Class Introduction:

Dragonslayer is based on Ornstein from Dark Souls, though I interpret him more broadly. He's primarily a damage dealer which specializes in killing size 2 targets, and armored targets. He has access to some support skills, too. A variety of trinkets allow him to fill multiple roles, and you can play him as a shuffler or stationary character.

Combat Skills:

Swift Strike:

- - O O v X X - -

Dragonslayer's standard attack. It gains damage against size 2 targets, and builds electricity to empower his Lightning Impale.

Lightning Spear:

O O O - v X X X -

Dragonslayer hurls lightning at his enemies, piercing armor with it. This attack builds electricity to empower his Lightning Impale. From position 2, it does far less damage, but can push enemies. Moves Dragonslayer back 1.

Princess' Guard:

O O O O 

Dragonslayer defends an ally as he would his Princess of Light. He gains some dodge and activates Riposte.

Lightning Impale:

- O O O v X X - -

Dragonslayer impales his enemy. Without electricity gathered from other attacks, this attack is merely a low-damage stun. Moves Dragonslayer forward 1. Bonus damage on marked targets.

Lightning Dash:

O O - - v X X X X

Dragonslayer charges at the enemy, piercing their armor with his spear. Bonus damage on marked targets. This attack builds electricity to empower his Lightning Impale.

Golden Glint: 

- - O O v X X X X

Dragonslayer dodges backwards, ready to riposte. Light reflects from his armor and blinds an enemy temporarily.

Bountiful Sunlight:

O O O O 

Dragonslayer calls upon one of his Princess' miracles to help an ally. He gains Faith, amplifying his Lightning Spear's damage.


Camp Skills:

In addition to the normal camp skills, Dragonslayer has...

Dynamic Duo: Dragonslayer creates a tag team with a partner from the party, bestowing similar stats the Executioner had.
Lion's Assault: Dragonslayer amplifies his crit.
Captain's Vigil: Dragonslayer provides watch, removing threat of ambush and reducing surprise chance.
Sacred Oath: Dragonslayer casts a miracle held by two of his old companions, increasing his damage and protection.

Trinkets:

Dragonslayer Soul: Bonus damage on ranged attacks and virtue chance.
Ring of the Firstborn: Bonus damage on ranged attacks. 
Ring of the Sun Princess: Gains great bonus healing at the large cost of melee damage.
Leo Ring: Gains riposte damage.
Dragonslayer Band: Gains bonus damage from position 1, and against size 2 targets.

Dragonslayer Swordspear: CC trinket. Gain melee damage and strong virtue chance at the cost of much more stress.
Shield of the Rock: CC trinket. Gain immense protection, health, and move resistance at the cost of speed.

Final Thoughts:

I've wanted to revisit the Dragonslayer for a long time. It was my first mod. 

I think my skills have come a long way, and my ability to deliver quality has improved. 

This uprade to Dragonslayer is very simple, but I have absolutely crazy things planned for Sir Alonne. He will likely be my final mod. I had to resist the urge to implement his ideas into the Dragonslayer 2.0. The principle goal was to provide solid quality for the people who liked my more support-based Dragonslayer.

I think I've succeeded. I'm sure I'll hear whether I have or not.

If I revisit this guy again, he'll likely have stances.

A Friendly Request:

I like feedback. Reach Caedwyn on Steam, or post on the mods there, if you can. I rarely check the Nexus.


Future plans:

-Sir Alonne will be my masterpiece. He's coming soon.
