Alone - Special Attacks


Howdy,

So, this week I finished off the Special Attack, uh... attacks. Let's take a look at some of them real quick.

Starting with a view of all of them

Similar to the boosts which I explained last week, there are multiple levels - with each level consuming more rage but having more effect.

Using a special attack is simple - you click the button, and the next attack will use the statistics of that special attack - with one exception which I'll get to soon.

To prevent the player from feeling cheated - special attacks will only consume the listed amount of rage if they actually hit, and will instead consume a single point.

Taking a look at some of the attacks - the first one is Power Attack, which multiplies the damage dealt to the enemy if it lands. It also comes with a quite ridiculous animation.

Whirlwind (the second attack) is useful when surrounded by enemies, as it will attempt to attack all of them at the same time - at lower levels with a penalty to damage.

A special attack I want to touch a bit more on is the kick, since it works differently to the others.

Unlike the others, which replaces your current attack, it instead gives you an instant, and immediate attack. Which does no damage though.

What it does do, however, is interrupt enemies from attacking you, so it's useful if you happen to have a bit of rage and an enemy is using a powerful special attack for instance.

And that's it for this week. Next week I will work on equipment which modifies rage, and after that - the ability to modify special attacks by defeating certain enemies, which I'll explain later on.

Til then
