Earth shares its specialties with Green and Blue, so a Earth-type could heal. It won't get any particular bonuses to it, but it doesn't lose out on anything either. A tanky medic might even work.

[Twinwolf]

More like a combat medic, given the blue part of Earth. And it doesn't mean that we don't need an actual healer.

another shitstorm
in a freeform game

that's about character theming


you people need to go to a nature reserve or something
smell the grass
relax

im trying to but tbf is being tbf again
it just doesn't make any sense

[edit] elf literally just said he needs to change it too

[IamanElfCollaborator]

....
TBF, wanting to run away from something =/= getting cutting wind powers. That would be a different trauma entirely, something related to wanting to scatter apart, unless you can explain it better than 'running like the wind'. If anything, Vita's more likely to be a Lightning or a Red-type who specialises in Agility than a Wind-type by that logic.

[Nakéen]

we also don't have a healer or a tank again
just like the beginning of trespassers

We have thus far:
-One Metal-type (Copper Haze)
-One Blue-type (Azul Crusader)
-One Wind-type (Mercury Whirlwind)
-Three Black-types (Obsidian Bear, Umbral Knight and Ebon Shadow)
Out of those seven, only Umbral Knight, Obsidian Bear and Azul Crusader have decent defensive stats and only Copper Haze can pseudo-tank.

I mean, if nobody wants to go healer or tank, I'll change out my guy for a White/Green type, but eh.

Funny how the lack of Healer kind of fit Accel World's in universe rarity of Healers. I'm browsing the sheets of everyone currently, but I don't see myself changing my Avatar much. I'm already pretty attached to it :/

More coming after browsing is done.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Well, it makes sense for the anime, but in an actual game, it really ain't good for us not to have a healer.

[Powder Miner]

at least Azul Crusader has them sweet Colada parries

wait how does being a healer even work lorewise when you need to kill people to win

2v2 fights and even healers in Accel World can fight. (Otherwise people like Lime Bell wouldn't really be possible.)

I don't see the problem. Being a healer doesn't stop you from bashing the head of someone.

[SOLDIER First]

Generally healers fucking suck at doing any sort of damage unless they're a perfect hybrid, in which case they suck less but also suck more at healing. In a straight fight, most RPG healers would die.

2v2 fights does not guarantee the healer gets kills, though. Unless the game has organized fights thanks to mechanics, and you just need to WIN.

[Nakéen]

After much thinking, I will scrape my character to create a White tank-based avatar. Maybe with healing, who knows.

Then we have invincible broken healers with too much sustain

That aside, in the anime/ln I do remember experience being distributed to the team in the case of a 2v2, not by a "per-kill" basis.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

This isn't an RPG though, it's a fighting game with RPG elements. And anyway I'd assume the healer would win with their side regardless of kills.

[SOLDIER First]

I did, in fact, just mention that possibility. I've never seen the anime either.

is it like smash bros

[Twinwolf]

Well, don't have to make my character part-healer then
