Phinisher

A Phinisher is a Phighter's strongest move, known for being able to turn the tides of a battle when used. Phinishers are incredibly powerful, unique to each Phighter, and have a significant impact on the outcome of a match. Phinishers can be used once the player has gathered enough Phinisher Points over the match.

Mechanics and Interactions

The Basics:

• The F key in the game's UI displays the player's Phinisher as a percentage between 0-100%.
• To use an Phinisher, the F key must be at 100%.
  • A sound effect will play when a Phighter's Phinisher is ready.
• The Phinisher percentage increases passively over time, as well as damaging enemies and healing teammates.

Phinishers have several mechanics and interactions:

• On use, 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 use their Phinisher.
  • The player can still take damage during the animation.
  • If the player dies before the animation completes, the Phinisher's effects are cancelled. The Phinisher points are not refunded.
  • Status effects do not cancel Phinishers. However, the player can be displaced by pull or knockback effects.
  • The player is suspended in the air for the animation's duration.
• Your Phighter's unique Phinisher dialogue will be displayed at the bottom-center of the screen.
  • This is visible to all players.
  • The color of the dialogue is used to indicate the team using the Phinisher.

Phinisher Points

Phinisher Points is an internal value which measures the player's progress to obtaining their Phinisher. Each Phighter's Phinisher requires a sufficient amount of Phinisher points to use. The amount of Phinisher points needed differs between each Phighter, with higher values requiring more time. However, the numbers for gaining Phinisher points are same across the board.

• Each player passively gains 1 Phinisher point per second.
  • During One Minute Remaining, this is reduced to 1 Phinisher point per 0.3 seconds.
  • Phinisher points are still generated even if the player is currently dead.
• Doing damage to enemies or healing other teammates gains Phinisher points at a conversion rate of 10 damage or healing/1 Phinisher point.
  • Each source of damage can generate a maximum of 10 Phinisher points.
  • Damaging or healing yourself does not generate Phinisher points.
  • Phinishers such as Biograft's Overheat and Hyperlaser's Eviscerating Ray disable this mechanic for the duration of the Phinisher's effect.

Phinisher points has several interactions:

• Switching Phighters transfers the player's current Phinisher points to that character.
  • e.g. A Rocket that currently has 75/75 Phinisher points switches to Medkit. The Medkit starts with 75/150 Phinisher points.
• Furthermore, the player can still gain Phinisher points even if the player has more than sufficient amounts to use their Phinisher. Having excess Phinisher points affects the class-switch interaction above this dotpoint.
  • e.g. A Sword with 100/75 Phinisher points switches to Medkit. The Medkit starts with 100/150 Phinisher points.
• Using your Phinisher sets the player's current Phinisher points to 0.
  • e.g. A Rocket with 150/75 Phinisher points uses Rocket Barrage. The Rocket's Phinisher points is now 0/75.
• Phinisher points passively generate during the map and gamemode intro screen, allowing players to start the game with 15-25% to their Phinisher (depending on phighter). Whether this is an intended interaction is yet to be determined.
