Tamatoa - Likely (or not) Concept

[Spark]

Hey everyone! This is my first (non-joke) concept! Depending on how it is received, I may make more. Enjoy!

Tamatoa

This crab is most certainly shiny! He uses his sparkle to help allies…And crush foes

“You can’t expect a demigod to beat a decapod”

Role: Control
Position: Frontline
Trials Team:

Animations

Basic Attack: Swings claw at enemies

Entrance: Rises from the ground going from pile of gold to crab

Victory: Does this face:

Defeat: Jet of water propels Tamatoa onto his back

Skills

White Skill: Not Hard Enough

Tamatoa starts dancing and while he dances all allies bypass invincibility buffs on enemies, however they will deal 80% less damage to them instead of a normal amount of their damage. The damage is unchanged on enemies without invincibility buffs.

Green Skill: Crabby, Not Shabby
Fantastic
Tamatoa “strums” the frontmost enemy, dealing X damage, and gives that HP to the frontmost ally.

Blue Skill: Shiny Serenade
Tamatoa shimmers his gold, and charms all frontline enemies for 10 seconds. This has a chance to fail on enemies above level X.

Purple Skill: Look It Up
Tamatoa looks at the player and grants 2 stacks of hardy and 15% of Tamatoa’s Max HP as reality to ally with least HP every 8 seconds.

Red Skill: Send Your Armies
When Tamatoa reaches half of his max HP, all allies are invincible for 10 seconds. This has a chance to fail on allies above level X. Tamatoa gains 1 stack of Hardy every 2 basic attacks.

+X HP
+Y Armor
+Z Basic Damage

Special thanks to Slinky-Dog for the scaffold, and my concept group for helping me.

[Heros_Porcinet_XCIX]

Really great concept! Love it!

[Commander-Rex]

Excellent first concept! Hope to see you make more!

Schaffrillas is visibly proud of you rn.

[Gobernador_Flynn_X]

Actually, Moana characters are in yellow team

@Commander-Rex

Excellent first concept!

It’s a first good one. Looking at my Hocus Pocus one that I wanna remaster

@Gobernador_Flynn_X

Good catch. Fixed it.

[Lucas1999]

It got a ton of nice references and suits the character well!

There are a few technicalities though…

@Spark

Tamatoa shimmers his gold, and charms all frontline enemies for 10 seconds

This is way to OP and also has no variable. I would recommend putting a level restriction: “This has a chance to fail on enemies above level X”

Also consider either the lenght or the amount of heroes charmed

@Spark

player

Ally?

@Spark

When Tamatoa reaches half of his max HP, all allies are invincible for 10 seconds.

Also no variable here, so level restriction could be in place here as well.

@Spark

Buff: Whenever Tamatoa uses “Shiny Serenade”, the charm lasts 5 more seconds
+1 second of charm per star

Way more OP than the skill already was. It would lead enemies to be charmed for 19 (!) seconds with max disk.

So maybe consider a thing like Chesire has: sap on charm. Every enemy has X % chance to be sapped on charm (or another effect)

@Spark

Buff: When Tamatoa uses “Not Hard Enough”, the damage the allies give is multiplied by 30%
+15% damage per star

Also, and this concerns both disks, the effects granted per star are the same as the starting amount. So if you want to get to 90%, you need to have 19% per star.

[Spark]

@Lucas1999

Ally?

If the “player” you quoted is this one:

@Spark

Tamatoa looks at the player

It is in fact supposed to be the player.

And “break the fourth wall” like Tamatoa does in the movie.
Great feedback, Lucas. Thanks

[Lucas1999]

@Spark

And “break the fourth wall” like Tamatoa does in the movie.

Oohh of course! Should have known that! It is very in-character for him to do so

[Spark]

Yeah, lol.
I also made one of his skills have to do with reality (I forget which one) which is also a reference as he “breaks reality”

[Lilpotato6930]

@Commander-Rex

Schaffrillas

he actually ruined my life!

[Spark]

How

[Lilpotato6930]

Pm me so I can talk about how it happens to me

[Spark]

I think I fixed all of the errors
Thanks, Lucas

@Lucas1999

This is way to OP and also has no variable.

It’s pretty weak if so, if all front-line enemies gets KO’d (or none were on enemy side) then this skill does nothing.

@Lucas1999

Way more OP than the skill already was. It would lead enemies to be charmed for 19 (!) seconds with max disk.

Just like Minnie can do, or Mr. Big freeze enemies.

@Spark

Tamatoa starts dancing and while he dances all allies deal 150% more damage to shielded enemies until he runs out of energy.

If so, this is broken.
The hate towards shields…

@Spark

Tamatoa “strums” the frontmost enemy, dealing X damage, and gives that HP to the frontmost ally.

Not sure how it would be even animated in-game.

@Spark

When Tamatoa reaches half of his max HP, all allies are invincible for 10 seconds. This has a chance to fail on enemies above level X.

Allies not enemies.

@Spark

Buff: When Tamatoa uses “Not Hard Enough”, the damage the allies give is multiplied by 30%

Give? Not deal?

@Spark

Not Shabby

At first I thought it was Shaggy

---

Still good concept as for first time

[Spark]

@Musketeer

Not sure how it would be even animated in-game.

Like how he “strums” Maui in this clip. For lack of better words.

@Musketeer

Allies not enemies.

Thanks for telling me.

@Musketeer

Give? Not deal?

Thanks for telling me as well

@Musketeer

How would I fix this

I mean, I saw the movie, but not sure if PB could animated such thing in game.

@Spark

How would I fix this

Maybe countering evil frog named Kermit

“While dancing… allies bypass invincible buffs on enemies but deals 80% less damage to them.”
And the disk would reduced (the threshold) it by 10%, dealing more damage to invincible enemies per star.

At max instead of dealing 0 damage allies will be capable of bypassing invincible buffs on enemies, but dealing 30% less damage.

Can you word this in a way that I can edit it into the concept?

Something like this, I guess.

[Spark]

Amazing.

I loved tamatoa but I’m not a fan of schaff but the concept is “SHINY!”
