''' Rusher Class: Doyen '''

Subclass: Fighter

Weapon Name: The Ripper

Styles:



Description: Doyen is a fine gentleman who seems to only be armed with a simple cane, right? Well my dear chap I am afraid your statement is incorrect, for this man bears a powerful sword within his fine cane along with a hidden sickle blade. This allows this fine sir to decimate you mere peasants with fine elegance that is one of the many traits possessed by our good gentleman. Each attack contains not one but two strikes in his standard attack combo, allowing the capabilities to dish out major damage to enemies that face him. Doyen mainly has slight troubles when facing enemies that excel in the arcane arts that do not concern themselves with parrying strikes and can keep a fair distance away from our fine sir and his attacks.



Posture: Upon spawning, Doyen will have his cane sword sheathed by his side as a rapier would. Upon equipping, Doyen will hold his cane in front of him and unsheathe the sword in the cane, and the sickle blade will pop out. While idle, Doyen will hold the sword forward in a fencing posture in his right hand and the cane part backwards in his left hand, holding the cane by his side. While moving, Doyen will have his sword lowered down towards his side while his cane remains in a similar stature as it originally was in the idle position.



Standard Attack Combo: Doyen’s attack combo will include 2 strikes with each attack, 1 with the sickle blade on his cane, the second with the concealed cane-sword. Doyen will begin his combo by slashing his sword diagonally to the lower right followed by his his sickle blade diagonally to the lower left. Then Doyen will thrust his blade forward a bit dashing a bit forward and raising the cane over his hand and slashing the sickle blade downward. Doyen will then cross his sword and his cane together to form an X shape before doing a cross slash with both blades. Finally, Doyen will slash his sword horizontally to the left and then spin around 360 degrees to slash the enemy again with his sickle blade on his cane.



[NEW BAR] Tea - This bar fills up on its own rather slowly on its own. Upon reaching over 50, Doyen can use his [E] ability True Sir, which will cause this bar to rapidly drain. The length that his [E] can be used is determined based on how much



[PASSIVE] Concealed Weapon - When uneqipping Doyen’s weapon, his speed will increase by 0.2 instead of 0.1 and his defense will only decrease by 0.1 instead of 0.4. (Optional: Doyen will also get a special animation for walking with his weapon unequipped).



[E] True Sir - This [E] ability can only be used if Doyen has his Tea bar over 50% filled. Upon using this, Doyen will take out a cup of tea and begin consuming it, making him unable to move for a few seconds. This will be cancelled out and Doyen’s Tea bar will be completely drained if he takes any damage while drinking tea. If Doyen successfully drinks his tea, he will go “Full Sir” mode, replacing his current hats will be replaced with a top hat, a monocle, and a nice moustache, replacing his shirt and pants with a fancy suit, and increasing his attack and speed by 0.4 for the duration of “Full Sir”. His standard attack combo will also begin to inflict minor stun. Doyen’s Tea bar will rapidly while he is in his “Full Sir” mode. Doyen can exit out of this mode any time by pressing the [E] key again, returning him to his normal attire, but completely draining his Tea bar. Doyen will also be forced out of “Full Sir” mode once his tea bar is completely drained. The duration of Doyen’s True Sir is determined based on how filled the Tea bar is.

<p class="MsoNormal">[Z] Retaliate - This skill only works if Doyen gets parried by an attack. Retaliate will cancel out the parry animation and immediately jabs his blade forward, dashing to the enemy he just hit with the parry, dealing moderate damage and decreasing the enemy’s attack by 0.1 for a couple seconds. Using retaliate will not use up the cooldown in the process (Similar to Barbarian’s Z). (Consumes 5 mana, 8 second cooldown)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">[X] Low Sweep - Doyen will sweep his cane at the enemy’s feet in attempt to pull the enemy’s legs out from under them with the sickle of the cane. Enemies hit by this sweep will take moderate damage and be staggered. If Doyen successfully staggers someone, Doyen will viciously stab the enemy, dealing good damage to them in the process and decreasing their speed by 0.1 for a while. If Doyen misses or fails to stagger the enemy, the skill will go into partial cooldown. (Consumes 25 mana, 16 second cooldown)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">[C] Cane Jab - Doyen will sheath his sword into his cane and quickly dash forward a very short distance, jabbing the cane forward and hitting any enemies in the way. Enemies hit will take moderate damage and have their defense decreased by 0.1 for a while. If the enemy’s stun bar is over 50, this attack will completely drain the enemy’s stun bar and stagger them instead. (Consumes 25 mana, 17 second cooldown)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">[V] Gentlemen - Doyen will thrust his sword forward, stabbing any enemy in front of him. If he successfully grabs an enemy, he will proceed to constantly stab the enemy with the sickle blade on his cane by pressing the [V] key repeatedly. The stab with the sword will consume 30 mana and deal moderate damage while each additional stab with the sickle blade will consume 5 mana deal decent damage and decrease the victim’s defense by 0.05 for a couple seconds. Doyen will end his combo with a light kick dealing light damage and decent pushback. Doyen will automatically cease holding the enemy by his concealed blade if either 3 seconds has passed or Doyen has less than 5 mana remaining. (Consumes 25 mana initially, consumes 5 mana with each stab, 35 second cooldown, 3 second hold time) <ac_metadata title="Class Suggestion: Doyen"> </ac_metadata>
