Hero Refresh Concepts

But how will that work? :thinking:

Each stack of happiness grants X SP to allies - scaled by BD. Or reality-armor just for her.

Donald Duck

+25% Max HP
+30% Basic Damage
+50% Skill Power

Skills

Fly into a Rage
Donald jumps to the nearest enemy in a rage, dealing damage to them.

  • Deals damage to nearby enemies as well

There are two ways to improve this skill, either increase the damage to make it a very potent single target damage skill or damaging multiple enemies. The latter would be more useful though and it makes his purple skill make some sense.

Green skill is fine

Ruffled Feathers
Once per wave, when Donald falls below 50% of his max HP, he is healed and gains 400 energy over 12 seconds.

  • +50% HP healed
  • Increased energy to 500
  • Remove heal/energy over time

This skill is alright but the 12 seconds is rather odd. Donald is most likely going to gain more energy regularly in 12 seconds than with this skill. By removing the time limit it is an instant buff that can help him suddenly deal more damage.

Short Tempered

Whenever an ally is debuffed, Donald absorbs it without affecting him instead. He can store up to 3 of these debuffs every 5 seconds and randomly applies stored debuffs to enemies during Fly into a Rage.
The chance to absorb debuffs is reduced against enemies above level X.

  • Change to 2 debuffs every 3 seconds

This change is simple but would help Donald act as a very powerful off-support hero. This change means he absorbs fewer debuffs quicker which may seem like a nerf but this way he will ultimately be able to store more debuffs.

Red skill is fine

Ralph

+150% Max HP
+100% Basic Damage
+30% Skill Power

Skills

Wreck It
Slams the ground, dealing damage to enemies near him and stunning them for 3 seconds.
The stun has a chance to fail against enemies higher than level X.

  • +500% Damage
  • Increased stun duration to 7 seconds
  • Remove level restriction

Need I explain this change? I will anyway. The damage 'tis but a scratch if that. The stun wears off before you can say “I’m gonna wreck it” and it isn’t even always guaranteed to be applied. This skill is just sad and this buff would actually give it use.

Shouting Match
Ralph shouts at his enemies, dealing damage and silencing them for 2 seconds.
The silence has a chance to fail against enemies higher than level X.

  • +1000% Damage (yes 1000)
  • Increased silence duration to 12 seconds
  • Remove level restriction

This skill may as well not exist as it never does anything of substance. The damage needs to be seriously buffed and a 2 second silence??? What was PerBlue thinking? If these changes were made then I’d like to think that Ralph could be very powerful in PvP.

Grand Slam
Ralph slams his fist down on a single enemy, dealing damage and stunning them for 7 seconds.
The stun has a chance to fail against enemies higher than level X.

  • +150% damage
  • Increased stun duration to 12 seconds
  • Remove level restriction

This skill isn’t bad as it is but the damage is underwhelming and for a single target ability the stun should be longer.

Big Duty
Once per wave when Ralph falls below 30% HP, he regenerates HP over 10 seconds.

  • Activates at 50% HP

This skill is decent however there are times when Ralph will die shortly after this skill activates so if it activated earlier it would be more useful.

Red skill is fine

Disks

Vanellope - "Piece of Cake"
Boosts Stuns
+X Skill Power
+Y% Stun Length

  • +1500% Skill Power (yes 1500)
  • Increased 5th star to 50%
  • Increases armour by 3% per star when an enemy is stunned

This disk is awful but I don’t know which of his is worse. The skill power is pathetic and the bonus stun length isn’t much.

Jack Sparrow - "Hero’s Duty"
Heals on Stun
Heals X HP every time an enemy is stunned
+Y% Improved Healing

  • +1000% HP healed (yes 1000)
  • Whenever Ralph heals he gains 3% Reality per star

This disk is also very bad. The heal is very minimal to have much effect.


Frozone

image

+50% Max HP
+75% Basic Damage

Skills

Stay Frosty
Frozone throws ice at foes, freezing them for 4 seconds.
The freeze has a chance to only last for 1 second on enemies higher than level X.

  • Increased freeze duration to 8 seconds
  • Reduces enemies’ reality by X while frozen
  • Remove level restriction

Umm
 this skill is just a joke. It doesn’t do anything beyond a freeze which even a little bit of tenacity can easily defend against. By making these changes his white skill would have potential to become quite good at shutting down entire teams.

Cold Front
Shoots an icy wave at the closest enemy, dealing damage.

  • +100% Damage
  • Freezes the enemy for 10 seconds

This skill is probably Frozone’s best one yet it is still awful. The damage needs a serious buff and to avoid it being a stale skill a freeze could greatly help.

Arctic Chill
Blasts the closest enemy, freezing them for 8 seconds.
The freeze has a chance to only last for 2 seconds on enemies higher than level X.

  • Saps them for 8 seconds
  • Change level restriction to affect the sap

This skill is just as bland and useless as his white. Rather than copying the white I thought adding a sap instead would be more interesting and would allow for a guaranteed 8 second freeze.

Frostbite
Enemies that Frozone freezes take damage every second they are frozen.

  • +150% damage
  • Change to freezes from all sources

This skill could be quite powerful with a decent damage increase. Also, it’s a bit odd that it only applies to enemies frozen by Frozone.

Red Skill idea: Cool Ice
Frozone heals X HP every second that at least one enemy is frozen.
Frozen cannot fall below 1 HP while at least one enemy is frozen.
+X Damage dealt by Cold Front
+X Max HP
+X Skill Power

Disks

Mr. Incredible - "Bowling Night"
Give Bonus to Tank Allies
Tank heroes on team gain X armour
Tank heroes on team gain Y% All Damage Done

  • +50% Armour
  • Increased 5th star to 50%
  • FIX THE WORDING OF THE DISK

This disk is confusing. The armour is alright but could be buffed however I don’t understand what the memory upgrade does due to the awful wording.

EVE - "Cool as Ice
Stay Frosty Heals Allies
Stay Frosty now also freezes allies below 50% HP, healing them for X HP over 2 seconds
+Y Reality Negation

  • Remove the freeze
  • Increased 5th star to 50

This disk is interesting. It isn’t great to be freezing your allies mid-fight so that’s why I propose the split second freeze.

3 Likes

Better idea: maybe instead of freezing allies he shields them instead, and then allies heal while shielded from frozone, regardless of their HP.

A shield doesn’t make sense though.

2 Likes

Comparing it to freezing your own allies, I’d say shielding is better.

Not enough as for now.
I would add a bonus which increases Ralph’s armor and reality by 5% (per star) whenever he disable an enemy.

Also not enough.
I would add something like above, but Ralph will gain armor and reality when he is under healing over time.
30% per star

Just remove the freeze, and make the heal always possible, just as anything else.
Seems PB wanted to be creative here, but this just won’t work.

And increase reality negation.


I would increase damage only by 100%, it honestly do good damage. The second part is great.

(Ralph) Increase the bonuses by 50%.

Megavolt, Dash, Rap and Rex would like to meet them.
No, shield as for now is a way to grave.

Make this disk to work also on Frozone.

All damage means increases to all; basic damage, skill power and true damage.

I was never sure if it meant that they healed for all damage done, increased their damage output, etc.

Then should the disk be that allies heal while frozen?

Don’t bring up Basil around Musketeer.

For sure this will be more useful, much more characters are using freezes, and almost none silences! What PB had in the mind while making this disk, ehhh!

Back to idea, good, but as stated, this might not work, too much tenacity, evasion and hardy stacks, but then freezes at least happens. So would work sometimes, better than never.

But still, it would be better as one-time strong heal as Joy’s without some odd and unnecessary things.

Jessie

image

+75% Max HP
+10% Basic Damage
+40% Skill Power

Skills

Hootenanny
Jessie leaps into the middle of the enemies and kicks them repeatedly, dealing damage with each kick and stealing 4 buffs from the enemies she damages.

  • +25% Damage
  • Jessie cannot be interrupted while using this skill

This skill is actually really good given the age of Jessie. I understand that it has been buffed but a little more couldn’t hurt. Also, being able to complete this skill would be helpful.

Sonic Yodel
Jessie lets out an ear piercing yodel that damages all enemies. The yodel does at least X damage. The damage increases the closer Jessie is to the enemies, up to a max of X.

  • +200% minimum damage
  • Silences enemies for 6 seconds

This skill is good against frontliners but rather meh against backliners. If the damage was increased and a bonus effect added, then this skill would be quite potent against newer heroes.

Blue skill is fine

Kick up a Row
Jessie’s line dancing skills allow her to dodge enemy attacks. She has a 25% chance to dodge any basic attacks or skills from enemies level X or below. If Jessie successfully dodges a disable, her attack speed is increased 60% for 5 seconds.
Jessie’s chance to dodge is reduced against enemies who are above level X.

  • Increased dodge chance to 50%

This skill is good for what it is but it isn’t at the same level as more recent heroes i.e. 50% dodge chance. I get that this combined with her Judy disk would make her too OP so I will propose a change to the Judy disk.

Red skill is fine

Disks

Judy - "Boot Scoot"
Chance to Dodge
+X Max HP
Jessie has a Y% chance to dodge enemy attacks

  • Change description to ‘Chance to dodge; Heals on dodge’
  • Reduced 5th star to 20%
  • Jessie heals X HP whenever she dodges an attack

This disk is really good but it would become to OP when combined with the refreshed Purple skill. These changes would still allow the disk to be excellent while not being OP.

Buzz - "Falling With Style"
Start Combat With Energy
+X Basic Damage
+Y Starting Energy

  • +100% Basic Damage

This disk is really helpful at giving Jessie an instant niche in battle however the disk power variable suffers the same issue as most early game disks.


WALL-E

image

+50% Max HP
+15% Skill Power
+100% Basic Damage

Skills

Extinguish
WALL-E flies through enemies with a fire extinguisher. Enemies take damage over 5 seconds and have a chance to be frozen for 5 seconds.
The freeze has a chance to fail against enemies higher than level X.

  • +300% Damage
  • Increased freeze duration to 6 seconds
  • Remove level restriction

This skill is just bad. The low damage output and the fact that the freeze isn’t guaranteed makes it quite useless. By giving a decent impact WALL-E would be more prominent in Freeze teams.

Solar Power
WALL-E uses his solar panel to grant allies 260 energy and blind enemies for 5 seconds.
The blind has a chance to fail against enemies above level X.

  • Increased blind duration to 8 seconds

This skill is great at making WALL-E an off-support hero but it is weak for a Control hero. The blind duration isn’t great so it should be buffed.

Compactor
WALL-E creates a garbage box and pushes it at the closest enemy, knocking them back and dealing damage.

  • +100% Damage
  • Stuns the enemy for 8 seconds

This skill is pretty decent however it is certainly underpowered in comparison to most other heroes. WALL-E doesn’t feel too much like a Control hero as it is so a stun would help change this.

Purple skill is fine

Red Skill Idea: Rusty Robot
Whenever WALL-E disables an enemy the cooldown of Solar Power is decreased by 2 seconds.
Disables last 30% less on WALL-E and allies.
Reduced disable length has a chance to fail when the disable was applied by an enemy above level X.
+X Damage dealt by Extinguish
+X Max HP
+X Reality

Disks

Dash - "Rusty Sidekick"
Longer Disables
+X Skill Power
+Y% Disable Length to WALL-E and allies
Allies gain Y energy when they disable an enemy

  • +200% Skill Power
  • Increased 5th star to 50% and 70

This disk is alright but it lacks a lot in its disk power stats and the memory upgrades are a bit meh.

Kevin Flynn - "Legacy Hardware"
More Team Energy Storage
+X Skill Power
+Y Max Energy to WALL-E and allies
For every 400 energy an ally has, they gain X basic damage

  • +100% Skill Power and Basic Damage

Need I say anything about these changes.

Nice concepts!

This is where I am a bit perplexed. Given that the skill already blinds all enemies, he’d just use it all the time.

Evasion and hardy stacks wants to say something else.

Baymax

image

+100% Max HP
+50% Basic Damage
+50% Skill Power

Skills

Healthcare Companion
Baymax shields allies for 9.5 seconds.

  • +80% Shield HP
  • Shields last 12 seconds

This skill isn’t bad per se, however, it could receive a decent buff to make them more worthwhile. The bonus health is the more important part and will help Baymax be far more helpful in PvP modes.

Blast Off
At the start of combat, Baymax charges across the screen dealing damage to all enemies and granting allies a shield for 8 seconds.

  • +30% Damage
  • +50% Shield HP

This skill is really good at giving Baymax and his allies an early edge in battle so it doesn’t really need anything major. These buffs would make the skill even more potent.

Scan
Baymax scans the enemy with the highest Armor, studying them for 12 seconds.
The Study has a chance to fail against enemies above level X.

  • Increased study length to 18 seconds
  • The studied enemy has their attack speed reduced by 40% while studied
  • Change the level restriction to speed debuff

This skill is honestly quite meh. A simple study that isn’t necessarily guaranteed is rather pathetic given other similar skills that exist. By adding a bonus effect this skill would become more useful.

Optimized Armor
Baymax’s shields from Healthcare Companion and Blast Off reduce damage taken from critical hits by 40%
This effect is reduced against enemies above level X.

  • If the shield is destroyed by a critical hit the timer of the shield is reset and the shield has X HP
  • Remove level restriction

This skill can be helpful against heroes like Mulan however it feels very empty without an additional effect. This skill would help massively against crit-heavy teams.

Protective Programming
Every time a shield is applied to Baymax or an ally, they receive 1 stack of hardy. Baymax can apply up to 10 stacks of hardy every 12 seconds.
When Baymax has a shield, his armor is increased.
The hardy has a chance to fail on allies above level X.

  • Remove level restriction

Pretty self-explanatory.

Friendships

Olaf - "Snow Day"
Blast Off Freezes Enemies
+X Skill Power
Blast Off also freezes enemies for Y seconds

  • +100% Skill Power
  • Increased 5th star to 4 seconds

This disk is Ok for Arena but is fairly useless everywhere else. The skill power boost is a lot lower than most other disks and the freeze feels a bit short.
