Missions and Monsters #3 - Samurai Class

Hello everyone! This week, we want to cover one of the new classes that we're adding in Missions and Monsters, the Samurai class! But before that, some quick notes about Missions: Since posting our devlog on the Missions system, we've been thinking about adding a currency cost to missions. As we've been creating the list of them (we're up to 79 missions so far!), it became obvious the cost was a good idea. We've decided to use both GP and CP (Company Points) for the cost. A mission will only have a GP or CP cost at once, but they'll always have a cost. This will help make GP less "trivial" to accrue and give it increased worth. And it will give CP another use apart from being used for Guild Upgrades, which will create an opportunity-cost for them. This change ties things together neatly and elegantly! It's just a question of creating all the remaining Missions now! Thanks to everyone that sent us feedback on this, we appreciate it!

Samurai Class:

With Missions and Monsters, we'll be adding 3 new base classes to human units. Base class means they'll be usable by any unit (story and generic) and won't require a badge to open up. The new classes are tied to missions though, and will only become visible after the associated mission has been completed, on top of having the usual class requirements (eg. 3 Mercenary, 4 Scoundrel, etc.). The default portrait for the Samurai unit:

The basic design idea behind the Samurai class is a mix of high-risk/high-reward abilities and passives, as well as a fairly versatile kit. They sport some interesting unique abilities to give them varied options. Samurais should be somewhat fragile in the face of taking damage, but deal fairly well with status effects, while providing high damage and utility for the team. Here's their ability list (please note the names aren't final at this point). As a note, a fair amount of these abilities apply their status effect on the Samurai themselves, so pay close attention to the wording! Actives:

Overreach: 8MP. Attack range tied to weapon. Count as a regular attack. Deals 1.2x damage and inflicts def-down on the user.
Meditate: 6MP. Self spell that removes all debuffs and heals 0.6x (mnd) for each debuff removed. Sets user evasion to 0% until next turn.
Finisher: 20MP. Attack range tied to weapon. Count as a regular attack. Deals 2.4x damage and inflicts atk-down on the user.
Single Out: 8MP. Range 5, single target. Inflicts def-down, res-down on the target and force them to turn towards the user.
Spirit Sword: 14MP. Range 1. Does 2.6x (MND) non-elemental damage to the target and inflicts int-down on the user.
Martial Spirit: 10MP. A small cross shape centered on the user. It deals 0.35x damage to all units around, inflicts cripple on them and forces them to face the user.
Blood Spirit: 8MP. Range 1. Does 0.6x damage to the target and ignores their def stat. Also inflicts bleed on the user.

Passives:

Razor Wind: Can use with any single-target skill. Adds 6MP to the cost and changes the range to 3. Sets user evasion to 0% until the next turn. (This adds a new command, much like Double Cast).
Unbreakable Spirit: Being afflicted by def-down/mnd-down increases atk/int by the same amount. Being afflicted by atk-down/int-down increases def/res by the same amount.

Weapons: Sword Armors: Light, Heavy

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - Missions and Monsters

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is a story-driven, turn-based tactical RPG set in a fantasy world with a touch of steampunk. Take control of the Arbiter Kyrie, an agent of the Immortal Council tasked with preserving stability and order throughout the land, and lead your troops through difficult encounters.

Experience an epic and mature story, unfolding through over 40 story encounters and topped with challenging end-game content.
Classic tactical combat battles, with rugged terrain and elevation, taking place on beautiful hand-drawn environments.
A deep and complex class system with over 20 classes and 200 abilities lets you truly customize every one of your characters through the selection of their class, sub-class and passives. Carefully craft the character you envision, be it a versatile generalist, a dedicated spell-caster or a mighty foe-crushing specialist!
Customize your troops' appearance your way, by selecting their portrait, outfit, colors and overall visuals from a wide selection.
Equip your army with over 240 pieces of equipment, either purchased, gathered from fallen enemies or created from crafting.

Story:

Centuries ago, a brutal beast of destruction rent the world asunder. In this time of need, the first Immortals came into their uncanny powers, powers so great that they succeeded in destroying the beast ravaging the land, where all else had failed.

To prevent such destruction from ever happening again, the Immortals banded together to form a Council that would enforce order and stability on a global scale, stepping in at any hint of war or chaos.

The Immortals might be vastly powerful, but they are few. Even they can't oversee all of the lands. This is why they rely upon their mortal agents, the Arbiters, to guard the land's people from the more day-to-day dangers they face. Arbiters range over the land, rooting out bandits, unruly monsters, and crooked officials; their word is law.

But one Arbiter uncovers the deepening corruption pervading her own order, and it falls to her to halt the spread of a threat as dire as the brutal beast of yore.

About the game:

Strongly influenced by games such as Final Fantasy Tactics (original and Advance versions) and Tactics Ogre, this tactical RPG stands on its own as a worthy successor of those classics, bringing a slew of improvements and additions to the tactics genre.
