[Frame] Sabolich The Mecha-Suit

[AlchemistMute]

"The SABOLICH Frame was originally invented by the Orokin as a Frame specializing in the use of heavy weapons and superhuman strength, but was captured by the Grineer and modified with a cannon arm. After escaping the Grineer, the Tenno shunned it for being different and straying from the oriental theme. Due to being made a rebel, it made further modifications, and it's now more of a mecha-suit then a bio-suit." - Codex entry/Lore

 

Sabolich is a mech-suit Frame that has been heavily modified and serves as a machine rather than a bio-suit. It mainly fights with it's cannon arm, able to equip a fourth weapon and temporarily use it with boosts as well as fly in the air with jet-feet and even summon drones.

 

Stats:

- 75 HP

- 150 Shields

- 190 Armor

- 0.8 Sprint Speed

- 100 Energy

- Very, very big

- Able to equip four weapons instead of three

 

Skills:

 

#1 - (Melee, Primary, Secondary) Unsheath - 25 Energy

The first skill comes with three modules, only one of which can be equipped. Using Melee Unsheath will allow you to carry another melee weapon, which will have more range and speed for both kinds of attack. Only a 2-handed sword can be used with this skill.

 

Using Primary Unsheath will allow you to carry another primary weapon, which will gain hitscan, increased damage and high fire rate/charge speed. Bows and snipers (aside from the Lanka) cannot be used with this skill. While the skill is active, the weapon can be fired indefinitely.

 

Using Secondary Unsheath will allow you to bring another secondary weapon, which will gain hitscan, high fire rate and increased damage. Thrown weapons, the Ballistica, the Acrid and akimbo pistols can't be used.

 

All Unsheaths are temporary, and while Unsheaths are active, you can't switch between weapons.

 

#2 - Flying Stomp - 50 Energy

The second skill, Flying Stomp, utilizes the jet-feet on Sabolich for flight. Sabolich starts by stomping the ground for a large AoE knockdown around it, and then starts flying temporarily. Holding shift and then pressing the W and S keys will allow you to fly up or down.

 

#3 - Support Drone - 75 Energy

The third skill, Support Drone, will send out a floating drone for support from Sabolich's back. It has 100 HP, 500 Shields and acts as both a Decoy and support. Both you and your teammates will have their ammo and shields restored while near the Drone, which will fly ahead of Sabolich, as well as gain a solid 20% status chance increase. (5% --> 25%, rather than 5% --> 6%)

 

#4 - Area Denial - 100 Energy

The fourth skill, Area Denial, will fire out a volley of missiles upwards that will shortly fall towards a large area of the ground near Sabolich. Each missile has a medium-size AoE and low damage, as well as leaves a radiation ground hazard that enemies will actively try to move around.

What do you think? Sabolich is based a 'little' upon Megaman and Samus Aran, a little bit of stereotypical sci-fi human mechs, and a little bit was just the rule of cool. I hope you enjoyed reading, and I'm sorry for having no concept art.

 

Thanks for reading. <3

What's wrong with the Unsheath skill? I dunno how the arsenal would be adjusted to have a fourth slot just for when Sabolich is equipped, but it could be done.

Very creative

Adjustments made. While the skill is active, you can't switch between weapons.

[SniffYoBunnies]

You might wanna change the thingy with him being able to carry FOUR weapons.

Can´t really see that being implemented...

How about a Laser Beam shoulder cannon instead?
