration scale? or does it stay at 5s (would like 6 or 7)

Electric- how do you see this one working? Is it a mini Volt discharge or a high damage version of the regular electric ward, which in that case does it buff the next instance of damage to strike enemies that hit Chromas shield.

Thanks, For these, I was trying to design it around the idea of fun to spam, and makes Chroma look cooler.

Toxin. 
5 seconds and scales with mods but maybe a bit shorter like 3 or 4 seconds and scales with mods.
I want this to be the most fun button to keep recasting. it would cause chroma to make his growl noise and have some cool toxin splash effects.
Make it like a addiction to cast this ability.
The duration i am not really sure how to adjust it yet. I feel it needs to have a shorter duration, but not to sure on overall feels.

Electric:
I feel like having it like volt's discharge mini version would not fit exactly. During Spectral Cloak, Chroma is constantly surrounding himself with lightning breath, I think the best thematic fit is making him shoot out chain lightning arcs on the closest nearby target with you recast it. But, I think this ability idea I made here does not really truly combo/synergize with his Elemental's Ward's Electric discharge on hit, might need a new idea for this.

[Let's talk about Chroma! My Ideas for a Chroma Rework.]

I like your guys idea of most of your abilities. But. I believe that Elemental Ward is one of the ability that needs to be changed the most.
Elemental Ward is good to help Chroma survive and have some niche cool effects. But, I feel this takes unneeded space in Chroma's ability slots.
It would give Chroma opportunities to do more if we can move these effects to Chroma's other kit or through his passive and stats.

There are those who say that just "Combine 2 and 3", but I say, Combine 1 and 2. Spectral Scream and Elemental Ward

Here's what I think Reworked Spectral Scream and Elemental Ward should look like. 
It's designed to be spammable, fun and easier to use, give Chroma more battle options, and makes you look cooler.

Spectral Cloak

• Spectral Scream is now Spectral Cloak it combines the effects of Elemental Ward with additional support effects.
• Is no longer a cone effect. You exhale an elemental storm that envelops you in a 9-meter radius. Range effected by mods.
• Is no longer a toggle and has a 25 second duration
• You may use any weapons while Spectral Cloak is active
• Faster to cast and Recastable while active,
• While active, you and nearby allies get 
  • Heat.
    • On Recast: Heal 33% total health, Chroma adds 10% Total Fury Stacks
    • Passive: Same as Heat Elemental Ward's health boost effects
  • Cold:
    • On Recast: Create Snow mirage of self with with Reflect Effect, mirage last 5 second, Chroma adds 10% Total Scorn Stacks.
    • Passive:  Same as Cold Elemental Ward's armor boost effects
  • Toxin:
    • On Recast: reloads all your weapons, and increase sprint speed by 50% for 5 seconds, Chroma adds 10% Total Fury Stacks.
    • Passive: Same as Toxin Elemental Ward's holster and damage effects
  • Electric: :
    • On Recast: High Damage Discharge Effect, Chroma adds 10% Total Scorn Stacks.
    • Passive: Same as Electric Elemental Ward discharge and shield boost effects

This should free us an ability slot and that new ability might be the better place to cycle through elements,
If that's the case, Spectral Cloak would then have an Hold to Focus breath attack with increase damage and range.

Also make the Old Elemental Ward a helminth ability. 

[Chroma Rework Concept]

On 2020-04-09 at 7:00 AM, Zulnivis said:

My problem is more personnal, i like to think my Chroma as a single-element dragon, wether it's ice, fire, elec or toxin, they are all different frames to me, each with its own "personality", gameplay and color theme. So switching these during a mission just feels weird, it would just be like Smaug switching to ice or Godzilla switching to toxin whenever he likes it, this makes no sense to me

That's why i always adapt the frame's color scheme to the element i'm using, and not the other way around (if i want to go for a toxin Chroma, then i go for a greenish theme that fits the element)

I am aware that's a very personnal problem, and that i may be a bit too zealous about it, but i prefer to support interesting rework concepts that do not include this feature

I know how you feel.

Chroma should be defined in his range of unique build style not the ability to adapt on the go.

I know the advantages of being able to swap elements on the go, but I feel like swapping elements on the go would influence those element buffs to be generic: Fire only increases health, Toxin only increases reload speed, Frost only increases Armor, and Electric only increase shields. I'm scared that it might stop the idea of elemental buffs doing more like for example make the fire elemental ward increase fury buff per second, make frost ward give out frost aura that slows down enemies or give out ice coating per second, make electric recharges shield and constantly converts overshields into discharges, and make toxin improve run speed and attack speed.

So instead of giving Chroma the ability to swap elements, Chroma's Elemental Ward should add additional buffs based on the elements to enhanced different build styles.

[Passives Rework?? Concept]

I think that would be freaking awesome. I want to see more playstyles for all frames.

I want Frames to not just be clothes in wardrobe. It needs to be a lifestyle that you love doing and choosing your own passive will probably help out on that idea.

[Chroma Rework Concept]

I love the idea making Vex Armor a passive instead and replace 3 giving Chroma the ability to FLY! I really wish the fly ability to be real to actually feel like a dragon. Probably this ability should also be given to Zephyr but in her theme. 

For the Passive Vex Armor. I think fury buff should increase when Chroma is dealing damage to enemies instead. That way we won't worry much about trying to kill ourselves. There might be an issue if there are no enemies are around to refresh the buffs.

With Spectral Scream it might not be good enough. The issue with the Spectral Scream is that using your weapons is usually always stronger and more efficient. To make it worth using it either has to let you keep using your current weapons, an instant cast that does not interrupt any action your doing, or make this ability extremely powerful with additional effects.

Elemental Ward buffs are nice. With the Electric buff, I think it should just be direct shield per second instead. To keep that constant lightning discharges if under attack.

Eminence is perfect, but I don't know about augment though. I feel that these buffs should be part of Chroma baseline abilities like for example, keep Chroma Vex Armor to buff allies too.

For effigy, make it duration based. The buffs are nice for it, but what it also needs the most is the ease of casting effigy. Casting effigy should not cause any interruption so you can keep moving and attacking. It would be cool to use it instantly as temporary defense. This ability would make it feel like using Stands like in the Jojo anime.

Overall, I think this rework would make Chroma more fun to play.

 

 

[Why did you pick your main]

Chroma. Because he's a dragon and he's fire aura look cool. And I need to share the Fire aura at max range blinding everybody.

[Chroma Alternative Helmets for Peltless Form.]

Can Chroma get alternative helmets for his peltless form? Chroma Prime looks awesome, but I don’t like his peltless face. I really like the looks of the original chroma peltless face because he looks more monstrous and has those cute ear things.

Plus, this can also add more stuff for TennoGen.
