Medici, the Dancer

[MagicalNate]

This Frame would be a Melee DPS Support. Inspired By Ballet and Martial arts.

Her Passive
Grace
Her Abilities become tied to the Combo counter and her Ballet moves and abilities increase it. Her combo counter drains over time.

Her roll, Side Spring and backspring become Ballet moves

Ability 1: Pirouette
She performs a Pirouette. Her tutu like armour slashing enemies in range. It will us her melee mods.
Ability 2: Grande Jeté
She Leaps forward through the air, Performing a Slam where she lands (this could be a basic lift or an elemental slam). This consumes Combo counter, (treated as heavy attack) Enemies killed by this move grant allies energy regen similar to Exodia Brave

Ability 3: Performance
While the Ability is held she will perform a dance routine, draining her combo counter as she does so. When the Ability is release. She buffs allies with an effect similar to Blood Rush and Weeping wounds modified by how much combo counter she drained. These buffs apply to all weapons and not just melee. If this is too powerful, A balance could be that she can’t regain combo until the buff wears off, but that might be too harsh

Ability 4: En Pointe
She summons her Exalted Weapon. Exalted Pointe. These are basically weaponised pointe shoes, The combos would be a blend of kick heavy martial arts and Ballet moves. Example, her block forward combo could have her leaping forward in a twirl and then delivering a spinning/pirouette kick.

As a bonus. While en pointe is Active, her 1 can be held and she will continue to spin and gain a vortex effect. (Or this could be an augment)

I could even imagine her signiture weapon being a Meteor hammer or Rope Dart that is essentially a ribbon with a weight or dart/blade on one end. a Shaolin monk weapon. Could be a whip with a new stance or a whole new weapon type.

Something like this?

We already have those, Spira (Prime).

 

The frame concept seems interesting. What did you have in mind appearance wise?

Appearance wise I could imagine a bit of a clock work motif inspired by music boxes. she would have a tutu that could resemble a cog. her helmet would have a tiara like crescent shape, remeniscent once again of cogs and gears. but I am not really an artist.

(Edit: This is a ribbon meteor hammer. A rope dart is the same thing just with a dart/blade on the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IPl2tFNihc
