Belle could quite literally do normal damage with active and be kind of fine lol
New Refresh Concept: Kida
Kida just straight-up doesn’t work, and I blame that on a lot of redundancy in her kit. She feels bare-bones, and even pumping up her numbers won’t really save her. Guess what, boys and girls–it’s rework time!

Could you make a concept for Hook next? It bugs me that his pirate ship doesn’t get to be used in his moveset.
That’s not what refreshes are about 
Refreshes buff a character’s skillset not make completely new skills with completely new animations

Not to mention Hook’s ship isn’t very important to his character–it’s just a ship like any other.
The Black Pearl is featured in Jack Sparrow’s skillset because it’s an integral part of his character in what the Peal represents for him–freedom and wanderlust.
Hook’s ship is merely a tool. Jack’s ship is an ideal and a symbol.

New Refresh Concept: Captain Hook
Speaking of Captain Hook, however, he could use some help, as well. Sap and Study are his only real tricks, and that won’t cut it for a Control hero in these trying times. He just needs some beefier numbers and some pizzazz added to his skills, and voila! This maniacal pirate will be terrorizing the seas once more!

And now everybody’s numbers have been tweaked to keep proper badge levels and Red Skills in mind. I’m sure there’s probably other math fixes I could make, but that’s beyond my fairly casual scope.
So now, if you see any number boost over 200%, then you can be absolutely certain that the scaling for that stat or ability was completely and utterly garbage before I came along.
And just in case anyone is curious, all my Refreshes up to this point have been comparing these heroes with currently pretty strong heroes of their respective roles, at least in terms of numbers–Tanks were all compared to Fred, Damage were all compared to Ron or Zeus, Support were all compared to Flik or Bagheera, and Control were all compared to Mr. Big or Kaa.
New Refresh Concept: Megavolt
This wacky Pikachu clone stands no chance in today’s world, and that’s a shame, because I like his kit. We’re gonna spice things up and let this electric rat do what he does best–collect light bulbs, er, I mean…the other thing!

Nice but Megavolt came before Pikachu in 1991
But still it just noting and this was good arefresh idea
That’s the joke. :V
2 Likes
Megavolt’s white skill actually hits multiple enemies (I seem all of them) per stack. Which means that the fatigue you put on the Zurg disk would be a pretty insane amount (90 stacks on everyone just after the green skill…)
It shooooouuuuuuld just apply the Fatigue to the main bounce target, I’d say? The logistics of programming it are officially not my problem! O:
Wha
When was he a Pikachu Clone
Pokemon features a lot of electric rodents unflatteringly known as “Pikachu clones,” and because Megavolt is an electric rat, a lot of fans joke that he’s among the so-called Pikachu clones, even though the joke is that it’s literally impossible for him to be a clone of a character who was conceived 5 years after he was. It’s an irony thing.

New Refresh Concept: Gonzo
This daring Muppet is playing a very dangerous game these days. With such insignificantly small stats and numbers, Gonzo gets taken out almost immediately as soon as he shows his face in battle anymore. Let’s get these numbers pumped up, and perhaps throw some more bells and whistles into his kit for good measure, and let this bizarre showman wow the crowds once more!
The Refresh
General
- Gonzo’s badges have been adjusted to give him 85% Fantastic Crit and 55% Crit Damage at most Red and Yellow ranks.

- New effect: Gonzo’s basic attacks hit an additional time per 15% HP he’s missing
"Passive: Gonzo’s basic attack hits all enemies, and sends an additional chicken for another hit for every 15% HP he’s missing.
Gonzo incites 4 hypnotized chickens to stampede, each dealing X damage to all enemies and Stunning them for 8 seconds."
Green Skill - My Next Act
- Increased damage by 200%
- Now also hits enemies that are also untargetable due to their entrances
- Now hits all enemies a second time for the same damage upon landing
“Gonzo cannonballs into each wave of combat, hitting all enemies for X damage before landing to deal X damage to all enemies once again. This attack will also hit enemies that are invulnerable during their entrance animations.”
Blue Skill - Raise the Stakes
- Completely reworked
"Gonzo gains a stack of Hardy for each chicken summoned during Chicken Run. Each stack of Hardy removed from Gonzo causes an additional chicken to be summoned with his next use of Chicken Run.
The Hardy application has a chance to fail above level X."

- New effect: Gonzo also deals 2% increased damage per 1% HP he’s missing
"Gonzo takes 0.75% reduced damage and deals 2% increased damage for every 1% HP he’s currently missing.

Red Skill - Talent Search
- Increased heal per second by 150% and now triggers when Gonzo has Hardy stacks
- All of Gonzo’s basic attacks now Stun the Most Wanted enemy, instead of every 3rd attack
- Level requirement removed from the Stun
- Bonus maximum HP increased by 75%
"While Gonzo has Hardy stacks from Raise the Stakes, he is healed for X HP every second.
Additionally, Gonzo’s basic attacks Stun the Most Wanted enemy for 4 seconds. The Most Wanted enemy is the enemy that has dealt the most damage."

Is is possible for the devs to do that
I’m sure it is. It’s likely just a matter of doing calculations on their compu-trons and going into the badge list in his data to swap as needed.

Possible, rather yes.
But devs say they never will change existing badges, once done it will never be changed. If anything, future ranks can be adjusted.
I am APPALLED you haven’t considered Ralph yet.
His stats are weak compared to most tanks, to the point where even non-tanks have more health and armor than he does at maximum level.
His kit is weak, and only consists of stuns and silences for offense, which don’t even stick for that long.
His disks are laughably useless and barely help him at all since he’s taking all the damage for everyone else, and only focus on his weak stuns.
And the only good defense he has is a regenerative heal that will most likely get shredded faster than getting back to full health because most meta damage heroes now do more damage than he can heal TOTAL.
Ralph is BEGGING for a heavy refresh or even a REWORK to make him even usable at all.

I mean, they’re literally never going to do a Refresh for Ralph (or Vanellope, Elastigirl, or Frozone), so there’s not really a point in making one.
And when I say they’re literally never going to do it, I’m not being hyperbolic–the devs have outright said so.
