+### Balance Issues
|
|
|
+One problem is the old Phoenix vs. Shapeshifter fight. Not only is the Shapeshifter a high-HP character, but this fight devolves to "who used Immolation slightly first" slugfest.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Possible solutions:
|
|
|
+- One-frame delay on shapeshifter actions?
|
|
|
+- Shapeshifter has really low HP, forcing projectile engagements?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Another is aura-based attacks in general; they're all centered around the piece that triggered them. The banshee has a cooldown-based AoE, and phoenix has triggered (+cooldown) AoE.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Of the projectile-based creatures, the differentiating factors are: velocity and damage. Velocity can be problematic because of the ease of dodging. Movement speed of pieces should be a consideration for balance, because troll vs. unicorn is another huge issue.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Tiers: high-powered pieces like dragon and unicorn move quickly and fire quickly; medium-tier pieces like basilisk and valkyrie move and fire medium-ly; low-tier have large tradoffs like manticore moving slowly with medium-speed quills, and archer doing the same.
