Is there any consideration on letting it drop at her feet like Ayana's mines by pressing in the left stick? It seems like it'd be a relatively perfect fit considering the explosion time 'should' give you time to get clear. All I personally see might need tweaking is the explosion time and unusual interactions with solid objects. It might just be easier, albeit rough, to just give it punch through so what we see as the explosion penetrates objects is actually what happens because as far as I can tell it is getting stopped. Ergo, placement of shots can sometimes result in no damage or at least that has been my observation. Still, great to be able to shoot Valeria's boss fight weapon! Keep up the good work!

We might get this indirectly if we ever get a character that can chameleon themselves as their target... hint hint. This would let them essentially be that character with all their abilities and maybe even Cards. Obviously, this would be a Local and everyone would hate them when they Antagonized and snuck into the team as their Harec!

It's still only going to seem strong with a decent amount of Forging. Though I guess what we're seeing now is the 'core' damage. Maybe, don't fix Schneider's drone just yet...

Does the health of the Mech scale at all besides using Cards or is it static?

It's not that bad a Card but the ticks actually seemed pretty slow and 'that' was more noticeable to me than the distance required. If you naturally heal faster than the Card does because well... you're probably losing aggro than yeah it wont matter either way. I can see this being useful when you immediately pop the mech because it is 'that' close to you when you do and it might help you regain some of the health lost while Mech Romancing!

This is both the trickiest and most diverse of her weapons. I've already figured on three play-styles with it.

1. Just shoot it like bullets and hope for the best because this weapons is very spammy and can simply be used as a bullet hose with massive bullets. This is very inefficient and doesn't reward the player with good damage but you'll still net some damage and mixed with a melee card that triggers after a shot can still set you up for good damage.

2. This was best pointed out by Milky in that you want to do a two shot combo by shooting once with a lower or precise bounce then detonate it with a second tap on sphere for the AOE blast. This is by far the most efficient damage wise but it's also the trickiest and even after explaining this mechanic to individuals they do seem to struggle with it quite a bit.

3. Last but not least, you simply work on your bounces to get as many as possible per shot or mag and likely get random AOE in the mix. While neither worst or best, this is how a lot of people 'seem' to be using the weapon as the bouncing/growing mechanic is very easy visually to grasp.

Why use just one style? Different situations might warrant different styles over another either because you simply don't have time or the set up required. If you're going to actually practice this weapon, less spamming and careful explosions or multiple bounces will get you further. Ergo, try not to dump your mag but also keep in mind this gun is full auto and will do that with little effort from the player.

Metal Gear Hans: Cookvengence

This does make me think it should have been food attacking him instead... I will consider this instead of bullets he's slicing. I'm not satisfied with the current graphic anyways. Maybe they'll be Qualephs if I really want to meme it up. Also, he doesn't actually use his sword, he just makes the motion as if he's drawing the sword. I'll have a second video up too soon and I guess I'll put moderation on or comments off...

Haha, I was prepared for a liberal amount of toxic nonsense. As to your question Placelord, it's dealing with Hans and a dream he has about Wardogs. I will likely do them all as dream sequences to keep it light and I always liked the idea of them fantasizing in their own ways. This is just something I'm doing for my own reasons and it's frankly been too long since I messed with any of my own projects instead of just supporting the younger more vibrant individuals in the community.
