User request: LIMITIOUS — DUELIST RAPIER [IDENTITY] Execution-focused thrust weapon with brass-metal swept hilt. Directional, timing-gated air control enables true mid-air suspension for skilled players. Tight cones, server-authoritative checks, explicit numeric caps for PvE/PvP. RAPIER BASELINE [MECHANIC] Base Attack Damage = 10.0 Base Attack Speed = 2.00. Reach = 3.0 blocks. Directional Physics = all SKILL hits apply knock along the user’s look vector. [VISUAL] Slim triangular blade; polished yellow-brass guard/knuckle bow/quillon; pinkish-red channel flickers on perfect timings; thrusts leave thin shear lines that fade ≤0.25s. [CONTROLS] Standard left-click for basic thrusts; skills as bound below. AERIAL SYSTEM — SUSPEND AND DIRECTION [MECHANIC] Every SKILL hit (not basic attacks) applies Slow Falling to both user and target for 1.20s and pops the target ↑1.5 blocks. Horizontal shove follows the user’s look vector per skill. Each fresh SKILL hit refreshes the 1.20s Slow Falling. [JUGGLE RESIST] Consecutive SKILL hits on the same target within 3.0s add +1 Juggle Resist (max 6). Each stack: −12% subsequent lift height and −10% suspension time. A Perfect Link clears 1 stack; a Perfect Parry Counter clears 2. Bosses begin with 3 stacks. [PERFECT LINK WINDOW] 0.15s after a SKILL impact, a 0.20s window opens; casting a different SKILL inside ignores that skill’s remaining cooldown and the global lockout. Same-skill chains do not qualify. PvP window = 0.15s. [VISUAL] White tick marks over target for Juggle Resist; ruby flash across the hilt on Perfect Link. [CONTROLS] Automatic—achieved by timing and routing. FLECHE — FORWARD THRUST (LUNGE) [MECHANIC] Dash 8.0 blocks in 0.22s. On contact (each enemy passed): deal 2.0 hearts + 50% of current Weapon Attack Damage (post-attributes/enchants), shove 2.0 blocks along look vector, apply Slow Falling 1.20s and Slowness I (20%) for 0.80s, and pop ↑1.5 blocks. If triggered inside a Perfect Link, add +1.0 heart TRUE damage to the first target struck. Cooldown = 3.50s; ignored on Perfect Link. On hit, gain +20% move speed for 1.0s. [VISUAL] Narrow displacement ripple; crisp lunge “sting.” [CONTROLS] " SHIFT + SPACE ". BIND RISE — VERTICAL SLASH (ASCENT) [MECHANIC] Vertical dash ↑5.0 blocks sends the target upwards ↑6.0 blocks. On contact: deal 3.0 hearts + 30% of current Weapon Attack Damage passing through armor, apply Slow Falling 1.20s and Slowness I (20%) for 0.80s, add a 0.5-block nudge along look vector, and pop ↑1.5 blocks. If the target already has your Slow Falling from a SKILL this air phase, add +0.5 heart TRUE damage. Cooldown = 2.50s. If you land any melee hit during this cooldown, reset BIND RISE once per target per 1.0s (execution-gated reset). [VISUAL] Tight vertical helix cut; rising chime that pitch-shifts on Perfect Link. [CONTROLS] " CTRL + SPACE " while aiming at a target. REDOUBLEMENT — EIGHT-CUT FLOURISH [MECHANIC] Eight rapid slashes/thrusts over 0.80s. Each cut: 1.75 hearts + 0.05 heart TRUE damage, 0.5-block directional shove along look vector, apply Slow Falling 1.20s and Slowness I (20%) for 0.50s, and pop ↑1.5 blocks. Total if all connect += 0.40 TRUE before modifiers. Steering between cuts updates direction. Cooldown = 4.45s. Each cut adds a Juggle Resist stack to that target. [CONTROLS] " SHIFT + S ". PARRY — PRIME [MECHANIC] Perfect window = 0.10s on pose start; Partial window = 0.25s after. Perfect: take 25% of incoming, reflect 125% back, apply RIPOSTE for 0.60s (next thrust deals +60% damage and +1.0 heart TRUE), stagger non-boss for 0.30s, clear 2 Juggle stacks on your current target. Partial: take 60%, reflect 40%, no stagger, no RIPOSTE. Near-melee arrows reflect; distant projectiles deflect. Internal cooldown between Perfects = 0.40s. [VISUAL] Brass-bright circular spark; brief scene desaturation; high-pitch ping. [CONTROLS] " RIGHT CLICK (HOLD) ". DISENGAGE — FEINT CANCEL [MECHANIC] Cancel any rapier swing during the first 30% of its animation. After cancel, a 1.00s Feint Buff grants +40% damage on your next hit and widens your next Perfect Parry window by +0.08s. If that next hit is a Parry counter (RIPOSTE), reflect increases to 200% instead of 125%. Feint Buff internal cooldown = 2.00s. A Feint-buffed hit clears 1 Juggle stack. [VISUAL] Ghosted echo of the aborted line snapping back; tight whoosh cue. [CONTROLS] " RIGHT CLICK (TAP) " during early swing; strike within 1.00s. AIR COMBO TUNING — “SKILLFUL SUSPEND” [MECHANIC] Example route: FLECHE → (Perfect Link) BIND RISE → (Perfect Link) REDOUBLEMENT → (reset BIND RISE via on-hit) → basic thrust weaves. With accurate facing and Perfect Links, maintain air control ~3.0–3.5s on standard mobs before heavy resist asserts. Bosses begin with 3 Juggle stacks and accrue faster; sustained air beyond ~2.0s demands Perfect Links plus at least one Perfect Parry → RIPOSTE to clear resist. PvP limiter: after 2.50s continuous suspension within 6.0s, target gains “HEAVY” for 1.50s (immune to lift; still takes damage). Perfect Parry → RIPOSTE removes HEAVY. [VISUAL] HEAVY shows a quick silver ripple; RIPOSTE adds a ruby edge flare. [CONTROLS] Automatic—driven by timing, facing, and links. PVP / PVE SAFEGUARDS [MECHANIC] Boss Super-Armor: −35% lift height and −25% suspension duration, stacking with Juggle Resist. Elites start with 1 stack. PvP trims lift by −25% and suspension by −20%; FLECHE’s 2-block shove is unchanged to preserve spacing. Perfect Link ignores only the triggered skill’s cooldown; a 0.18s global lockout prevents macro spam while remaining human-linkable. All SKILL hitboxes are tight cones; server decides hits. TRUE damage bypasses armor and Resistance but respects invulnerability frames. [VISUAL] Super-armor shimmer when mitigation applies; PvP-trimmed effects slightly cooler. [CONTROLS] No extra input beyond binds. AUDIO / VFX BUDGET [MECHANIC] Particles scale with client setting: basic thrust 2/tick; BIND RISE 16/tick ascent; REDOUBLEMENT 8 per cut; FLECHE trail 12/tick; PARRY spark 10 burst. All decals fade ≤1.0s. Sound cues are short and pitch-coded (Link up-chime, Parry ping, Lunge sting). BALANCE SUMMARY [MECHANIC] The weapon’s identity is positional control and execution: Perfect Links, precise facing for directional shoves, and disciplined Feint/Parry management. Air loops are powerful but skill-gated; PvE stays fair via super-armor and stack caps, while PvP remains interactive through trimmed lift, the HEAVY limiter, and the requirement to clear it with Perfect Parry → RIPOSTE.
