Let's just have a big thread for stuff. It'd be nice if we don't have a discussion here, rather someone edits their post after some discord discussion or something. That way stuff here doesn't get lost and forgotten. Just drop in any techniques you think need some reworking.
I'll start off with...
Ki Sword/Spirit Sword/etc: Hitting for full DR seems wild. That is doubly so when you can stack a bunch of DR boosts on the technique. In the case of Ki Sword, it is a technique that makes the 2 advanced per turn limit a joke. In the case of the finishers, it makes the "one use per finisher" limit a joke. No other finisher approaches the ability to hit 4-5 times with a DR7+. Between all that, these techs have a pretty low ki cost.
Suggestions: Any or all of these can help
- DRs cant be boosted on these techs - Make them work like Triple Strike (Each action carries a fraction of the dmg, and you can defend these actions but you can't negate the damage fully) - Make Ki Sword one use per battle (this doesn't do anything to fix the finishers tho) - Increase the ki cost (a lot?) - Make them NOT HYBRID (still doesn't help with the finishers tho) - While we're at it, balance the finishers against each other better.
I'll edit this (or a mod can) when more suggestions are made in discord.

For Ki Sword if it’s DR 6 and you can hit it 3 times for example, the DR 6 would be only if you hit 3 times. So each hit is 1/3rd of a DR 6.
I’m not saying thats how it currently works. But why not have it work that way? Seems so much more simple than saying only the first hit does damage, etc.

I definitely agree Ki Sword is very powerful as is and deserves some type of nerf.
I’m not against fixing Ki Sword-ish techs to be like Triple Strike but definitely think Finishers would then be needed changed to also be three actions vs the 4 and 6. Is that definitely the direction everyones happy with? I personally don’t like Triple Strike so idk if I’d keep the tech if it worked that way but balance wise it could work and be interesting.

Ki Sword should be exempt from DR increases, with a base DR 4 and increased only by master signature to DR 5. I feel like splitting DR into multiple actions can get messy, especially when you factor in mitigation.
