That reminds me! Lugu, how much is an upgrade for Gren to have Rocket Boosters on his body? they're to help him steer when he moved around using his Semblance as well as aerial mobility. I think I have 9 credits for Gren's mission and GMing two other ones? Plus some more from contest, which I think adds up to about 13

How much would it increase his combat effectiveness?

Well, considering that one of Gren's weakness is his general lack of controlled mobility, I'd say pretty effective. While he's certainly not sluggish (As I keep saying, get into melee range and you can see just how fast he can swing The God Eater) he does lack the ability to keep up with most speedsters. With the rocket boosters that ought to give him a burst of speed to close the distance, as well as make his God Eater assisted flight more manageable. And of course there are other uses of the rocket boosters too: He can direct and adjust their angles freely, allowing them to be turned into anti-personal flame throwers by aiming the exhaust towards his opponent. If he can Friction Stick them over the exhaust, and he'll BBQ them.

That being said, these rocket boosters alone won't be enough to grant him full on flight, considering his weight. Maybe slow his decent or boost his jumps. But less so if they have to resist the force of shooting The God Eater, since the recoil alone turns him into a kinetic missile if he's not firmly rooted to something solid. Though I would also like him to eventually upgrade to what will essentially become a jetpack, and I'm willing to pay additional upgrades if necessary.

How does one upgrade self-healing, I wonder?

Make them self heal harder?

The upgrades I'm considering for Oswald are insane.

Insane, I tell you. Which is why I threw at least half of them out.

Upgrades would be fun.

But there's something to be said for going through the game with default stats.

Hard mode engaged.

I think that would be a 7 then.

That sword and shield is gonna be annoying

nito. How much would it cost to upgrade for him to actually be capable of self-sustained flight using the same rocket thrusters?

Should how many armory upgrades would adding a Jet Engine Pilebunker mode to the drillfists be

I'm tempted to get my SYMPHOGEAH on up in this bitch

That sword and shield is gonna be annoying

You know it combines into a giant f*cking Axe, right?

I can work with that

I need to get in on the fighting games happening. Can anyone best Jack's lightning speed reflexes?

I don't know how well he'd respond to water all over the floor but thats all i got XD. That and a sudden increase in gravity.

Oswald's beat hope is to just weather the storm and either clothesline Jack or teleport in front of him and proceed to die of laughter as Jack slams into the meatshield at FAST miles per hour

Hey, making him slip and slide is a totally valid strategy too. That's essentially Gren's Plan B: If he can't stop them, he'll make sure they can't stop themselves. After all one of the biggest strengths of a speedster can be their own weakness too. Inertia is a cruel mistress, and I'm sure going lightning speed right into a wall is gunna hurt.

Incidentally, this is one of Gren's weaknesses when he tries to go fast, since the only way he can stop or even slow himself if he's going quickly is to hit the brakes using his Semblance, and give himself a case of whiplash while he's at it. He at least has the durability to survive the shock, but it's not something he likes to do too often for obvious reasons. I'm hoping to fix that with these rocket upgrades.

Straightline bursts can only do so much.

Now that I think about it, this was how Gren sorta lost his first battle against Indigo. While Gren could generate a hella lot of force riding the recoil of The God Eater, Indigo put a little barrier right in front of Gren's hand. Gren was going fast and hard, but that barrier was strong enough, and small enough, that it needed only to resist the palm of Gren's hand. Gren's hand was destroyed since it essentially got Swisscheesed. Fortunately for him he has extra hands to use, otherwise that would have been much bloodier....

We could indeed to tag battles, or team battles. Does @anyone else want to do that?

Basically, find your partner, start a collab, invite me so that I can give my approval and add some comments from Goodwitch, and then post the collab whenever. The deadline for this ordeal is as of yet undetermined, but will certainly not be longer than two weeks.

@Onarax

Vega-Napoli duo perhaps?

Does this mean our characters are still going to fight with the characters they are to face?

Anybody want to tag or team i'm game for it.

I'm not necessarily in favor of tag battles this time. Next time I think we will, however.

Looks like another of Team RPGD is gone...speaking of which, where's Paige? Haven't seen her in a while, methinks.

Also,

Paige said they'd be back late August. They went on vacation or something.
