Phinisher

A phighter's Ultimate or Ult for short is their strongest ability. Ultimates are incredibly powerful, unique to each phighter and have a significant impact over the outcome of a match. Ultimates have a long downtime between uses, requiring the player to make the most of its benefits.

Mechanics and Interactions

Ultimates use cost as their resource, which functions similarly to ability cooldowns.

• Each player passively gains 1 cost every second. During One Minute Remaining, this is reduced to 1 cost per 0.3 seconds.
  • Cost is still generated even if the player is currently dead.
• Doing damage to enemies or healing other allies gains cost at a rate of 10 damage or healing/1 cost.
  • Damaging or healing yourself does not generate cost.
  • Ultimates such as Biograft's Overheat disable this mechanic for the duration of the ult's effect.
• The F key in the game's UI displays cost as a percentage between 0-100%.

Cost has several interactions:

• Switching phighters transfers the player's current cost to that character.
  • e.g. A Rocket that currently has 75/75 cost switches to Medkit. The Medkit starts with 75/150 cost.
• Furthermore, the player can still gain cost even if the player has more than sufficient amounts cast their ultimate. Having excess cost affects the class-switch interaction above this dotpoint.
  • e.g. A Sword with 100/75 cost switches to Medkit. The Medkit starts with 100/150 cost.
• Using your ultimate sets the player's current cost to 0.
  • e.g. A Rocket with 150/75 cost uses Rocket Barrage and then switches to Medkit. The Medkit starts with 0/150 cost.
• Each player gains cost during the map intro screen, allowing them to start the game with 15-25% to their ultimate. Whether this is an intended interaction is yet to be determined.

Ultimates have several mechanics and interactions:

• On cast, the player's camera will cut to a close-up of their phighter performing a unique animation. If this animation finishes, the player will successfully cast their ultimate.
  • The player can still take damage during the animation.
  • If the player dies during the animation, the ultimate will not cast. The cost is not refunded.
  • Hard status effects will not interrupt the animation, but the player can be displaced by pull or knockback effects.
  • The player is suspended in the air for the animation's duration.
• The phighter's unique ultimate dialogue will be displayed at the bottom-center of the screen.
  • The color of the dialogue is used to indicate between teammate and enemy ultimates.
