Eastern Elephant Demigod

from Demigod Forums

My idea is a half elephant, half man demigod.

 

Art Style:  Hindu

Play Style: Tank / General

Concept:

The elephant would rely heavily on white damage, with no real offensive abilities, but have alot of self buffs and minions whose sole purpose is healing.  Can have a maximum of 2 minions to start.

Ability 1: Invulnerability

Provides the demigod with limited invulnerability (2/3/4/5/8 seconds) 60 second cooldown

Ability 2: Boon

Your minions gain +(50/75/100/150%) healing for the next 15 seconds. 30 second cooldown

Ability 3: Tusk Smash

You swing your tusks dealing devastating damage to structures. (200/300/400/600 damage) 15 second cooldown

Ability 4: Stampede

Your movement speed is increased by 75/125/175/200% for 4/6/8/10 seconds, and anyone you run over is dealt 50/100/150/200 damage and knocked to the side. 25 second cooldown

 

Minion upgrades:

Upgrade 1: Increase number of minions by 4/6/8/10

Upgrade 2: Increase amount of minion healing by 10/20/30/50%

Upgrade 3: Minions also grant +5 mana per 5 seconds per minion

Upgrade 4: Minions will randomly increase the demigods attack power by 15/20/25/50. (Chance is 2/5/8/10% every 10 seconds)

 

The elephant would have a conversion aura and maybe a skill in his tree to upgrade it's effectiveness.  Every 10/9/8/6 seconds he has a 5/10/15/25% chance to convert one grunt of either side into a minion.

 

What do you guys think?

I like the idea, but have you seen how they have avoided contempary religious references?  For good reason :)

I like it would be cool to have a rampaging elephant charging through the battle field converting the enemies :)

No. Make sure there is a guy on top that controls this elephant.

That would be aneat Idea. I think a Shiva-esque Demigod would be cooler though. You know, bluish skin, lots of arms, etc. Very majestic and sneaky.

They haven't avoided contemporary religious references at all.  If anything they've embraced them.  We have Regulus and angel units, and the unclean beast arguably has some religous references as well.

I think this is a GREAT idea, I would love to see a giant hindu elephant doing its thing.  But it could use fleshing out and balancing of course.  I would suggest that 1.  it be a guy riding an elephant or better a guy with elaborate persian/hindu clothes who turns into an elephant.  2.  More units is bad, gives more experience to enemies.  Having that as #1 in the list of a skill would be bad then.  I would suggest it be the very last one.

dude, you may not have read the origin stories, the species of angels are likened to angels, not actual, 'we serve jehova' angels. they are naked, and have wings. thats as close as it gets.

 and as far as the unclean beast goes, its origin stories draw closely to the necrominicon (like in evil dead) but the closest biblical reference to it would be the behemoth, and thats not a great deal like the unclean beast.

also, maybe a trade on the unit generation experience problem, convert enemy units! witha long cooldown... the enemy might get more exp, but they might also get their arse kicked by their own units... and their units stop attacking you. very classy =]

I didn't mean to make him Hindu, just an art syle that is Hindu-esque.  Similar to how Regulus is Angel-esque, and the Unclean beast is kinda Hellish.  I mean, a walking/stampeding Elephant demigod I think would look pretty cool.  And yeah, this was just kind of an idea, no balance to it whatsoever.

I really really hate the skill ideas but I guess an elephant demigod wouldn't be too bad.

But I think it'd be neater if someone was riding on it..
