The increased range is never going to fly but the tiered buff mechanic is interesting.

It is a damage stick. Thats my opinion on just about every exalted weapons unless the weapon weapon itself os quite creative and wpuld not be considered a weapon if it was not an ability too. A few examples are an exalted book or an exalted drum.

As far as formating is concerned I would adice you to display the front of the art upfront , the rest of the perspectives under spoilers tabs.

Well for his Fourth I can picture the first sword being a two-handed Nikana with really long range. 

His passive ability I picture a buff where melee draw speed(first swing while primary/secondary equipped) and damage is greatly enhanced. Maybe the critical damage.

His first ability I’m picturing Slash Dash but more of a slash swipe where the range of the blade extends greatly and swipes multiple enemies. Also affected by the Fourth ability. 
1). Dual-handed Nikana - a simple long range swipe but with greater damage.

2). Dual Nikanas - shorter range but greater casting speed allowing to be spammed into a combo.

3). Pole - short range throw like a glaive that spins around the frame before returning. It’s natural length(which can be enhanced by Reach) makes up for it short throwing range. Each hit counts towards the combo multiplier.

His second ability I’m picturing being replaced by his third while his third is his battle cry but it enhances movement speed while wielding and swinging melees. Each enemy hit could increase the range a little but I was thinking more like each hit increases his critical chance(additively) to a certain point. Basically making it very hit a critical strike for melees. Maybe slash status 100%

Up to DE for the numbers cause they have to make sure it’s balanced. But samurais are known for their quick and sharp swordsman skills. And the abilities I’ve chosen are based on that fact plus a bit more synergy. 
 

If it makes you feel better about my opinion, I always used the Kensei from For Honor. Lol

What do you think of my ideas/concept?

[(PSN)Vexx757]

Just to ask you guys, if this warframe was released what weapons would you want to come with him?

[ES-Flinter]

Like already told here's my opinion about your concept. (I didnt read the other post btw., sorry if I missing an important information in it.)

 

First please use next time the available text options. It makes your concept much easier to read and what is more important it says that you were here at least once and know how things works. I were so fine and did it in the quotes to show you how it could look.

It's great. It works as an low level enemy cleaner and in higher levels it sustain usable as a debuffing ability. The thing that the wave expands the further it goes does it also make bit strategical. In sum is it easy and good.^^

10 extra meter is broken, especially if it's considered that most melee weapons have thanks to primed reach a range of ~5m. The killing enemy part is also not so optimal, because it's "descaling". The stronger the enemies become the weaker does this ability become. (let's forget the part that melee is so broken that it kills lv. 9999 enemies.) Not sure how I should think about the amount of buffs, because three buffs is quite a lot.

What do you mean with, that your alias has to use YOUR melee weapon?

I love the idea, but before I go further I'm not sure if I understood you correctly:

Spoiler

armor mode:

• Just a normal damage reduction skill
  • damage reduction= 60%
• absorbs damage
  • absorption= 40%
  • Absorbed damage gets carried over to barrier mode
• increase enemy aggro in the first 5s
  • 15m
• Reflect all damage when second ability is used and the player is blocking with his melee weapon
  • reflection damage is affectey by:
    • absorbtions amount
    • melee mods

Barrier mode

• A damage reducing shield which will stand on the floor
  • damage reduction= 60%
• increase his and the damage of allies.
  • damage increase is affected by the absorption amount
• resets duration, when player switch from armor to barrier mode.
  • reactiavte the aggro affect for 5s
• Enemies who touch the barrier gets ragdolled and get damage
  • damage depends on absorbed damage
• Reflect all damage when second ability is used and the player is blocking with his melee weapon
  • reflection damage is affected by:
    • absorbtions amount
    • melee mods
• Using the first ability on it increase the damage of the wave.
  • damage= 1. ability damage+ third ability damage

The biggest problem is the fake exalted weapon. I don't have to explain how they are limiting the player mod and weapon options. Then there's the thing that damage reflection can easily become broken (octavia and necremechs are a great example). But other than is the ability very good.

It's boring and has no use. Why should someone use this ability. Normal melee weapons are stronger (<- which is actually a game balance problem) and don't cost energy. The katana might be interesting with the forward dash. The dual swords sounds interesting at first, but having the option to slam and only being able to attack one enemy with a finisher, instead of hitting multiple enemies at once with a "floor-finisher" is actually a downgrade.  Polearm slide attack ragdoll is useless and he already has his first ability for CC. Being limited to only one weapon out of three per mission is also not a good option.

Passive: While running, he is able to knock down enemies in his path.

Why? Is there a reward when he make himself the work to run trough enemies instead of just killing them? His fourth ability is useless, but this passive is just bad. You have here a samurai concept, but it seems that you don't want to use it.

I'm not a history teacher, but aren't samurais known for killing themself when the did a mistake. Use this. Let's say that deactivated shields is the "mistake", but killing the player would be unfair. So we have to switch this up, by giving him an other penalty when his shield go down, but as long as his shields are alive he gets a super buff.

It's just a bad quick idea, but this is with what I would think could work:

Spoiler

Passives:

Bamboo shields: Shield is affected by Yasukes armor value.

Senpukko blood pool: Every slash tick increase the sbp. (6 slash ticks/ slash proc). The higher the sbp does become the stronger does his abilities & armor become. If Yasukes shields are down gets the blood pool reduced to 0.

 

1. Ability:

Sends a sword wave to his enemies. The sword wave inflict a guaranteed slash proc. Damage= damage of exalted weapon*sbp.

 

2. Ability:

Increase his running speed, melee speed, and melee damage. The buff gets multiplied with the amounts sbp.

 

3. Ability:  

Damage reduction armor which can be used as a separated shield. blocking increase the damage reduction to 100% and reflect every damage. sbp points increase the shield gain, while blocking.

 

4. Ability:

Use his exalted weapon Tessaiga (two handed nikana). Holding the second fire button let Yasuke quickly dash forward and inflict damage to enemies he hits. Base damage of tessaiga gets increased with every sbp.

 

Like said, just a quick thought.

 

 

In sum: 3/10. First and third ability are really good, but the second, fourth and especially the passive kills your concept. Next time play much more with passive ideas and use it for the other abilities. Focus on one thing, but make this great and not only good.

I got the idea of the 1st ability from another game, I can`t remember what that game is called but that game is dead now.

The 2nd ability is based on reaching a threshold which there are other wf that have this but not as good as my idea of it.

And the 3rd is like Volt`s 3 but it`s more useful DE has done it with Garuda so I don`t see why I can't, the important thing is, is the ability good? and I believe it is.
