Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Heisoteri. (editor list)
- Ambush is a recode-only ability, inheritor of the Ambush control in Legacy, and thus shares some similarities to it. Ambush can be toggled by pressing (not holding) the correct active ability key (which may vary between creatures). It will automatically deactivate after a set period of time, after stamina runs out, or after halting movement, whichever happens first. Like legacy ambush, recode Ambush ability allows a temporary speed boost according to an ambush multiplier inherent to the species (e.g. x 1.5 or x 1.25), usually granting a faster Sprint (except when the multiplier is x1.0 or lower). It will not be stopped by entering or leaving water once initiated; but at a higher stamina cost and a possible decrease in turn speed, directly making a creature unable to turn while ambushing. Similar to legacy, a creature can know if ambush is toggled not only from the the evident speed boost while moving, but because when pressing the activation button, the camera FOV zooms out a tiny bit. Ambush can be used while sprinting. However, unlike Legacy ambush, pressing the appropriate key again will not stack max time and stamina consumption, and can be initiated underwater by creatures with the appropriate mobility type (however, it still keeps the Legacy characteristic of keeping creatures not adapted to water from initiating ambush underwater). Additionally, Ambushing disrupts strafing.
- Berserk is a passive ability that activates at below 20% health, which increases stamina regeneration by 100% and decreases bite cooldown by 50%.
- Bleed Block/Block Bleed is a passive ability that grants the creature resistance to getting bleed status from melee attacks at the very least, and every other source at most. Recode's equivalent of bleed defense; it is percentage based, e.g. if an attacker deals 5 bleed per hit and the receiver has 60% bleed defense, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 bleed.
- If a creature's Block Bleed is 100%, then they are immune to Bleed inflicted by melee direct attacks once fully grown. This ability is gained gradually as the creature ages, that is, a creature with 100% Block Bleed will have some fraction of bleed defense while growing, being such fraction bigger as it grows.
- A negative value in-game may indicate an extra vulnerability to the status effect this ability is supposed to protect from.
- Burn Attack is an ability that offensively deals burn when biting. Stacks with itself. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
- Charge (Power) or Power Charge is a specific type of Charge that temporarily increases the user's damage slightly and inflicts Shredded Wings on the victim.
- Fire Breath is an active ability using the breath control (C on PC or
on Mobile) that is a type of Elemental Breath that inflicts 1 DPS (0.5% PER HIT). It has a Capacity of 20 seconds of firetime before recoil damage, a Regen Rate of 3.5, a Range of 200 studs, and Critical chance of 5%. It can also inflict the Burn Status ailment (Probability = 75%, STACKS set to 0.2). This ailment adds a stacking effect, potentially increasing the damage over time. - Unbridled Rage is an active ability which upon instantly consuming half of the creature's stamina grants the Unbridled Rage Status for 10 seconds. Has a 120 second cooldown
- Volcanic is a passive effect which grants the creature the ability to walk in lava without getting hurt nor suffering its status debuffs, and during Famine and Drought grants a 50% health regeneration boost and 25% thirst and hunger rate reduction. Volcanic does not protect a creature from Shadow Isle's corrupted lava.
