Spec / Skill hybrid specs

Create skills specs by combining an upgraded skills with corresponding colour specs: Strike (RR + A) can be combined with (PowerRR, SpeedRR, LifeRR) - Strike + PowerRR -> StrikePower - Strike + SpeedRR -> StrikeSpeed - Strike + LifeRR -> StrikeLife

Could also create SkillSpec+ by combining two together.

Why Skill Specs

• Give tools to players to make cool unique builds
• Passive utility that you work towards
• Specialise in a type of skill
• Repurpose skills that you aren't using much for active use
• More layers of complexity

Skill specs philosphy

• Should be more interesting than just another stat "multiplier" we have that already (could be placeholder though)
• Passives should help build a theme / identity to the skills
• Specs should be numerically scalable so they can be balanced (also for upgraded versions think continuous vs discrete)
• While specialised should be useful for multiple skills e.g. StrikeSpeed -> Causes your red attack skills to cast on another target on the same team for (X% damage) A StrikeSpeed should do something for some other active skill that isn't strike
• They don't have to be competely game changing to be viable / fun / interesting

Brainstorming on what kind of things skill specs could do

• Passive

  • (Abosrb Spec) when you take damage you permanently gain X Power/Speed/Life
  • Grant you Amplify with (X% multiplier) when you KO a target
  • Convert (X% of your red / blue power -> green power)
  • Reduce / Increase damage taken of a certain type (Block type upgrades maybe?)

• Active

  • Make a skill cast another skill (strike another guy)
  • Apply an effect when you cast a skill
  • Change damage / healing / speed of a skill
