Current one, unchanged.

+4 AS and +5 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.

+2 AS and +3 DMG on Player Phase, with additional +2 AS and +2 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.

+1 AS and +1.5 DMG for each space moved up to 4 spaces.

Current one but AS bonus is converted to DR from the end of the Player Phase until the next one.

I don't know but I want to see the results.

I don't think that people would enjoy being functionally dead weight for half of a mission even if it let them be amazing killing machines for the rest. It might not be fun playing with either, since you'd end up being functionally down a man while that player is untransformed which makes things harder for everyone else.

So it sounds to me like the solution would be to have the transformations be more utility than anything else. It probably goes against their concept a lot but it lets them contribute in fights without being transformed, since they aren't completely handicapped when untransformed. Not as strong but still enough to contribute.

Alternatively just make them equally tanky untransformed. At least so that they can throw themselves against the enemy to increase the gauge and block when needed.

Giving Laguz a permanent defensive bonus above what other classes get doesn't seem very balanced. They're not any weaker than other classes while untransformed, it's just that they wouldn't have applicable skills or weapons in that time (though as I've stated I would like them to be able to counter while untransformed).

But yeah, Laguz should absolutely spend more time transformed than not, at the very least. One thing could be that in the base stat, the guage builds faster per turn than it depletes while transformed. This would reduce the need for Laguz to put themselves in danger without being transformed.

It's been a long while but there's a new poll related to dances. Changing the influence of enemy RES for their LCK could have it be less biased towards physical units but since usually enemy LCK is low the dances would need less hit to not be always autohits.

I made a poll in the summoner test thread about summon and because I don't want to repeat it here I'll just post the link

[Blade Master Model 42]

Alright so historically Assassinate has been a pretty divisive skill due to a couple of particular attributes that it has. Namely, the capacity to kill any enemy regardless of the user's capacity to cause damage, as well as the low chance to activate it. These two extreme components combine to create a skill that is arguably balanced against other skills, but has a tendency to cause friction.

There was recently some discussion about changes to the skill in terms of balance, as well as a complete overhaul. These are the broader possibilities born from the discussion.

1. unchanged or possible minor number tweaks
2. assassinate requires any or all of (crit, actually dealing damage)
3. assassinate is some sort of doublecrit chance (details pending, though the idea relies on an exploding critical mechanic)
4. assassinate now passively increases critical damage to 4x instead of 3x

Of these options I'm more in favor of the latter two, as it moves away from the instant-kill mechanic to allow for something that is useful more consistently.

[SeriousConcentrate]

The fourth option is something that v1.3 gave Warriors, iirc, so if it's been removed from them you can still say it was in-game before and was just reassigned.

[Blade Master Model 42]

It was indeed removed from them! So that's pretty neat and tidy.

[SeriousConcentrate]

It makes more sense on Assassins anyway tbh, but I'm in favor of also giving them Single Stroke or something similar. Their deal is to be crit machines so you might as well reinforce that.

[Blade Master Model 42]

I'd say Critical Eye. Mostly because I don't think it's appropriate for Single Stroke to be a skill at all anymore but we had that vote already.

[Chevaleresse]

I'm in favor of adding critical eye plus option 4. Simple, thematic, cuts down on rolling and gimmicky instakills that fail on everything you'd want to use them on anyway.

[GM_3826]

Critical Eye + Option 4 is OK with me.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'm in favor of adding critical eye plus option 4. Simple, thematic, cuts down on rolling and gimmicky instakills that fail on everything you'd want to use them on anyway.

I like your argument.

[Sirus]

I'm in favor of adding critical eye plus option 4. Simple, thematic, cuts down on rolling and gimmicky instakills that fail on everything you'd want to use them on anyway.

If we gotta change Assassinate, this seems like the best of the lot.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Critical Eye plus option 4 gets my vote as well, for whatever it counts.

[Haspen]

Either 3 or 4+CritEye would be better than current, yes.
