Musician Fighting Style

Ferdex

Every pirate crew needs a musician.

This is meant to be a support fighting style (like sniper, doctor and art of weather) and has mechanics akin to art of weather and doctor, as it's meant to buff your allies and debuff enemies. Obviously based on Brook, who has been shown capable of altering other people's emotions and attitudes through his musical skills.

First quest should be something like acquiring an instrument, like a violin or guitar that could be either crafted or obtained with a trader. It would unlock 3 moves, each corresponding to a different sound, similar to Art of Weather's heat, cool and electric balls. By combining these 3 sounds, you can use the rest of the moves (passive's like AoW's tempos), which would be unlocked through different quests, like other fighting styles.

1st Combination - Strengthening Melody: Buffs all nearby allies with a little extra strength and resistance for 10 seconds or so.

2nd Combination - Weakening Melody: Sends out a wave (similar to Goe Goe's or Noro Noro's but with music notes) that debuffs enemies with weakness and slowness for a couple of seconds.

3rd Combination - Sleeping Melody (Nemuriuta Flanc in the anime): Sends out a wave (just like weakening melody) and anyone caught in the wave would fall asleep for a couple of seconds, excluding allies.

4th Combination - Illusory Melody: Sends out a wave (just like weakening melody) that covers the enemy's screen in musical notes, effectively blinding them for a couple of seconds. If used on an NPC, they will move around in circles. Won't affect allies.

5th Combination - Hypnotic Melody: Sends out a wave (just like weakening melody) that temporarily enables friendly fire for whoever was affected, effectively allowing them to damage their allies during a fight. If used on an NPC, they will immediately target the nearest entity, wether an ally or not. Won't affect your own allies. (really useful in team fights against people with massive AOE attacks) might be hard to implement due to how factions work, idk

This fighting style might not be able to deal any damage on it's own, but it's various support-like abilities allow it to be useful when used in combination with other people.

suggestions would be appreciated

this is really very good and detailed

ElWalrus

I mean it has stuns/blind so it can be viable in pvp

ElWalrus

Maybe you also could add guitar/vilion/whatever as weapons. They would work similar to bows and shoot like sound/music shockwaves, these sound blast could have a bigger projectile so it is easy to hit stuff because i would say that is one of the main problems with sniper and the Fighting style would buff the dmg for music weapons same as swordsman gives buffs to swords

Ferdex

ElWalrus thats a great idea, they would be similar to guns but also unique in their own way. Also i didn't think about this being a sort of buff to nagi, but that's cool aswell.

xxnblitz

Sound mechanics would be super cool, it gives nagi more purpose and maybe could boost fruits that use sound based attacks already.

Arcmoon

xxnblitz and add earplug to prevent sound moves which need to occupy the helmet bar lol

ElWalrus

You guys right nagi op but wouldn't earplugs be a bit to strong? They would have to be low durability or smth

ElWalrus

There are also multiple moments in the anime/fillers/films where u see brook fighting with literally music

Kaiyo

In general I don’t see music as a fighting style, just like how cooking isn’t.

Even the doctor style is more non-combat focused, unless you use it to heal teammates. Either way its a support.

But the introduction of instruments for fun could be nice. Same with more foods for cooking that require unique items to make new dishes.

ElWalrus

i see very much how it can be a fighting style and even if it will only be for fun ill take it

tbh i think this should be added since a debuff ability to slow or stun would be quite good for pvp as well
