Design an Ability For Conquest Of Duat!

[Bifrosty]

To celebrate getting 50 likes on Conquest Of Duat, I’m adding a combat ability designed by the community! Drop some designs in this topic. In a month, I’ll pick my favorite idea and add it to my game!

Rules:

• Cannot boost in-air movement speed (as not to break parkour sections)
• Must fit the tone of the game (can’t be a lightsaber)
• Add details! If you provide a lot of information or even some art, I’ll be more inclined to pick yours.
• It can be a magic spell or a material weapon.
• Be creative!

Good luck, Travelers!

its not really a weapon but its kinda an ability its called “Great Slash“(heard of it)

Its just a really strong slash that does 3x equipped weapon DMG but it has a cooldown of 5 seconds it also needs a charge of half a second.

The lore is uh er ah I don’t have any

[Hulahoop]

Don’t tell me that’s a hammer. it better not be a hammer. welp my hammer is better!

Congrats on 50 likes!

i dont have time to draw but i have an idea for a weapon.

A war hammer. (u name it) (if u pick it)

The concept of the weapon is that it has a super attack with a cool down of 5-10 seconds, what the super does is that the direction you are facing it smashes the ground and makes spikes come up from the ground and deals damage to any enemy in the AOE. the normal attack would have a 1 second cool down since a war hammer isn’t neccesarily supposed to be fast, what it does is the player spins in a circle hitting anything close to it in a 1 or 2 block radius.

I see that @TheEarth couldn’t think of a lore so ima think of one for mine.

(i haven’t finished ur game or played a lot of it but hopefully there isn’t already a weapon like this)

Lore: (idk how lores work but here goes nothing (i think it’s supposed to be like a story?))

In the depths of a icy spikes biome (MINECRAFT!) a dripstone cave is spotted…

An adventurer long ago ventured far down until he was stopped by a big wall with lights turned off on them…

5 lights… 5 puzzles… many traps… 1 way to go… the adventurer never came back…

Long ago, Vikings had raided every village near by, but a sudden snowstorm destroyed their ship and most of their rations. But these aren’t your regular Vikings, they learned quickly, they didn’t just survive in the snowy spikes, they thrived. They didn’t build and structures outside in case of another snow storm and to keep secret of their location, Instead, they went down…

During one of their expeditions to explore the biome, one of them had spotted a massive opening in the ground. When king Viking arrived at the hole they realized it was a big dripstone cave. The decided to make that cave their home and when they first went down they found a strange stone glowing yellow, lots of it. when one of the chefs was cooking food for the king some dust from the strange stone fell into it without anyone noticing. When the king ate the food he started illuminating a very bright yellow, blinding everyone, until it stopped. It was until after everyone had died that the king realized what it did… He didn’t age at all.

Legend says that the Viking king is still alive and in the cave, but no one has ever found it. (until you come) and that the viking had made a weapon strong enough to shake the ground. Legend says that he’s made puzzles to get to him. Legend says he made traps for anyone who comes. Legend says he guarding it with his life. Legends thinks he’s impossible to take down… except for one weapon strong enough to take him down… ( you pick a weapon that you already made so that it can defeat the Viking King! it should be the only one that deals a lot of damage to him, other weapons do a little damage but the weapon of your choice will do much more to the Viking. make sure it’s a weapon that the player is guaranteed to have and not one that they might not have)

(was that a lore? idk. idk what a lore even is but thats what i think it is. hopefully it’s enough. it gave you plenty of information on how to get the weapon and even a new boss battle! and new biomes! i hope you choose to do this!)(if you do i wanna see it! play it! but please give me a link that skips it all the way to that level, i suck at the game.thx!)

Hmmm… How about a magic ability called: “Ice Descends”

This ability has a 30 second cooldown and it rains a random number of icicles (between 5 and 10) in front of the player.

(I’ll leave the damage calculations to you)

Lore for the skill:

“There once was a lonely adventurer, exploring the vast icelands. Everything was going great. Until the sun descended… and never came back up. With the newfound darkness came monsters of unknown origin. These beasts came to kill the adventurer. He thought he was a goner, no skills, no friends for backup, no way to save himself. That was… until something awakened. A deeply primal sensation only to be known as power*. All intuition and no idea what he was doing, his body controlled by some other force, he destroyed the beasts with rains of ice and snow. When all was said in done the adventurer looked at his hand then back at the monsters now buried in snow. “This is power isn’t it? It… feels good.”***

I don’t even know if this is what you’re asking for but I had fun writing the lore I guess lol.

peak weapon idea: a red eye being encircled by gold lines (if you could animate that it would be peak)

it can shoot Lasers from the eye

maybe position it near the players head or something as if he is looking through the eye to aim

lore would be that you get it from killing ra or he gives it to you as a reward for something, would be named eye of ra

concept art:

[something]

I planned to make pixel art for this, but it ended up looking like a skin tone Pikachu. My idea is a bit long, so strap in.

The undoing of creation

The idea is a spell (akin to the moon) that summons a large snake (Apep, to be specific) that bites at enemies. For the design of the spell, I say it should be some sort of statue, but you’re the gamemaker, so you get to choose.

LORE

In Egyptian mythology, Apep (or Apophis as the Greeks called him) was an embodiment of chaos (Isfet) who attempted to devour the sun god Ra every time he made his nightly trip through the Duat to rise again in the morning. Apep did all of this for one reason: he hates everything. He hates the gods. He hates the mortals. He hates all forms of order that the gods and humans have built. The reason that devouring Ra would solve Apep’s issue is that Ra is the fundamental source of all life, cosmic order (Ma’at), and light. Every night he would try to devour Ra, and every night he would fail, but one night he didn’t. He didn’t fail to devour Ra, but to his extreme dismay, not everyone died, and the world didn’t completely fall to pieces. As he watched the new order of gods rise to take Ra’s place, he thought to himself, “Why don’t I feel complete?” After all, why shouldn’t he? He had completed his one goal, he had devoured the sun, and plunged the world into unending chaos and fear. He thought to himself, “It must be because there are still gods left to rule the world that should be mine to destroy”, for Apep was about as smart as a snake made of primordial chaos could be. Over the next few days, he hatched a plan (get it, “hatched”, because he’s a snake) to kill the rest of the remaining gods (and the foolish zealot, the “keystone priest”). The first one he planned to kill was the Keyston priest. He didn’t make it past the Keyston priest, who, unbeknownst to Apep, had recently taken on the moniker of “Seth,” the god of the desert. If Apep, he wouldn’t have challenged him in the desert, obviously. After his humiliating defeat, Apep was sealed in some artifact by the keystone priest and stashed away in the frigid peaks of the mountains Seth called his home.

lore wise i belive that the artifact would best be somewhere in the early mountain levels or in the labyrinth

Wow! 3 new members have joined the forums for just this!

[engineer703]

I have three ideas (if that’s not allowed just tell me and i’ll pick the best for you to count)

1. The Ice Torch:

One touch of the ‘flames’ will freeze enemies.

2. Fire Orbs:

A flaming orb that you charge up and release (hold button to make orb bigger before releasing the button), setting fire to your enemies.

3. Mushroom of Death:

The rare Mushroom of Death can be thrown. After hitting the ground, it flashes and explodes, leaving a cloud of lingering poison that damages enemies continuously.
