Caladin: Draft of his Kit

As promised^^

No promise the numbers are scaled in anyway balanced- I don’t have a good grasp of buffing and scaling on the numbers side, so feel free to make suggestions.

Wrath (normal attack):

Caladin makes 6 consecutive melee attacks dealing Spectro damage equivalent to 90% of his ATK. Basic attacks accumulate stacks of “Vengeance.”

Heavy Attacks: consume a certain amount of stamina to deal single target Spectro damage equal to 115% of Caladin’s ATK and minor aoe Spectro damage.

Animation idea: A parting the seas kind of motion in which Cal brings his hands together and up before pulling them down off to his sides, creating a cone of Spectro energy around him.

Mid-air Attack: consumes a certain amount of stamina to perform a mid-air attack that deals aoe Spectro damage equal to 75% of Caladin’s ATK

Animation idea: Dropkick :3

Solar Flare (Resonance Skill)

Produces a field of swirling Spectro orbs that orbit the onfield Resonator, pulling enemies in and dealing consistent Spectro damage for 15 seconds that is equal to 75% of Caladin’s ATK.

Golden Hour (Forte)

Stacks a condition called “Vengeance” upon usage of Wrath and its variants, including basic attacks, heavy attacks, and mid-air attacks.

Upon collecting the first stack of “Vengeance”, Caladin regenerates (x) amount of energy.

A max of 12 stacks can be accumulated at once and can be done every 2 seconds. (?)

Stacks of “Vengeance” clear upon triggering Daylight’s Glory.

Clearing stacks of “Vengeance” applies party wide ATK and Crit Rate buffs per stack cleared.

A maximum of a 40% ATK buff and 12% Crit Rate buff can be acquired

Daylight’s Glory (Resonance Liberation)

Attacks a main target dealing massive Spectro damage equivalent to 270% of Caladin’s ATK and minor aoe Spectro damage.

Clears all stacks of “Vengeance” and applies a party wide buff that last 30 seconds with Caladin off field, and 40 seconds of Caladin spends at least 10 seconds on field after triggering Daylight’s Glory.

Caladin’s basic attack, Wrath, is greatly enhanced and becomes “Rage.”

Animation idea: we see a close up of Caladin’s face, his eyes are glowing and we see a foreshortened version of his hand come into scene. It flashes to a view of light bursting through seams of his fingers as though he grabs the enemy by the face and incinerates them :3

Rage (Enhanced Basic Attack)

Performs 6 consecutive melee attacks dealing Spectro damage equal to 200% of Caladin’s ATK. All Heavy Attacks and Mid-Air attacks are treated as basic attack damage and receive designated buffs as though they were basic attacks.

Rage lasts 30 seconds. (??)

Dawn’s Breath (Intro Skill)

Deals aoe Spectro damage equivalent to 150% of Caladin’s ATK and regenerates (x) amount of Energy for himself

Animation idea: Full blown flying out of the sky to punch the ground Haymaker vibes-

Justice at Dusk (Outro Skill)

Creates a single, stationary orb of Spectro energy that pulses and deals aoe damage equivalent to 30% of Caladin’s ATK and taunts the enemy. After 3 hits, it disperses.

Regenerates a third of the incoming Resonator’s energy. (????)

If the incoming Resonator has a fully charged Liberation, this is exchanged for a Crit Damage buff of 12%.

Inherent Skill 1

Increases Caladin’s attack by 12%

Inherent Skill 2

Increases Caladin’s energy regeneration rate by 15%

Wow. Alright. I think this is done enough for a draft.

If some parts seem really random and disconnected, it’s because I am ill and also just throwing thoughts at paper.

Please do add critiques of stats and percentages because I cross referenced with Xiangli Yao, Acheron from Honkai Star Rail, and Dr. Ratio from Honkai Star Rail.

So I’m sure this is a mess^^

Caladin is built to be a dual DPS/Quickswap unit.

A rotation for him might be building stacks of Vengeance, Resonance Liberation, Resonance Skill, a few extra hits in with his basic, and then swap for the other DPS to benefit from his party wide buffing.

He could also work in hyper carry, but honesty I don’t know :’)

Quick fun fact: Caladin’s Forte is named Golden Hour in reminiscence of who he once was and what his Forte once felt like to him. His other skill names feel very violent in comparison.

I totally draw things other than Liu Qingge in comprising positions (no I don't). ☺️

Anyway, tossing up this quick WIP before I forget how to draw again.

Personal ->

I've been laid up with a horrible stomach virus for days, and only now feeling somewhat human again.

Almost finished with Mysterious Lotus Casebook and I'm absolutely feral about it. I can't wait to dive into the fandom head first as soon as I finish it up. Expect incoming thoughts and foaming at the mouth.

Technically this is from Shui Long Yin, but I've fallen so hard for Xiao Shun Yao. ❤️

Blades: 3 Rin: 2

Well... they tried. Though it does crack Sierra up that these two somehow made the exact same guesses for her last name, her dad's job, and where she lives.

Oh, and the spice tolerance. Just for clarification, boys, red hair does not mean an affinity for hot food.

Caladin: Reference Dump :3

Some of the art pieces I found were not credited so *please* let me know if you’re familiar with the artist so I can credit them.

Otherwise, the following dump of photos will be picrew results and picrew equivalents!

Thanks to everyone who sent me resources :3

These all feel fairly consistent to me, though the top left is my favorite so far. Facial expressions are hard to imagine in my brain, but something tells me Cal is prone to staring. He’s just a curious lil guy.

Below is some art I did find on Pinterest and other sites so I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to find the artists or guarantee they aren’t AI, but I shall try:

I’m very fond of both of these as concepts, mainly because hair :3

Cal definitely undercut, though I think I still want his hair long??? Not sure. Thinking is hard.

And finally, I found one really gorgeous piece that reminds me quite a bit of Dahlia if it were a bit softer??? Not sure how to explain that :/

As of right now, I’m still searching for the artists for all of the above art. Let me know if you’re familiar with any of them ^^

MICHAEL: How come you and I have never talked about your father? About his murder, I mean.

DAVID: My father told Phil Bartoli: "If my son the prosecutor goes after you, you're finished. So bye bye, Phil, because you've had it. You're going to take a fall". See, my old man, he made jokes about the fact that he was an outfit guy, and he had a law abiding son. But I think that he was proud of what I do. He wanted me to improve on his life, not imitate it. If I speculate on who, I'd be provoked to pick up a gun and kill. And that would be betraying exactly what my dad was so proud of.
